Perhaps you'd be able to unlock it after writing 500 reviews, like some sort of yelp/super mario hybrid. Alfresco Tonight is described best by the creators as: "Alfresco brings together old friends, with new, celebrating great food, public space, spontaneity, and surprise. In a flash mob fashion, diners meet, set up, share food, and dismantle. The location is kept secret till the evening prior. Part slow food, part art installation, Alfresco is an urban curiosity." The creators of Alfresco are aiming to encourage local consumption, a heightened appreciation of the outdoors, increased community together-ly-ness, delicious eating, and sustainability via the 'leave no trace' motto. Find me something NOT to love about this concept. The most recent Alfresco night took place at the Davie Street community garden. Little tea lights glimmered while folks from all walks chatted merrily amongst autumn leaves. Some were even able to boast about the fruits of their own garden plot. Something about bringing people together in this way is just really wonderful. How often do you share a meal with someone new, or eat something totally unheard of only to find out it's manna. All this while gaining a deeper appreciation for the city and those locally sourced items that can be found right at our fingertips? So what do you say, Halifax? Who wants to try this Van based trend and picnic with me? :) ps: this event is free other than the cost of creating your own pot-latch style dish!

DO NOT USE COZYMEAL!! This company is extremely unprofessional and has terrible customer service…read more We had a chef cause a serious incident requiring over $1000 in damages to the kitchen. The company has handled this with absolutely no urgency or professionalism. The chef was inappropriate and hostile with no effort from the company to compensate for damages. We are waiting for word back on the situation, but the company has been giving us the run around for 10 days with no communications from a manager or owner despite us being promised multiple times that they would get back to us the next day. We will be proceeding with legal action and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau due to the severity of the situation and the lack of action from the company.

Absolutely loved my first experience with Cozymeal Cooking class. Fantastic evening and well…read moreorganized. I wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away. Chef John is knowledgeable, efficient, and concise. We joined the "Paris Bistro Classics" class. I've learnt many tricks and hacks that I didn't know before and I can't wait to try them again in my own kitchen. Highly recommended for a date out, or even with a group of friends or for yourself.

If you order the combo, you order your choice of meat, soup base, carb (rice or noodles), and drink all for $20-25! This is excellent value for how much food you're getting and I always leave full! Also stomach ache free which typically happens to be the case when I go to other hot pot establishments :D

Several people who walked in had to wait at least 30 minutes. The service is quick and efficient, and they are fast and attentive with our requests or clearing our plates. The interior is a bit on the older side and outdated looking, and it can definitely feel muggy inside with all the continuously bubbling hot pots. I ordered the Beef Blade Eye Hot Pot Combo ($19.95) and I think it's a great deal. It comes with a plate of meat, a bunch of vegetables and side items like fish balls, tofu, shrimp, etc., choice of rice, udon or vermicelli, a drink, and a soft serve! I chose to get the udon, a yakult green tea, and the taro soft serve. The ingredients are decently fresh and everything is so efficient. I feel like you can't go wrong for all these things and at this price!

Been here a couple of times. Good variety of dim sum and good prices. Some days, they run out of…read moreitems, which is a good thing. I've come around late morning ( before noon ) and they were out of some of the popular items as they haven't made more yet. Sometimes the casing for the dumplings can be thick, especially for the XLB. It isn't always consistent, hence the lightly lower rating. The shrimp dumpling is good, and a good size too.

It is located on Kingsway by Tyne across from the Safeway. There is plenty of metered parking and free 2 hr parking a block away. This is a small mom & pop establishment...and when I say small, there is only room for 1 person to enter the store as the rest is screened off for COVID. They had everything we normally order and in bags of 20 or 50...perfect. The prices were the best that I have come across and be advised it is cash only. It was a positive food purchasing experience and happy to recommend Ling Nan Dim Sum Food if looking for frozen dim sum.

I recently went to Metrotown with my kids and we were thrown into the throes of pre-Christmas mayhem in the mall. I knew it would be bad when the parking lot was a free-for-all with no spots to be had. But I digress. While wandering the mall corridors like zombies out of a bad Netflix movie, my kids suddenly claimed to be "starving". Of course. So we made our way up to the food court on the upper level and surveyed the options in front of us. It's never easy trying to accommodate both my kids, who have very differing preferences (one is vegetarian, too), and myself, but we all agreed to "eat healthy", and when we saw the long line-up at this U-Grill place, we decided to check it out. It was obviously the most popular food venue in the food court on the day we were there, and we figured there must be a reason it's so popular. They offered a ton of fresh vegetable and meat and seafood choices, as well as tofu and various rices, which you choose in raw form, and they essentially stir-fry it up for you, and then you choose what sauce you'd like on it. It's priced by weight, and there really are a ton of choices. I don't think you could find a healthier option here at in the food court. I like how they offered Coke products too (personal bias. I prefer it to Pepsi). Service wasn't friendly or non-friendly - just fast and efficient. They were super busy that day we were here, and we were glad they didn't chit chat with customers. Did I mention my kids were "starving"? lol. Despite the long line, it moved quickly and our meals were cooked perfectly and were great. This is the place to go to get a healthy and fast meal here. It's not cheap, but it's good.

YUMMY!!! This place is absolutely fantastic! You grab a plate and put all of your own veggies and…read moremeat then they'll weigh it and give it to the cook to grill with your choice of sauce. They have ALL types of veggies from broccoli, zucchini, baby corn, green beans and my personal favorite mushrooms! They also have a variety of meats from teriyaki chicken, beef, crab, shrimp and also tofu. It also comes with your choice of white or whole grain rice. Good thing is the don't weigh the rice that comes on the plate after. My only complaint is it's quite expensive for "mall food". My partner and I each got our own plates and our total with only 1 water bottle was $39 and some change!!!! I did enjoy it and would go again but I'd be more careful on loading on those veggies which was the majority of my plate.

The recipe was simple and easy to follow. The preparation before cooking was a little bit challenging for me as i have never done those before, but still the whole process took me just a little bit over an hour. And the Chicken Cacciatore tasted surprisingly good, even though it was prepared by me. So I had a good meal and got the satisfaction from feeling like a real chef. The portion was a bit too small for a full meal, but I was on diet so 80% full is good enough for me.

Shareable but if you go in a group of 3 or 4 you get like one tiny bite -if you don't want to overspend on dinner, I would recommend coming in a group of 4+ people so you can split the bill and try more dishes. unless I ONLY ordered the galbi and side of rice to share with my fiancee, it's definitely expensive to eat here and wouldn't come just us two -The group debated even ordering the galbi cause dropping $90 on steak seemed alittle CWAZY. I will say it was mind blowing and it comes with soooo many pieces I would say it's worth - order the seafood soup. You can taste how fresh the seafood is (forgot to take a pic) - Food is great, price is steep. I would absolutely come back but definitely not often. For me personally, this is a special occasion/ fine dining place and requires $$$$
