    Lemons with the peel mixed in the salad. Really??!!
    Mori N.

    Yah....No....Don't. I got the salad with Beef. I don't even remember the name and it doesn't matter. 17 bucks it cost me. This is what I got: Greens that were a day away from being rotten. Veggies that tasted leftover. Miso dressing that had gone bad and curdled. Lemon chunks that had not been peeled mixed in with the salad (see pics). "Here, have a lemon like you would an apple!" I stopped eating after two bites, because honestly I didn't want to risk getting food poisoning. With that kind of a start I didn't trust the kitchen to have kept the beef at appropriate standards, because the mistakes were so basic. When I first walked in.....the place seemed dark and dingy and their buffet of ingredients did set off alarm clocks as it didn't seem fresh and I guess I should've walked out. A massive disappointment and probably the worst salad I (attempted) to have.

    Window seats are the best!

    Overall Rating 3.5/5 The high ceilings give the space an airy and open feel, while the green vines add a natural touch of beauty. It was definitely not a ghost town at 12:20pm on a Monday! It's a great place for a quick lunch alone, coworkers or with friends. Having late hours makes it a good spot for late-night eats. Food: Orange BBQ Chicken Wings ($15) - Rating: 6.5/10. The chicken wings were heavily breaded and not as crispy as expected. The breading absorbed the orange BBQ flavor, which made it quite prominent. The orange flavor is familiar, akin to orange chicken from Panda Express, but much more rich and sweet in taste - not something everyone likes. Spicy Mexican Burrito ($13.5) - Rating: 8/10. The burrito wasn't spicy, but the ingredients were fresh, and the tortilla was soft and thin yet substantial enough to hold all the fillings. It was delightful to see the vibrant colors inside after cutting it in half. 2 Churros ($7.75) - Rating: 7/10. The churros were very crispy and too dense, but the whipped cream and chocolate sauce on the side balanced it out. They would have been more enjoyable if they were a little fluffier, chewier and softer inside.

    Hungry guys $8.90 bowl.

    Hungry Guys is one of my favourite alternatives to Chipotle to get Mexican-inspired bowls. Like Chipotle, you choose your grains and protein topped off with veggies. The portions here are a bit bigger than what you get at Chipotle. My favourite protein on the menu is grilled chicken. I am also continuously surprised how cheap the bowls are, at $8.90 before tax, I think the prices might have gone down since their opening a few years ago. It is rare to find a restaurant the offers both quality and quantity at this price especially in the downtown core. I will be coming to Hungry Guys more often for my post-gym (YMCA) meals.

    Specialty burrito has WAY more stuff in it compared to the build your own. Burrito on left has "extra meat"
    H ..

    Ordered through Skip. 3 items - 2 burritos and a bowl. They got the bowl completely wrong, not the worst thing ever, but not what we wanted. Good flavours and fresh ingredients though. I'll give them another go later.

    Wish they would practice what they preach.

    Hungry Guys Kitchen is basically like Tractor or Freshii; They have menu items but also a build your own Burrito / Salad / Bowl option. Pro-tip, if you order the build your own salad, one of the base options is rice, so you can basically still get a build your own bowl for about $2 cheaper (before add-ons like protein or guac). The Good: Lots of options! Vegan and Vegetarian friendly, with meat options for those who want that instead. Lots of topping choices and dressings (all but 2 are vegan, so rest assured, we plant-based foodies will have a dressed salad!). Portions were pretty good. Got a lot of bang for my buck! Me and my friend went around 7:30 and there was no line, so we got our food quickly, though I can't imagine this place gets as busy as chipotle or anything. I can't see people waiting too long regardless of time, but I can't say for sure, as I have only been here once. The staff was friendly, and had no problem with me bringing in my own large bowl to use instead of their disposable ones. The Bad: For a company that explicitly says on its website (pictured) that sustainability is important to them, I was disappointed that there weren't reusable bowl / cutlery options for people who chose to eat in store, especially since they ENCOURAGE people to stick around on their site. The salad my friend got came in a plastic bowl. Supposedly it can be recycled. Did you know containers need to be rinsed / washed before they can be reycled? Hopefully everyone does this at home already, but it's near impossible when eating out. No-one is washing these containers before they're tossed away, and no-one at the recycling plant is going to take the time to clean them, so they will probably be thrown out. The cutlery is also supposedly biodegradable. Fun fact about bio-plastics; they need to be heated to temperatures of 140 degrees f to break down, and Vancouver doesn't currently have a system in place reserved for bio-plastics. They can't be recycled, because they would ruin the quality of the other recycled materials, so they must go in the trash. I would love to see Hungry Guys Kitchen bring some eco-friendly, washable plates/bowls/cutlery to their store, so people eating in can enjoy a waste-free meal. At the very least, maybe they could eliminate the plastic bowls and switch to the same type of compostable dish as the burrito bowl comes in, the kind of larger bowls Freshii has. Would also love to see them switch to bamboo cutlery as well, a truly biodegradable option. Here is my issue with Hungry Guys: they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. While their materials are currently "recyclable" and compostable (note: their website even uses the word reusable, so I would like to ask, where???), and people have fooled themselves into believing this is a viable option when trying to be eco-friendly, the truth is, there is still a ton of energy that goes into actually making and breaking down these items. They don't materialize out of thin air. Even these biodegradable bowls, which go back to the earth use energy to make. The best option for sustainability will ALWAYS be to have reusable dishes and utensils available.

    Good fusion tacos with generous portion of fillings.

Everything was tasty, but watch out for the staining spicy sauce. The tacos could get quite messy, I'd recommend eating the fallen fillings with a fork. Only unfortunate thing is the unavoidable piss smell just outside because of where it's located. But the restaurant is still worthwhile to visit, I'd come back to try other dishes.

It's right next to Rogers Arena and Stadium-Chinatown Station, so expect lots of business on event nights. It wasn't too crowded on the night that I came, but I've passed by a few times and seen it full on weekend evenings. It's small so there's not much ambiance, but the staff were friendly. I got the vegetable burrito bowl. It was good but I sort of felt like there was no unifying element to it at first, but when I thoroughly mixed everything together to get the sauce distributed, that made it much better. After mixing it was pretty tasty, but a little heavy on the sauce. FYI the "marinated fried tofu" in the veg bowl is inari, not block tofu. I also got a glass of Asahi, which was nice - it's Asahi. I wasn't blown away, but it was a good quick meal that definitely beats out chain fast food.

    This Mcdonalds is unique because there are no chairs and tables anywhere near the stand-alone mall…read morerestaurant. There are also no self-serve computer order kiosks. Eating in is not an option. Note that I came around 9pm on a Monday so maybe they took all the tables away earlier. Years ago when I visited this location, they had many chairs and tables just outside and inside the restaurant. Due to the awful area, a lot of homeless people were hanging around just sitting. Not necessarily eating. Now with the chairs and tables gone, there are barely any of them hanging around so I guess it's for the better. It didn't eliminate the problem entirely because as soon as I stepped out of the restaurant area I was asked a couple times by several people for a "rolling paper", extra change, or a lighter. Also, I noticed some of the windows of the restaurant were broken and boarded up with plywood. Yikes. It was VERY hot out (30 degrees!) So I decided to visit this McDonalds for a cheap but delicious frozen treat. I wanted to try their new peach smoothie but they ran out of it. I came later at 9pm so it's not surprising but it's still disappointing because I love peach smoothies. I settled for their strawberry banana smoothie. The smoothie I bought was delicious so I think it is very much worth it. It was refreshing and I could actually taste the strawberries and Banana flavors in it. In my opinion, a medium size is just enough to cool you down on an extremely hot day. Overall, their fruit smoothies are good! Good price too as it was "summer drinks day" time so it was only $2 for a medium one ($2.38 after tax and cup fee). Service could be better. There was a group of homeless looking people in front of me counting every dime, nickel and quarter to pay for their food so it took a really long time to wait to get my order in. There were 4 cash registers. Usually, another staff member would jump in and take another order using the other register but none came. Only one register was available and there were no self-serve kiosks. I had to wait 5-6 minutes to wait and get my order in even though there was only one order in front of me. Once I got my order in, it took a little longer than expected to get my smoothie, maybe 3-4 minutes. Usually it would take 1-2 minutes if it was not busy like this visit. I have a feeling that this Mcdonalds is either understaffed or just slow. Overall, I'd avoid this location if possible. Slower than expected service, and the type of people that are walking around in the area are not very, say, totally normal. Also there's nowhere to eat your food at the restaurant or near it. Kinda inconvenient. It's a decent grab and go place for the kind of stuff where you can walk and enjoy your food such as smoothies. Only giving 2 stars for the reasons stated above. I recommend you go to the slightly better Mcdonald's nearby instead. It's by Main Street - Science World skytrain station but only one short subway stop away from the Chinatown - Stadium Skytrain Station by the mall.

Otherwise I would have to wait anywhere from a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes because nobody (and I quote) nobody wanted to go into the back freezer for any of the beef patties and all that they had ready were the fish or chicken patties that had been sitting out under the warmer for a few hours!

    We searched for bratwurst near Rogers Arena, and Brat Haus came out on top. Just a short walk from…read morethe arena, this fast-casual spot turned out to be such a fun surprise. They offer 10+ house-made sausages, plus snacks, pretzels, and their famous monster milkshakes. It's not just for photos. The food tastes as good as it looks. Monster Milkshake - Break Me Off a Piece of That: Not your average milkshake. It came loaded with a chocolate ice cream bar, crushed vanilla waffle cone, and Kit Kat bars blended into a rich chocolate heaven. German Brats - Pete Brat: Texas bison sausage topped with onions and bell peppers, wrapped in gooey gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar. This is my favourite! Summer Special - Maui Beef Brat: Sweet with mango habanero sauce, grilled pineapple, teriyaki mayo, and jalapeños. Super unique combo. Curry Fries: Crispy fries piled high with currywurst slices, curry ketchup, and mayo. Perfect comfort snack. Massive Soft Pretzels: Golden, chewy, and the ultimate Gastown shareable snack (though I wouldn't mind finishing one myself). This spot is a gem in the neighbourhood. Brat Haus really levels up casual food and milkshakes into something fantastic and playful. We'll definitely be back. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Eatery Kids: 3/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 each person (lunch) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Finding street parking in the area is a significant challenge. There is paid underground parking at the International Village Mall. Tips: * Self-serve sauce counter for those who like to add extra flavours. * Best options for a pre-game snack before Rogers Arena or a late-night bite in Gastown. * Can play an old-school Pac-Man machine while you wait.

Great flavor, nice snap, and I'm definitely interested in trying more of their menu options next time. The fries, though, were a bit of a miss for me. They were not super fresh, and the seasoning had a funky taste I didn't love. Might just be a personal preference, but I'd probably skip them next time. Overall, great vibe, solid food, and worth a second visit. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu!
