Come here during lunch time and find no room to stand. There are 15 food counters serving shushi,ramen, sandwiches, soups , pho, salad bar, indian food, and choice of tea /coffee If u are walking by , its on the opposite side of YWCA n next to Hornby underground parking With enough food options , u can basically try everything on every new day. I liked the portion served n most importantly speed of service is good. Salad counter in front is pretty cool as u get to choose/ make ur own salad. Most of the counters take all forms of money ie credit, debit, cash. Very good for lunch breaks

Anyways love the choices. My favorite Indian Place is located inside here. Indian Abroad. Good luck in getting a spot because it does get super busy. Good thing is that people here eat quite fast and then they leave. There is nothing but just food. Also they close early at like 3 pm or whenever food runs out. So many good choices.

A friend told me Japadog is a must try in Vancouver, and I can definitely see why! It's not…read moretraditional Canadian food, but it's a Vancouver born street food that puts a fun Japanese twist on the classic hot dog, blending Japanese flavors with a familiar North American favorite. It has definitely become an iconic part of Vancouver's food scene. We went for the classics, the Kurobuta Terimayo hot dog, Love Meat hot dog, and poutine. Personally, the Kurobuta Terimayo was my favorite. The pork sausage was juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of teriyaki sweetness and mayo. It wasn't greasy at all, but you could really taste the richness and flavor of the pork. We were also lucky enough to try Japadog at two locations in Los Angeles, so if you happen to spot one, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

Amazing service and loved the casual atmosphere, very laidback, but the food is absolutely fantastic, that flavor on the Waygu hot dog with the sauce was outstanding, but the star was actually the octopus balls, great flavor and chew and the mayo, wasabi combo put this on another level. Must try in Vancouver.

I went back for the Omurice with curry sauce this time, and it was guuud. The omu, while not quite…read moreas expertly made as the last time, was still fluffy and satisfying. The rice was plain - not ketchup-fried - which was a bit of a letdown initially, but it was freshly, perfectly cooked. It made a great bed for the copious dollop of curry sauce. The curry was salty in a good way, umami and yummy, and there were even a few small chunks of tender beef floating in it. It made for a heartier lunch and I think it's well worth the extra four bucks. My friend ordered her first Japadog ever, the Teri Mayo (pronounce it "mai-yoh" if you want to sound authentic) version. She proclaimed it delicious and devoured it quickly. Thumbs up from both of us.

With so many styles and flavours to sample, Japadog will keep you coming back for more. They have veggie options and non-veggie options. One of their sausages, Kurobuta Okonimi, is topped with fried cabbage, Japanese Traditional sauce, Japanese mayo, and Bonito flakes. They also have chicken hot dogs, wagyu beef ones, tonkatsu, kurobuta croquettes, poutine and many flavours of takoyaki. Another sausage popular among Japanese customers is the Kurobuta Oroshi which has grated radish, green onions and a special soy sauce on it. I picked option # 1, KUROBUTA TERIMAYO, which is a Kurobuta Pork sausage topped with fried onions, Teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo and ample strips of seaweed sprinkled on top. It was so good.

Normally, they are roasted on those little rocks, they are dry, easy to crack out of the shell, nutty tasting and leave your hands black with charcoal, but now they are disgusting. They are steamed with what seems like sugar water. The shells are sticky with sugar syrup and you can't get the chestnuts out of the shell at all. You have to bite the whole thing and spit out the shell. They are too sweet and super soft and soggy. They are really gross. If that is sugar water that they are using then they should post a sign stating what the ingredients are for those that cannot have extra sugar or whatever is on there. I will never buy their chestnuts again if they plan on sticking with this new way of making them.

This is a new food stand that opened up not too long ago in the International Food Court. I wasn't…read moreinterested in trying it until my colleague highly recommended it. She said the portion is big and for a meal that includes rice or noodle, veggies and a meat option is only $8. She was right. I couldn't go wrong for such a cheap price and especially it is located downtown. I looked at the food options and a lot of the menu items were spicy. Except for 2 dishes: honey pork and beef brisket. Yes I went with the honey pork. It was good and I guess because it was entirely meat I think I got less compared if I chose beef stir fried with veggies. Like I said it is an inexpensive meal. I am personally not a fan of Chinese food. I would say it was ok but I don't think I would have it often. The owner there was very friendly and nice. You also get free tea if you eat in at the food court. I mean you could get the free tea to go but I didn't bother. I have tea at work.

Black Pearl is one of the newer entrants to the food court, so I figured I'd give it a shot during one of my lunch hours. I ordered the Combo (7.95) and got the extra item (2.50) for the heck of it; I chose the chicken cutlet and the beef stew. The Chicken Cutlet was a bit on the oilier side, wasn't really that crispy, and mainly tasted of salt. Beef Stew was more flavourful, though was super duper fatty, even for brisket. There were a few bits of daikon strewn throughout. Overall, the food isn't the best, but you get what you pay for: a fairly large portion of warm food that while not the best quality, will definitely fill you.

I've been trying for awhile to sample these donuts as people rave about them on Instagram. I…read morefinally got the chance when they were offered at Black Sugar Coffee House (which seems like a super cute place with great service) in Port Moody. It's clear that I wasn't the only one wanting to get my hands on them as there was already a lineup when I got there at 10:30 am (the time they started selling them). They're $20 for 4 and the flavors this week were: Classic Cinnamon Sugar, Tiramisu, Banana Cream Pie (my favorite), and Apple Crumble. The donuts themselves were good, but what stood out to me were the fillings. Donut fillings can taste artificial and fake, but these fillings tasted so fresh and flavorful. I'm not even the biggest banana fan, but the Banana Cream Pie was excellent. Instead of artificial banana filling, it was filled with real bananas and tasted so clean. Likewise with the tiramisu - I'm not big on coffee flavors, but this Tiramisu was spot on. All in all, you can tell that these donuts are made with care and don't taste artificial. Definitely worth checking out, especially for their amazing fillings!

I'm one of those who like traditional authentic recipes, but these tacos were just simply delicious! The folks at Cartel Taco only use local grass-fed free range meats for their tacos. You can either choose beef ribeye or pork butt. All of their meats are marinated in soy, chili, sesame oil, brown sugar & spices. After, they're pan grilled and served with even more spicy goodness with crunchy kimchi. The beef and pork tacos were spicy, and they're perfect with a cold drink to cool you down. They use only locally hand made white corn tortillas from Burnaby with only corn, water, and lime. With all of the fresh and local ingredients, they're easily my favourite tacos for snack time. Yum.
