Stumbled across this place randomly. This place serves a surprisingly high variety of food…read more Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. I thought it was a burger place befoer looking at the menu. They do fish & chips, salads, wraps, burgers, burritos, fried chicken, and fries. This is pretty impressive I must say. Special mention. I just stood there and stared. The menu boards inside the restaurant run the entire length of the counter. Staff are friendly, though the ordering is quite slow. As Andrew M mentioned, the layout is indeed quite inefficient. There are only 4 small tables (8 seats total) for the entire place, along a wall. The rest of it is one giant kitchen. Best to do takeout to be honest. The fish and chips were pretty decent, but quite pricy. Not great value. Fries were honestly quite mediocre. I'd stick to the cheaper items such as wraps or burgers. Wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the other stuff at some point.

As an avid foodie, let me break down all the hits, misses, and support…read more 1) Fresh: everything is freshly made to order (eg fries, burger), else held in a proper temp hold w Staub pots. They're the best & extremely expensive. Chef knows his hold temps too! See pics. OMG I saw someone order falafel plate and they got huge, made to order falafel!!! My next visit is this!!! 2) Clean: The whole restaurant was clean (minus the table behind us who left). Nice open kitchen so you can see everything. I don't know if chef will kill me, but he offered us the staff-only handwashing station bc we came in filthy after a day of gardening. I don't know if this is offered to every guest. But people need clean hands & a toilet. This is why you won't get above 4* 3) Food: Chef offered me if I didn't love his recommendation, he would pay double. I ate 1 bite and told him to keep his $$. He offered me the Crunchy Chicken Wrap. It's SOOOO loaded w chicken & huge, made 2 meals for me. But next time I really want spicy chicken, or Angry fish. 4) Place: I give the place 3.5 stars...only bc there's only 8 seats (very busy), and no toilet. I was happy chef let us wash our hands but I think this was a one off. People need a place to wash their hands, despite staff only areas. Also people like to go to the bathroom when they're dining in. 5) Parking: you can park out back: they share space w Beefway, or park along Kingsway off hours. Chef was so communicative & generous in my order. My friend got the double burger, and we shared chili fries. Everything was top tier, even the chili fries. Just not chilli: just spiced beef crumble. But to all the fries haters who posted: you are SOOO off! These were twice fried fries (crispy outside, soft inside), plus the spicy dust is amazing! Edit: Downlow fries have better dust. Also...good sign: we came in about 10:15pm...they close midnight. They were packed with in-house diners, delivery drivers, and their own website delivery. You know a place is good when the stoner-hour is blowing up their delivery!

Came in with high expectations, left feeling disappointed. Fish was just ok with soggy wet batter…read more The clam chowder bowl was good but not really mind blowing like I've had before. The star of the show, surprisingly, was the coleslaw and the fries. Service was friendly and they checked on you often, filled your water. Atmosphere wasn't the most enjoyable as you can't really hear your table talk because the staff are having TOO good of a time working and laughing. While I think it's great to have a workplace where employees enjoy where they work, it didn't make a nice dining experience for us. Overall, Jack's is just mid level fish and chips... but I don't think I'll be back. Followed your story on IG for a while so I wish you all the best.

It looked like a small place from the outside but they cater to bigger groups as well - we were a group of 10 that went there on a Sunday night. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Their food was incredible! I only got one of their cocktails - the mithai wala which came with rose petals and a vodka base. It was delicious, I would recommend! For food, we got their achari chicken from their tandoor menu. It was really good, we went for a medium spice level for it but I think we could have done hot. The flavours were really good and chicken was cooked very well! We also got their kathal tikka (which is basically jackfruit), it's so hard to find that in Vancouver but Hariyali did an incredible job! Everyone on the table were a big fan of it! Their menu is pretty big and we didn't get a lot of their items but I will definitely come back to try more things. It is also pretty affordable! Would recommend a visit!

We also ordered a Mango Milk Tea ($5.49) and a Jasmine Green Tea ($4.99) with our preference of sugar and ice levels. Both were very refreshing and tasty. It was the perfect pairing with our meal!

My friend said "hey, wanna listen to some heavy music while having a good meal?" I wasn't sure of…read morethe music but I would never say no to good food. Last night my 3 friends and I visited this awesomely eclectic, dimmed lighted little dive on East Hastings Street. If you don't like heavy metal music then still run to this awesome little place to enjoy delicious homemade food. Service was prompt and friendly. Truly enjoyed looking at their decor of vintage animals and rock/heavy music. We had: Jackalopes Lager, Strathcona Pilsner and Pickle Back (Canadian Club Rye with a shot of pickle juice). My friend said the pickle juice made the Pickle Back surprisingly refreshing. The Rib Splitter: The blackberry bbq sauce ribs are insanely good. The meat just falls off the bone. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. Loved the hot skillet that kept the mashed potatoes temperature hot/warm. Hands down, the best ribs in town. Bake-up the Dead: breaded chicken breast served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was seasoned well and juicy. The house made gravy added another dimension and depth to the already perfectly cooked chicken. Veggie Burger: my friend said it was an excellent veggie burger in that the homemade patty was moist and very filling. Wouldn't miss beef eating this veggie burger. Bead pudding: 2oz of bourbon solidified this light and sweet dessert. My friends liked the bread pudding but I didn't as I usually don't like sweet bread. Hoping For another option on my next visit. There are vegan options so filling a range of eaters. Will be back to try the nachos and another supper meal. Tips: The tables in the back are not as loud with music compared to the front. Hastings Street is now all meter parking so go to the side streets. Weekend open till midnight.

The potato was the star of the show and perfectly soft and just the right amount of flavoring and slight sweetness. The seaweed Was well seasoned and slightly vinegary to help cut any of the heavy feeling of the broths we ordered. The seollungtang was delicious! THey season it beforehand which I have not experienced before, but they season it well. The broth was rich and the meat was soft. It also comes with glass noodles which has a great chewy texture. The galbitang was just okay. It didn't taste like the usual one I eat, and the galbi had a strange texture. I wonder if it was frozen and then cooked. And it had a slightly unpleasant taste to it-- in Korean it's " 고기 잡내가 나요" -- like an unpleasant meaty/gamey taste. I also found a hair in the broth but it was towards the bottom when I are most of it. Overall, I would come back for the selongtang!

Was looking forward to my experience here. I live somewhat close to the area, so pass by it fairly…read moreoften. I finally decided I wanted to try it after reading all the 5 star reviews. Don't get me wrong, the food is good here. I ordered the gamjutang and seafood pancake. Having seen a recent post on Instagram and reading the reviews, I thought I finally found a match to my favorite gamjutang (from Damso), and didn't have to travel all the way downtown. Unfortunately, Damso is yet to be beat. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the gamjutang here, but it's lacking. The bones barely had any meat to them, and it just lacked spice/onions. The bowl of rice they gave you was on the smaller side as well. The seafood pancake seems to have skyrocketed in price too. From looking at Google reviews of the picture of the menu, it seems the price increased by $10; it's now closer to $30. Anyways, what really disappointed me wasn't the food. It was the service. I came in shortly after 6:40pm on a Thursday. The first room was booked up, so the gentleman took me to the side room. It was a bit odd, as I was the only one in that room the entire time I was there (2 hours). I wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't the fact that barely anyone checked up on me. Initially in the first hour, they were still attentive; then after the food arrived, they forgot about me. I kept thinking surely, someone would check up on me from time to time; perhaps to refill my water, but then 30 minutes passed, then an hour. Finally after so long my server showed up again; I have no idea where she disappeared to. I quickly asked for the bill and packed up what I couldn't finish and left. I'm still willing to give this place a second chance, but they need to be more attentive next time. Overall the food was good, though lacking in some areas. In the end, I'll still recommend this restaurant if your in the area and want some good Korean food.
