Sausage egg hash browns
Sam E.

It's always hard to put a diner that does exactly what it's supposed to do, onto a five star system. It's a very laid back vibe, casual, L-shaped space. No frills but there was some aesthetical effort. The food was very simple. Nothing standing out nothing out of place nothing notable but nothing disappointing. It was an incredibly standard breakfast and sometimes that's exactly what you're in need of. Definitely too much hash browns on the plate compared to the rest of the meal. A decent diner, a menu that goes beyond the basics, standard breakfast.

Chicken and waffles
Jen H.

Had a really good brunch at Kook's cook. Parking is a bit limited at the front, but there is some in the back and on the side streets. I had the beef, Bulgogi Benedict and my partner had the chicken and waffles. We also ordered a fruit smoothie to share, but it tasted a bit bitter in my opinion. I like that the chicken and waffles came with fresh fruit. The potatoes were nicely done with the Benedict and my eggs were cooked perfectly. Next time I would love to try the pasta dishes! It is a smaller restaurant so services is quite attentive, but don't come with a large party unless you're ok sitting separately.

Western / Korean fusion style brunch place. They specializes in their egg benedict with bulgogi sprinkled on top. The bulgogi is different from traditional Korean dinner style bulgogi. It is more light flavour and sweet, compares to the salty traditional bulgogi, which in my opinion, does the perfect job to serve breakfast. Will come back and try the prawn pasta next time! Hidden gem.

We found this place after searching Google and Yelp for suggestion when our first choice (a Thai restaurant) was closed when we got there. The pictures and menu looked good. We were lucky to snag a table as it was fairly busy. Service was still pretty prompt and friendly despite being full house. The server highly recommended the bulgogi beef eggs Benedict and bulgogi beef burrito. I guessed they specialized in bulgogi beef here, or maybe it was just something different from the usual run of the mill brunch places. However the chicken and waffle caught my eye. Who could say no to fried chicken? I decided on the half order of the chicken and waffle which could be quite filling if you were not super hungry. It was sufficient for me. Luckily I did not get greedy and order the avocado croissant too. The fried chicken was not bad though not amazing. The waffle with maple syrup was really good. The star was the fruit cup. It had the most variety of fruits in it - berries, grapes, orange and more. Way better than Cora or Angelina. Coffee was refillable too. If I live nearer here, I will want to come back to try the bulgogi beef burrito and the garlic snowing pizza. They do have some not so common dishes here.

This place is a hidden gem! Everything was yummy and filling, awesome service fast and efficient! My family's second go to breakfast/brunch restaurant in this area.

Seriously this place does not cease to amaze me. I didn't realize a simple croissant-wich could be so damn good. I have zero complaints with this place. (Although an improvement could be made by getting decaf grinds for their coffee maker) Can't wait to come back

Kimchi Burrito
Monica K.

The space is a little small, so if you come during the weekend you will be waiting in line. It is totally worth the wait. One of the best brunch spots! My partner and I bother ordered a breakfast burrito, something we normally do not get. But it was just as good as any benny or breakfast platter. The wraps looked so pretty! Bulgogi Beef Burrito Scrambled eggs, sauteed onion, carrot, sweet soy marinated beef, scallion, bulgogi flake, and choice of (potato hash or fruit) Fruit extra cost. Kimchi Burrito Scrambled eggs, sauteed back bacon,jalapeno, crushed pepper, scallion, sauteed kimchi, kimchi flake and choice of (potato hash or fruit) Fruit extra cost. In the near future, I would like to come back for their lunch menu items. Everything sounds delicious as their pizza dough and sauce is made in house and their pasta has a little bit of spice which is up my alley. There is more parking at the back of the restaurant.

If you are looking for another brunch spot in the Coquitlam area Kooks Cooks is a great choice to try out! It's a small little restaurant tucked in Austin Ave. A great spot for smaller groups and families with little ones as they have a very homey feel and we saw the staff really make the young families very welcome in the restaurant by offering booth seatings and small cutlery particularly for young ones! For some of their dishes they add a bit of Korean flavours to it like the Bulgogi Beef Benedict, Kimchi Beef Burger and Sweet Potato Pizza! We ordered the Bulgogi Beef Benedict & 1/2 Chicken & Waffles. We were very much satisfied with all our dishes especially the crispy potato hash and loved the option of the half portion chicken and waffles. It was the perfect portion for two for lighter breakfast eaters like us!

Omelette
Adam S.

Went here for an early Father's Day brunch. There was a bit of a wait but we were seated quickly. We ordered after about 5m and we're served in about 15m. The food was good and fresh. The hash browns were the best I've ever had. The burrito was tasty and my dad liked his omelette. I wish I lived closer, I'd definitely come back.

Ordered the crab and prawn pasta, chicken and waffle and the bulgogi eggs benedict. The pasta was cooked with angel hair type of pasta so it's not too thick and the texture combined with the imitation crab meat went well together. Chicken wasn't over fried and had a good amount of meat. Waffle was soft, not crispy which my wife liked. Personally I would have liked it a little more crispy. The bulgogi benedict was good.

Bulgogi Benedict
Alan P.

Great service. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. I tried the bulgogi benedict and my mom got the cinnamon french toast. Generous portions and we enjoyed the food. Would not hesitate to come here again when visiting Vancouver.

Bulgolgi eggs Benedict
Vivian T.

Great brunch spot, love the Korean fusion in the dishes. The servers are very nice and would check often to see if we enjoyed our food. The offered side dishes but we didn't get it and they give free refill on your coffee. We had the bulgolgi eggs Benedict with a side of potato hash, which can I say, was made almost to perfection (just a bit on the salty side). Loved the texture and crunch, not soft and soggy at all! The savory bulgolgi paired well with the hollandaise sauce and poached eggs made perfectly. The egg white omelette was a very good option especially for people are conscious about eating cleaner (less cholesterol from egg whites then egg yolks) and our friend could not eat dairy so ordered it without cheese and she said the omelette was still great! Overall 10/10 would recommend

Really want to give 4 stars but there's just so many things that can be improved. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, it's mostly the owners. I avoided giving this place a try because my best friend used to work here. She said the food is actually decent but the owners are difficult. They were made to work on holidays and weren't paid extra for the holiday, instead they got some free food. (My other friend who's a waitress at another Asian owned restaurant said unfortunately that's many Asian restaurant owners). Im proud to be Asian, but this particular treatment I can't support. I was once a waitress for an Asian brunch place too and even when the customers secretly give me tips, I was often forced to put it in the "tip jar" so the owner can take most of it and we get "10%" and if the customers don't give any tips they bash on them and swear at the customers in their own languages behind their backs. Of course I left that toxic environment so I promised myself that I can't support places and owners like this. At first, my friend and her mom went in and told the owner about the reservation (but that the rest of the people are running late due to the construction nearby), she said they usually don't do reservations and that the waiter the other day made a mistake (she said unhappy that we were late). It got busy an hour later but when we got there (10minutes late) it was barely busy. I don't know what's with the attitude and it's not like it's my fault that they "made a mistake". It's on them, not the customer. Plus when we called earlier to let them know some of us are running late, the waitress who picked up the call didn't mention that "they do take reservations". Going to the food review. We came here because my family friends really wanted to meet up for brunch but we were short on time and a lot of places around had a long wait. We came here and surely they food wasn't bad at all. Some was better than the others though. Pasta was tasty but a tad too salty. The fried chicken waffle was surprisingly delicious. Not oily or heavy at all but not dry (not juicy but still very tender inside). The coffee was okay and the beer (bottled) was fine. The egg Benedict was good but I've had better. The other plates for about the same, so good but nothing memorable or a must "come back" type of experience. For the first half of our meal, one of the owner had the crappiest look like extremely unfriendly look and absolutely no smile. But when my friend started to speak Korean she started smiling a bit more and actually helped serving rather than standing there. She mostly didn't smile except towards a young white couple with a daughter. I'd say quite moody which for me, breakfast and brunch on weekends are to be peaceful and more relaxing as I'm so burnt out from work, I don't want to have bad energy on the weekends. Overall, food is decent but the energy here is odd and it's not the most convenient place if you don't drive so not my go to brunch or breakfast place.

The vibe is fun and stylish a good spot to bring your girlfriend or someone special. The menu has a lot of variety, and the food was well prepared, but personally, I wouldn't come here starving. Portions were decent, just not a place I'd go if I was extremely hungry. Drinks were a highlight and definitely add to the overall experience. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a solid brunch spot with good energy. Best enjoyed when you're looking for a relaxed meal, good drinks, and good company rather than a heavy, filling feast.

I came here with a friend for Taste of the Tri-Cities and we were both amazed at the quality and…read moreservice we received. To begin, we were greeted by an extremely friendly and cheerful server who genuinely seemed happy to serve us. He took our food order first as we weren't decided on drinks yet and said he would return shortly after he put our food order in. My friend ordered the 3 course menu, while I ordered the 5 course menu. He did note that since they were still new at serving the taste of tri-cities menu he wanted to get our order in right away as it tended to take longer than some of the other menu items. A few minutes later he returned for our drink order, and I requested a grape-ade drink (white grape flavoured lemonade?). Another few minute later, he returned with our drinks. Mine was absolutely delicious and reminded me of a particular Japanese white grape flavour that I love. After getting through a third of our drinks, our server returned very apologetic. He advised that our courses were taking longer than expected to be served and therefore we would be able to order another drink of choice on the house. As it hadn't even been that long, we were surprised but extremely grateful for the upfront honesty and quick action on the part of the staff. After another 10 minutes or so, our first course was set on our table. My first course was a soup of the day, which turned out to be a delicious cheddar and broccoli soup. It had some carrot slivers as well, and was a perfectly well balanced soup. My next course, the seared scallops, were brought out quite quickly and were also quite delicious. Admittedly, this was my first time trying scallops so I can't truly review them one way or another, given I didn't know what to expect from them. My third course was the beef arugula salad and although it didn't smell as appetizing given the mixture of plates I had prior, it was incredibly delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and was just as tender and juicy as I had hoped. My fourth course, the red wine braised short rib served with fondant potatoes and roasted seasonal vegetables, was positively to die for. I, admittedly, was stuffed at this point and already knew I'd have leftovers, but I wanted to finish every bite if I was able as it truly was perfection. Finally, for my fifth course, I was given the cheesecake which was rich, creamy and delicious. It was just the right size of slice and finished off the meal wonderfully. I could not recommend this place more given the service, friendliness, ambiance, and quality of the dishes. This restaurant is incredibly welcoming, with something for everyone from morning to night. It's well worth a visit!

The staff that was prepping the food order was completely covered in sweat and he kept on touching the green cleaning rag on the cutting board and then prepping someone's food which grossed me out. It look a loooong time to get my order because there was only one guy prepping the food orders - not sure what the other two staff were doing in the back. I don't mind waiting for my food however my order was disgusting. The khao san burrito was way too soggy despite that their burritos are grilled. There was barely any veggies in the burrito itself just some fillers (brown rice). What waste of money.

Obviously, this means the menu carries lots of Veg/an options which is amazing in this quick serve format. They rely on a lot of rice and quinoa, so this will also appeal to those aiming for Gluten Free or Reduced eats. With all this going for it, Freshii stumbles into a very traditional Veg/an trope, that this style of food is bland. No matter what you get, the sauces are afterthoughts and this preparation method doesn't deliver enough of the goods. They need to cook the sauces into the meals or marinate the products previous to order to create depth, delicious delicious flavour depth. The bowls, wraps or basically whatever else also needs more robust salting and unfortunately when I get home I always find myself dousing the food in hot sauce...to be fair I haven't tried the soups. Oh and the rice noodles are tasteless, wallpaper pedestrian. I know that sounds harsh, but maybe someone important will read this and treat the menu to a romp around the flavour dance floor. Don't get me wrong, I'd 100% rather eat here then any burger joint or sub shop. In saying this though, I could easily make any of this food at home, cheaper and in greater quantity.

However, we really enjoy the food and coziness of the room so we have continued to make Henry's one of our regular dining experiences. We were going to make reservations for later this month when I noticed a line on their website saying that a 20% gratuity had been added to the bill. I thought that maybe it was a line that had been added on because of New Year's Eve or at that the prices on the menu now reflected the 20% gratuity and no further tipping would be required. My husband sent an email to Henry's asking them to clarify what the policy was. We received a response from Jasmine "20% will be add on. It does not refer only to groups but also to each individual consumer". Sadly, we will not be going to Henry's anymore. The food is very good but the prices are already very high. We were at a Seasons in the Park last night. Their prices are less than Henry's. The setting is nicer, service was outstanding and food is very bit as good as Henry's.

We walked into the restaurant without any customers. A server seated us right away. Her service was great knowing that it was our first time to eat here and letting us know what was special and what we should try. We ordered mussels with white wine, tomatoes and herbs as appetizers and our main dishes were Penne Alfredo and Linguine Pescatora. Penne Alfredo was just a simple dish of penne with white creamy sauce and Parmesan cheese, but OMG! It was extraordinarily delicious! Chef Henry could cook this simple dish so well that I could 100% guarantee it is hard to find such a good simple dish in Greater Vancouver. Linguine Pescatora was full of seafood (shrimps, mussels, clams, scallops, and calamari) in a light spicy tomato sauce. The seafood was fresh (not frozen ones) and the texture of linguine was firm and chewy. Everything was irresistible. We would love to visit this restaurant and try other dishes in the near future. It was worth a trip to come all the way to Port Moody and eat the pasta here. (This pasta restaurant was originally located in Vancouver West.).
