All delicious, homey and the best way to represent Japanese Western fusion! The place itself is quite small and only seats when your entire party is there. The service is friendly and genuine.

Let me be blunt: after years of dining across Vancouver, this was not just the worst meal I've had…read moresince moving here--it was a downright insult to my palate, my patience, and my basic human dignity. It started the moment we were seated. Not two minutes in, a surly elderly woman--who I can only describe as the restaurant's self-appointed warden--barked at us to get up and move tables like we were misbehaving schoolchildren. No apology, no explanation. Just pure, unvarnished hostility. We complied, stunned, but the humiliation was only the appetizer. Then came the food, which somehow managed to be even more offensive than the service. Potato croquette (1/5): A greasy, dense brick of despair. The outer shell was so tough and leathery I legitimately struggled to saw through it with my knife. Chewing it was a workout I didn't sign up for. I forced down a quarter before giving up; my friend described it as "eating fried shoe leather," and she wasn't exaggerating. Pork katsu: Dry, stringy, and utterly devoid of juiciness. For a dish that should be crispy and tender, this was a sad, tough slab of over-fried gristle. The pasta on the side was the only redeeming bite on the entire table--and that's faint praise when the star of the plate is a complete failure. Curry steak: Absolutely forgettable. Bland, watery, and uninspired--the kind of dish you'd expect from a frozen TV dinner, not a restaurant that dares to charge real money. But here's where it goes from disappointing to outright repulsive. As I walked to the register to pay--already fuming--that same elderly harpy screamed at me to stand outside. Not asked. Yelled. In front of other diners. As if I were a stray dog contaminating her precious floor. I am a remarkably patient person. I've swallowed bad meals and rude servers without a word. But this wasn't rudeness--this was targeted, xenophobic aggression. I don't throw the word "racist" around lightly, but her vitriol was aimed squarely at us based on nothing but our faces. There is no other explanation for such disproportionate, venomous treatment. Let me be crystal clear: I will never--never--set foot in this establishment again. Not for free food, not if I were starving. The food is mediocre at best and repulsive at worst, but the service is outright abusive. Vancouver has too many incredible restaurants to waste a single dollar on a place that serves tough, tasteless garbage with a side of bigotry. Do yourself a favor: save your money, save your self-respect, and eat literally anywhere else. This place doesn't deserve your business--or your presence.

They were all very tasty. The portion sizes were good and the prices were comparable to other Chinese style cafes. The service was friendly as well. There is pay parking on Fraser and some side streets unless you wanna walk a little further, then you can find some free parking. Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience. If I'm in the area I'll be back for sure.......

I tried fried oyster mushrooms they were delicious and went well with all the side garnishing. The black garlic eggplant is something new to try and went with rice and salad. It has fried tofu too which was nicely cooked too. Quantity and portion size is justified for the price. Overall a great Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsway. Will-definitely go back and highly recommend this place!

As the weather gets warmer, I am craving something fresh and refreshing. After browsing the menu, I…read morewas convinced the mango salad was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't have side dishes, so I ended up ordering the lemongrass vermicelli along with a guava juice instead. The guava juice was a bit of a surprise--not quite the freshly made tropical drink I had imagined. It turned out to be the same bottled guava juice you can easily find at the grocery store, just served in a glass and at restaurant prices. Then my lemongrass vermicelli arrived, and the server warned me to be careful because it was very hot. That definitely caught me off guard! When I think of vermicelli bowls, I picture cool noodles, crisp vegetables, fragrant herbs, and a refreshing meal perfect for a sunny day. This version was served piping hot, making it feel more comforting than refreshing. That said, the dish was still packed with flavour. The fragrant lemongrass aroma filled the bowl, the vegetables added plenty of texture, and the savoury components came together nicely. It just wasn't the light, cooling meal I had originally set my heart on when I walked in, dreaming about mango salad on a warm day.

This used to be a Taiwanese restaurant and that is now gone. It is a fusion Vietnamese restaurant…read morethat has some pretty interesting options on the menu. I got the Pandan Coconut milk to start and B got the 33 acre beer. The pandan coconut milk was not bad but I think I should have ordered a Thai milk tea or something else instead. I heard their Thai milktea and Vietnamese coffee is really good. For entree I got the lemongrass chicken vermicelli and that was very delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. It was juicy and flavorful. B got the Pho Bo. He said it was delicious. I tried some of his soup and OMG that soup was really good. Service was good. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. I would definitely go back. I think next time I come back I would order a bunch of appetizers or share plate instead or something that is unique.

New Filipino gig in lower mainland, small place approximately houses 15 heads the whole eatery…read more Mostly Filipino customers lining up. I went here with a friend to try, well not bad actually, the carrying product is Lechong Cebu,a rosted pork. There are only few dishes in the menu,the server claimed they are coming soon. they also do catering service thats what the waitor told us. we wish to have a bulalo its a beef soup but sold out that day, so since we were already here and our cravings for this day is Filipino cuisine we ordered other availble dishes. First one is the pork sisig, it was good,we both dont eat liver so we asked the server to exclude it.oh how i missed home(Philippines) on first bite of the sisig,it was delish,the flavor of the spices,the lemon and the egg while it was smoking hot on a sizzling plate,very good. we ordered appetizer includes 2 Pork bbq, 2 feep fried spring rolls(lumpiang shanghai),and 3 pcs of chicken wings well i would say they were ordinary taste,we also got the beef caldereta,hmmmmm....another ordinary taste.plus we had the garlic rice and hot water with lemon. I am not sure if the dishes were pre-cooked. We havent try the carrying dish which is the lechon Cebu,for sure if we will come back thats the one we will going to order. Very small place,crews are bi-lingual and very friendly,you know friendliness is one of the best trait of Filipinos. They also sell some chicken skin chicharon and ube pandesal. Pricing is just okay,you pay for what you wil get. Theres no TV, but theres music playing while we were there.Wash room is available.(Needs a lot of make over and improvement with the interior design.) If am not mistaken this place is a bubble tea gig before,As per friends news it was sold. Wifi now is all over the city so i dont think that would be an issue. Parking is metered one unless you wish to park in some residential area and you will just do some waking...sometimes serious walking because it can be far. Most clients that day came for pick up orders..a lot of them so i feel that this place has a huge potential to bloom. Noise level is average and nothing i can say on the interior design because theres nothing at all, like i said it"s pretty new place. Good for small group and kids friendly. Im wishing the owner the best of luck...i hope they should incorporate more Filipino dishes in their menu. Accept credit and debit card and cash as well

If…read moreyou go to pickup, their phone number is in the commissionary kitchen's door and when you call up, they will give you the code to get in and pickup your food from the table just inside. You literally see no one. So far, my favorite is their Chirashi Bowl ($23.98) with their fresh sashimi and decent size portions. You can also Choose-Your-Favorite Combo ($19.99) that gives you a choice of Bowl (not the Chirashi though) and choice of 8pc Roll. I like their Unagi Crab Roll, its like a California Roll with Unagi on top. Their entrees that comes with the combos have tasted very bland to me though. I've tried the Scallop Risotto which did not have a rich/fragrant flavor I like in my risottos so I found this super bland. And recently I tried their Beef Rib Bowl which looked more like a Beef Tongue Bowl (there was no bone and it was super tender) and again, was on the underseasoned side. But it WAS super filling so their portion sizes again are good.

Our group was big enough that we ordered two sets, one with lobster and one with crab. The dishes were excellent for the price. Service was really good.

The restaurant is clean and spacious plus very conveniently located. The sauce bar had fruit and plum juice, which was a nice bonus. I got the chicken soup base and it was pretty good. I think it could have been a bit more flavourful. Also, food took a while, and I noticed that they had chopped up my veggies before cooking. While it wasn't a ridiculously long wait, it did take a while despite there not being many customers. I do feel like the service and ambiance was lacking a bit. While I was there a bit later in the evening around 8pm, one of the workers started vacuuming, and from reviews it seems like they do free ice cream but I was never offered or made aware. I'm not sure I would come back since there are better options in Richmond. Other fast food malatang spots have better service, consistency, and speed. Not to mention this spot is actually more expensive than Big Way at $19.90/lb!
