    Jazzve (Armenian/Turkish) coffee
    Lucine O.

    I loved Lamajoun. Visiting from LA, I planned well in advance to come to this establishment and support. The food was really good. I liked that the zhangyalov bread was mostly herbs and not dough; they did a great job using a thinner layer of bread. The grilled veggies were fresh, loved the eggplant, and the lavash hit the spot. It's hard to find legitimate lavash when traveling. And of course, no meal is complete without some coffee. The owners were amazing: kind, friendly, and hospitable and the venue relaxing. I recommend highly.

    Ahhh I'm so glad I finally got to try this hidden gem in the industrial area in Richmond! This café is quite difficult to spot and unassuming but it packs the story of a wonderful Armenian family who cooks with their souls and provides heartwarming food for its patrons. As someone who eats East Asian food all the time, my goal for this upcoming year is to try more variety of food from different countries. My friend and I came by on a weekday for lunch and made a few choices based on the owner's recommendations. We picked the lamb soup and chicken thigh BBQ - the owner was kind in letting us know that the chicken was prepared to order and would take a little longer than usual. There is additional seating upstairs and the food arrives through a super cool elevator chute! I generally dislike lamb but to my surprise, the lamb soup was fragrant and hearty. My friend loved the soup and said it was the type that cures colds and is perfect for warming you up on a cold fall day. The soup was also packed with chickpeas, potatoes, and pieces of lamb. The chicken BBQ was a generous portion of well-seasoned chicken in the house-made lavash bread. I liked the pickled peppers and the tzatziki sauce. The chicken was flavourful and tasted tender and fresh. Overall, this was a lovely experience and I found the food hearty and healthy. I would love to return!

    We came on a Saturday at 2pm and there were a few empty tables. We got a couple of items to share. The food took awhile to arrive by elevator. Be warned it can get quite hot upstairs. Our favourite was the pide cheese. It was the most visually appealing and also tasted the best. Loved the bread and the cheese combo. Doesn't get better than that. The other ones we tried all tasted similar to it. I would skip the beef wrap and the pizza and just stick with the pide cheese We also tried the napoleon and it isn't your standard puff pastry napoleon. It wasn't crispy but it was still made with layered pastry and custard. Not my cup of tea Overall service was super friendly. Food wise it maybe just didn't suit us. I would say just try the pide cheese or the pide beef if you eat meat. Wouldn't make the trek out to this industrial area just to have it. But if you are at IKEA, it's not a bad place to stop by and try it

    After a trip to Georgia and Armenia I was missing the food and was amazed to discover this little place hidden in an industrial park in North Richmond. Delicious food and authentic. Not the quickest but worth the wait. There is a dining area upstairs (the food comes to you self serve via a little elevator!) but it was quite smoky and hot there, so they also have tables outside which I preferred. Recommended!

    Lamajoun is definitely a hidden gem in Richmond for Armenian food. It is perfect for a quick bite while biking the dyke. In nice weather I do take out and sit along the dyke to eat. Of course if you drive, there is plenty of parking right outside the restaurant. This was my first time dining in and I was surprised by how homey and convenient it was! You order downstairs, then are provided with a number to bring upstairs to the self- serve dining area. There are cups and a water station to pour hot/cold water, cart for finished dishes, single stall washroom, and plenty of tables which fit 2-8 people each. Interestingly, there is also a foozball table, some board games, and a pottery studio (they had some signage offering classes, and also sell their ceramics). When your food is ready, a speaker and sign state the order number and a window upstairs automatically open to grab your food from an elevator chute. It is super cool, even just dining in to see their contraption is worth it! All the food was fresh and flavourful. Despite using similar ingredients of beef and bread in all the items we ordered, each dish had a distinct flavour. The pide and the bread that accompanied the lamb soup were amazingly fluffy. The lamb soup itself was so hearty with a heavy lamb flavour. It was filled with chickpeas, potato, and a good amount of lamb. The kebab wrap can be ordered with a single or double kebab inside the wrap. I felt the single was a perfect ratio of filling:wrap. The cheburek filling tasted almost like a Chinese xiaolongbao because of how moist and umami it was. Very interesting and will become one of my new go-to menu items! Lamajoun pizza was spiced and a bit tangy from the tomato. A great experience being able to try so many different foods with no frills.

    Tl;dr truly a hidden gem This place is off the beaten path and my friends and I even wondered if we were at the right place. Fortunately we were and we ordered the chicken bbq with red pepper and dumplings. The food took around 15-20 minutes but it was because they were making everything fresh for us. They had a cool dumbwaiter system to bring the food to the seating area in the second floor. The food was absolutely amazing. So fresh and flavorful. Watching the bread be baked fresh was amazing and made for an excellent meal.

    I've never had Armenian food before and I was quite excited to try. The restaurant is located in a very industrial side of Richmond. Upon arriving, I was dismayed to discover how big of a jump in menu price there is from 8 months ago (Google pictures). I'm thinking they probably increased the prices after they became more popular, since the premise did get year's top 100 certificate. However, we still proceeded to order a variety of items. Jazzve coffee - Armenian coffee and boy it was only a tad bit bigger than an espresso and they charged $3.99. It essentially tasted like brew coffee with a bit of sugar. Nothing special and there was even coffee ground at the bottom of the cup which rendered the coffee undrinkable. Pide basturma - this one saw an increase from $11.99 to $16.99! It was delicious but totally not worth the price, in my opinion. It was basically bread, an egg, cheese and cured beef. Lamajoun pizza - their version of pizza with beef on top. In the menu, the pizza had a lot more toppings than reality. Jingle bread - this reminded me of spanakopita and it was delicious. The chicken thigh bbq - this one increased from $12.99 to $16.99. The chicken dish came with 5 pieces of meat, some veggies and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. We peeled off a bit of the lavash bread to wrap it around the chicken and some veggies, kinda like eating fajita. Don't forget their yogurt sauce which was amazing. Overall, it was delicious but not worth the 16.99 for what the dish came with. Dumpling - we ordered one just to try but I prefer the Chinese XLB better lol. I deducted 2 stars due to the price jump. Usually, we see vendors increasing prices bit by bit... I've never seen one where dishes increased by $4-5!! Had they remain at the prices 8 months ago or increased by a little, I would have given them a higher rating. Regardless, I had a wonderful journey experiencing Armenian food.

    Excellent food, with a "rustic" parking lot setting in an industrial park... we ate the Pide and beef kebab wrap at a picnic table in the parking lot and took the jumbo dumplings, borscht and jingle bread home for dinner later that evening. I didn't know how to prepare the dumplings so found some instructions online and winged it. I reheated the jingle bread (reminded us of the stuffed "dim sum" type dishes from Northern China) in the toaster oven, and heated up the borscht on the stovetop. I have to say that everything tasted really fresh and delicious - definitely worth a detour to check it out!

    I regret not discovering this hidden gem earlier!! We have ordered dolma, khachapuri, lamb bbq and Khinkali dumplings and were beyond satisfied not only with taste, but with exceptional service from the their team. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. My mom is from middle eastern descent and I have certain standards when it comes to this type of cuisine as she is an exceptional cook and Lamajoun certainly did not disappoint. We have also ordered Lavash bread to go - must try!! (Great with anything - cheese, veggies, meats..) Regret not taking more photos, but, the food tasted so good that it was gone before I knew it! Thank you!

    Medovik (Honey Cake)
    Vic Y.

    Finally got to try this page recently from a friend's suggestion. Verdict? It's amazing value, the service is friendly, and the food is delicious. What else do you need? My group tried the beef pide, cheese pide, beef lamajoun and medovik (honey cake). The bread in the pides were both pillowy soft like you would not believe. I wish bakeries would make bread like this, it was phenomenal. The cheese and beef fillings for everything were also very flavourful, and for the beef pide they were incredibly generous- see my picture with a cross section of the crust. As for the cake? I can't even. It's a soft, subtly sweet thing of beauty. To top it off, we were also brought samples of some lovely cured meats. Basically you need to eat here!

    Vegan Shoku - Vegan Salmon ... unbelievable in flavour

    Wow! First of all, vegan sushi spots are still an uncommon find so the fact this exists is such a…read moretreat. In the Bay Area we have Shizen/Tane and which I can safely say are still pretty different from Vegan Shoku. (Both are so good!!). Vegan Shoku uses konjac-based sashimi which allows for sashimi and nigiri that looks like its conventional fish counterparts. Today, we ordered 1. Salmon Eggplant This reminded me of nasu dengaku but with a "salmon salad" (think tuna salad) on top of charred eggplant. There was a miso sauce, the same that's used for nasu dengaku dressing the entire thing. The eggplant was creamy but not oil-laden, and the salmon worked nicely with the eggplant and miso dressing. Every bite was perfection. Each bite was garnished with fried carrot strings and beet. Sooooo good! 2. Shoku Roll We figured we should definitely order this since it's the restaurant's namesake. Since it was topped with mango & a popping boba, it had a hint of sweetness which was refreshing. 3. Dynamite Roll Absolutely gorgeous roll that packed as much flavor as it did color. The sweet, savory, creamy and crunchy.... this roll takes you on a journey and more! 4. Teriyaki Beef Roll Don't ask questions, just order this! It's like a beef donburi in roll form. 5. Salmon Nigiri I've never been a fan of seafood so this was a bit of a risky pick. Sure enough, it was too realistic for me so I had to hand it off to my bf to finish. For those who love and miss the taste of salmon, this is a must try! 6. Takoyaki While this looked like takoyaki, it definitely wasn't. They were still tasty but they were more like meatballs than anything. Takoyaki is supposed to have chunks of octopus (which when I make it at home, I use konyaku), shredded cabbage, ginger in a savory pancake-like batter cooked in a ball-shaped cast iron mold, topped with aonori, mayo and brown sauce. The meatballs were in a brown sauce of some kind and were incredibly robust and meaty. They were too meaty for my liking (some mock meats sort of gross me out!) but that's more of a preference thing and doesn't speak to the quality. It was very flavorful, it just wasn't for me. 7. Matcha Ice cream The ice cream looked like it was slice from a cake! Maybe they peeled back the paper carton of the ice cream and cut a slice from that. It looked super surgical and clean, like art! The flavor was super robust and matcha-y. It was not the typical (disappointing) green-colored ice cream that tasted mostly of vanilla and had hints of match. This was the real deal! What a rare find! It extremely pricey but it more than made up for all the times I've ordered green-colored matcha imposter ice creams, so get this if you are a matcha lover! Being how uncommon these types of restaurants are, the server was super patient in answering my questions and was helpful in making suggestions too. If I find myself in BC in the future, you can bet I'll be making another stop in here to try other items on their menu. This was such a treat!!

    I had been wanting to try this place out for ages and finally managed to get there. I had a Plant…read moreCurious BOGO deal too so I was able to use that for a couple of Oshi sushi orders.  The food wasn't bad but honestly not as good as I had hoped. I think there was a bit too much rice used in the sushi. Smaller amounts of rice would have been preferred. Also, we found that the Salmon Avocado Oshi tasted just like the Tuna Avocado Oshi. Either that, or they gave us two identical sushi orders by mistake instead of 1 Salmon Avocado Oshi and 1 Tuna Avocado Oshi. I was kinda bummed that they didn't have their vegan spam that day. Hoping to go back some other day and try it. If it weren't for the vegan spam though, I probably wouldn't bother coming back to this restaurant again. Pains me to say that as I'm usually a huge supporter of plant based restaurants but...this restaurant was really just OK for me. Not horrible, but aside from wanting to try their vegan spam...the food just wasn't good enough for me to want to come back again.

Ok ok, what's better than driving to Canada to eat vegan food, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food while meeting new vegan friends! We decided to meet up at Mila Plant-Based, 100% vegan restaurant in the downtown area sort of right in-between Downtown Eastside, Science World, and Gastown. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint ambiance, feels very welcoming upon entering. The bathroom was .. well, posh! I don't normally make a point to comment on bathroom decor, while average in size, I felt like I was being upgraded to First Class lol. Ok, moving right along .. lol They have two menus, a Weekend Brunch Menu and, for all other hours, a Lunch/Dinner Menu, ..we ordered from the Weekend Brunch Menu. I had the Bibimbap Bowl - rice bowl with Yo Egg, mushroom bacon, kimchi, tempura yam, cucumber, carrot, gochujang sauce. This bowl had many layers of unique flavors all married perfectly in every exquisite bite, I say this very sincerely! My wife ordered the Pina Colada Pancakes - pancakes, toasted coconut syrup, cashews, cocktail cherries, rum-candied pineapple, mint. Each bite easily lived up to the the decadence displayed in the included image. We absolutely have to find our way back to Mila to try their Lunch/Dinner menu as it includes some amazing sounding options such as, Feta Stuffed Date - date, feta, pistachio, olive oil, maldon salt, ABURI LOX OSHI - carrot lox, aburi sauce, shiso, serrano, 6 pieces, Tuna Crispy Rice - watermelon akami tuna, sushi rice, lime kewpie mayo, green onion, sesame seeds, 3 pieces, and much more. We had quite a few options to choose from regarding where to meet for brunch, with every option sounding wonderful in their own way.

I got the Bao, Tostada, Crispy rice and one more piece of sushi to try. The server was kind and recommended all of the dishes I ordered. There was nothing I would not want to taste for a second time! The restaurant was decorated nicely, but nothing remarkable so I was surprised by the presentation of the food!

    Chapeau to the folks at Folke! First timers at Folke and we were blown away by not only the…read moreincredible food, but also the wonderful service. A big thank you to Mallory and the kitchen staff! This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

    Yum yum YUM!! We are not vegan but we loved every single thing we tried!…read more The bread was phenomenal and perfectly crusted and fluffy. The beet tartare was great with the hazelnuts. Broccoli and zucchini had such amazing sauces on them and OMG spaghettini was phenomenal. MUST order Service was pleasant and quick! They helped with suggestions and I appreciated the explanation when each dish came out. Lovely space inside and had a nice little corner to carry on lovely conversation. Would go back again -- and soon! They change their menu every few weeks.
