I chose milk tea and the taste is good. It's hk milk tea but the taste is lighter than other places. Somehow, I manage to eat everything, but it's definitely good for two people to share as well. Overall, it's great to eat on a budget and if you don't need that much food, the all day breakfast might be a better option.

BT Cafe 大拇指餐廳 Review Location: 920 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC…read more位置： 溫哥華京士威道 920 號 (English version) BT Cafe is a delightful neighbourhood gem located on Kingsway. The standout for me was definitely their Sweet and Sour Pork--the sauce is impeccably balanced, perfectly capturing that nostalgic, classic flavor that's hard to find these days. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. While the ambiance is cozy and warm, I did notice that the high backs of the booths can be a bit wobbly/unstable, which is something to keep in mind if you're looking for extra back support. Overall, a great spot for a comforting meal! 繁體中文] 位於溫哥華京士威道 (Kingsway) 的大拇指餐廳 (BT Cafe) 是間非常討喜的鄰里餐館。他們家的咕嚕肉絕對是必點，那種咕嚕汁調配得非常地道，酸甜平衡得剛剛好，充滿了讓人懷念的經典風味。店員服務態度親切，讓人感到賓至如歸。餐廳整體的氛圍溫馨舒適，不過值得留意的是，部分卡座的椅背稍微有些晃動，若對座椅穩定度有要求的話可能要注意一下。總體而言，這是一個享受暖心餐點的好地方！

Friends recommended this Hong Kong-style café on Kingsway, saying it offers better value in terms…read moreof portion size and pricing compared with many other cha chaan teng-style restaurants in Vancouver. We decided to give it a try one weekday afternoon. The seating is quite tight. For a party of two, we were seated along the wall with a small table and chairs facing each other, while the other side has a few cubicles more suitable for groups of four. The menu is extensive--perhaps even overwhelming--with many choices, so I would suggest looking at their menu online beforehand. We ordered from the afternoon tea menu: baked pork chop on rice and beef on rice noodles. Hong Kong-style coffee or tea was included, and each dish was around $16. The portions were generous, and both dishes were tasty. From a food and value perspective, we were satisfied. Unfortunately, our final experience at the cashier left us disappointed. The bill came to $32 before tax ($33.81 after tax). I paid $35 cash and told the cashier to keep the change. Instead of simply accepting it, she told me that the restaurant expected a minimum 10% gratuity. I found this uncomfortable and unprofessional. I understand tipping is customary in Vancouver, and I normally tip according to the service provided, but customers should not feel pressured or told that a minimum tip is required unless it is clearly posted as a restaurant policy. The service itself was perfectly adequate, but nothing beyond the usual ordering and serving of food. There was no extra attention or special effort that would justify being approached about a minimum gratuity after payment. Also, since the restaurant accepts cash only, it would be helpful to have a clear "Cash Only" notice displayed at the entrance so customers are aware before dining. To be clear, this review is not about the food quality or pricing. The food was good, and the value was actually one of the restaurant's strengths. My disappointment comes entirely from the way the gratuity issue was handled at the cashier. A good dining experience should include not only good food, but also a professional and respectful final interaction with customers.

This veteran Hong Kong café in Vancouver was one of my regular spots over ten years ago. Under new…read moremanagement and a new name, the menu remains largely similar and food is still alright. The chicken noodles have wonderfully tender, flavourful chicken paired with mediocre noodles. The satay beef rice noodles were plain; its preparation differs greatly from authentic Hong Kong style. The chicken steak sandwich and fried egg were decent. The overall quality has slightly dropped from before. My main gripe is the $2 surcharge for ice in drinks, which feels unfair. Worth a stop if you're nearby, but not worthy of a special trip.

Was convinced to try this, so dropped by on a week night for dinner…read more As this is a university dining hall, it will mostly be filled with students. Service was very meh , as it is buffet style, you don't really interact with anyone, aside from the few stations where it is made to order (like the sandwiches) I'm not seeing the "huge/wide" variety that people speak of, it felt very minimal and lacking. Flavours were seriously lacking, nearly everything was so bland. Servings at the made to order stations were measured out, you can't ask for bigger portion, you would need to double up/order again if you wanted more. This was a 1 star for me , gave it a second as the sandwich was pretty good when fresh off the press with the melty cheese and crisp bread. Will not re-visit unfortunately.

We've been back several times already to this place. It's been awhile since our last visit though…read more The selection here never fails to amaze me. Especially considering that it's for students! The Teppanyaki grill wasn't open this time. It seemed like they were doing French Toast there instead. That was something different. I was too full from all the other food I had taken to try French Toast. If I see it again sometime maybe I might give it a try. They had a taco station this time. I put cooked mushrooms, tomatoes, salsa and sour cream into my taco shell. Loved the mini tofu donburis. Word of advice: If you get a sandwich from the sandwich station and especially if you opt for cranberry sourdough bread, make sure you have someone to share the sandwich with you. It's huge! If you don't have someone to share with you, then I'd advise that you come prepared with a bento box or some other kind of take out bag or container that you could carry leftovers in. The sandwich is huge and will fill up a lot of space in your stomach. And well...it's buffet. You wanna leave that space open so you can try more different things! All the other visits the flavors of soft serve were always vanilla and chocolate. This time they had vanilla and lemon mint! I was really excited to see that. Great to know that they switch up the flavors once in awhile.

We couldn't see the sign at first, then my husband saw an "open" sign and we walked in. What we heard others say "Yasir" turned and was cheerful and handed us a bite of fresh chicken he had cooked. This is a one man show, it seems. And the delightfulness alone would have you coming back. But one by one people walked in, knew his name and asked for the soups (on a particularly warm day). We had the chicken and the doner and our tummies were full and satiated. Finished it off with a cookie and we were back on the road to traffic. All said and done, this place was a hidden gem to the passerby, but a known gem to the neighborhood, we suspect.

Low key mom and pop (mother and son?) Korean/western cafe and diner on Heather, just S of Broadway…read more Parking is quite horrendous here. Might find something on the side streets. The interior is pretty dated and bare bones. Staff were very friendly. The mom doesn't really speak English. Had to point and use gestures. But I got my order in. The beef bulgogi was nice and tasty. Basically it's home style cooking, so don't expect anything fancy such as a stone bowl. Basically a pile of beef and a portion of rice, with a side of salad. My only complaint is that the portion size was a bit small. Maybe I'll come back for a sandwich at some point.
