We were able to grab a table for 2 around 8pm, which is great given how busy this place usually is. We ordered the following: Chicken Skewers: Decently grilled with a the meat juicy and tender meat. The nice peanut sauce hit the spot! Seafood laksa: Full of deep rich flavours, this also really hit the spot especially on a cold and rainy night. The mix noodles had a nice chew and there were lots of tofu, seafood, and a full boiled egg (cut in half). Definitely a solid bowl of laksa! Fried Noodles: A great comfort dish. The noodles were springy and well-seasoned, with plenty of toppings mixed in. Not greasy, which I really appreciated, and the portion was generous. Roti: Comes with a thin curry sauce and served with sugar on the side. The roti is super buttery, soft, and flakey. One of the best roti's in the city! The curry sauce is too thin for my liking but decent flavours. Overall, the service is prompt but no frills. The food speaks for itself and is tasty at good portions at decent prices.

John 3:16 is one of my favorite restaurants in town. Their satay chicken always hits the spot. It…read moreis difficult to find a good satay here in Metro Vancouver that the meat itself is flavorful with good meat texture, and the satay sauce is balanced. Their CHAR KOAY TEOW is good too - it is chewy and not greasy. It's my first time trying the BBQ ribs. The meat is tender and so well seasoned. I'll order the dish again. Service and cleanliness is normal. I like that they let us have hot tea instead of water for free. The parking lot at the back alley has quite a lot of spots so it is easy to find a spot. I am excited they're opening in Burnaby soon. Hopefully the food quality in the new location would be as good as the one in Richmond.

They are pretty well known for their lobster laksa, which is $19 on its own. We ended getting the combo that included curry chicken rice, curry fish balls, roti, a soda and a milk tea for $39. The fish balls and curry chicken rice were pretty standard. The chicken has a slight spiciness to it. They do give plenty of rice. Now for the star attraction, the lobster laksa comes with a whole lobster tail. It's a pretty small lobster tail that was a bit salty. Certainly not the best lobster tail I've ever had, but at this price point it's rare to get a lobster tail. The laksa itself was quite good. Really like the soup, which as not super thick but it was creamy, sweet and flavorful. Noodles and the fish cake inside were decent. Overall, it's a good amount of food and decent deal for the price.

It came with 4 prawns, a small sliced boiled egg, some tofu(?) thingy and bean sprouts. The noodle consists of a mix of vermicelli and round noodles. The major disappointment was that the soup was neither thick nor flavorful. It was watery and as if the vendor cheaped out on adding a teeny bit more sauce. Also, the portion was not very generous. Usually when i order from other restaurants and vendors, the dish would come with other toppings such as fish balls and tofu puff, plus the portion was a bit more. This was my third time trying this vendor after a long time as i was also not impressed by previous visits. I don't think I'll ever go back again. This is more of a 2.5 stars experience.

I recommend that you come right when they open otherwise, be prepared to line up for awhile. We arrived at 1125 ish and lined up for about half an hour. Then waited for another 15 minutes for our food. Malay roasted chicken on rice - this one is essentially your yummy hainanese chicken but roasted and has their special garlicky sauce on the chicken. It also comes with a sweet and sour sauce on the side as well as a soup. The rice was the chicken oil rice and was delicious. The beef rendang we really liked although the meat would have been a little more tender. Nonetheless, it was very flavorful and not too salty. The sauce was good and I love soaking my rice in the sauce. As it was their soft opening, all entrees came with a free drink. They were out of the Tarik milk tea so we got cold coffee and Milo and asked for no ice. They said it'll be slightly warm and we said ok. However, they both came with ice so we had to scoop it out ourselves. We'll definitely be back the coming weekend to try more items and take advantage of the free drinks.

The heat from the spice, curry leaves and work hey was the best I've had in Washington and BC. Taro ring- so crispy and satiating. The taro is very flavorful and a great combination with the squid, shrimp and other savory goodies in the middle of the taro ring. Asam laksa- Penang style chewy noodle soup in super savory and umami fish broth with tamarind, pineapple and shrimp paste. Such a beautiful balance of slightly spicy, sour, and sweet broth. Yum!

My friend and I shared the Satay Chicken Skewers (~$12, the staff recommended this and I can see why!) as well as a Kari Laksa (~$17). It was the perfect amount for us and I was blown away by the chicken skewers, they came with a peanutty lemongrass paste that really enhanced their flavour as well as some onions and cucumber for freshness. The Kari Laksa came with a decent amount of toppings (fishcake, seafood and meat, egg) and you can also customize which noodle you'd like; the broth was light and coconutty but it wasn't anything special hence the 4.5. Overall still a favourite of mine
