    Outside Richmond location

    The food aid always good. It's the service that's is okay. This is my third visit and my response is always the same. i keep coming back so what does that tell you.

    Peaceful Beef Rolls, Yum!
    Nicole G.

    I don't go here enough but have dined-in at least 8 times. Their noodles are fab and what they're famous for. Their Peaceful Beef Rolls were amazing when I used to eat meat. Love their Salty Spicy Tofu and their fried rice is always good. We would try a new dish every time we went. Some were so so. I would stick to what they're known for.

    Dan Dan Noodles (made vegan by omitting the pork)

    We've been coming to Peaceful for years, but haven't reviewed this location as we mostly went to the now-closed E. 5th location. We've been to this place twice, and, while great, it doesn't seem as great as our memories of E. 5th. We did a pick-up order, and our order was ready exactly when requested. We got: -Dan Dan Noodles ($11.95 plus tax; made vegan by omitting the pork). I requested blade-shearing noodles, but they gave me hand-cutting noodles which aren't as good. Still, the sauce makes this dish, being peanut, slightly tangy, slightly sweet, with spinach, tofu, and crumbled peanuts. Very tasty and good value for $. 4/5 -Shitake Mushroom & Bok Choy and Tofu ($13.95 plus tax). Pretty standard dish but made well. The mushrooms, bok choy and deep fried tofu are cooked with plenty of garlic and in savoury brown sauce. Very pleasant. 3.5/5 -Potato rolls ($9.95 plus tax). A Peaceful classic, this is always good. You can 4 rolls in an order, with a filling of sliced potato and a smidgeon of hoi sin sauce to sweeten up a tad. Very tasty. 4/5 All in all, maybe not the best Northern / Szechuan Chinese in town, but it's usually pretty good. A good go-to.

    no idea why the ratings are so low, the food was AMAZING. The service might be lacking a little but anything you ask they'll get you. There is a fair amount of people in the restaurant as well, but i cant complain.

    My friend and I were looking for a Chinese restaurant in the area. This place had good reviews so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is on W Broadway, which means you have to pay for metered parking unless you can find a residential spot off the main road. We arrived on Boxing Day a little before 7 pm and the restaurant was pretty empty. We were seated immediately. We shared: Green onion flat bread ($7.95) - really crispy and perfectly salted. Comes with 8 pieces so great for sharing Beef stir fried noodles ($12.95) - I was a big fan of the noodles; they were delicious and had good wok hei (literally 'wok air'). I'm guessing they were made in-house, which was an unexpected plus. I didn't like the beef as much; it was a bit bland and overcooked. I expect soft and tender beef slices when I get any kind of beef noodle dish. Also the whole dish was drowning in oil Xiao long bao aka soup dumplings ($7.95) - okay but there was barely any soup in the dumpling Egg and tomato over rice ($12.95) - I didn't eat too much of this but my friend enjoyed it I like that they mark which dishes can be made vegetarian on their menu. For a Chinese restaurant, they're relatively vegetarian friendly.

    Looks really ghetto outside but it's actually quite nice inside. It's not very big but clean. We sat a bit before a server finally came by. Their menu is pretty good, lots of noodle options as well as rice dishes. I love how there are traditional dishes from different regions of China. I was so homesick looking at all the different 'small bites'. Braised beef hand pulled noodle soup 红烧牛肉手拉面 - Very flavorful broth and tender juicy beef chunks. Lots of noodles cooked a bit on the al dente side. Overall very good taste. Beef rolls 牛肉转并 - I loved this!! So crispy on the outside with tasty tender slices of beef on the inside. Reminds me of the scallion pancake wraps I would get from street vendors. Soup dumplings 小笼包 - Not quite the same as NY or Shanghai but still hits home for me. There's plenty of soup inside and the outside skin was thin with a big meatball inside. Decent.

    One might think 'Peaceful', what kind of a name is that? Well, if I had to guess, it's the feeling you have after your belly is full and mouth satisfied from a meal here. This was the original location (Correct me, if I am wrong), and I've re-visited with big gaps in-between. I've been to a few of their other locations as well, and I think this one still holds the crown as the best of the lot. Personally, I have never regretted eating here. Their lunch special doesn't do it justice. You must visit in a larger group and order from the menu. This kind of food is made for communal eating. Ordering individually is a lost cause. The portions are big, and you'll be stuck savouring the same flavour. That's not how it is meant to be enjoyed. So, gather up your friends, and get comfortable. You won't be leaving here hungry.

    I've been eating here for several years, and I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Our latest trip brought outstanding food (as usual) and was pleasant. Two things keep me from going to five stars on this place that I love. First, it's a small and crowded space. As in the two men who talked (shouted?) non-stop on my left elbow while we were there--to the point that it was noticeably quieter when they left. And as in the two women on my right elbow who were having a deeply private discussion about how horrible the one's divorce was while the other was giving new-age relationship and marriage tips to her, all with no privacy in a conversation that just wasn't right for the venue. Second, they really need to work on cleanliness--especially in the grossly dirty bathrooms. But the food here is amazing and worth putting up with the other issues. Get a table in the front section if you can. It has a little less crowded feel than the tables on the side wall. We'll be back (again and again). Have been for years.

    One of our must go to restaurants in Canada. Everything was so tasty & cheap! Their xlb & noodles were excellent. Service was good & fast. I just wish they were here in WA.

    Food is delicious, although the location itself is a bit run down. Washrooms are a bit dirty, but otherwise the staff and service is great. Lots of good dishes to try, including their beef rolls and Dan Dan noodles. Meat dishes are all stellar as well. Located nearby the Broadway City Hall Canada Line stop, with some meter parking nearby and in front of the location.

    The best comfort Chinese takeout ever. Peaceful restaurant is where it's at!! I ordered the chilli dumplings, spicy garlic beef and Dan Dan noodles. All soooo good as per usual. I also highly recommend the beef rolls!!

Service: It kind of feels like a cafeteria, and like I previously mentioned it's similar to what I've had in Japan. It's really quick and efficient which is nice. Ambiance: Casual, and clean as well. Not too loud. But definitely better than a fast food place. For this kind of place, it's as good as it gets. 4 stars - extremely solid and reliable place, it's just not a 5 stars for me because it doesn't blow my mind or anything.

    Stopped by Maruhachi on a Saturday lunchtime after our long commute from Seattle. this restaurant…read moreis tucked in a corner not too far from the main Robson street. Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

The gentleman (owner?) greeted us and provided us with some suggestions on their best sellers. During our dining experience, he was a little loud with shouting instructions to the kitchen and we did feel a bit rushed to finish our meal and not occupy the table with diners lining up. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the noodles were prepared well (good texture and not soggy) and the soup had a slight but not overwhelm sour taste from the preserved vegetables. The beef wasn't as tender as it could be, but it wasn't chewy or tough to eat. Prices are reasonable at around $20 after tax and tips. While it wasn't the best or most authentic beef noodle soup I've had, it does hit the spot if I'm craving Taiwanese food downtown or want a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold day.

I think most people do that so it also gets filled up during the lunch hour rush. The food is ok, nothing special. The price increase makes it even less appealing. I don't know why there is chili in my Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I don't like spicy soup. Lucky I am ok with spice but I wish it is stated in the menu? So if you cannot take spicy food, check with them before ordering. The beef noodle soup is tasty as I do like the addition of pickled vegetables in it, giving a bit of tartness. The beef is tender though the quantity is very little. More noodles than meat ratio. The combo is totally not worth it now that the price has gone up to about $13. If you want rice and noodle for lunch, I think Peaceful Restaurant across the street is a better bet. At least the portion is bigger.
