Overall: 3.5/5 This was a last-minute family dinner, and…read morewith such a large group, Royal Palace had the seating capacity to comfortably host us. With about 9-10 people per table, we were treated to what felt like at least ten courses. There wasn't much time for photos, as conversation and catching up naturally took precedence. The standouts were the seafood fried rice and the green onion lobster and crab stir-fry -- rich, comforting, and generously flavoured, the kind of dishes that quietly anchor a long meal. It was a busy holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed. Our original 7:00 p.m. reservation was delayed until 8:00 p.m., leaving many of us waiting outside in the cold. Once seated, the pacing felt off, with dishes arriving out of sequence, which gave the meal an oddly disjointed rhythm. A small apology or update from the staff would have been welcome, but none came. Overall, the food was very tasty, and I would consider returning -- particularly to explore more of their seafood offerings.

First time coming here as we were nearby on a Monday morning…read more Dimsum apparently is 10% off all the time? Only the dimsum part and not the specials. Phoenix claws - wow the portion is generous. And only the claw part so it's even more. Taste is done well. Soy sauce stir fried crystal noodles - I knew I wouldnt enjoy it because the term soy sauce stir fry noodles only have beansprouts and minimal things. It has red onions, green onions and bean sprouts. Taste is as good as a soy sauce stir fry gets haha. I didn't like that some noodles were still giant rolls and they didn't undo them. This means more bland noodles. Pan fried bean curd wrap - this is the first time seeing it in this form. Usually its a smaller in side and individually rolled. They rolled a giant one and cut them in half diagonally. This makes all the filling fall out. I like that they put a lot of mushrooms in it but again, it falls everywhere. They dont charge for tea so that is a plus. There is a small parkade behind.

Fanny Bay is my favourite Happy Hour to go oyster place and though we mainly go for the oysters, we…read morelike to try a new dish every so often. We tried the crab baos and were surprised that the crab filling was cold but the baos were soft and perfect. The crab was plentiful and with a really nice sauce that is fresh but has a little kick to it. I can easily eat a number of these but at $24/dish with two crab baos, I can only afford so many along with the oysters. Haven't had a dish here that I don't like and it's the most fun sitting at the bar watching your oysters get shucked live in front of you. Highly recommend and will keep telling everyone to go, I know I will continue to do so.

Overall, service was generally fine though the table was consistently wet which was annoying…read more The place was very loud so much so that I had to yell for the waiter to hear me when he was standing right next to me. As to the food, well I appreciate the menu offerings, but the oysters were too old and of poor quality. Even the best types did not taste great. The grilled octopus tasted like burnt oil. The stuff that is extra that came with the caviar was just weird, mostly pickled vegetables and chips. Especially for the price, there are lots of other seafood restaurants that are better.

I understand king crabs are expensive…read more What I ordered on the website stated it would feed "2-3 people" (see photo) and I would argue this is misleading. Granted, I'm at fault for not paying attention to the grams because if I did, I would have realized it's barely enough for 1 person. In they store they actually tried to justify that this is enough for 2-3 people. I'm willing to pay market value, even more to support a business I like, especially during these rough times. But sorry, this is just plain deceptive.

Sweet, tender, and perfectly steamed, you don't need much else. * Then the Thursday lobster roll special (50% off crobster prawn roll $33 $16.50) is a must-order. Generous chunks, buttery richness, and that soft bun that ties it all together * The crisp fried oysters were golden, light, and super addictive, especially with the happy hour deal at $4/each or $18. * The seafood tower ($110) was the showstopper: * Poached prawns were plump and chilled perfectly * A dozen oysters super clean, briny, and fresh * Caviar chilled mussels added a luxe touch * Clam escabeche had a nice tangy bite * Albacore tuna tataki was melt-in-your-mouth good * The Harbour Caesar ($16) was strong, savoury, and the perfect seafood pairing, and the white sangria ($16) kept everything bright and refreshing * Overall: super fresh seafood, great value on specials, and definitely a spot I'd come back to for those Monday + Thursday deals.

I had been to Kishimoto many years ago but did not decide to return until recently when I was in…read morethe area. The menu seems to have shrunken since then with less options for sushi rolls and is more streamlined to basic sushi, nigiris, and rolls. My boyfriend and I walked in on a Sunday and managed to get sat at the bar seating within an hour of waiting. The restaurant is cozy and there is limited seating so reservations are probably preferred. Since we weren't super hungry, we opted to share a few items and went with staples such as the salmon oshi, bluefin tuna nigiri, and the wagyu udon noodle soup. The bluefin was amazing and melted in my mouth - a close contender considering I was not in Japan. Salmon oshi was standard - I think the sauce on top was a nice change to the usual slices of jalapeño. What really amazed me was the noodle soup. The noodles were hand made and the broth was savoury, deep, and flavourful. We both wanted to slurp every last drop of soup up because it could not be wasted! I also liked the good variety of toppings and would definitely return to have this noodle soup again. If I recall correctly, Kishimoto has always been on the higher end of the price scale but you will definitely receive what you paid for in quality, service, and deliciousness.

The restaurant is located on the…read moreground floor of the Seaside Hotel in North Vancouver and has two entrances - one from the street and another through the hotel. My boyfriend and I were in a seafood mood and ordered the following: Seafood Tower: A showstopper. Beautifully presented, overflowing with fresh oysters, chilled prawns, lobster rolls, caviche, and tuna tartar. Everything tasted fresh and ocean-sweet but the lobster rolls buns were getting wet and soggy from the plate to ice condensation - an oversight on presentation logistics. Wagyu Carpaccio: Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The wagyu was sliced paper thin and had that rich, buttery texture you hope for. The shaved truffle garnishe added just enough flavour without overshadowing the beef. Served with a few pieces of sourdough bread, it was one of my favourites. Roasted Chicken: I know--ordering chicken at a seafood-forward spot felt risky, but it ended up being one of the surprise standouts. Perfectly roasted with crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. It was served with a zesty sauce and roasted vegetables and really homey and tasty. Scallops Risotto: Creamy, aromatic, and cooked to that ideal al dente bite. The scallops were seared beautifully--golden on the outside and tender inside. Service was warm and attentive, and the coastal-chic atmosphere made the whole experience feel relaxed but still special. If you're anywhere near the area, Seaside Provisions is worth a visit especially since they have a Happy Hour.

Since the host ordered everything I don't quite remember everything we got. What we had was generally good, but also I thought to myself that each item was quite small, and hard to share evenly among the 7 people there.

A number of guests were disappointed the restaurant only served beer and wine, and couldn't mix drinks. Service was good enough - friendly and interactive but nothing outstanding.
