Shellfish Shack is one of the only memorable spot for my Vancouver Trip. Everything we have ordered was an new tasting in a good way.

Would definitely come eat if i ever come to Vancouver again.

When you dine here, for me at least, it's like entering the Willy Wonka of Food Paradise…read more I specifically came here to try the gooey duck. An extremely large prehistoric claim that you need special mining tools to get to and is only available on the west coast. The Gooey Duck tasted like a soft clam. Not too chewy, and full of crisp flavor. I also was lucky enough to come during happy hour, so I tried the periwinkles and escargot for fifth-teen dollars each. The escargot was not what I was expecting as I only ever had it before in French restaurants where it is served basically in a ball shape covered with butter and garlic, the escargot here were very small and you had to get it out of the shell with a toothpick. After researching snail, I understand there are three different types of snail you can eat. This one is much different than the one if find in French restaurants, but I am glad I was adventurous and tried it. The Periwinkles I liked more than the snail however these were even harder to get out of the shell and you have to really stab and twirl to even have a chance of getting them out of the shell. We probably left over half in the shell. Pro-Tip : Get the jade conch! They gave me two complimentary as they knew I really wanted to try it and not have to order three entrees and a main entree to try everything I came here for. Thank you very much Shellfish Shack, as I loved the Jade Conch and would definitely get this again in the future. The conch were very large and came out of the shell fairly easily. They had two distinct flavors as you reached the bottom of the jade conch, they were more succulent and flavorful, the top portion of the jade conch was a bit spongier and chewier, but I liked these by far much greater than the snail and periwinkles. The girlfriend got the scallops, and they tasted sweet and delicious. Now if you're not sold yet on the place they have a fun game you get to play with the purchase of any beer. You crack off the cap on a pinko looking board and if the cap lands into one of the slots you can get free oysters or other free goodies. I ended up getting two tsing-tao beers but got the try again maybe next time slot both times : ) Great different experience, highly recommend! As always people SYOY!!!

Solid seafood place near Coquitlam Centre…read more Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The place looks nice and modern. Comfortable cushy chairs, and wooden trim. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

We tried to go to other places around town for dim sum but others were too busy or only took reservations. I'm so glad we ended up here. Portions are huge so be careful when ordering!

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.

We revisited Blaze BBQ which offers both Korean BBQ and Chinese BBQ . We had a memorable experience…read moreon last visit, so, we decided to come back for a dinner. What we got: Korean BBQ - Korean style Honey beef ribs, and Garlic beef roll. Signature dish - Blaze Galbi Jjim - Braised beef back rib and ox rail, with potatoes carrot onion, rice cakes cheese. Chinese BBQ - Signature beef skeweres and Signature lamb skewers. Chinese BBQ was very decent. It was't too spicy which I liked, and meat texture was juicy and soft. Korean style honey beef rib was so tender and melting in my mouth. It was really great! Garlic beef roll was ok, very soft and tasted fine. And signature item Blaze Galbi Jjim was presented with fire flame by staff. It was definitely instagram worthy presentation. Not only presentation, but taste was very great.. Ox tail and back rib were super tender. Soup was mild and delicious. It was very good item which I highly recommend. Oveall, we really enjoyed dining at Blaze BBQ. Service was good and Location is convenient near Metrotown. We will revisit for sure.

Atmosphere and ambiance remains the same or quite similar to the previous BBQ place (Mr Beggar's Grill), with minor decor updates and the biggest update is its brand new restaurant name. I enjoyed dining at Blaze for their cooked BBQ skewers, they do an excellent job grilling it on charcoal and I like the fact that it saves me time and hassles of grilling own meats lol. Alternatively, for those who enjoy the full bbq experience, one can opt to order from their full menu page of fresh meats -- there are a variety of beef and pork items plus some selected lamb items and there are menu items for the seafood lovers and vegetarians too. It's located right behind the Chevron on Kingsway and you can find their small parking lot and back door entrance turning onto Newton St from Nelson Ave. There wasn't any posted happy hour special in the afternoon but they now advertise a 10% off during lunch time. Also, they run a draft beer special of buy one get one free for diners arriving after 830pm.

It was messy to eat Po Boy, but that wasn't an issue. Baguette was so crunchy on the outside it was perfect! There was some arugula, kimchi and 3 pcs of oysters in it. I also ordered fries it was huge! Fries were bit salty and overcooked I tossed it out in the end. I left my water and soda to drink them later after heading to washroom. Staff cleared my water and soda away. I still had half of soda in it. I felt thirsty after eating my food in the end. It'd have been nice if she asked me first before clearing dishes. I don't think I'll go back.

They offered to split our lobster bisque so we could each have our own. We've also tried their tableside salad and desserts before and enjoyed the shows. My toddler wanted to get a closer look. The ambience is moody with high ceilings, low lighting, and plush seats. There is a constant buzz of conversations around us to provide a bit of intimacy and privacy to our conversations, while also allowing our toddler to be just a bit rowdy without feeling like we are disturbing the other guests. Of the food, I love the mushroom side with the truffle fondue. I wanted to dip everything in it as it was so flavourful and delicious. Complimentary bread with butter and blue cheese butter were offered to start. The brussel sprouts side was also unique with the added pistachios and a crisp for some crunch. The hearty mussels and clams starter were great for a rainy evening. Portion was enough as a meal by itself, too! There is a covered parking lot for those driving. I suggest making reservations as it can be quite busy!

Only my second time here since 2019!…read more Shame on me! Atlas Steak & Fish, is one of Metro Vancouvers premium award winning restaurants. Located at the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby, free parking available in the casino lot across the street, but be warned that it's dirty as hell & smells terrible. Atlas Steak & Fish, is a supreme restaurant via looks, decor, lighting, seating, piano bar, table service, excellent waiters, food presentation & more. I ordered an Atlas Old Fashioned & let me tell you - WOW! Truly one of the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. (Bulleit 10yr bourbon, charred rosemary-maple syrup, aromatic bitters, cacao bitters served smoked over a 2" ice cube) The complimentary bread & butter was delightful. Our waitress Marina was fantastic. Our dinner consisted of Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Halibut & Lobster Risotto & the Tomahawk Pork Chop. Everything tasted splendid & knocked it out of the ball park. For dessert, get the Baked Alaska - it is absolutely sensational! The table service is spectacular - see my video clips. Make a reservation & get here ASAP!

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.

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.
