Come here during lunch time and find no room to stand. There are 15 food counters serving shushi,ramen, sandwiches, soups , pho, salad bar, indian food, and choice of tea /coffee If u are walking by , its on the opposite side of YWCA n next to Hornby underground parking With enough food options , u can basically try everything on every new day. I liked the portion served n most importantly speed of service is good. Salad counter in front is pretty cool as u get to choose/ make ur own salad. Most of the counters take all forms of money ie credit, debit, cash. Very good for lunch breaks

Anyways love the choices. My favorite Indian Place is located inside here. Indian Abroad. Good luck in getting a spot because it does get super busy. Good thing is that people here eat quite fast and then they leave. There is nothing but just food. Also they close early at like 3 pm or whenever food runs out. So many good choices.

Granville Island Public Market is one of those classic Vancouver experiences that pretty much…read moreeveryone tells you to do--and now I get why. The market sits on Granville Island, which used to be an industrial area before being transformed in the 1970s into a cultural and food hub. Getting there is part of the fun: you can take a quick water taxi across False Creek, drive, or grab a regular taxi. We went the easy route and arrived by car, but I'd love to try the water bus next time for the full experience. We got there later in the evening on a Sunday, so they closed early and time was limited. Before I even stepped inside, I spotted a vendor making maple candy--the kind that is poured onto ice and rolled up o to a stick. Highly recommend giving this very Canadian treat a try! Inside, it's exactly what you hope for: a lively space packed with vendors--produce, baked goods, prepared foods, local specialties. I had a short must-try list, starting with Lee's Donuts, Siegel's Bagels, and a hunt for Nanaimo bars, the iconic no-bake Canadian dessert named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia. Even with little time, it was fun weaving through the stalls and admiring all the products. Since we were visiting during the holidays, there were extra vendors selling arts, crafts, and locally made sweets, which made the whole place feel even more festive. We picked up bottles of maple syrup to bring home as gifts and also tried a few canelés. After we enjoyed our dinner, I stepped outside and took a moment to soak in the view--city lights reflecting on the water, the bridge glowing in the distance, everything calm and picturesque. It was a quiet contrast to the busy market inside and ended the visit on a really peaceful note. Definitely take in the view if you have a minute! Even though we didn't have as much time as I would have liked, it was still a great experience. Granville Island Public Market absolutely lives up to its "must-do" reputation.

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to pick up lunch, I got their koobideh which came with saffron rice and two beef skewers, grilled tomato, and a yogurt dip. I got the koobideh for $15 which was pretty reasonable considering their huge portion!! I had it over two meals. I also got their cream horn to try, it looks like a funnel cake but the texture is more flakey and has a cream cheese filling. It was delicious, not too sweet. Lastly, I also got their spinach pull-apart pastry for $9. It was so big it was a meal of its own! the filling was cheesy and delicious. I can't wait to be back again! 5/5 would recommend

The water feature witch use to feature ducklings and some times other berds hanging around makes this place awesome. You can enter the market from either the entrance directly at the Busswell and saba intersection, the doors in front of the erble medison shopp on Westminister hieway, or the side entrance on the second floor patio least accesible due to stares. Favorite stall on the main level is the Charsue stall located behind the escolators and near the flower stall and the elevator. So sweet and tender. Parking is available in the parkade on levels3 and 4, but we would always walk from home since it is just across the way. Over all, great place to eat before making your way eltsware, or if you are a tourest and are curious about the chinies community in Richmond and metro Vancouver.

Interestingly enough Ocean Concrete is also located here and you can gawk at their silos when walking around. If you're visiting during the weekends or holidays, parking can be a bit of a hassle. The sidewalks aren't clearly marked either, so pedestrians also spill over into the streets. It's better to take a ferry or water taxi to avoid the headaches.

We went on a Saturday mid afternoon and parking was ok because some people were leaving. A good selection of shops, including the public market and various shops. It was crowded, but service was good and friendly. We had a big meal beforehand, but it seems like a nice place to brunch by the waters and enjoy the views or have a snack - long line for the donut shop!

This review is regarding the PARKADE only, not a reflection of the mall itself or the stores…read morewithin. You MUST validate your parking at Sungiven Foods for 2-hour free parking, all other stores only validate for 1.5 hours - and I learned this the hard way. It was my first time driving to City Square, and I saw the sign in the parkade that read "Enjoy 2 hours free parking with purchase". I went to Dollarama first, and had my ticket validated there. I shopped around, and Sungiven Foods was one of my last stops before returning to my car. As I was driving out of the parkade, I was surprised that there was an overdue balance of $4.25 at the gate, even though I was in City Square for less than 2 hours (I had a timer on my phone). I called parking assistance and they sent Chandani to deal with the issue. She did not want to listen to my situation and was very rude and unhelpful. She kept insisting I pay for the ticket or go back upstairs to revalidate, and then walked away. I understand she may not have any authority to authorize anything or override the ticket, but she did not bother to listen or try to get help. I checked my timer, and saw that I was cutting it very close to 2 hours, so if I had re-parked my car and went back upstairs to revalidate, I would definitely go over the 2-hour limit. I paid the ticket and checked the website when I got home, and I understand that the City Square regulations states: -90 minutes FREE parking with a minimum $5.00 purchase from City Square retailers. -One retailer stamp per parking ticket allowed. Please bring your parking ticket along with you to the retailer for validation. I am upset because there was no indication (either on the website on signage posted in the mall or parkade) that the retailer stamp HAD to be from Sungiven Foods specifically (and be validated there first) in order to qualify for 2-hour free parking (instead of 90 min). Chandani also gave me the wrong information, and I would not have been able to re-validate at Sungiven foods anyways if I went back upstairs, as only one retailer stamp per parking ticket is allowed (as per the website). I did email the admin at City Square as well with my concerns over the signage, and asked for a possible refund. Chasity from Reception & Administration directed me to Precise Parklink in regards to the ticket refund. I didn't bother contacting Precise Parklink because on paper, I did exceed the 1.5 hour parking limit, but the reason for this is because of the misleading and unclear signage in my opinion.

Despite the name of Dumpling King, it's actually a queen busily making dumplings at the front. You are expected to use the self serve kiosk for ordering, but she was super sweet and was helpful despite being busy making the food. You can also buy a variety of frozen dumplings to take home, although they do a brisk business, so don't dilly-dally or you will lose out! The dumplings were ready in a flash, and while the food court was busy, it was well kept and clean, and there was a lady making sure it stayed that way!

I could've caught them on their off day, considering everything that I normally look for checks out; for goodness sakes- they have a person hand wrapping dumplings as their main selling point as their main focal point. Ordering was secondary as it was all automated to a touch screen. Back to my order, dumplings with noodles and a soy milk. Dumplings, the meat* (is what I would call "over bloomed with baking soda and liquids), that filling could really be anything. What I would call back in school lunches "mystery meat". There is no other veggies I can pick out in the dumpling- not even a filler like cabbage. Noodles- all the noodles were glued together as if thrown in a pot of overtly starched water and no one stirred it until it was over cooked. Broth- no idea what it was, it was clear, had the side effects of white msg and a few floaters of sea weed. Soy milk- very liquidly and it was neither hot or cold coming out of the fridge. Chilli oil- no heat, no salt, no idea what it was. Ironic it looks spicy with no spice. Vinegar- watered down. I don't know, I guess if one like mushy clumpy noodles and mystery meat dumpling and not that adventurous in seasoning. You have a winner. The entire meal, I contemplated, if I give up now- where am I going next for lunch. This was an experience indeed of confusion and dilemma of not wasting food.
