    Veg spring rolls

    This is our go to place for good eating ! They have A great menu, all the food we've ordered have not disappoint us. From their soups to their sandwiches. Their fish tacos are really good and they have the best butter chicken I've had in downtown. My go to wud be their fish and chips - way better than anything you can get in downtown. Their Bombay fish curry is my personal fav. Sauce for the curry is so good and the poached halibut is cook to perfection- succulent and moist. They use thin coating of batter for their fish and chips and y only use halibut fish ! Very crispy on the outside and super moist inside ! Price point is very reasonable and you will be fully satiated when you leave.

    Short ribs benny with crispy hashbrowns.

    Needed lunch while en route to Home Depot, and found the reviews for this diner. Wouldn't have found it any other way as it is in a complex behind a sealed gate! But thankfully the code to open the motorized gate is posted. It's worth the effort to dine at this aptly named diner. Had fish n chips and short ribs benny. Loved the house cut fries and the ample portion of tender meat in the benny. Delightful and friendly service, and very reasonable prices!

    Burger and fries. $13. Delish and huge!

    Food is always fresh. Halibut when in season. Always pleasant servers. Lots of parking.

    COVID #33 Day #2 Diner #2 Fried chicken #2 inside diner #2. Right after eating, I experienced a #2, but we won't go there for this review. It was not the fault of the food. =P As others have mentioned, it's in an odd location that can be a bit hard to find. I still found it. See my pics. I'm impressed with the level of food coming out of this place. Very close to Argo Cafe. Upscale diner food is the best description. What caught my attention was the waffle. They did a tremendous job on it. This would give Nero Waffles a run for the money in terms of flavour. This is another "you need to try this" type place. Located in a fashion warehouse industrial park, but they wouldn't let me, the fashionista, shop. It's a wholesale complex. Screw the Subway, or whatever they have inside the Home Depot. Come here instead. Family run, friendly owners.

    EXCELLENT BREAKFAST SPOT!! this place is truly a hidden gem that could very well become a local favorite. It's hidden in an office park but trust Google maps it's SOOO WORTH IT! EVERYTHING was excellent, the bacon thick and perfectly crispy, in OMG the potatoes were PERFECTLY cooked and seasoned. The pancakes thick and fluffy the fruit and veggies were fresh. This place is AWESOME!! SERIOUSLY DON'T SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! I mean seriously top knotch breakfast in a cute cozy spot with no wait!!

    Another great meal! Came with my husband, daughter and grandson today and we had another great meal! I had the chicken and waffles and daughter had chicken souvlaki. Hubby had the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and fries and grandson had ham and cheese sandwich. So good! The service was great too!

The service was also great, with multiple people checking in on us. The corkage, at $20, is very reasonable and the restaurant even comp'ed our tiramisu! We will miss it once it is gone. The food was quite decent. I thought the prices were a bit inflated for just pasta, but the portion size was pretty massive -- most of us took leftovers to go. The sauces in general were a bit bland and the pasta was definitely cooked to beyond al dente, which isn't my preference for dried pasta. That said, the toppings were generous, especially for the linguine crab that I ordered (would highly recommend!). Come by before they close permanently!

Creamy but not too heavy I wish it had more bacon but it was delicious all around. The daily special veal was also amazing. The veal was juicy and perfectly seasoned and paired with the creamy pasta was perfect. We ended with the panacotta which was fresh, fruity and light! Will definitely be back!!

    When we saw "Italian Kitchen" on the map of nearby restaurants, we expected a little diner so homey…read moreas to be almost dowdy; but damn were we wrong. The first sign that THIS Italian Kitchen is not your great-grandnonna's kitchen was the sweet hostess's inquiry about our reservations. Though I would strongly recommend making one in the future, we appreciate the staff for squeezing our family in for 1.5 hour. The chef must have known our window of time was limited because our three plates came out swiftly after we placed our order, with no shortage of quality. The girls enjoyed the truffle spaghetti and meatballs so finely minced that they crumbled between the prongs of their forks. They even tried the Grilled Spring Salmon (which my husband and I were a little loathe to share-- would it be worse if they disliked it or loved it too much?) and the crunchy bits of the antipasto platter. Our waiter, Mike, was attentive in all the right ways. But of course, among all the richness and flavors, our 5yo's favorite item was the slice of bread at the beginning. (Cross-posted on Google)

    My friends and I recently shared a few dishes here, and while the flavors were truly impressive,…read morethe portion sizes left us wanting more. We started with the complimentary bread, which was a total highlight. Each person gets a fresh slice that has an incredible crust and a soft, pillowy center--dipping it into the oil and vinegar was the perfect way to start the meal. For our mains, the Gnocchi Asparagi e Funghi was my favorite - the gnocchi themselves were clearly handmade and had a great texture that didn't feel heavy. The earthy mushrooms and asparagus worked really well with the parmesan cream, which was rich but didn't overpower the other flavors. The Squid Ink Linguine ai Frutti di Mare was also solid; the lobster bisque base gave it a deep, savory saltiness that coated the clams, prawns, and scallops perfectly without making the dish feel too "fishy." We also tried the Candele Al Ragù D'Anatra. The duck ragu was tender and savory, and the combination of the parmesan fondue and aged asiago added a nice, sharp saltiness that made every bite really satisfying. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh, it's just a shame the portions were so small because the flavors were definitely there. The service was excellent and very attentive; I especially appreciated that they were constantly on top of refilling my water throughout the night. The ambience also hit the right note, making it a great spot for a night out. However, the portions are definitely on the smaller side and aren't super filling. Even though every dish tasted amazing, we weren't full by the end of the meal, so it's something to keep in mind if you're arriving with a big appetite.

Both our dishes were excellent. Service was prompt, yet unobtrusive. Would definitely recommend and return whenever we are back in Vancouver.

    My fiancé and I first visited this restaurant about six months ago because we could keep an eye on…read moreour dog while dining. We absolutely loved their house-made pasta during that visit, so we knew we had to return and explore more of the menu. Ambiance - 4/5 One of the things we appreciate most about this restaurant is the outdoor seating. On a beautiful day, it's a wonderful place to enjoy a meal, especially if you're dining with a dog. Being able to relax outside with our pup made for a very enjoyable experience. Service - 3/5 Service was friendly, but not quite as attentive as during our previous visit. Our server was pleasant, though there were a few missed opportunities to enhance the experience. For example, we weren't informed that alcohol could not be served in the outdoor dining area until after we had already started looking at the drink menu while we were in the middle of dining. Food - 4/5 The highlight of this restaurant continues to be its house-made pasta. The texture is wonderfully chewy and perfectly cooked, giving each dish a freshness that's difficult to find elsewhere. This visit, we tried the mushroom tagliatelle with truffle rosé sauce. While the description sounded incredible, the dish didn't quite live up to our expectations. It was enjoyable, but we still preferred the bolognese from our previous visit and cacio e pepe from this visit, both of which showcased the pasta more effectively. We also ordered the gnocchi, which was well prepared and satisfying to certain extent, but it didn't surpass our favorite one from San Francisco. The pesto sauce was just okay. If we order the gnocchi again, we'd likely try it with a tomato-based sauce instead. Overall Value - 4/5 This restaurant offers excellent value, particularly for pasta lovers. The quality of the house-made pasta alone makes it worth a visit, and there are still several dishes on the menu we're eager to try. We're already looking forward to returning and exploring more of what the kitchen has to offer.
