This location (there are a few) is in a white, airy building lobby, up a few stairs (I couldn't see a ramp for wheelchair/stroller access). You can see all of the lovely food displayed as you order the components of your meal. I got a Nourishing Bowl which had greens, brown rice and a choice of two sides, of which I tried beet salad and grilled Brussels sprouts. You can also add a protein, and I chose tofu. The spouse got a turkey chili which came with grilled bread. All of the food was fresh, delicious and fast. Service is helpful and polite as they compose and ring up your order. This is a great fast casual concept!

The soup and sandwiches took long to arrive. I got the Thai rice bowl with chicken. I found it to be flavorful, but a little watery. The protein to ratio wasn't great. I ate all the chicken and only a quarter of everything else. I wasn't impressed!

This is a nice spot for some healthy food if you're in a rush. Prices are decent, but the portions…read moreare a little small for the sides. Thai Veggie Stew (5/5) This was really delicious, but it was really small for a side portion costing $4. This was super flavourful, and had a good amount of ingredients in it. Veggie Falafel Wrap (4/5) This was pretty good, but I didn't really get any sweet potato falafel. I wish it was a little more flavourful, but overall it wasn't bad. Southwest Quinoa (3.5/5) This was rather refreshing - you can't really go wrong with beans, corn, red bell peppers and quinoa. Tahini Beet (3.5/5) This was quite nice, and I loved the tahini dressing. The beets were sweet but the cauliflower could have been roasted more. Brussel Sprouts + Apricot (3.5/5) The flavour was decent, but the brussel sprouts and butternut squash could have been cooked for longer. Kale Caesar (3/5) This didn't really have too much flavour to it, but the crispy chickpeas were nice. The kale was very hard and crunchy, and needed to be massaged and de-stemmed. Overall, this food here is decent, and I would come back for the Thai Veggie Stew for sure.

Ther are diners, and then there are Chinese & Western Food diners…read more This is the latter. Diners are all over the city. This is only in reference to Vancouver proper, and the latter type of diner is slowly becoming a rarity. I can think of only a handful of full blown Chinese Canadian diners within Vancouver proper. Northern Cafe and Grill doesn't really count any more. Their Chinese food is limited from what I recall when when I first went there. Check out who was the FTR. No more chicken chow mein. If that's not on the menu, it no longer counts. Pffffffttttt. Kyle's meets the strict definition. I got a chicken chow mein to go. Mind you it was basically food court chow mein, but I knew what I was getting, so I'm not complaining. Inside is kind of dumpy. I was expecting that. Family run and spoke Cantonese. I was expecting that. Food was exactly what I expected, and it was pretty decent. Friendly owners. The only real difficulty is parking. That's assuming you're like me, hunting down these establishments just for the sake of saying you've been there. I was at Elisa Steakhouse in the evening after this, so you can't call me an elitist! =P Cash only. Metered parking outside, if you can find a spot. Or be prepared to walk a bit or take transit.

Definitely tastes better than the really cheaper places like Nice Cafe (which has closed down now). They dont cheap out on the bacon and give you full pieces and layers. Also had the sunriser breakfast. Pancakes probably worse than making my own. The portions were really good. There is one friendly waitress and one lazy waitress. They speak cantonese so I know everything they said. I was trying to wave to the lazy one to ask to pay and instead, the chef saw me and told her a customer needs attention. She responded "what customer? I don't see anyone who needs me." When she finally saw me, she told the other waitress "go collect the money." She started speaking loudly about anything she wanted thinking that none of the customers understood - including all the different types of ethnic food she hates, and her bladder functions. A star is taken off for this waitress. I haven't tried the chinese food but this is the old western style non-authentic chinese food that I don't really like so I wouldn't be trying it anyways. Come for the breakfast!

Old school Moosewood style vegetarian…read more With an additional kicker. There is nothing "light" about this vegetarian food. This is hearty fare that will stick to your bones. A cold rainy city needs to have hearty fare that sticks to your bones. And if the cooking is fine and the raw ingredients are first rate, I will take that hearty fare in a summer heat wave too. * * * Naam has blueberry milkshakes to die for. Granted, all of the Pacific Northwest has amazing blueberries. Plenty of places make blueberry milkshakes. Blueberry milkshakes in season are just good. Most places in Vancouver do not make blueberry milkshakes. The 5% that do deserve all the loving you can give. * * * I ordered a Veggie wrap off of the "light" side of the menu. That "light" veggie wrap could have fed a lumberjack for an entire day. A heavy deep rich whole wheat tortilla was filled with potatoes (!!), homemade green salsa, homemade red salsa, and five or six other kinds of vegetables. The tortilla was burrito sized. This was way more solid eating than a Texas egg and potato taco. Or a plate of Texas egg and potato tacos. Fresh vegetables and fresh potatoes taste a heck of a lot better than driven-in-a-truck eggs and driven-in-a-truck potatoes. Green or red salsa is used in Texas to cover for the ho hum egg and potatoes that are in your Texas wrap. Green and red salsa on top of vegetables that don't need any help at all, but sure like to make friends? Sign me up. And a tortilla that packs a pow is always welcome. * * * We left Naam feeling healthy, The way your grandmother makes you healthy by giving you seconds on meatloaf, gravy, mashed potatoes and candied carrots. Your grandmother doesn't want you to go hungry, right? We felt as well taken care of as if we had just gone to visit our grandmother. And yes ... eating at Naam is a great source of personal growth.

I really wanted breakfast and didn't think of the Naam. It's not a go to spot for brunch. Until now. First off, I didn't have to wait in a line. You have access to their lovely patio! And the food was delicious, and very reasonable. I got their Spinach & Feta Omelette (sautéed mushrooms, onions, spinach, red pepper, cheddar, feta & mozzarella cheeses) and I made it a platter by adding their potatoes & miso gravy + Veggie Sausages. The food came hot and fast. And HUGE. I loved that you had plenty of mushrooms and a ton of cheese. I didn't even touch the sausage and still came home with half of the food! You know their miso gravy slaps and accompanies a potato! Service was fine. Again, I'm coming for the food and feeling like I'm at home! I really appreciate this place and can't wait to try more of their breakfast items (I got their dinners down!).

Review based on 15+ lunch visits…read more There's a reason it's the only place in the Royal Centre food court to get big lineups! At $7.25, the 5-item veggie combo hits the elusive perfect trifecta of being cheap, healthy, and filling. My favorites are the lentils, chickpeas, spicy red kidney beans, and mixed veggies. Meat-wise in the shawarma vs. butter chicken throwdown, the former is the winner. The butter chicken is tasty, but doesn't really resemble butter chicken. Be warned: the full-sized meat combos come with a huge amount of meat. Save it for when you're really hungry, or want leftovers - otherwise there's going to a post-lunch nap in your near future.

We stopped in after checking out places like Winners, Miniso, and CF Pacific Centre. It was just what we needed after a long day of shopping. I came with friends, and we decided to share a bunch of dishes so we could try a bit of everything. Everything we ordered turned out really well. The cheesy chicken burrito was super filling and packed with flavour, while the smash burgers were definitely the standout. They were big, juicy, and full of flavour, and every bite felt really satisfying. They are also running an $8.99 promo (which is actually a great deal) on items like the cheesy chicken burrito, pork carnitas burrito, and chicken burger, making it even more worth it for this area. The portions are big enough to share, though you might want to keep them for yourself once you start eating. The poutine is a must-try too; it's very cheesy and makes a great side. I also recommend the strawberry lime lemonade, which was refreshing and balanced out the meal. Here's what we shared: * Cheesy Chicken Burrito * Pork Carnitas Burrito * Chicken Burger * Smash Burger * Avocado Salad * Chicken Chipotle Soup * Poutine Overall, this is a great spot in downtown Vancouver if you want something quick, tasty, and affordable. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Presentation: 2/5 Parking: It's about a five-minute walk from Granville Station or Waterfront Station. Tips: * You can build your own burrito, salad, or bowl for $12.99 * The location is super convenient in the Granville entertainment district, making it perfect for a quick bite before lunch plans or evening events * They offer a wide variety of fresh ingredients and generous portions Would I return? Yes ‍
