The Richmond Memory Corner location is quite popular let's see how this new one compares. We came around 11:15am and it's already a lineup waiting to get in! Luckily this place is quite big.

They even had a gazebo, I wish they would have sat us there because it was pretty awesome looking. Oh well, maybe next time? The food was just average to me for an Asian restaurant in the Vancouver area, but it does live up to the Richmond location. Overall I would recommend going to Memory Corner just for the experience!

I ordered the mixed mushrooms with glass noodles from the main dishes menu (one of the few vegetarian options available). It's a simple stir-fry--fragrant garlic, mushrooms, and silky glass noodles. Nothing overly complicated, but comforting and satisfying in its own way. At first, it feels quite understated, almost plain-looking, but it grows on you with every bite. The little chilli sauce on the side is what really elevates everything. A bold mix of green chilli, garlic, ginger, and lime juice--it completely wakes up the dish and turns each bite into something bright and punchy. It honestly made me realize how much I miss ginger in everyday cooking. The stir-fry is a bit oily, but it seems intentional, helping keep the glass noodles from clumping and giving them that smooth, glossy texture. My only wish is that there were more plant-based options on the menu--because the space and flavours here really deserve a stronger vegetarian selection.

Luckily the street fair was going on so we didn't mind and we were able to get a table 20 min later. The venue is pretty big too but it's a bit crowded going in between the tables. Every time i used the washroom I had to wait for the staff to pass to get back to my table. We tried the pho and the porkchop over rice. Both were really good. The porkchop was large, although a portion of it was a lot of fat. The veggies were fresh. For the pho, the noodles were well cooked and the broth was very flavorful. Would def come back again for the pho!

The food came quickly and the staff were attentive. For food, we got their spring rolls with vermicelli to start which was good. For mains, I got their yellow curry with chicken. The chicken was very bland and lacked flavour, the yellow curry also did not have much flavour and it was too thin. I was not able to finish my meal. My friend got their tofu with mushroom sauce and rice, she said that it was average and that the tofu was dry. We weren't in the mood to get pho, but I would give it a shot next time.

I visited Pho Hong back in April with a friend while looking for something quick and comforting…read morenearby. We ended up here more out of convenience than craving and for that purpose, it was fine. I ordered the house special pho. It came out hot and generously portioned, with all the usual trimmings: fresh bean sprouts, jalapeño, mint, and lemon. The broth was mild, the meats were decent, and it definitely filled me up. Nothing particularly memorable, but it got the job done. Our total came to around $34 before tip, which felt fair. The vibe is no-frills: casual service, simple decor, and I believe it was cash or debit only at the time. Quick enough and friendly enough, but not a place I'd go out of my way for. That said, if I'm in the area again and need a pho fix, I might stop by. Solid for what it is.

Chic, mysterious, and just a little mischievous, The Good Thief is the kind of spot that feels like…read morea secret you are almost reluctant to share. The entrance is completely unmarked, with darkened windows and no signage; you literally have to decide whether to push or pull your way into the gloom, which fits the "thief" theme perfectly once you step inside. Inside, the space leans into a **chic** speakeasy ambience, only slightly undercut by 90s chillout tunes that are a touch loud but still on-brand for a laid-back late-night hideout. The food is where things really land. Frog legs arrive as the star curiosity and end up tasting strikingly familiar--so much so they echo the famed chicken wings from Anh and Chi in both comfort and flavour. The beef tartare is properly seasoned and genuinely delicious, rich but balanced enough that it never feels heavy. Ox tail is a unique inclusion on the menu and it follows through, offering deep, slow-cooked flavour that stands out even among the stronger dishes. Duck breast is cooked to a textbook pink, tender and juicy, an easy "order again" plate. Dessert keeps the momentum going. An oolong peach creation acts as the perfect finishing touch: fragrant, slightly floral, and just sweet enough to close the meal without tipping into cloying territory. Service and atmosphere reinforce the sense of a discreet drinking den--this is the place you duck into for a properly made drink and a series of small plates, not a high-traffic scene bar. With nothing to complain about--from food to vibe--The Good Thief feels like a well-executed concept: a hidden, unmarked bolthole where you slip in from the dark, linger over excellent plates, and slip back out just as quietly.

We had an incredible meal at Song recently…read more We came for the set menu, which doesn't explicitly list what dishes you'll get, other than that's it's an assortment of some of their popular dishes. We made a reservation beforehand but didn't need to decide on the set menu until we sat down, so we had the flexibility to decide if we wanted to order a la carte or not. Our server was super nice and clearly enthusiastic about the dishes that she described to us as she brought them. FOOD // The pomelo salad was the star of the meal - SO good! I've had pomelo before and sometimes have mixed feelings about it, depending on how sweet/sour it is and how juicy it is. Song's pomelo salad was mixed with some amazing flavors - I have no idea what was in it, but it tasted super unique, refreshing and sweet/savory - and it came with a bunch of betel leaves to wrap with, which was my first time trying betel leaves and also had a really interesting taste, almost minty but not like peppermint. GET THE POMELO SALAD! I really liked everything else we got too - satay chicken toast amuse bouche, shrimp toast, duck confit red curry, tom kha ($10 CAD extra for the best tom kha I've ever had), even the oyster was good (not too briny, as someone who doesn't love raw oysters). The only thing I'd skip on next time is the Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry, which was a bit too salty and didn't feel that unique compared to the rest of the meal. The lychee sorbet dessert was a refreshing end to the set menu meal. We were stuffed by this point and didn't have room for a second dessert from the main dessert menu, even though they all sounded good. Total price for the set menu came out to ~$72 pp including tip. Next time I want to try the pad thai and fish too, which friends have recommended.

Stopped here for family dinner simply because it was close by, and I had a craving for Thai food…read more We made reservations online, and showed up on time, and were quickly seated. As I entered, I quickly remembered being in the space not long ago when it was a El Gato Gab Gab. The space has stayed mostly the same, but the decor has been updated to have a more Thai theme. We initially had our mind set on 5 dishes, but were told 2 were sold out, so we had to make some changes. They had mentioned a couple other items (which we didn't order) were sold out too, so they clearly had some supply or planning issues to work out. Here is what I tried: - Stuffed Chicken Wings: Very good. The batter had volume, but stayed quite light. The chicken was mostly deboned, and fully stuffed. Probably my favourite dish of the night: - Crispy Frog Legs: Very good. Quite similar to the chicken wings in terms of the light batter. - Khao Soi Chicken Leg: OK. Tasted fine, but the chicken, although tender, had a slightly mealy quality to it that I thought was a bit strange. - Pad Ka-Pao Beef: Good, but the beef was more "wet" that I normally see it. - Naem Fried Rice: Good. No complaints. Service was very pleasant, and they took the time to present and describe the dishes. They did seem less attentive as the place got busier though. I would rate this visit a 3.25 out of 5 - a little better than average. I really liked the stuffed chicken wings and crispy frog legs, but everything else was a bit more average including the service. Not having a few dishes we wanted shows signs that they need to iron out some operational issues.

This place has changed many times, and now it's a Thai restaurant!…read more I really enjoyed it overall. They kept the original structure but redesigned the interior, which now has a beautiful Thai-inspired fusion style. Food-wise, I liked everything I ordered. The two appetizers complemented each other well--one deep-fried and one herb-based, creating a nice balance. The chicken leg noodle had a very creamy soup base. Last but not least, the cocktails were creative too--Thai-inspired but not overly boozy. The service was great as well. All the servers were friendly and always smiling.
