We visited for an early lunch this past Monday and ordered two house specials for $9.00 each, two…read morepork puffs for $6, a coke and a fruit buble drink for a total of under $30. Their sandwiches were exactly as we remembered; meaty, crunchy, tart/ savory with a touch of floral from the cilantro inside a crispy tender baguette! We love how they bake their own bread too! What I noticed was that they altered their bread recipe by adding rice flour & reducing their wheat flour ratio. This helps the bread taste less dense, adds crispness and a lighter crumb. A great improvement to tge sandwich. The pork puffs are so savory and porky flavored, the puff oastry although laminated using lard is so flaky, crispy and light in your mouth. I'm always sorry to finish the last bite. These snacks sell out early so make sure you buy them before noon or you'll miss out. These sandwiches kept us going all day until after 6pm! Where else can you get a lunch for $9 to keep you satisfied all day? The family that operate this shop are very friendly and willing to answer questions about their food. They remember us when we visit. The interior is a small space with no dine in tables since the pandemic. They filled that space with a refrigerated cooler for drinks and such. They also offer prepared shrimp salad rolls to go too. The service was very efficient at the counter with the staff ready to upsell more of their delicious treats in case forget to ask for them. We came back here after our disappointment with our former favorite bahn mi sandwich place in Richmond. This will always be our go to place again. Value, reliability and friendly service is what we can count on from this place. Don't miss trying this awesome sandwich shop.

I did try a bahn mi here a long time ago and since living in Kelowna for the past decade I haven't found one that compares to to the ones in east van. Small shop but very clean, bright and one can see the counter with subs and fixings lined up with 4-5 young women assembling the sandwiches with the utmost efficiency . There was also steamed cha sui buns and special drinks but my focus was on a good sub. Ordered 4 special subs and got my number. My order was made up very fast and it was wrapped in parchment paper and loaded into a reusable "cloth" bag. High marks for ease of ordering and quick service. The special bahn mi - fac biet- it was huge and had a good amount of filling. there was the pate that I could taste, the meats and pickled carrots. Very tasty but needed more veggies! Had a sprig of cilantro , a couple pieces of cucumber and lengthwise slice of jalepeno. I wish they put in lots more cilantro and cucumbers as it was missing that satisfying herbaceous crunch. The bread was fresh and chewy but no exterior crispness of a good fresh baked baguette. In all, 3.5 stars for a decent bahn mi. psa CASH Only!!!

Their restaurant is not too big so wouldn't recommend it for a big group. My friend and I both got their crispy chicken crepe - hers was tapioca (gluten free) and mine was traditional crepe. Both were soo good! The tapioca one had a different texture - it was a bit more chewy. Not a bad option if you are gluten free! We also got their nutellacino which was basically a nutella cappuccino! It was definitely as good as it tasted. Their menu was a lot different than the last time I came here (around 3 yrs ago) and I really liked all the new items they introduced. I would definitely consider this place again when I'm looking for a good brunch spot! Also their service was really fast! And they had a coat rack too :)

This place has been on my radar for ever but I'm never in this area. I came on a Friday, after…read morelunch, and this place was packed! Obvy I ordered the BREAKFAST SANDWICH (Fried egg, cheese, tomato, herb aioli on grilled sourdough with avocado). That sourdough is phenomenal!! There is so much Avo on this sandy that I felt guilty at the cost ($10). The perfect sandwich and combo of sauce, eggs, and veg! Adding hot sauce (which they have if you eat in) would take this to another level. Paired it with a fresh OJ! Just perfect. Staff, considering how busy, were so efficient and friendly! You can tell they are passionate about the place and they really are such a wonderful spot!!

You order up front and take a number to your seat. We got the breakfast sandwich with avocado and it was scrumptious. I read that they bake their own bread so it was fresh, fluffy and perfectly toasted. The toppings were very fresh and the egg had the right amount of runny yolk. My only wish was for less oil and mayo since it's a bit much for me and my hands were soaked in grease affer. For $10 this is incredible. The second item was the Shakshuka that came with 1 slice of toast cut in half, 2 poached eggs, lentils in their tomato, red pepper sauce and labneh. Eggs were perfectly poached and the sauce was a bit much on the tangier side. $14 is a steal and what keeps people coming back. I would definitely visit again.

There was a decent selection and we ordered the following: Steamed sponge cake 蒸鬆糕 Wife cake 老婆餅 Coconut tart 椰撻 Brown sugar walnut bread 紅糖核桃包 Prices are standard but the baked goods were average. The walnut bread was very dry. There was a small surprise though. I noticed several items are Taishan pastries packed in plastic boxes. Those are difficult to come across especially with modernization. We did not have the capacity to try those and it would be difficult to bring back to the US. If we ever revisit, I would love to give those a try.

I've had changfen in the bay and in china but I think the reason…read moreis so good here is because they make it to order and get it to you steaming hot (never got to experience this elsewhere, very unfortunate I know, even dimsum is just warm). Also compared it with a few other changfen/rice roll places in Richmond and we still loved this one the most, especially at this price point ($7.50 cad with egg added) The changfen isn't in very distinct strips because it hasn't had time to cool down and take shape, but I didn't mind. There's also a little table to sit at and the chili oil is SO GOOD OH MY GOD AND you MUST add an egg It's also super sweet how they're always really excited when we mention that we always stop by when we come up from Seattle :,) HARMONY BAKERY MY GOAT

Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

There was not a soul in the restaurant. We weren't really treated so I asked if we ordered at the counter or should we seat ourselves and they would come to the table. He told us to take a seat. We did. We waited about 5 mins. Thinking they'd bring us a menu or ask if we wanted coffee. We looked at the menu on the wall to see what we might want. But no one came to take an order or bring me us. They just kept restocking and cleaning. So my hubby n I decided to leave. So really did t eat there. Got no service. Would not recommend.

As we entered, it's exactly as others have described - very tiny, homely and quaint. We were seated immediately, were given menu's and instructed to order at the front counter when ready. Once we ordered and paid, the food probably took less than 7 minutes to come out - so quite fast. I tried both the Omu Curry Rice with Pork Cutlet and the Omu Hayashi Rice with Nikomi Hamburger Patty. Both looked very home-cooking style dishes, but in a good way that is very different from what you can find in a Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. Flavours were good, the portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. Staff were very friendly. They made sure so thank us before we went out the door. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I liked the food, and always supportive a hard-working family. I'd come back again.
