$6.95 + tax for a seafood mini hot pot?  I'm in!

The amount you pay is definitely worth what you get.  My seafood hot pot came with vermicelli noodles, tofu, 2 shrimps, 2 pieces of squid, 1 mussel and green onions.  (Yes, I counted everything)  Oh,…More »

A simple, average and typical Chinese restaurant.  Decor is a little drab and the restaurant is a little colorless, but I don't eat here for the atmosphere.

The food is tasty and perfect for a quick bite.  The vegetables are fresh and the dishes…More »

After eating at No.1 Beef Noodle for over a year now.  I found that they haven't slipped or cut back on ingredients.  

The noodle dishes are still quite good and the portions are great.  I haven't tried a noodle dish that I disliked and hope it stays…More »

Costco's going to take over the world soon!

Out of all the Costco's in Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby, this is my favorite one.  The products are usually well stocked and everything is generally in order.  The parking spots are huge and I don't have…More »

Hi Genki is located inside an old folks home and next door to the National Nikkei Heritage Centre.  

The decor.. hmmm what can I say about the decor.  Well, it feels very dry and boring.  It's basically a cafeteria with a few paper lanterns hanging on…More »

During the odd times when I need to work in Burnaby, I like to eat lunch at Happy Valley.

This is basically the only place I eat when I go to Parker Place.  They have the best BBQ duck dishes on rice or in soup with noodles.  I've tried other dishes such as the beef brisket on rice, but I found there was too much fatty pieces.  Stick with…More »

Delicious, hot, and a huge menu of congee!

Fung May is located in the Crystal Mall food court and 80% of the time that I actually go into this mall, I order from here.  They have a huge menu, but I always end up ordering their congee.  I think they…More »

I didn't get a chance to review Mezbaan and I happened to remember since I am daydreaming about good Indian food.

I stand by my original impression of Cattle Cafe at Metrotown.  The service is not great.  It's very slow and it is hard to get anyone's attention.

The food however, is very satisfying.  If you order the noodle combo, you can choose the soup base,…More »

Whenever I eat at the Metrotown food court, I find myself going back to Kim Bo Ting.

The food is enjoyable and healthy-ish for food court choices.  I usually get the noodle soup with seafood.  A friend of mine found it plain, but I like the simple…More »

Trying to look for something healthy in the Brentwood food court is a little difficult.  Thank goodness for Roasty Jack!

I ordered the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, rice & peas and gravy on the side.  (Meat and carbs are my friends)…More »

Just came home from dinner at this Sichuan restaurant.  It's basically a poorly decorated Chinese cafeteria.  Not really my scene, but I would go back anytime!  Maybe not for a romantic date or anything, but a quick Tuesday weeknight din.

We ordered…More »

I was a bit weary of trying this place since it used to be a morgue!  Yea, you read right.. a morgue.  After the morgue, it was turned into a Korean restaurant and now it's a Japanese restaurant.

I was suprised at how fresh the sushi and sashimi were.…More »
