Om nom nom! I love Hawkers! I crave this place all the time. I really wish I had got an extra dish to take home for my lunch. Damn!

Thinking of Hawkers takes me back over 4 years ago when I lived a few blocks away. Me and my roommate would wander up…More »

I held off writing a review for this place because so many others already had, but after my experience this past weekend I have to comment.

I love this place so much and always want to go for tacos.  I dream about tacos from here.  The food is way…More »

Hells yes!  Another La Taqueria and I couldn't be happier.  

Seriously, I am so happy for this business and how well they have done.  They totally deserve all the love and praise they have been getting.  The people are incredibly nice and friendly at…More »

Duffin's, you sneaky temptress, you!

I'm both sad and glad I didn't try this place earlier.  Sad because that's years of sub-par sandwiches I have been eating instead of Duffin's delights.  Glad because Duffin's is not in a convenient location, so…More »

I've had the shredded chicken sub from here several times, and I've got to say, I really enjoy them.  Service is curt, and you need to know what you want to order, but it is efficient.  I have not been during very busy hours, so perhaps the issues…More »

The original Uncle Fatih's!  No, the sign does not say Uncle Faith's.

Uncle Fatih's was a staple of my BCIT years.  Conveniently close to my 1st year basement suite, and sometimes accessible during my 2nd year, I ate Uncle Fatih's a fair bit.  Late…More »

  Update - 5/20/2010

I'm still a fan, however their prices have gone up!  Noooo!  Burger deals are now $3.99 (still a good deal if you think about it) with fries.  And wings went up to $0.39, I think, on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Sad.  But I didn't expect them to actually…More »

Another review where I wish I could give half stars.  This would be a 3 and half.  I wanted to round up, but then I thought, "Would I go here to eat voluntarily and on my own if not going with people I am working with?"  And the answer is No.  Don't…More »

Damn, someone beat me to FTR!  I knew I should have written this one as soon as I visited...

I came back here for a quick lunch and I still love it for their value and friendly service.  I try and stop in every couple months if I can swing a trip past here.  

I had the green curry with tofu.  Delish.  And spicy, the way I like it, even if it…More »

This place deserves your attention. It may not look like much from the outside (or the inside), but it is so good, and so very affordable.

It's a pretty simple menu, and they don't have beer or alcohol, and no paneer or samosas, but you'll find…More »

Yes! This place is awesome!

So cute, so tasty, so nice.  This brightly coloured establishment with super friendly and sweet owners is just the place to grab some lunch.  Yes, the food takes a while, and the sign tells you to be patient, but it is well…More »

Thanks for the Tip, Yelp.  Get it? Get it? Yeah, never mind...

Excellent spot for quick and friendly Thai food on a budget.  The lunch specials for $7 are plentiful and come out fast, even though you can see the staff making it all in the back.
