This seems to me to be the most consistent location in terms of food quality - I've had both amazing and not-so-great meals at the locations on Hastings/Cambie and Hastings/Waldorf. That said, I've only ever eaten lunch and this location and dinner…More »

Obligatory Naam review - every Yelper's got one, right? I understand that this place is hit or miss for many people, but aside from the slow service/long wait at the door, I really haven't had a bad experience in all my years of eating here.

That may…More »

I really like this place, but I'll admit upfront that it's one of three Commercial Drive restaurants that my husband and I disagree on (the others being Havana's and Bandidas - he loves them, I'm a "meh" at best...and the other way around at The…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  5/14/2012

This place seems to have broken the curse of the location - business after business occupying the space and going belly up within a matter of months (sometimes even less).

I'm happy they've been doing well enough to stick around; my first couple…More »

Q: What's the perfect lunch to eat when you're craving comfort food but the McDonald's breakfast you ate earlier in the day is already weighing on your conscience and stretching your waistline?

A: Vegetarian pho.

I know, I know - I was skeptical too.…More »

4.0 star rating

I gotta throw my two cents in here - for an-unauthentic-pick-what-you-w ant burrito chain, this place is really good. The ingredients are fresh and really nicely-seasoned, portions are huge and the price is right.

Although I'm a meat eater, I usually…More »

I agree so whole-heartedly with Meana K.'s review that I almost don't have to write my own.

Walking up to this place, all you can smell is the deep-fryer. I ordered the crispy chick'n burger and scanned the list of sides hoping for a salad, but all…More »

"OMGbestnachoseverblahblahblah ..." yeah OK, sure, I can't eat cheese. Still a good place to go if you're feeling like some laid-back vegan and vegetarian food. The emphasis here being on "laid-back".

Over the years, my experience with their service…More »

My husband and I have eaten here a ton of times since it first opened; as much as I would love to give it a higher rating (and I know my husband would, he's obsessed with the baked Wolf & Goat burrito), I'm just not in love with the food.

I do have…More »

Great veggie burgers and the samosas are always delicious, baked or fried. I'm also a big fan of the sunshine salad dressing (though it contains honey, so vegans be warned!), I could seriously sit down and eat a giant vat of that stuff, with or…More »

This place keeps me drifting back every once in a while when my body is craving the healthiest of all possible health food. This place is also nowhere near my office, so when I pick up lunch here I'm also getting in a good 45-minute brisk walk, too!

When I first started working nearby about 5 years ago, I was brought here by a co-worker and told to order the taco salad. I did, and it was awful - bland and soggy, the kind of lunch that you want to stop eating, but you're hungry and don't want to…More »

Ehhh...am I missing something here? Or perhaps this place just isn't my style...I dunno, but I was far from impressed with my meal here last night.

I had been told by a friend that this place has loads of vegan dishes, so I wouldn't have a problem…More »
