Bao Chau deserves some positive reviews. It's truly the best spring rolls in town. Granted, I haven't been here for years but memories of chomping on greasy Vietnamese spring rolls still come to mind.

Pho ain't bad either. The setting is a little…More »

So .... my parents' house is literally down the block from this place. Reading some of the reviews, I'm confused about the location ... the one that I went to was right on Nanaimo/1st. And yes, the name is awfully strange for an authentic dim sum…More »

It appeals to the demographic in the neighbourhood:…More »
