Vancouver, BC V5Y 1R4
(604) 874-6121
Category:
Mongolian
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Tell me how this place stays in business? Seriously....I am at a loss at how it does! As long as I've been working in this area (years upon years) this place remains open. That really mystifies me!
It's expensive and it's not good. I remember my…More »

Wednesdays - Cambie & Broadway. 11:30am - 2pm. I sent myself an email to remind myself so I wouldn't forget today at work. I was their first customer at 11:30am.
I ordered the spicy pork burrito. As I was waiting for it, I almost went back and…More »
3. Via Veneto
A rep lunch today made me try out this place since I was NOT in the Cactus Club or Milestones mood as we usually do. I had read that this place is (run?) (owned?) by the previous owner of Amarcord. I never dined at Amarcord so I do not know if it is…More »
4. Chronic Tacos
Went for opening day today. We were recommended by the staff to try the fish tacos (Baja style) on corn tortillas. Infact, he told us it would be the best fish tacos we have ever had. How could we resist? So, we did, we had one of each fish taco.…More »

OMG is all I can say. This review is really about the bangers and mash.
- I did not eat dinner the day I had this for lunch.
- We waddled back to the office like fat ducks after lunch!
- The Yorkshire Pudding was on a huge dinner plate and was the…More »
6. Sha Lin Noodle House
I've waited so long to review this because I seem to keep trying it and hoping I will like it better the next time. I'm going to be honest, I don't like this restaurant and like it less than Peaceful, which doesn't thrill me consistently either!

7. Dynasty Seafood Restaurant
I used to love dim sum here when it was called Rich Ocean. Long story short, they sold, it turned into a Beijing restaurant (horrible), then was reinvented into Dynasty. I am not sure whether the reinvention involved new owners or not. The first…More »

Wow! This was my first visit to a Whole Foods and it sure impressed me! I had a "foodiegasm" today. Everything was beautifully displayed and the quality of everything was obvious. It was thrilling to look at all that FOOD!
In the seafood…More »

This is a lunch review only. They have 3 items only for lunch. You have a choice of chicken teryaki, beef or veggie patty served on a rice bun (the bun is made out of rice, ie..rice patties, not buns), with miso soup (it was warm, not hot), french…More »

The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because I'm a meatatarian. Otherwise, 5 stars! I read about this place over a year ago and it's right by my work but I just did not get around to going...
Last week, I had a craving for chickpeas! I don't…More »

I've been to Lucky Noodle twice for lunch now. They had 20% off for the month of May for the opening special. I overheard co-workers telling someone to go because it was excellent. Infact, another day, I was walking by another group & they were…More »

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I have been dining here for years. I work in the area & have come to lunch many times over the years. I stopped going though when I found the food no longer warranted a return visit.
So, after a 2 year hiatus we returned for lunch...I'm happy to…More »

So, this Groupon thing has been good for me. I'm getting to try out new places and feel like I'm getting a deal. This was great getting $18 for paying $8! I have never heard of this place even though I work in the area...
I called my son and he met…More »

You know, this was probably ONE of the best dinners in my life! Was it expensive? Oh YEAH! Would I do it again? Only if someone else was paying like they did for this dinner!
Aside from this, my son & I had the chance to go to Iron Chef Morimoto's…More »

This restaurant is now closed. It has turned into a crappy Beijing style restaurant called Beijing Cuisine. I have tried to get Yelp to change the listing but it hasn't been done. Here's what I think of the new restaurant:

16. Favorito's Restaurant
This place has been here for years! The same owner since I've been going & he also does wait service. I've only been for lunch. The food has its ups & downs, some good, some bad. So 2 food items I like is what I always order here now. No…More »
17. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine

(604) 731-6333
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
I used to be a huge fan of Banana Leaf. Now we go to Tropika on Cambie when we want Malaysian. Our major pet peeve is that the food NEVER comes out at the same time. So no matter if there's 2 or 3 or 4 of us, 1 or 2 of us is sitting there for long…More »
18. Menya Japanese Noodle
I tried this today for lunch and had the $7.00 or so miso tonkatsu ramen & the egg! The egg was my favourite part. I've never had Japanese soup before, well udon I guess, but not like this, so I have no rating to base it on really.
I thought the…More »
19. Kanpachi
Kanpachi looked like it was going to be expensive. It's where the Russian place used to be, right beside the Mongolie Grill. It's very nice inside & lunch was cheaper than Sushi Bang! I had a standard lunch box which included Tempura (2 shrimp &…More »
20. Gigi's Pizza & Spaghetti House
This place has been here as long as I can remember. I have been ordering from here off and on for over 20 years. I may have only dined IN once. Delivery is why I've used them and they're open til 3am, so that comes in handy the odd time...
I will…More »
21. Stages Restaurant & Lounge
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1J5
(604) 879-0511
This is a work spot. We go to lunch or sometimes to the lounge after work for drinks. I saw they have new lunch specials which include an entree & salad for $8. The entrees are either pizza, sandwich - I can't remember the other two choices but…More »
22. King & I Restaurant
2.5 stars. I've only had delivery from here. Considering I haven't found a good Chinese food delivery place in my neighbourhood lately, I go here once in awhile. The food is really equivalent to food court Chinese dining. Honestly, it's exactly…More »

Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Fast Food Sushi! The sushi's not bad & it's a good place for a quick lunch, but I rarely eat in there, I always take out. The place is always busy though. The lunch specials are pretty good - the usual chicken or beef teriyaki box with sushi,…More »

Pondok was what made me write my first restaurant review locally (before Yelp was here). It was the one on Commercial Drive and I found it such POOR value, I wrote my first review. Just last week my lunch partner & I went to the one on Broadway as I…More »
25. Unforgettable Pizza & Pasta
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1N9
(604) 739-7389
Stopped in for a slice for lunch today. $2.50 - got pepperoni & mushroom. Could have got 2 slices & a drink for $5. As he was warming it up he asked me if I wanted chiles, herbs or cheese? I stood there kind of stupid like, then said, "Doesn't it…More »
26. Martini's
Vancouver, BC V5Y
(604) 873-0021
I come for lunch once in awhile, but really this is my go-to delivery place. Delivery takes long, at least an hour. Sometimes it's ridiculously long waiting on the phone to get your order taken too!
But, food is reasonably good here. Pizza is…More »
27. Congee Noodle House
I recently just went here the first time for soup. I told my friends I was craving Wonton & one said, "Well, we have to go to Congee Noodle House then!" So off we went. I ordered the wonton/dumpling soup. The guys got wonton with noodle soup.…More »

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Went for the lunch buffet after reading good reviews. I was curious to see what it looked like after Tojo's. It didn't look much different, just more red! I'm no expert on Lebanese cuisine, so I can't offer any thoughts to authenticity or anything…More »

Categories:
Vietnamese,

Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Pho was good. I liked the broth a lot. The banh mi is ok, but I've had much better. The restaurant is dirty looking but not so bad that I was uncomfortable. It's not bad when you need the quick bowl of pho and the pho is good! Service is nice &…More »

Vancouver, BC V6H 1E6
(604) 730-8383
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
I go here for lunch once in awhile. This is decent vietnamese food. They have banh mi too though I've never tried one. I really like the prawn imperial and always order a side of it. The lunch combos are good value for $6.50. The place gets full…More »
31. Peaceful Restaurant
I've been here twice now, once for lunch & once I took out dinner. At lunch I had heard the beef roll had to be ordered, so we tried that. Was pretty good, but I know my expectations were high from all I had heard/read. I had the Kung Pao with…More »

I end up going here quite a lot for lunch as reps find it the place to go in my neighbourhood! I like the decor, the booths are comfy & the washrooms are great!
The only thing I can rave about is the Ahi tuna poke appy, it is so yummy! I order it…More »

This place opened after Fog n Suds left. It's a huge restaurant. It really is like a pub. When it opened they used to have free appy's on Friday nights. This was a great thing. We'd go after work, have dinner for free & drinks! All good things…More »

Honestly, I don't like this place at all! After a 1/2 a dozen times of dining here at lunch, I deciced I will never return...my co-workers & sometimes lunch gang like it, as they love AYCE places. Me, not so much.
I guess if you like carbohydrate…More »

Seeing John C.'s review just reminded me I forgot to post about this rip off of a place too.
I am still mad I paid $14 for a mediocre burger combo! For that price I could have a got a seriously good lunch elsewhere. I am still stewing about this…More »
