$7.95 all you can eat and one of the best deals in town. First day there and they had tandoori chicken that was tasty and moist, fish curry, grilled chicken, butter chicken, tasty spicy kidney beans, chickpea, naan, salad, sliced fruits, rice pudding, and some other items.

One day I will try their lamb rogan josh extra spicy.

This place rocks! Friendly service and they moved to a bigger and new location inside City Square mall.
I bought a Spyderco Para-military 2 here on sale and it was cheaper than buying it online. I love my Spyderco it has a super fast blade deployment, very light, easy to sharpen, holds a great edge long, and is the best folding knife I have ever bought.  For $112 on sale it is a great value. I use this for work as it is safer than a box cutter but I also take it with me on hikes and camping. Spyderco also makes budget priced knives made in China which are still awesome quality blades.

I also bought a 4 sevens double AA flashlight it has 7 modes including strobe and SOS, maximum output is 280 lumens that is extremely bright. On sale for $49.99 and it comes with duracell batteries, holster, and other accessories.

I just bought a razor sharp Katana today I am all smiles today very nice. Practicing my sword technique. Bonzai!!!

Best place to find nuts & bolts of all kinds even set screws. I use them for my Radio Control Airplane hobby and they always have the right parts with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Price is really good compared to HomeDepot.

Sockeye Salmon in my Bento Box!!!! Love it!

I read some reviews on Yelp and ordered their Bento box. I was much surprised that it contained sockeye salmon sashimi and sushi as well. The ingredients were very fresh and for the price unbelievable.

They had some very nice looking decorations on the plate of the cactus roll we ordered. Looked like a lantern and a small flower arrangement made from daikon.

We got there at a good time as we were seated there was a line up forming. The table was not wiped too good as it was sticky.

Service was just OK.

Warning! "Eating at Paul's everyday could lead to heart disease but at least you would have died with a greasy smile on your face."

Like I said the best grilled sub in town. I usually take out.

    They still make the best grilled subs in town after all those years on Fraser Street and continuing onto this location. If I am in that mood and I am in the area I would go there. I like their steak sub.

    Leave the MSG at the door please!

    Every now and then you will see Mr. Zhang he seems very humble and friendly.

    Come for dinner it's better in my opinion. They seem to get many take out or delivery orders here.

    This is my new favourite spicy Chinese food place.

    All that flavour without MSG.

    Some items here are just great! I love their Kung Pao  chicken, Mongolian beef and Chicken in Szechuan  sauce.

    They sure put the Pow! into their Kung Pao chicken.

    "Point and peck at menu"

    No MSG (no endless thirsting or headaches latter)

    Unless you can speak Mandarine  your going to have to point and peck at the pics on their menu.
    The 3x I have been here there has been a different server all of which have limited English skills. Some items are only in Chinese and even though I am Chinese Cantonese I cannot read Chinese.

    Consistency is a problem here in many areas. The first time I came here they gave a pork appetizer and potato thread. The next two times peanuts and nothing on the third time. The chicken with szechuan spicy sauce was not the same dish as the first time we ordered it.

    Ginger beef was OK would be better if it was spicier.

    Some items in English  have the same name but believe me they are different in Chinese.

    The overhead heater is too hot for my liking.

    Do not order Lemon chicken here it was totally over cooked and like cardboard.

    Some really tasty items but don't expect to get the same dish you ordered previously.

    You see the Mastercard and Visa logos but it is a cash only place.

3.5 stars!

Hard working couple that makes a nice hot pot. I especially like the broth when you put the lamb and veggies in it, it has a very tasty flavour. I like their Lychee slush. Service was fast on the first round but a bit slow on the second order. When we ordered water, eggs and an extra bowl they were prompt I was satisfied with the service. Overall a good experience I will definitely come back.

This review is for the Postal Service, which is OK most of the time accept one time they made an error and would not help me fix it or acknowledge it.

Tasty accept the portions.

I ordered a salad and Ravioli. The Ravioli was  al dente, and tasty but there was only 5 or 6 of these suckers. Damn lucky I didn't have to pay for it because you know I am going to have to get a second dinner somewhere else. Service was OK and the ambiance was fine but I would not come here again knowing I will leave here hungry in Vancouver.
