Yopo Cafe

Very small but clean restaurant that mostly does take out service. They treated us very nicely since we didn't know this and made accommodations for two of us to dine in. A family run business with everyone being so nice. Had seafood chow mein and beef w peppers and bb sauce. Good food, friendly service and no complaints. Nice location in Yaletown.

Yopo is a small clean Chinese restaurant. Since moving down to this part of town I have never found a Chinese restaurant that was good. My spouse and I have walked past Yopo many times and finally decided to give it a try. As an Asian myself, I am very selective of my Chinese food, so we placed our order to go, I had the fried beef rice noodle dish, and my spouse had the curry beef and vegetables on rice. Oh boy, it was so sooo good!!! plus the portions were on the generous side. Now that we have found a place that's good for Chinese food, we will be back. Took 1 star off because we planned to eat in, but the 1 1/2 table that they had in there was occupied, plus they didn't put out their lunch specials menu, I had to ask them for it. So, the food was very good, service was fast and courteous. Will be our go to for Chinese food.

Always good ! Very clean little take out ! The only place we order or fun eating inside this little nook!

On to the next spot

Yopo was a Yaletown staple for more than a decade, then closed for two years, then reopened under new management and with a different menu. Previously you got premium restaurant-quality food at reasonable pricing, but now you get Yaletown pricing, but the food is equivalent to what you'd receive in a mall food court -- completely lacking the quality and flavour it had under previous ownership. I have given this a few tries because it is so conveniently-located, but it is just simply a shadow of its former self. Really disappointed to have lost this jewel.

The menu online isn't accurate pricing, need to update the menu. They also don't deliver, only delivery is through apps.
Overall the food was good, the lady was super friendly.

UNDER NEW OWNERS! GIVE IT A TRY! Place is small but menu is extensive. Singapore noodles are great. Could get crowded during lunches. It's the only Chinese place for several blocks. Met owner and she is super nice. Already have returned.

I ordered the House Special Chow Mein and it was so delicious! Nice mix of veggies & meats and the flavour was fresh and perfectly tasty. Will definitely be coming back here!

A friend of mine asked me out for dinner here. He had been before, but it was a first for me, even though I live close.

Its a hole in the wall type place, quite small with only a handful of tables. We were greeted and sat down immediately.

I opted for the Dinner special (available 430-830)
Choice of Won Ton or Sweet & Sour Soup
3 spring rolls
Steamed rice
Green Tea Ice Cream

Your choice of entree -Seafood 14.35$ or Veggie, Beef, Chicken or Pork 10.25$

I chose Seafood ( Sauteed Prawns with Snow Peas)

We didn't have very long to wait before the spring rolls arrived, followed by the Won Ton soup. The Won Tons were the freshest I have ever tasted! I totally loved it!

Sping rolls were meh, My prawns & Snow Peas were fresh and cooked to perfection! It was a generous portion, and i took home what I didn't eat along with the steamed rice.

The Green Tea Ice Cream was yummy, but a bit on the small side. However, the entire meal was a great value at under 15$, considering the entree alone was 12.95$

My friend had the Garlic Beef and Guy Lan, and he said he has had that dish all over the world, and it was the best he had ever had.

I am happy to of been turned on to this place. It was fast, fresh, close, decent pricing and staff were nice. I will defiantly return.

A few other things-

They offer free delivery in the evening with minimum purchase of $20.00

They have very inexpensive lunch specials

Check it out if your in the neighborhood!

This place may not look like much but by God is it a diamond in the rough. And it's the fastest takeout I've ever ordered! Consistently ready in 10-15 minutes.

There's a really big variety in dishes, from more authentic to North American Chinese food like orange chicken, lemon chicken, etc.

In particular I am crazy about their soups. The corn chowder is really the egg flour soup with corn and it is mesmerizing. A bowl can serve two people generously, 4-6 people of you want less.

I can't stay away from the shredded pork with eggplant. Generous portions too!

Actually, I haven't had anything that's disappointing. And as I said, the portions are decent!

One particular surprise was the quality of meat. It's not stringy or fatty - really good cuts of chicken and pork. We haven't had seafood or beef yet, because we don't eat beef.

All in all, I would give it a shot. I think you'll love it!
