My cousin and I had driven by here many times..and past it while heading to Antons. Should have tried this place earlier but a groupon led us here. We arrived at opening for lunch and were greated by a very polite,smiling fellow named Nick who enlighteded me about there restaurant.He had purchased the equipment and furnishings from a previous Mexican fare restaurant at this location..He was so proud and hospitable about his new place, We really hope it will be a success. Bright cheery Mexican atmosphere,with the Mexican blankets adorning the place and soft music..Actually reminded me of a restaurant we tried in Puerto Vallarta a few years back..and loved. The Burrito Cynthia ordered was huge,and she said it was awesome. I had the tortillas with Chorizo and Cheese...was delicious..basic, and tasty.Oscar was the waiter who brought our food,pleasant young man also..now that they serve liquor , Corona and Nachos will have me here during Hot summer nights..on occasion. Apparently they have authentic live music also,not sure which nights. Menu is reasonably priced..we will definetly be back. Johnathan and Cynthia.
I heard about X-Site Grill and Bistro from a friend, so I went to check the place out. I arrived just after 5: 00 pm. When I walked in and sat down. It was clean, and the menu had lots to choose from, how ever I chose a cheese burger. It arrived at my table in less then 10 minutes, and was great. This Bistro has a good full menu, with dinner specials, and also a family type atmosphere with many repeat ( regular ) customers. Good prices, and good value,,,, I will be back soon to experience another food item,,,,, reviewed by, Allan Cassidy.
A friend had this delivered to his place... figured meh because usually smaller pizza joints you get that generic boring stuff.
I was super surprised!!!
This place was strictly Chicago deep dish kinda gourmet style. Good thing because the toppings were piled crazy high. Was really good, some of the best pizza I've had in a long time.
Check it out if you are close, I really wish they had a spot downtown I could get delivery.
I'm compelled to write another review for this place after a recent not-so-great dining experience.
Food quality and prices are still pretty good, but service is HORRIBLE. Our waitress got our order wrong, blamed us when we told her the order was incorrect, then walked off with no apology. We had to ask at least four times to have our tea refilled.
It does not cost any more to have polite, attentive wait staff. This used to be my go-to sushi place in Burnaby, but I have no plans on coming back any time soon.
I have lived all over Canada, and Boston Pizza has been one of my favourite places to go out with friends for a casual dinner. I can honestly say this location is extremely comfortable and welcoming. The service is what really makes them stand out... I was at Boston Pizza in Coquitlam last week and I have never met a more unfriendly, rude hostess... When I came to Boston Pizza Brentwood today, the hostess greeted me and asked me how my day was and I instantly new I would be getting quality service.
The food here was exactly how it looked on the menu - delicious! and I even had food leftover to take home (Which rarely happens as I am a cow!!)
Overall, this restaurant completely embodies their slogan "we're here to make you happy"
Went there twice against my better judgement. The first time I had milk shake that tasted like water. The second time was absolutely horrible as the older gentlemen serving the ice cream was lacking basic manners and does not belong in the customer service business. Will not go there again and definitely would not recommend.
For anyone who wrote a bad review about this place..... maybe they were just being very rude with the restaurant as this place is awesome and staff are very friendly people. As for someone saying they are from Japan and have tried best sushi.... maybe this is Vancouver??? not Japan. What kind of comment is that. Obviously there will be better sushi in Japan.
Anyways would tell what a good place is for sushi in Vancouver? just curious cause I loved their brown rice sushi... best i've tried in vancouver!!!
I have been a customer for many years now. Absolutely love the pasta, I always get the same meal but it never fails to impress. A seafood fettuccini, definitely my favourite. Service has always been fairly good, average.
The only thing that disappoints is that they don't advertise their hours of operation online, when they aren't answering their phones it can be very inconvenient. They should make up a website advertising the hours and menu in my opinion. Other than that I would definitely recommend this place.
Went in to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday at around 8pm. we immediately got our table and our waiter, Ted, was friendly and attentive. After the initial intro, we got our drinks and told Ted we were here to celebrate a birthday. We all ordered the classic dinners which came with salads and the main course. The salads came fast but the kitchen took too long to get our food ready (there were only 4 of us and the dining area had a few emptied tables)
The salads were seasoned and sauced just right. The steaks Steaks were cooked to perfection with enough juice and seasoning but the vegis were bland and undercooked and the zucchinis were bitter. The baked potatoes were great but the size seemed to have shrunk.
After our meals were finished Ted came back with a free piece of mocha ice cream cake for my mother-in-law. Awesome way to end the night for a special occassion.
If the food came out faster (considering it wasn't too busy for a Sunday night) and the vegis were cooked and seasoned more, then I would have given this Keg a better rating. Again our server was outstanding and his service made the food more bearable.
Email to management:
I was ordering coffee and I ordered a double double, 3 creams and the cashier says double double what? She was smiling but I sensed the frustration and the anger in her face/voice. Maybe you should remind her that you sell COFFEE?? First part of the training regimine should be to watch the commericials where you can pick up the lingo? Maybe memorize it?
I also have a VISA debit card. The cashier does not ask me if it is Debit or Credit and she assumed Credit, even though I had informed her I wanted to pay with DEBIT. It did not go through so the second female rips up my receipt WITHOUT asking if I might want it for my records. I was THOUROUGHLY PISSED off with the attitude and rudeness of both SERVERS. Maybe explain to these two individuals that Tim Horton's is about CUSTOMER SERVICE.
One more thing, my "server" was pouring me coffee and even though there was coffee available, she pauses - makes her CUTOMER wait - as she opens another packet of coffee before she pours the last cup. She did not do that for the white customer. Yes I am brown skinned and I understand you just stopped listening because there is no racism in Canada right. Oh. Unless you are not white. Now you can dismiss my complaint as another one of "those" people making a fuss. Ignore the fact that she IGNORED me as she opened a packet of coffee grounds while a quarter pot was in front of her. The same pot that she eventually used to pour my coffee once she was done making me wait. Maybe it weas not racism, but a complete lack of CUSTOMER SERVICE knowledge.
I expect better service from Tim Horton's personnel. I expect to be treated with respect. Neither individual treated me with respect.
After a quick search online, I see that more than 1 individual has problems with this location. Seems this is an incredibly slow location. Not a surprise that there are others who have problems with this location.
Next time, I will go elsewhere because I want nothing to do with this location or these two staffers.
It is hard to find a good Japanese Restaurant in Burnaby, always have to go to Downtown or Richmond for some good Japanese food with great service. Finally, there is Sushi S.
It is located right across Willingdon Church and BCIT, not a bad location. I have passed by Sushi S numerous times, it doesn't look very attractive from the outside, so I thought it is just another typical sushi joint. Until I saw the rating on Urbanspoon, it has 100% likes, then I knew I have to try it out.
Food: Very fresh sashimi, sushi. Green Salad with popcorn (deep fried scallops) was wonderful, the salad dressing was good and the popcorn on the green was a great combination. The Volcano Roll was awesome: nice presentation, it was lightly deep fried, so it had a little crunch, yet the cream cheese inside gave it a creamy texture along with the real crab, avocado etc. a good portion of spicy tuna mounted on top of the "volcano", very yummy.
The Ika karaage disappointed me a little bit. It looked really good but the batter was not crunchy and tasted bland without the thai sweet chili sauce.
Miso soup was okay. Some AYCE restaurants make better miso soup.
hope they will improve on their kitchen food. But the sushi was terrific, and that is the most important thing in a Japanese restaurant.
Service: Superb! Servers were really friendly, always smiled. Prompt service, went the extra mile to make customers happy!!! My sisters and I were really impressed.
Value: Reasonable prices with great food and service. a 5!!!
Ambiance: really bright and spacious inside, a really comfortable setting.
Overall: VERY impressive. Especially the service and the sushi, maybe it is because they are still a new restaurant? I dont know. I really hope they can keep up the good work even when they get busier later. I will definitely go back soon, and recommend Sushi S to all my friends.
I went there with a friend Saturday night, I got almost no food for my money, service was very poor and wouldn't give us more soup in our pot...she laughed and said, it's an extra charge...
We only received a few pieces of veggies, the soup was bland, the ambience, just too many waiters and managers staring at us, not sure why, they should have spent more time working on serving decent food with taste.
This is NOT hot pot, this is a north american version, if you're Asian like myself, don't bother.
We actually had to go out to eat afterwards to fill ourselves up.
i have never been to a restaurant that suppose to be fine dining, with food that was so bad.i expected a lot more for the food especially with the price. Don't get me wrong the view was beautiful, but i rather enjoy the view from outside. We order the calarmi which cost $12 but it was the worst calarmi i have ever tasted. it had no taste ! event the dipping sauce had no taste. then our group of friends order a bunch of entrees. they are all so bad. the steak had no taste. there was no seasoning to the steak. they gave two little baked potatoes that were cut into half pieces with a few small carrots. the potatoes had no taste. worst steak dish ever for $33 dollars are u kidding me. That dish was my bf which i tasted. My dish was the lamb shank. the best part was the smash potatoes otherwise the lamb shank had no taste either. that was barely any veg. they gave me like three pieces of tiny carrots. The lamb was so disappointing, i even make better lamb at home. My other friend order the salmon, the rice was over cooked and over buttered. all u could taste was the butter! no flavor ! we didnt bother tasting dessert because at that point i was so disappointed already. my sugguestion is that if you want fine dining and willing to pay that kind of price for food go somewhere else don't waste your money! if you want to see the view just go up there for the view it has a park on the outside. i'm sorry to say but there was a family having a pinic out the restaurant and their sandwiches looked better then our food.
Simply put the Pear Tree is one of the finest restaurants in town. The tasting menu we had was exquisite. The flavours were all so well balanced and the presentation was very pleasing. The service superb also. Well done Chef Jaeger and staff! We had dined at the Pear many years ago and have not returned since. Big mistake as this is definitely a must go to restaurant despite it's location.
Me and my wife went to metro town to celebrate mom's day, we had planned to eat at a Japanese resto since she was craving for shrimp tempura. We have always been dining to Daimasu ( which is a very good place ) whenever we wanted japanese food but since we are already tired we opt to dine at Kawawa Japanese resto. and going to Kawawa was the worst restaurant we had eaten as far as i can remember.
We ordered Tempura Boat and Salmon teriyaki. Salmon teriyaki came out first and we have to wait for another 20 minutes for our second order to come.since we don't want to eat one at a time we waited for the next order to come out of the kitchen.it was not at all busy but the food came out so long. The food has no taste at all and the tempura seems like old.
Worst is that the server nor the manager didn't check us out after they delivered the food,never refill tea or water. NO SERVICE AT ALL.
On our check out our server was cutting orange wedges on the front of the house and didn't even thank us after we pay the bill. All she wants to know is if we had give tips on my visa. The host left the counter after she handed us the credit card machine and didn't bother to check if the payment was approved or not since she never came back to check.
NEVER EVER COME ON THIS PLACE, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
I am very disappointed that they have eliminated the combos. Now, you will need to order your burger and fries seperately. The only combos they have, are the kids menu combos and the special of the day.
I was there and ordered the kids burger combo, because I find that the burgers there are a little too big for me. The lady told me "is it for you ma'am? If so, you can't do that, we can offer you the fat burger, it's the same", but you can't order it as a combo, everything seperate. And then, I the portions for the onion rings are half the size of what they use to be.
Very disappointed. Never going back.
My family has been picking up birthday cakes here over the last 30 years or so. The cakes are good, all purpose crowd pleasers. They aren't too rick and sweet, not too bland. My favourite is the vanilla, with the layer of custard and the buttercream layer and icing. Mmmmmmm.
My husband called ahead today and asked for a 7" cake (feeding 10 people). They said that they had one left, with pink roses on. My seven year old (whose birthday we were celebrating) is pretty relaxed about pink and roses, so my husband went ahead and ordered it.
When he arrived to pick up, the clerk looked at the pink roses and asked my husband if my son had a favourite interest or sport. My son happens to like Thomas the Train and when my husband advised of this - the clerk advised that they could put some Thomas decorations over the roses to make it more custom for a boy's birthday and make it special for my son in particular.
The Thomas decorations were added and the cake looks great.
I really appreciated the quick thinking clerk and her initiative.
Also, as a side note - a friend was recently looking for specialty cakes (Pokemon). She was quoted $80 for a 6 inch cake from a DIFFERENT bakery. She had trouble finding a bakery which would do a themed cake (and would not charge her an arm and a leg). I would recommend Valley Bakery to her as our 7 inch cake (which was made themed for us) was around $25. It is worth a visit to see what they have if needing a cake for a children's party and special order something.
I go there for their fresh pancakes. The aroma is incredible, you can really smell the real ingredients. The pancakes are fluffy and perfectly golden brown. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Never going to IHOP for pancakes again. Give it a try, it's definitely worth it if you love pancakes.
I really write reviews but the manager of this restaurant was so rude and terrible, I felt it was my duty! He insisted that the voucher I had purchased had expired despite the fact that it clearly stated that 2013 was tge expiry. He was unapologetic - and incredibly rude. Don't ever go here!!
As mentioned above, this restaurant is operated by Korean people. This is not an issue for me, but to my surprise, this place is rated pretty high for what they could offer.
I had ordered an Uni cone and it was not fresh, but the sad part of it, is that the seaweed was soggy. I also ordered the tempura udon. The soup was full of MSG, but the tempura was battered with stale breadcrumbs and fried in old oil. I was a little taken back.
The spicy tuna roll was small, but also with sobby seaweed. Then, to top it all off, the Don Katsu Don, was also breaded with stale breadcrumbs.
The house was kinda cute, and the service was okay, but I can't see myself returning here for another dining experience.
