We finally had a chance to try out Burgers-Etc. Of course we did not get a burger this time round. Rainbowcrab had the smothered fries with pulled pork. She loved it! Raved about the pork, the bbq sauce and the fries. The sauce is sweeter tomato based kind with a good kick.
I had the combo which was on sale for only 13.99$ It came with 2 meats of my choice, fries and coleslaw.
I chose ribs and beef brisket. They were both very good. Tender, good flavour. I like my brisket a bit thicker cut, but still very good. I would go back again for sure.
One draw back of this place, rainbow crab says the woman's washroom is horrid. The door does not create any privacy, as it has a wide gab and does not go below your knees as you sit... HUM...
We went for a nice dinner after work. Unfortunately most of the restaurant had been taken over for a wedding. Only one small area was closed off for the other people. Unfortunately the whole night felt like the other diners were secondary, with no reduction in prices. They should have just closed the place for the night rather than trying to do both. There was no music at all. Then we were treated to the "check check check" of the microphone for 10 minutes. After that we got to listen to rude and unfunny speaches from wedding people. Fun atmosphere for us when we couldn't even see what was going on because of the divider. The small dining room was very open and mostly empty the whole time too . The carpet was stained. Then they came at 7 and said they hoped we didn't want anything else because the kitchen was closing to concentrate on the wedding. Good thing nothing on the small dessert list was interesting.
The food was really very average at best. After reading the reviews here I was hoping for much more - like "fine dining". The salmon burger was not a "burger" but rather a filet (very fishy flavored sockeye) which fell apart and was not coooked properly in the middle. It was supposed to have some very flavourful "aoli" but I could taste nothing but overpowering fish. It was also supposed to have "grilled pineapple" which at this place and price I would expect nicely grilled caramelized pineapple - NOPE a slice from a can warmed up on a flat top. I was not a fan - it was over $14. The chicken burger similarily was a chicken piece with brie and avocado which should have been delicious but didn't work. It was not finished. Fries were average to BORING.
I did not find the reviews for this place accurrate at all. Perhaps it would be better if you sat outside on a sunny day and just drank.
Ordered breakfast here with co-workers, usual stuff - bacon and eggs, etc. One fellow complained the bread tasted sour/stale. Well, something was off to be sure as everyone was feeling ill within a few hours afterwards.
Service was not very efficient and the place was empty. Loud, blaring TV's on with the Price Is Right describes the ambiance.
Phoned in for takeaway....but our order was misplaced!
A good 50 minutes later to add to the insult not only were we given the wrong order but also the entree was straight out of the fridge.
We did not realize this until we started eating the food which was stone cold.
Needless to say completely put us off eating the meal.
Would not go back.
This is not authentic Japanese food. Some looked like Korean style and the flavours were not authetic. I think they boast of their Kamameshi and other restaurants don't make it, but it is very bland and can be better duplicated by putting your own cuts of meat and veges into your rice cooker- better value, too. too bad. Disappointed. Will not go there again. I went there with a Japanese friend and we have never gone back.
Went out for brunch with my friends on a weekday afternoon. The service was really good, no complaints there. I got a pick-a-pancake combo which comes with two pancakes, two eggs, two bacon strips or sausages and hash browns. The food was pretty good, but nothing I couldn't make at home. So for about $12 I could have made more food at home but for a day out with friends it was okay value, there are more expensive restaurants with smaller portions. The pancakes are delicious and I love all the syrups they have to choose from. Would come here again, but not more then twice a year because it's honestly too much to spend on breakfast food you could easily make yourself at home.
Last Saturday I was craving pasta .
I had not been to Anton's for few years now. I used to go there a lot but since I moved away from the area it was not easy to get there , anyhow , I decide to go and have a big dish of pasta. But to my surprise it was not as good as I remember it . Maybe since I have tried many good restaurant in town , my taste had changed or maybe we have such a wide variety of good food and restaurants in our town now .
It defiantly filled me up but I still am in search of better pasta bar.
ok, first, my review is based from nostalgia and also value.
this place is not expensive and so my expectations for their quality, variety and food style will also be in line with the price you pay which is only $11 for lunch and $15 for dinner.
this is a hearty buffet, with down to earth, non-pretentious cooking.
dont expect five star, fancy gourmet. the foods they push out are very basic, but they do it very well.
fried chickens, fries, king a la cart, etc - your basic comfort foods.
the quality is good, fresh but because of the ingredients sitting on the hot plates, it doesn't matter how fresh they start, eventually the heat will take its toll.
you go to uncle willy for the atmosphere and old-fashioned canadian / american cooking, you know the kind you see in family magazines back in the 80's - corn bread, pasta, stuff that's on the fresh prince and the cosby's.
roast beef, cakes, ice cream, salads, your usual food court fares, but just slightly better.
good place to try, but definitely not for the picky eaters.
Ok, so I used a Group for this place, therefore got $15 off my food. But I have to admit, that even without the Groupon it was still a pretty good deal.
I came in on Tuesday the 7th of May right when the pub opened. It was empty, but what do you expect on a Tuesday morning?
I went and sat at the upper part of the pub / restaurant and my waitress of course give me a while to look at the menu. Since I had the groupon, I had decided to order both entree and an appetizer.
For Appetizer, I rodered the buffalo chicken wings, and for entree I ordered a double burger (Light Mayonaisse) and fries and a Pepsi to drink. My appetizer of wings came out first and I thought they were delicious. They were average price. It was good.
When my entree came I was pleasantly surprised. The beef patties were huge....I was really suprised and they were flavourful....just honest to goodness delicious.....I couldn't even finish it off and had to take a quarter of it home. I couldn't believe how good the food was here.
Regular price would had been just under $28, but paid only $15 with the Groupon. I was happy and the service was great too. Will definatly return
Arrived with my wife at 8pm. Encouraged to see two large tables of Chinese diners evidently enjoying themselves. Ordered a set menu for $65 per head. For this we expected something really nice. Starter was mediocre. Main was not much better. While we were eating, the waiter brought a large trolley and cleared the 16 place settings from the next table onto the trolley. This trolley with dirty dishes and slop bucket remained next to our table for 20 minutes until we eventually complained and it was removed. At about 9:15 we each received a bowl of sweetened lentils/beans which we had not ordered. It was not to our taste and we did not eat it. We waited until 10 pm for our final 2 courses - a mango pudding and fresh fruits. These did not come and we finally asked for the bill. We explained that we could wait no longer and asked for an adjusted bill. It was reduced by $4 per person. We were told that the sweet lentils had been substituted for fresh fruit and that the mango pudding was priced at $4. No tip I'm afraid ...
We've been regular customers for many years (it used to be called Original Tandoori, I think) and the food has always been great. Service is friendly (we've eaten in but usually take out) and the premises is clean and neat. Free parking outside. The usual standards are wonderful (Butter Chicken, Biyarni, Tandoori, etc). My only peeves is, lately, the Kachumber Salad has almost been reduced to just cut up onions and carrots. There used to be more vegetables and it had a tartier taste. Also the Peshwari Nan used to have raisins and nuts and was a sweet, delightful bread but lately it just has coconut flakes.
Not sure if there was a change in the chef or what but bring back the old receipes and we're good.
Thanks!
First of all, I have to say that the servers gave excellent service. They are attentive and welcoming. For their food, I won't say it is outstanding but nothing went wrong. The portion is a bit small for a small size pho. Their noodle soup tastes just right, not too salty. Their interior looks more modern than most Pho restaurants and feels cleaner. I will definitely go back and try more items.
Been meaning to come in and try this place as it opened last month and it was the closest pho place to our new home. We were seated as soon as we came in (in fact, the waitress was taking another customer's order and cut them off mid-order to seat us... great for us but not so great for that other customer, I'm guessing). The place had the typical waterfall pictures up on the walls like most pho places do but it was a lot darker in there than other pho places. Usually, it's very brightly lit but this place seemed to be on the darker side. Perused the menu and found that prices were on the more expensive side than the typical pho place (for $1.75, I would expect my can of pop to be the brand name Coke or Pepsi but we got a Western Family Coke instead). I ordered the usual beef pho and was disappointed. The order came with plenty of green onions and very little cilantro (which is perfect for me) but the soup was definitely off. It didn't have the taste of the beef soup that you get at places like Pho Tan or Mui Ngo Gai. It was a bit on the salty side and tasted like the winter melon soup that you get at Chinese restaurants. The worst part of the whole experience was that later that night, I got a terrible stomach ache and then had diarrhea afterwards. Not fun at all. And I know for sure it was from eating here because the pho was the only thing I had eaten that day. Next time, we'll definitely make the extra effort and drive a little further to a better pho place.
Went with a party group. Almost everyone ordered Indian food. I was not sure of the quality so I went with a cheese burger. The Indian food smelled good and came mostly with rice, naan and salad. All the salads, including the one with the burgers came predrizzled with a shocking orange color dressing that was not very good. It might have been mango? I did not like it.
Most people said the Indian food was “alright “ or “okay”. Not a rousing verdict. The burger was “okay” and the person who had the veggie burger said it was “alright”. I guess that sums the whole thing up.
The only bright spot was the french fries - they were above average - nicely done.
One sour note was that they provided the organizers with a “take out” menu that was scanned and sent around our office to preorder. They didn’t tell you that the “special of the day”was only for take out and no where on the menu did it say that. A LOT of people ordered the special of the day and then were shocked to find their entree cost about $4 more than they expected. When that was pointed out, the waitress just blew off as “too bad for you” and made no attempt to remedy it.
For that reason alone we will not have another party there.
DO NOT ORDER FOR DELIVERY FROM THIS PLACE! First the driver forgot half of our order and then when we phoned the restaurant the owner yelled at us and hung up!! Horrible customer service. The food that did come was soggy and barely edible. Spend your money elsewhere...this place doesn't deserve it.
When I first came in to this restaurant, back in 2008, it was my favourite buffet restaurant; however, today, it is not worth it to dine in anymore for a number of reasons. First, Dirty place especially the washroom. Second, Food is not good, because, for me, all their food tastes the same. Finally, there is no smile on the employees' faces.
Conclusion: I will only come here if someone will pay for me, and their steamed food is good, actually.
Agreed with many of the reviews above.
Service was okay coz we are the only table there at 6:30pm on a weekday. We ordered the deluxe combo for just under $28 and it came with just salmon and tuna sashimi and for the sushi..salmon, tuna, egg for a "deluxe" combo? the sashimi was not cut right.. it's chewy. We also ordered a chicken yakisoba and even my 2 year old son would not eat it. We have to go home and make dinner for him.
We ordered a 7 piece deep fried oyster but just 5 came. So the dinner cost us around $48 and we have 5 sushi and 2 pieces of sashimi left. This is the first Japanese restaurant that we have left over sashimi/sushi. I felt so bad for asking my husband to try this restaurant instead of White spot coz last time I went there at lunch time, it was full and the takeout order takes 20 mins so I didn't order due to my 1/2 hr lunch time.
So...I won't suggest this restaurant for anyone who looks for good Japanese food.
After a bad experience at a different Chinese restaurant months ago, I was a little uneasy about going out for Chinese again...but we did. I was so impressed with this place! Almost afraid to let you all know about it. I think it "our place" for Chinese moving forward.
If you care about fancy decor then you should know this is an older restaurant. It is very basic inside...and that was ok for us.
If you care about the food, value, and service, then I can say this rivals some of the best Chinese food places in Vancouver. (A rating of 4 stars on here means "outstanding" and it was!) The server was very friendly and helpful. She helped us order the "right" amount of food. The food arrived hot, tasty and not over-cooked. You could just tell it was "fresh" because it didn't have that dingy taste you get at the more questionable places. Each plate had a clear flavour that you expected. Maybe it cost a tiny bit more for some selections on the menu but not enough to make a difference. We were willing to pay that extra dollar or two gladly when everyone enjoyed the variety, freshness, and flavours! At this place, volume did not compromise quality. We were very full and satisfied when we left.
I noticed there were a lot of people picking up food for "take-out dinner" on our way in but it did not affect our experience. We did not have to wait very long at all for our food despite the take-out orders.
It is a casual, family-friendly restaurant and we can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu! The dining room is not huge so I would suggest reservations just to be safe.
The Anniversary Menu was a good 5-course tasting menu and was $150 for two, plus tax, plus automatic 15% gratuity. The service was that of a top-notch fine dining establishment and the gratuity was well-deserved. The ambiance was very nice and cozy. A beautiful orchid and "candle" made it feel elegant. The plates, cutlery, glasses were all very nice and the white linens added that extra level of sophistication. The food was very flavourful, well-balanced, and beautiful to look at. Each course was like a piece of artwork. The background was nice -- white plates and the food colours popped. You can tell this Chef knows what he is doing because everything was perfect.
The only problem was, all the portions were small -- very small. When we got to the dessert, we realized we were still hungry and wondered if dessert would be enough. The creme brulee was delicious, rich, heavier and more "filling". I would not have wanted a bigger serving of the dessert. However, after spending over $200 (added two cheaper glasses of wine), you want to leave feeling satisfied (not "full" but "satisfied"…and certainly not "hungry") even at a "fine dining" establishment. It really would have only taken just a little bit more here and there to fill the void. Maybe even a little more brioche, or some bread, a few more pieces of veggies, a touch more salmon? Instead, we left happy with the flavours and experience but still hungry. So…dinner was followed by a visit to the coffee shop to grab a scone, muffin, and lattes. My advice? Have an early evening "snack" before you go! It is "fine" dining and in this case it does mean less (really tasty & pretty) food at a bigger price.
Check it out.
Yes this subway is number one!
I will never stop eating there on my lunch break from work near by.
All the girls working there are great but one named "ROSE" is what makes this place number one.
She is the best worker I have ever seen...organized... multitask-er, efficient and makes the best sandwiches ever. Very friendly and personable.
Many people from my work go there and love the service and food.
She has been there the longest and I hope she stays and they give her a huge raise!
I have seen a line up out the door at lunch time and when Rose is there that line up moves along so fast.
I have even emailed Subway head office about her.
I don't know her personally only just when I go for lunch. :)
Rose is a 'true sandwich artist" and the other employees that work along with her are good to.
Thank you Rose.
Adam Wakely...
