Been here a few times now. Never disappointed. Great coffee, snacks, soup etc. Loved the steamed milk. Friendly staff and very obliging. Great little program for kids, crafting etc. Pricing is affordable for what you get. A great little find for Pitt Meadows, easy access.

Too bad this restaurant does not seem to have its own website; it was rather difficult to expect from this restaurant after reading good reviews online. This review is based on dinner service for two people.

Situated in business/downtown area of Pitt Meadow, it was quite easy to find the place, just off Harris Road, although the street sign says 122 Ave, not 122A Avenue.

Food: One of the best tasting French bistro style food in Greater Vancouver. First you get a complimentary small place of fried wonton and tapanade with a dip. While they are good, I would prefer regular bread service. Next, ceasar salad is served with slightly charred romaine lettuce, light dressing and some really high quality smoked bacon. They have other usual appetizers such as fried coconut prawns, house salad, cold cut platter, lobster bisque.. etc.. The entrees were equally nice, tarragon chicken breast with truffle risotto and vegetarian ravioli. The risotto was truly amazing in terms of texture of the rice and the aroma from truffle oil. The creamy sauce for the ravioli was decadent while being not too heavy. Other options are rib eye steak, chicken pasta, halibut, etc. Desserts are good (definitely above average), but not as good as the salads and entrees, which are 5 stars, It is very typical of small bistros who rarely have a pastry chef, although I am not sure if this place does. The menu seems to change quite frequently.Portions were reasonable, slightly small. Definitely not generous; I would definitely need all appy, entree and dessert to get full. I just wished there was 10~15% more food, couple more bites..

Ambiance: typical bistro setting: dim, simple, inviting, and warm. Can even be romantic if you sit right next to the fireplace. But there seems to be very limited space in the kitchen. Some corners of diningroom and bar area are used as cool and dry storage.

Value: Appetizers range from $8 to $11, entrees $17 to $27, and dessert $8 to $11. A la carte pricing is reasonable, although desserts are a bit aggresively priced. It would be very nice to see a three-course option in $29 to $34 price range, which I see a lot in Vancouver.

This would be a very nice restaurant for Pitt Meadow and Maple Ridge residents. During my visit, I spent $68 (for 1 app, 2 entree, 2 desserts) before taxes and tips. I thought that was a bit expensive, being spoiled by so many great deals in Vancouver due to competition. I can easily get a good quality three course dinner for $29 at a bistro setting in Vancouver. Sounds bad?? But at Firehall Bistro, you get a great quality (instead of good) three course dinner for $35~40 (that's why I wished there was 15% more food). In addition, the restaurant is clean, kitchen is clean, and all cooks and chefs are dressed properly. So pricing-wise, this restaurant sits somewhere between bistro and upcaled/fine dining with great quality food, rightfully and strongly. Will go back. The lunch menu seems to offer better deal.

I visit this restaruant once or twice a week - they have great food you can depend on with great service. With take out or dine in the service is always fast and friendly. Prices are reasonable with many options. You would be crazy to eat anywhere else in the area.

Any excuse to see if someone on the West Coast can make a proper Donair - Halifax style. I haven't found one yet until Royal Donair. The perfect sweet sauce and loads of meat! What more do I need to say.... The only thing better is King of Donair on Grafton Street, Halifax. This is my new donair shop - late night or not....

I agree with the other reviewer - definitely check out the Pumpkin Love special.
The great thing about this little place is their creativity. They're always inventing new specials and trying new combinations. This is not the same old sushi you can get anywhere else. You're guaranteed to find something new each time you go in and I have yet to try something I haven't enjoyed. I even liked the sashimi, which I tend to avoid anywhere else. The service is not drive-thru fast - if you're planning a drive by hit and run lunch, you'd be better off at Tim Horton's - but it's friendly and personable and always welcoming. And the smiles from the little local shop atmosphere are way more genuine. ^_-
I whole heartedly recommend this place as my favourite go-to take out sushi restaurant.

Al-

My SO and I have dined here 3 times in the last 2 months; following on the recomendation of a co-worker.

Very happy with this place. An interesting variety of rolls on the menu. All have tasted excellent / fresh / crunchy / etc. Salmon sashimi is first class. Nice tea and soup too.

Each time we order way too much food, and get out for $50 with tip. I think Sango offers very good value and look forward to dining there again this week!

It has been years and I mean years since we have visited this restaurant. Probably 8 or 9 years ago we were regulars but after a slow and steady slide in everything from food to service to cleanliness we just stopped going. In fact we were not even sure that they were still there until an aquantance mentioned they were there recently as that it was wonderful. We stopped in without a reservation and although they were fairly busy had no problem fitting us in after a several minute wait at the door waiting for someone to appear. Although the area of the building that the restaurant is located is the same we can't say much else is. Obviously the room has had an overhaul at some point because it is much nicer than we remembered it. Not ultra stylish but very nice for the suburbs.

Service was actually quite great with a ton of smiles throughout the night. Everything was professional and quick. It is not the type of restaurant where the servers sound like cooks the server struggled slightly with the pronunciation of some of the specials, but that was not a huge deal for us. It is Pitt Meadows after all.

The food was really quite spectacular however, much better than we expected. Dishes were well presented thoughtful and portioned just right. Seriously the restaurant that we new this place to be from the old days would not have had venison carpaccio or smoked mushroom risotto both of which were fantastic. We also had on that night a tomato and cheese salad that was very good as well as a simple prime rib that was out of this world. The wine list was slightly more extensive than need be in my opinion how many people out in that neck of the woods need over 100 wines spread over 4 pages to choose from but I guess if thats your thing you would appreciate it.

Prices were very fair for what you get not cheap but cheaper than many other places of an equal experience.
Now they seem like they are back from the dead we will go back for sure.

We made a reservation for our parents' combined birthday dinner on the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant is tucked away on a side street, and we almost missed it. We were greeted very warmly and professionally. The level of service remained that way the entire night, consistently across all of the staff. Some large chains could definitely take pointers from the relaxed, fine-dining spirit of the service. The menu was small and perfectly executed. The canapes to start were delicious and unexpected. The wines were tasty and reasonably priced. Our appetizers were perfect -- one person commented that the prawns were the best he had ever had. The entrees were beautiful, interesting and delicious. Nothing was rushed, the staff were very attentive, and the restaurant had the buzz of contented patrons. My sister had lived nearby for two years and said she'd wished she'd known it was there earlier, because she would have been a regular guest.

I can only fault them for a few typos and spelling mistakes on the menu. I was the only member of our party who cared!

Give it a try: it's worth the drive!

Great food, but for the price I would have expected far better service. The condecending, rude, and snarky behaviour of the main waiter, spoils the wonderful food created by the chef and the cosey atmosphere of the restaurant. Unfortunately for the hardworking chef, my party and I will not be returning to this establishment.

Sat at the bar last night wanting to catch the Canuckleheads opener and have a bite.

Food. Just ordered a burger and fries with no pickle. Came quickly, but with pickle (LOTS of pickle). They re-made it (including the fries, which was good). Burger was decent, fries were a little tasteless. Nothing special at all, wouldnt order it again.

Service. Super nice bartender guy, but messed up the order, didn't bring cutlery or salt and pepper and I have a bit of a pet peeve with hipster employees talking to me like I'm 20 (I'm not). Waited too long for the bill, etc. Overall, about what you expect when you sit at a bar to eat.

Value. A little cheaper than I would have thought.

Ambiance. Nice and clean enough, but when you are trying to be a sports bar, have some decent tv's and audio. People expect it nowadays. Left after the first period to watch it on my much better home tv.

Will probably go back at its close.
