I used to eat here years ago whenever I was in Vancouver. The ramen was excellent, and great value. But now they took a nose dive. The ramen just doesn't taste as good anymore...
Service can be quick or slow, it depends what time you get there.
Even though it doesn't taste as good, you'll be full for less than $10.
Decor is so-so... I prefer to see the chefs actually working like at Benkei or Kintaro.
I've been here twice and both times:
Ramen wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I ordered the miso ramen.
Service was quick and friendly, drinks were filled up before they were empty.
Good value for money... for less than $10 you will walk away full.
The decor was okay.
You get a stamp card as well... buy 10, get 1 free.
Maybe I'll come back if I'm in the area.
The food here is great. I had some sashimi and rice, while my friend ordered the teriyaki chicken.
I was kind of disappointed with our portions though... it tasted good but there just wasn't enough for the price.
Service is solid, can't complain.
The decor is nice... they even have a tatami room (which you might want to reserve) for larger groups.
There are places where the food is just as good for a cheaper price.
Bubble tea is good, nothing to complain about. The service is always quick. You get a buy 10 get 1 free stamp card.
The last time I went into Pearl Fever, I saw they had a new dessert section... tiramisu, etc. I guess that's a good idea but when I go to a bubble tea place I go there for the bubble tea.
Like Bubble World (on the other side of Coquitlam), it's packed on Friday / Saturday nights.
I like the atmosphere there. The thing that really stands out is the mini-chalkboard on the wall. Sometimes there are interesting drawings.
First off, if you go in on a Saturday night like I did, there are TONS of Asian teenagers inside... seems like a favourite local hangout.
The service was pretty fast considering how many orders there were, and the bubble tea was good. You get a stamp card... buy 10, get 1 free.
Interesting decor / atmosphere as well.
This place is comparable to Pearl Fever.
This place was formerly known as Fujiya. I guess it changed owners or something, but nevertheless the sushi-cafe's food is still very good.
Service and ambience, what can I say? It's not a restaurant, just a place to get some good Japanese food.
It's a small cafe with take-out available. I go here for the take-out. There's a Japanese food store in the same building, so while I wait for the food, I do a little shopping in here if need be.
I've been to this place a few times now, and everything has been consistent.
Service can be a little bit slow if the restaurant is packed, but it is always friendly.
The food is good, but the spring rolls are the best thing on the menu.
The restaurant has a cozy feel to it.
I can't really find much to complain about, and I will be returning again. Go support this small, local restaurant next time you're in the area!
I finally went to this hot dog stand after hearing the reviews of this place. I was hesitant to go, since I am not a big hot dog fan, but I can honestly say this was the best hot dog I have ever had.
I recommend the terimayo. They use teriyaki and mayonnaise instead of the regular mustard and ketchup, and I know, it sounds weird, but ends up tasting great. I liked it so much I had another one. It cost $4.25.
Service was quick and friendly.
Obviously there isn't going to be much atmosphere since this is a hot dog stand, but it's fun to look around at what other people are eating (they sit down close to the stand).
On a side note, this place had a small sign that said they would be closed from around November 19th to January 31st of next year. These might not be the exact dates, but the thing to remember is that they are closed for the winter.
This is the restaurant that I eat at the most often, and it never disappoints.
Service is always quick and friendly, but a reservation is a good idea on weekends, since it is a rather small place.
Food is very good, definitely the best sushi in the area.
One can get a private tatami room (a reservation is a must). The main seating area has tables that are quite close to each other. Also, there are bar / counter seats where one can watch the chef make sushi.
The portions are always large, very good for your money. I always order the ginger beef. Food is served quickly, always within twenty minutes or less.
As expected from a diner, there's not much atmosphere.
Service is all right, nothing out of the ordinary.
Ordered a pizza, and it arrived barely warm. Aside from that, it didn't taste very good, and the cheese was rubbery. A little disappointing.
Everything else was good, service, ambiance, etc. The other people at my table seemed to enjoy their meal.
I had the misfortune of eating there a few months ago.
The waiters looked very uninspired; a reviewer aptly called them "zombies". It was difficult to get their attention sometimes.
The sushi is not good at all; Sui Sha Ya obviously does not have a Japanese chef (and if they do, he could use some training).
Possibly a quick bite to eat, but there are better places than this.
The entrance to this restaurant is nice, but once you see the dining area, it is a complete difference.
It is simply a very big room, with no walls separating one section of the room from another; no atmosphere at all. Loud clinking sounds can be heard from all directions, and the customers all talk somewhat loudly because the room is quite lively.
The waiters are worked like slaves; they are constantly running from one table to another, pouring tea, bringing dishes, etc.
The food is nice, and the menu is quite large.
Don't expect a romantic evening.
I went to Akari about nine months ago, and everything was outstanding. However, I went there two weeks ago, and disappointingly, the food has gone downhill. I ordered the deluxe sushi entree, it wasn't bad, but also wasn't great.
Service is still fast like before, and the decorations are the same.
On a side-note, the sign inside the front of the restaurant had Korean text on it, and they had spicy tofu on the menu - this might be a sign that it is not in fact, truly authentic, for all the purists out there (I am not one).
