I love the people who work here - they are so friendly and from talking with them on numerous occasions, they genuinely care about giving customers delicious and healthy vegetarian fare. Oils used are fresh, they are constantly experimenting with different items (just wait and see) and their dimsum is delicious. I love the BBQ (char siu bao) buns -- I've missed them so! With my non-vegetarian friends, the sweet and sour pork is a big hit. I love their 3G salad too! I wouldn't suggest it as a budget-friendly vegetarian place but it sure beats a lot of Vegetarian restaurants in terms of food presentation, taste, quality of ingredients, and service.

It was not that memorable but it's still a place I'd eat at for a quiet dinner (albeit in a large restaurant) with good sashimi, good Korean fare and great service. Try the Korean food here -- there aren't many as good on this side of Vancouver, but I can vouch for this one. Sashimi was generous and prices were very fair!

Went to Hell's Kitchen for brunch and was so disappointed -- they have a breakfast menu consisting of 5-6 different eggs benedict...... but they can't seem to get it right anyway! Both yolks of my poached eggs were cooked through and the other toppings were bland. Service was terrible -- not once were our glasses refilled nor did they check on our table. Getting the cheque took forever. Definitely won't be going back.

This is something quite different and you need to give it a go! All food is raw and often dehydrated. They were recently a small counter-service but now they are an actual restaurant. It is vegan food, by the way.

I really enjoyed the food because it had a very different flavour which my palate enjoyed. It was still simple though -- creative in some ways, but they don't make use of herbs, spices, and the like.

The cost of the food was a bit high for the portion size, I found, and location-wise it's just as hard to find as when it was a counter-service.

The service was kind of nonchalant, but they were still friendly.

I had the raw falafel, which I liked but I was still hungry afterwards. I wanted to try the raw pizza but the crusts had not been prepared yet when I had arrived.

I did love their carob dessert, but most people do prefer chocolate over carob so I may be in the minority. I'm not entirely sure whether the carob can be legitimately considered raw (you can find articles on the veracity of its extraction/processing on the internet).

Try it if you're a raw foodist, and even if you aren't though. I think it's worth getting a feel for.

This is a vegetarian buffet that specializes in South Indian food, and that serves plenty of idli.....

Pros: I love their Dosa. It's served to your table fresh along with naan (they make the rounds, though a bit on the slow side)
The food offered in the buffet is prepared well. Lots of pappadom and everything was delicious!

Service is also good and they're very helpful and friendly (especially if you don't know much about Indian food -- they'll let you know what foods work well with which sauces, rices, naan, etc).

Cons:
Atmosphere is ok, not upscale but very casual.
Limited buffet, compared to the very, very extensive ones I've seen.
Food can sometimes feel a little too greasy for my liking, very homemade-like. Like most buffets, the quality is not nearly as good but there's always plenty to go around.
Naan can take awhile to come around, but hey, you'll get plenty of water in the meantime.

Well, they have the norimaki for the carb-conscious.
It's such a convenient place for a quick lunch with a friend, and it does get quite busy during lunch hours.

I like people-watching here, except that it's Kerrisdale, so after about ten minutes you realize this isn't really an ideal place for people watching anyway.

Food is solid, try to venture out of the normal California rolls and try some speciality rolls -- they're worth it.

This place is great because although the quality can't compete with places like Ajisai, it's a step up from a lot of other ones around the area but not at a hugely inflated cost.

Ambiance is good, clean, and service is unremarkable but reliable. Will come back but not on my own accord.

It was pouring outside in July this year, and it was a little chilly so I stepped inside and had some soup. It was warming and delicious.

The other time I went, I had their salad. Really, there's nothing much to write home about this place, but you can find some great vegetarian options here anyway.

Ambiance: small, and clean. Order at the counter.

Greek food is delicious when it's prepared right -- but the experience here didn't leave much to be desired. It was strange first, that they gave us rolls instead of pita bread, but I didn't think their tzatziki was up to par and I did have a vegetarian meal, which was sort of lackluster.

Maybe it was just an off-day for them, but the server kept approaching our table and rushed us to order. I just didn't find a lot to like about this place.

The food here is delicious, but I think you need to know how to order.

If you have special dietary restrictions, you can ask them to not add any MSG and skip out on the cornstarch (many Asian dishes have cornstarch). The server I had the first time told me that we can make these requests; however, the second time I went and did make those requests, the server (a lady) did not fulfill the requests and I stlil had MSG in my food.

Still, this is great for vegetarian fare, and there are plenty of healthy options for the very health-conscious.

Service can really be in the pits somedays, but one of the male servers is especially friendly and helpful. He's given me so many tips on preparing dishes at home, and even suggestions of new vegetables (like kabocha!) and how to prepare them at home.

Atmosphere is your standard Chiense restaurant -- nothing spectacular.

Went here with some girlfriends and wow -- you will be floored by the deco. Cactus Club really outdid themselves with the ambiance here -- with ceiling high windows, and a really attractive bar area.

The ladies washrooms are sort of amazing... you have
1) a foot pump/button instead of manually flushing or an automatic flusher
2) a tv screen inside your stall
3) a private stall that is more than adequately sized
4) a ceiling high tv screen of a fashion runway on your way in/out

Now, if only the food could be as memorable.
There's just nothing notable about the food here. Cactus Club in the end is just a franchise that doesn't draw much inspiration to the tastebuds.

Don't come here expecting a dazzling meal -- this is a very standard and safe restaurant however, for clients/dates/etc.
