(3.1) (3.7) (2.3) (3) (3.3)It was nice to find a 24/7 place in Vancouver that wasn't a fast food drive thru. Have yet to visit at odd hours. I'm not a vegetarian but I do like vegetarian grub once in a while. Ambiance is pretty cool if you're into the (for lack of better terms...don't hit me!) hippie/hipster thing. A bit stuffy inside during the summer so my friend and I asked to be seated on the patio.
Their miso gravy is amazing. I ordered the Thai Gado salad even though I am always a bit skeptical with Western restaurants and their thai food but the dressing/peanut sauce was really good! Really authentic. My friend had the soup of the day which was some pumpkin curry thing. I tried some and that was pretty awesome too. We shared an apple crumble for dessert. It wasn't bad but I've had better. It was also not thoroughly heated. The Mario's ice cream that it came with was really good.
The thing about this place though is...the service. It wasn't horrible and the food came on time. It's just that people who work there look very bored and secretly inconvenienced. They've memorized the waiter script all right, but they just looked...a bit sad or something. Must be the stress of having to be open 24/7.
My first time here was for an event so I didn't really get to order anything with all the madness. great place for events.
My friends and I are always looking for places that will allow you to just stay and chill and chat away for hours. Rhizome is a nice "chill place". Atmosphere is relaxed. You don't have to be an activist or artsy type to feel comfortable here. Their menu is interesting. Had brunch there once and the eggs benedict with the salmon thing was really good served with the "roots". I loved how they used a pumpkin/squash sort of sauce instead of the usual hollandaise. Had lunch there another time and loved the sandwich with the apple in it. Soup of the day was some vegan broccoli thing with lime and it was amazing. My friend had the mac and cheese. It wasn't as imaginative but still pretty good and "real" tasting unlike kraft dinner...haha. Have yet to try their spiked selection of teas. They also have a kids menu.
It's loud during peak hours, full of old Chinese people, and they use plastic for their tablecloths.
One of the best places for Hong-Kong-style-greasy spoon. Curry is amazing...you will need to order a bucket of rice for it. Cod with cream corn sauce is nice. Great value.
Tea time's great. Good place for sharing. Waitresses might have a hard time with English but the pointing system will suffice. They are generally pretty nice here despite the usually rushed atmosphere.
