Went here to pick-up our usual meal, the dinner special. But unfortunately the dinner special has changed along with the restaurant. Instead of sashimi, ebi sumono, and vegetables tempura ....it was substituted withe salmon tempura, chicken karraage and salad. But at least it still came with dynamite roll, spicy salmon/tuna roll like the old dinner special. The new substitution was very disappointing. The chicken karaage was dry and had a funny East Indian spice to it...not what I was expecting from a Japanese restaurant. The salad was terrible....might as well just had tossed it out. The salmon tempura was okay, but I would not order it again. The older sushi chef is no longer there, as I was talking to the waitress I sense that he left on bad terms. He was very good at making the rolls as the new sushi chef had the rolls uneven and falling apart when I brought it home. The price also went up. From what I saw the renos consist of new furniture and booth, but other than that it had the same look as before. I was very disappointed as the value went down and the price went up. I will be looking for a new sushi restaurant now.
I was told to try Memphis Blues by some coworkers, but not any location I had to go to the Clayton Heights location on 186 & Fraser Hwy, and now I know why. The service was incredible,the server took the time to explain how the meat was smoked and how they had "laid back feel" as far as ordering yourself. Before the end of our meal we were laughing and having a great time with other customers and the staff! We ordered the Elvis Platter & some BBQ shrimp and we were not disappointed. The Ribs were amazing, the brisket melts in your mouth even the smoked sausage is something out of this world! My whole family loved fries and the shrimp, I don't know what they do to the butter but wow!!! Then to top off the great evening there was a musician that came and began playing live music (every Sunday night they apparently have this). Overall we've told serveral of our friends and we've have all been happy with their experience. So if you love BBQ, Memphis is the place to be!
I've gone here a few more times since I reviewed the place a year ago. Let's see what has change and what has not. First, the best part of this restaurant is it's late hours. Open until 11pm & 12pm is really good because there are no other choices in the area to eat this late. Second, this is KOREAN STYLE Japanese food. Make no mistake about it. When I ordered yakitori it came deep fried.. Seriously! yaki in Japanese means GRILLED! Not deep fried! There are many so called Japanese dishes that are wrong. They are Korean style. If you can accept that, or you are a person who has no idea what real Japanese food is, then you can bypass or accept this detail. I accepted that it's Korean style so based on that, the food is pretty good. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. So, recently they HAVE improved their food, from the sushi to the cooked foods, they are much better than a year ago. The one thing that did NOT change is the customer service. Customer service here is TERRIBLE! You have to wait forever for anyone to take your order, and forget about anyone coming around to see how you are doing or offer you more tea. You can't even get anyone to give you a bill here.. I've seen people walk out without paying a few times. They seriously need to hire more waitresses and train them in GOOD customer service because currently they fail big time in this department. I will go time to time when I need to eat late, but I won't leave any tip until the service is improved and the waitresses are more respectful and polite. At least smile!
No thank you very much you can take these back.
Then the server comes back and says "well, we've taken them back this time but we can serve food from costco if we want"
The costco spring are no doubt good but i don't come here to eat frozen food and pay 10 times the price for it. And therefore I and my money are never coming back again and you can serve frozen food all you want.
Thank you very much
Servers here are snooty and have a very little understanding of how to treat customers.
I and my friend came here on Saturday hoping to try something different than the usual fusion Indo- Chinese food restaurant we go to.
The server who greeted us was grumpy and it felt like she was doing us a favour by seating us. Then it took her at least 15 minutes to come and take our order and when she did she brought us the wrong dish.
Since it looked good we decided to give it a try. Later my friend wanted to order coke but the servers were nowhere in sight. Not once did anyone bother checking on us and when she decided to show up it was to serve another table.
Do yourselves a favour don’t bother with this place
Me and my wife visited this small ancient looked restaurant named John's Greek Taverna last week.As we were just two we didn't mind to sit close to window so that we can have outside view.We went there first time so we didn't know what taste there dishes have.We ended up ordering Calamari Appetizer with main dishes of Roast Lamb and Chicken Souvlaki.I must say i was afraid of the taste as we went to other greek restaurants and there food was pathetic.We don't mind to spend a little bit more but would like to have our bucks are justified on food.when we had our dinner we were quite astonished that this small restaurant has so much taste in there dishes.on top of that servers were friendly and frequently asked if there is anything else we need.Best part we were told they are going to offer 10 % off on everything for seniors in the dinner menu.what else we need???? We will be regular outgoing for greek food for this restaurant.
I have been frequenting them for a little over 2 Years and I always go back when I visit this area (which is not desirable). By far, the best Japanese and Korean foo outside of the Japan (yes I have been there too). The staff is always plesant and very courteous. Try the Korean foods for the best experience but they also make good burgers, meats and the BBQ too.
This must be the most outsatnding Keg Restaurant within their organization.
The decor is great..the service is amazing and friendly. Atmosphere electryfying.
Above all food is excellent. We even had the chef come over to ask how was the food ?
Great place for family outing or to watch.
Reccomend this place at any time for sea food and steak.
I absolutely love this place. I love the people, I love the food and I love the atmosphere. I always feel very comfortable and welcome when I come in. The people there are very nice and know us very well. Whenever I come in they ask how the family is doing, and are very personable. I do take out quite often and it's fast and packed up nicely. Granted, it is a little more expensive then a lot of places in the area but the quality is really good so I find it worth it. Another nice little touch is the fruit at the end, it's a good end to a delicious meal. I would go again and again... And trust me, I do. :) I would highly recommend.
I had heard a lot of good things about this place so I decided to reserve a table for Mother's Day brunch. We walked in and it really is a classy looking place. Beautiful with the gold fish swimming in the pond. Anyway, the service wasn't very good and the food was worse. My mom found green parts in her ham, they tested it and said there is nothing wrong with it. But wouldn't green meat just turn you off of the whole experience? There pasta salads were gross, there shrimp tasted fishy and there selection was lacking. If I'm going to pay $30 a person, then I want more selection and better quality food. I was so disappointed. I wont be going here again. In there defense they did knock a lot off the bill... But I wouldn't go back knowing how disappointing the food was.
it's so expensive! When you look at the menu it doesn't look too bad, but you are nickled and dimed on pita if you dare to ask for more and you are also charged for oil and vinegar for dipping. I ended up paying over $140 for dinner for me and my two teenagers which is just too much for salmon and chicken. The wine list is awful - minimal choice. Also no espresso machine if you want one after dinner - very disappointing. The quality of the food is pretty good - we all enjoyed our dinners - and the location is lovely. I have been going to this restaurant off and on since it first opened around 10 years ago and it has not progressed or improved in any way. it's really only the tasty food that brings me back, but that bill will make me think seriously about returning.
Went to Southpoint Pub 5pm Mon May 14/12 to enjoy beer & dinner. We told server we would be ordering food but wanted to enjoy a beverage 1st. After change of servers we told new server same thing. Also told Bartender same thing. There were only a few patrons in the pub the 3 hrs we were there. About 7:30pm 2 fellows came in & ordered dinner. At 7:45pm bartender, server & liquor store employee enjoyed their dinner at the end of the bar. I waited until they were finished to summon server over to order dinner. We were told 'THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED'. No notice, noone came to ask if we planned to order food, nothing, nada.
When we told the server this all she said was 'sorry'. I told her we noticed she & other staff members enjoyed their meal just min earlier. We paid for our beverages & left. Will never return. We used to go to this pub fairly regularly & did enjoy good food. This was at least a yr ago. No wonder noone was in the pub.
We have discovered Original Joe's on 160th near 24th & defiinitely enjoy the food, service & staff there. Suggest anyone in the area go to Joe's - forget ever visiting Southpoint again.
Went out on a friday night to visit this greek restaurant and seems like your good neighbourhood family run greek restaurant. Most areas need a place like this. Was very busy with locals but made reservations so seated right away. The restaurant is in your typical surrey strip mall, nothing exciting and the decor matches. Doesn't look like they have had any renos in a decade or more, typicaly 90's style. Started off with the calamari and very good. Then had the roasted lamb shoulder. Very good, tender and a bit on the fatty side but expected wtih the shoulder. Came with your normal greek salad, rice and potato. Tried some of their desserts, cheesecake - average and tiramsasu - a a bit bland. Service was excellent with a waitress that really seemed to enjoy her job. Prices were in the low teens for the appyes and high teens for the entrees. Would return.
For Mother's Day, we had reservations for a large group (over 10) and arrived on time. There seemed to be confusion with the number of people we said we had and took some time to sort out. I think they were trying to put us into a smaller table. Got seated and it took literally 5-10mins for tea to arrive. It wasn't overly busy at that time but we knew that it would get busy soon and that the true measure of a good restaurant is how they handle crowds. Let me tell you, this restaurant FAILED!
Because we had 3 families at the table, various orders were put through. Pretty pricey compared to other well known Japanese restaurants. Some had dinner combos (sushi, chicken, gyozas, tempura) and then some ordered bento boxes and appies. It was odd that the sushi came out lightning quick. I'm guessing that all the sushi was pre-made ahead of time - efficient but is it really fresh? The food tasted pretty good. The big concern was that although the sushi boats, appies and even the chicken terriyaki came, where were the other dinners for the ones that ordered the boxes? We asked about 3 times and were told that the restaurant was very busy. Ok, thanks. But, don't you normally try to serve everyone food at the same time and NOT 30mins in between? Most of the food was already finished while some were just wanting some food. Even those that ordered the dinner combos had to wait for their tempura (which came after the main dish of chicken terriyaki).
So, the experience receiving the food wasn't great. Too bad because the food was actually decent.
THAT wasn't the bad part. About 1hr 15mins from when we sat down, waiting for our tea, waiting for all the food to arrive, the bill was dropped on our table. Also, waiting numerous times to get tea re-filled too. I think that the people who had the bento dinners, they only got 20mins of eating time! There was no asking for drink orders and no mention about ordering dessert. It was basically, GET OUT because our next reservations were arriving soon. It literally came out of the lady's (assuming Manager/Owner) mouth that they needed the table for the next reservation.
SO.... thank you for a delicious meal but cruddy and rude service. WE WILL NOT RETURN and take our business to places that appreciate people.
After recently visiting the Fiji Islands, I decided to share some of the fijian dishes with my friends. I called Curry Leaf to place an order to pick up. As I couldn't find their menu on the web, it was hard for me to tell them what I wanted to order, as fijian dishes have specific names.
The receptionist was very helpful with the description of the appetizers she was suggesting me (Bhajia & other that I forgot the name...) and I added a lamb curry.
30 minutes after, I attended the restaurant to pick it up. It's a small place, clean, simple tables and chairs. My order was ready, at the price that she had mentioned earlier to me. The value for the quantity was excellent!
I would definitely return!
I went there for a 4 person meal with only 3 people. The food serving looks unappetizing for 3 people and totaled to 73$ (7 dishes in total), however the food is nothing authentic to real Thai food.
Here's my cons and why:
*pad-thai was like vietnamese pho noodles with spaghetti sauce (that's not what pad-Thai is supposed to look like).
*lacks a whole lot of staff to customer interaction.
*To be honest if you look at the menu most of the items are chinese food (for example Wonton) and not what you would expect out of a "Thai" Restaurant.
And the Pros:
-Great atmosphere
-Serving sizes were actually quite small with elegant appearance.
that is my take on Chinese imitated Thai food
I order from them once a month and It's always great Pizza! I have had pizza from many different places and this place is up there with the best of them! You won't go wrong ordering here! The lunch time special is also a great deal 3 slice and pop for 5 bucks. If you want a real pizza pie add a few extra toppings to any order and wow! Also they use real cheese.
Amazing, sitting here and the food I got to taste was bland. To top it off no forks/ napkins had to hunt for them myself. Saw the manager walk by like 6 times never checked up on me. Yes I have a child but I COULD have been a regular: considering I eat out with my son 2 times a day cause it's cheaper then making one meal at home. Bad service and no wifi for a family restaurant. Won't be visiting again.
We went to Jollymacs for a fundraiser. What a bad idea, I live in Aldergrove and drove a good distance to support this fundraiser and to have a good night out. There were 4 of us 1 in a wheelchair. The night started out as very dangerous as we tried to get the wheelchair in the door it was not wide enough (the door) so we needed to open both doors although the pub had a ramp the wheelchair fell off the top step, because the top of the steps was not wide enough for the wheelchair, if not for a stranger coming in behind us the person in the wheelchair would have fallen and may of had some serious injuries to her who is 78 Yrs old. After we did get into the pub a young waitress put us at a table she was very nice and knew what was on tap, she was great. We were sitting at the table for ½ hour before she came back to take our order because we were not sure if she was our waitress or hostess we ask a waitress who walked passed our table to take our order, she said as she was rushing away “not my section” and I would say she said it like we were
not worth her time. I found out what her name was and I let the person who was part of the fundraiser know how rude she was. Once we did give our order we did receive our food in a timely fashion, my husband did enjoy his chicken burger but felt the fries were undercooked, I did get a burger with a salad (very fresh salad) the meat tasted like shoe leather it was not freshly cooked and was sitting in the warming tray for a few hours I felt like it tasted like they put it in the microwave to heat it up. We didn’t complete the meal and the beer was nice and cold we were not asked by the waitress if we would like anything else or how was the meal, so we just left feeling we should have gone to McDonalds. I have never sent in a review before but this pub left a bad taste in all our mouths.

Shopping in south Surrey and decided to try the Cactus Club in the complex. Not sure what is considered ambiance but long wait, high noise level with tables packed together is NOT mine. While waiting for a table, you are facing a place where the staff are continually going in and out, It is hard not to notice that all staff members are really attractive people - lots of Barbies and Kens. I kept looking for someone who was overweight, or average looking....or pregnant. I have no respect for a place that hires on appearance first, even though our server was good and attentive. I just found it very off-putting. The food was good and, considering how busy the place was, service was good too. But, I won't go back. I like to dine in a relaxing atmosphere where I can hear my friends speak without leaning forward to hear what they are saying. If Cactus Club is getting that mkuch business at that location, they should expand or add a 2nd location.
