Mrs. C and I were heading to Bun Mee Heung, and discovered it is now called Sun Yee. The new name literally means something like new pleasure (but not exactly). More likely it is just someone's name. Whatever the provenance, I would say that a better name would be cheap and filling.

The restaurant looked the same as before except for some new paint. It was clean enough but not spic and span or anything. Service was good and the server was very friendly and chatty. The kitchen was a little slow though. They have ridiculously cheap specials, but the cheapest meal offerings are only posted in Chinese, so bring someone who can read the whiteboards by the kitchen.

We had borscht to start, and then had halibut and cream sauce with rice and fresh veggies, and a fantastic beef brisket and cabbage in a wine and herb sauce over spaghetti. We also had bubble tea and got free mango puddings for dessert. All the food was quite tasty, and wow was it a good price for what we got. We both busted our bellies for 20 bucks total. Now that's cheap!

Definitely a good option for hungry bargain hunters.

Ok, so I'm just guessing this cafe is new because the last time I was here at this location a few months ago, I went with my parents to have dim sum, and it had a different name. Now this is a typical "Honolulu-Oscar" style HK cafe, with the booths and the specials on the white boards on the wall. It's on Hastings, across from the Dairy Queen on the same side as the 7-11 strip area.

What I like best is that they have a "tea-time menu" but instead of only having it from the typical times of 2:30pm-5:30pm, this place offers this menu from 11am-6pm, and then after 9pm-close. They have a good variety of the "westernized" dishes such as the baked rices, spaghettis, and sandwiches, but also the "Asian" dishes such as the chow-funs and the noodles in soup and brisket, tripe, etc.

It was myself, hubby, and my brother who went there at about 2ish for a late lunch. We had the baked rice cod with spinach and cheese in a cream sauce, a Thai style chicken fried rice, and the stewed ox tongue with spaghetti. The portions were a good deal, especially the baked rice dish as the rice was actually pan fried first with egg, and the dish looked like it was one of the normal baked dishes rather than the "mini-set" size. I say it 's a good deal because it was only $5.95/dish with a drink whereas at the other typical cafes that are in Vancouver, it's normally $6.95 and up. They did charge 0.50 cents extra for making your drink a cold one, but that's standard at most other places except Kam Do in Richmond.

Anyways, the bill came to about $23 including tax and tip, and we had leftovers. I was impressed. Hopefully, the taste and portions will remain the norm rather than a pleasant surprise.

I wanted to write a review because I know that this place has changed hands quite often, and I'm hoping that this one gets to stay in business, but it's not exactly in the best part of town
