Martin Folino: Noodles are amazing. Very authentic…. Everything is great yet it is an authentic Japanese place, don’t expect international sushi
Philip Feng: 6 years in Canada, this is the best Chinese restaurant I've been to. Fast service, super delicious and authentic Chinese food.
Martin D. Ciao: No Din Tai Fung? No problem. Delicious dumplings with authentic hot and sour soup. The portion was perfect with its price. Come later at night so the wait is not crazy. Love the open kitchen!
Yew Fong Lim: Very authentic Chinese cuisine, with reasonable prices. Services are a bit slow due to how busy they are. There are many interesting dishes that I would go back again to try.

Thai Restaurant · Kitsilano · 34 tips and reviews
Francisco Acoba: Good food... But no air conditioning and hardly any ice available. If u want an authentic Thai experience... Inclusive of seating like heck while eating your food... This is the place. Not recommended
Shiera Aryev: Pad Thai is awesome and tastes super authentic - one of the best I've had yet. Would have loved a few more shrimps though 2 shrimps and some tofu felt a bit short!
Melissa Buwembo: Amazing service. Delectable chef's menu for dinner - $30 per person. Catered to party's vegetarian and non-red-meat eaters.
