Everything here is amazing! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was an expensive meal. MP for the king platter was $160 I believe, the Alaskan king crab legs where $45 (for only like 3 legs?????) I wouldn’t recommend their poutine. It didn’t have real cheese curds and their was a strange taste that I couldn’t make out. There was barely any crab on the dish. Sources tell me that the scallops here are frozen!! So would not recommend those, and if you ask the owner she’ll tell you they’re fresh.
Did someone say crab poutine? Real bits of crab?! Oh yummy! Despite all the negative reviews, and man there are some real bad reviews about this place, I thought I could shed a little light on their take out window. We all know what poutine tastes like. But to have a rare item like this one is definitely a treat! If your like me who loves to snack while walking in good weather… Or wet weather here in vancity, then this particular item is nice! I’ll be honest the reviews looked pretty bad but I’m coming here in the late spring for a dinner. Till then I’ll do a update and see how food and service is.
Terrible service. I don’t often walk out, but they didn’t even offer us a drink after 20 minutes. We told the waitress we were ready to order, and she pretended not to hear us. Serving staff were running around panicked, despite the restaurant only being half full. Lots of housekeeping and shuffling of dishes, not much actual waiting tables. Left without ordering and went to the pub instead.
Bad choice, will not return. Went for the first time today. food was mediocre, fish n chips however were almost unpalatable. Dry, overfried and had to take off the breading to finish it between the four of us. We didn’t see any crab on the menu and so we asked if they had crab dishes…the server didn’t inform us of any other option than the king crab leg platter while they apparently had all sorts of dungenous crab as well. Anyway, the crab leg platter was served with french fries instead of pan fried potatoes and they only informed us and apologized after we asked why we didn’t get potatoes and others did…thinking we would not notice. Also no tongs or plates were served with the platter so we had to literally use napkins as plates. The other crab dishes that came out after our order all had pan fried potatoes!! so we felt cheated and that it was unreasonable not to at least TELL US it’s different. The other tables were also served with utensils and plates. The worst thing you can make your customer feel is unimportant. Also found their items overpriced on top of not being very tasty.Overall a bad experience, did not feel great with the differential treatment and lack of information. Will never go back.
Crab king food. The worst fish and chips ever ! Greasy overcooked and inedible. And it was a long wait for bad food.
Crab dinner. The crab dinner was okay. Fried rice was raw and tough. When we told the server he went and told the young cook he became defensive and said we cook it dry. Yes I understand but not raw rice!! I would go find a real nice Chiness seafood and have a better crab dinner consider price , the cook, cleanliness , service as special no one came to us and talk to us in person.
