    I'm grading by comparison to other fast food sandwich chains. I had the Steak and Cheese melt I've been bombarded with advertising during sports! As I suspected, the ad it's showing the version with double meat. It was quite tasty, especially with the provolone cheese. If you want to spice things up a bit, they offer a Hot Sauce Bar for your enjoyment.

    Great sandwiches at a reasonable price. I was surprised by the quality of the food, and it tasted really good. The restaurant was very busy, so service took a while. Definitely worth the wait. Recommended!

    What an absolute joy to have this awesome sandwich shop on campus. This is orders of magnitude better in quality, taste, service, and atmosphere compared to even the best examples of Subways around UBC. I got the turkey bacon sub and it was artistically put together, and tasted delicious without being overpowered by the veggies or the sauce. The bread was light and fluffy, quite fresh.

    Great spot for brunch with a surprisingly wide selection and excellent value. They also have a separate Indian menu with many classic dishes, which was a pleasant surprise. The Butter Chicken was rich, full of spices, and flavorful without being overly heavy or greasy. The lamb was incredibly tender, you could tell it had been slow-cooked for hours. The staff were also very friendly and happy to introduce the menu and make recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a classic brunch or authentic Indian food, this place is definitely worth checking out. Easily one of the most authentic Indian spots near UBC!

    Recently tried this cafe , did not expect anything. But honestly if you are in the area please do visit this hidden gem. We tried the Matar malai paneer, aloo puri, vada pav , butter chicken and chai. The freshness and taste was on point. The spice level were so appropriate. They serve quality over quantity. Cannot believe this place has so much to offer for every one . The place was clean and the owner will himself suggest the everyday specials. Waiting to go back soon.

    This is an excellent place to stop for breakfast or lunch. Unfortunately, they're not open for dinner. The fare is a comprehensive selection of classic sandwiches hot and cold, burgers, breakfast all day, and a delicious assortment of Indian dishes. The owner is very friendly, and the restaurant interior is humble but homey. The food is very high quality and made with fresh ingredients. I'm a big fan of the Indian dishes, in particular, many of which come with freshly made paratha almost too hot touch, but I also love the triple decker clubhouse, made in the classic style with a side of their delicious crinkle cut fries. You won't regret eating here. Highly recommended!

    This Subway is amazing. Their staff and manager are always so friendly. And their sandwiches are always on point! I order on the app in advance and pick up 15 minutes later, and it works like a charm.

    Amazing experience at Subway! The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared exactly the way I wanted.

    Amazing experience! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They made the whole visit feel enjoyable from start to finish. The chicken was freshly fried, hot, crispy, and absolutely delicious. The sides were just as tasty and clearly made fresh as well. Everything was served perfectly and tasted fantastic. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Definitely one of the best Popeyes experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

    We had a great experience! My son enjoyed the big box with chicken and French fries. Rashmi, the shift supervisor is very kind and accommodating. We would definitely love to come back to order and eat here! Julie

    Amazing fried chicken, made fresh at order, and I think this was my favourite style of southern chicken so far! Service was relatively fast, considering the large order, and the portions were huge. Even when shared between 4 adults, the 16 piece family meal was too much for us to be able to finish. Small down vote in that both times that I've been to this location I've ordered the mac n cheese, charged the extra cost, for them to after tell us that the option wasn't available. They should say that before charging us the extra cost, and throwing in extra fries isn't sufficient compensation.

    This Fresh Slice location in Vancouver is one of the best! The pizzas are always freshly made with the perfect amount of ingredients. I tried the beef and butter chicken pizzas, and they simply melt in your mouth—absolutely fantastic! Unlike some other Fresh Slice locations where I’ve had stale pizzas, this one never disappoints. The assistant manager, Jannat, is incredibly kind and provided excellent service. She made my pizzas to perfection, and they were deliciously delightful!

    Went for the inauguration of the new unit and, probably because of that, it was the best atmosphere I’ve ever had in a Freshslice. Pizzas had the usual characteristic taste and good price.

    🍕Ordered gluten free pizza with chicken, green pepper and Roma tomatoes and some other toppings and it was amazing. Very tasty, only like $16, and the store is very nice well designed. Will definitely be back for more pizza!

    We were a group who uber ordered three different pita sandwiches. They were all very good. We all found every variety of cookie too sweet though.

    Meat had good flavour but was smaller portions, salad was also small portion. It was nice that you get to pick all your toppings and they have a wide selection of vegetables and sauces. They also overcharged me for the salad.

    The halloumi pita I had in here was very good in taste. They offer a lot of different ingredients to add to the order. I kept it vegetarian and I was quite satisfied with the result. I would return!

    Good franchise Neapolitan pizzas. This location is small with a small parking lot. But you can still find plenty of parking all around. Had a game night and grabbed a bunch of pizzas. Glad this location has a friendly organized staff. I will definitely come back again! 😀

  • Lucas Carvalho

    I recently ordered from Pizza Garden and was thoroughly impressed. I had no idea that a franchise could make such a good Neapolitan-style pizza. The crust was perfect, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The standout, however, was the service. Serdar, who handled my order, was incredibly helpful and friendly. He ensured everything was accurate and delivered on time. Highly recommend Pizza Garden for a fantastic takeout experience!
