Friendly service 5 points, tasty meals 5 points, and reseasonable price 5 points. Everything is great for me and my family. Definitely will be back again
Food:
I'm not sure if it was owned by the same person as the restaurant in Burnaby but they do taste similar.
Their Kimchi Hotpot is definitely my favorite. The BBQ is also pretty good choice but is it a very oily dish.
If you're looking for something with heavy taste, this is definitely the place for you!
The restaurant is pretty small and all the tables are setup pretty close to each other, too, so I wouldn't recommend dining in during peak hours.
Service:
The service is absolutely terrible. I don't think the owners have spent much time training their staff since my experience with their service was simply bad. When I was at the counter paying for my takeout food, the staff reached over my shoulder to serve the next person in line. That felt pretty disrespectful. After paying for the order, I had to step outside to wait for it to be ready since there was no place in the restaurant for me to stand and wait. I waited for about 20 minutes and decided to go in and see if it was ready. I found out my order was already ready and it was just sitting there on the back counter in front of their kitchen entrance while the staffs were doing something else. So I waited for them to finish what they were doing and asked if my order was ready. She then pointed toward the packed food at the back counter and said "yeah it is ready. You can grab it yourself." I didn't feel very comfortable with the whole experience.
• quitely located the same complex where Deer Garden signature is. Skip the long line up at Deer Garden, you'll end up waiting for 30mins to an hour! At Happy Tofu, you'll be quite satisfied with the large serving of rice, meat and veggies; it comes with a miso soup too!
• if you are a light eater, one order is good for sharing, usually $8.50 per order. It comes in a shallow dish so big eaters, this should be enough for you or order an appy to share
• serving is fast and good, although their tea is cold-warm when they refill it
• I'll come back again as I had a positive experience with this resto
