Delicious food, they attended to our every whim, even whipped up a lychee martini for a picky guest! Love this place!
Went in for brunch on a Sunday they had DJ K Rec playing funky soul sounds that went great with the backpackers breaky. Nice day, good service will be back for sure.
absolutely LOVED the eggs benny on the soft bao bun - what an interesting combo! i got the salmon dill combo and it was good - very flavorful and got me feelin so FULL after! an affordable and hip place to hit up with yo franz at lunch :)
溫哥華唐人街曾是北美洲僅次於三藩市唐人街面積最大的華埠,卑斯省政府更於1971年將之列為歷史城區。但1980年代起華人新移民的大增,很多具有經濟能力的華人開始選擇到華埠以外市鎮定居和創業。由於近年在列治文和本拿比開了不少華人超市和商場,導致市內華人的衣食住行不再局限於華埠。其次被列為歷史城區後市政府為保存區内特色而附設的建築限制反而窒礙華埠發展。另一方面,市中心東端日益惡化的毒品、娼妓和治安問題連帶鄰近的華埠也受到負面影響。正當華埠近年生意一落千丈之際,却吸引不少洋人進駐華埠開設各式食肆,其中比較知名的有Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie、Calabash Bistro、Juniper Restaurant、Bestie、The Tuck Shoppe等等,今天我光顧的亦是眾多洋人經營的餐廳之一
“The Union”是一家東南亞風味餐廳酒廊,餐點包含菲律賓、泰國、越南等亞洲多國融合菜色。餐廳尚有兩間姊妹店分別唐人街附近,一間為美式酒廊的The Cascade Room,另一間為南美街頭小食酒廊的El Camino's。The Union平日只有夜市,星期六日才會加開午市,由上午10時至下午2:30供應Weekend Brunch,我今天就是來品嚐店家的週末特色菜。這裡的裝修別具一格,可以形容為豪邁或者簡陋,而我個人感覺有點像電影裡囚牢飯堂的格局,見仁見智吧!
Rhe cocktails here are a little too strong/unbalanced. However the food is very flavourful and the portions are generous. Prices are good too. The service is friendly but not very attentive. Didn't see our server much and had to ask for our drinks multiple times.
We always have a good meal here and love sweet and sour fish in the bowls. Gotta go for the desserts too - the earl grey pot of cream was super delicious last time. I like to try the mezcal jars personally and they are often on special.
The Union is an industrial-chic hub serving creative cocktails and Pan-Asian eats. They have happy hour and weekly features, so my coworkers and I like coming here for celebrations and farewells. Many good late nights have been had here. They have happy hour drink specials and their weekly features. On Wednesday, you get Wings and Beer for $15. Wings and normally $15, so it’s essentially getting a free beer.
Great fusion restaurant to go to for lunch. I tried the veggie bibimbap bowl. It was full of simple and healthy deliciousness. Seriously. There were so many veggies on my plate and you can't go wrong with a sunny side gooey egg! We also tried the bahn mi. It was $10 which we thought was really steep pricing being that it is double a regular bahn mi but unfortunately we didn't think it was justified price wise at all.
The Union is a fusion restaurant located by the edge of Chinatown. The inside is very spacious, and it has a casual and vibrant feel. For our late brunch, we ordered a couple of dishes and a drink. Cha Yen – $5. As stated on the menu, this is a concoction of lychee black tea, coconut milk, pandan syrup, and a couple of spices: star anise and cardamom.
Very nice fusion good. I tried the Shanghai Scramble. The rice was a little salty but tasty. The shipyard mushrooms were cooked well and the rest of the ingredients were fresh and blended well with the dish.
Surprisingly good Southeast Asian food for a hipster place. Firstly, the space was clean and trendy which is not what one would normally find in a Southeast Asian restaurant. Second, the service was friendly and attentive. Third, they have great beer and cocktail selection which is definitely rare for a Southeast Asian restaurant. I really enjoyed the flavour mix of the banga #1.
The food ranged from average to very good. The five spice dry ribs were average. The five spice seasoning was a little too subtle for my taste. The nasi goreng was a good portion and had a good balance of rice to meat & veggies. Everything was nicely cooked, but the seasoning seemed a bit watered down. I didn't taste any shrimp paste. The cha ca Hanoi was a winner. It had big bold flavours and a nice coconut sauce. I could've easily eaten a bowl of this myself.
Initially the prices seemed a bit high, but the portions were generous enough. We actually couldn't finish everything, which almost never happens to me.
There was nothing we wanted to try at the food truck festival and decided to look around chinatown for food. We decided to have the Union a try - the menu was very interesting and realizing it was an asian fusion place. Had a Bangalore hash - it was surprisingly spicy I think there was sriracha or chili sauce. But it was a good choice - nice presentation and taste (other than the spiciness). Service was also very good. Overall it was a good experience 😊
We wanted to have happy hour at a different location but ended up here. What a great surprise, it wasn’t busy and it was super spacious. The vibe is very chill and our server Julia is such a delight.
We ordered a few appetizers and it was delicious, high recommend the sweet and spicy cauliflower. Tuesday was happy hour for all the bowls so we each got one. The were huge portions and very flavourful. I especially love the peanut bowl with noodles.
The peanut butter cheesecake was the last touch. I would love to come back again for drinks and more food.
Came here for wing night and it was absolutely delicious. The wings were perfectly flavourful, not too saucy, a little bit crispy on the outside. I got the hawker Thai. Will definitely come back on Wed. The server was also super nice and kept asking if we were ok.
A reliable, fun, good restaurant in a city that is suffering from availability of same.
Flawless service, nice space, creative eats & cocktails, and a healthy selection of local taps.
We had a mixed party of six on a Saturday night with various nutritional preferences. Wasn't a problem for this operation.
The only oddity was the amazing speed of the kitchen (first world problems...)
Recommended.
I had a really nice experience having dinner on the Union’s outdoor patio. The area is bustling which made for great people watching, the service was decent, and the food was good. It was quite as good as I had thought, but good enough for me to want to return and try more dishes. The prices aren’t cheap though.
First time at the Union, and it was what I expected - fresh and tasty, flavourful and tangy! Top picks is their cod based “Cha Ca Hanoi” made with all kinds of herbs and turmeric Chili coconut milk - yum! (See photo). Their Massaman Curry was very nice too, a red curry taste in a yellow curry look, unexpected and very nice. Their Bombay Masala Chicken Wings with vegan ranch dressing - what a nice combo of flavours! Highly Recommend this place…
Just had the best time chilling here at The Union. Such great vibes here on a weekday evening, friendly servers, wicked tunes, and very fine food. They have house made mystery (lol) hot sauce which I slathered over every.thing, and I really liked the peanut noodle bowl with sambai ginger peanut sauce and crispy tofu cubes. Gochujang wings excellent, and the comment from my friends on the kimchi fries was they wished they could taste more kimchi. Thanks Union for the super hospitality. Will be back!
We were really happy with this choice. The wings were a total standout and all of our noodle bowls completely hot the spot. Good cocktails and service as well. Would definitely come again.
The nasi goreng was glorious. Every part of the bowl was perfectly cooked, with crispy fried rice, juicy shiitake mushrooms, and flavourful chicken. There were fresh scallions scattered overtop, which was a great touch. The price is not cheap, but at least the portion size is big to compensate. My only comment is that the bowl was lacking in a bit of seasoning.
Wings were alright. Great sauce and interesting flavours, but a bit too oily.
