Highly recommended by BQ and he wasn't wrong,we both ordered the delicious Malay Laksa Soup with beef brisket,beef(melt in your mouth)tendon and watercress,i had the egg noodles and he went with the vermicelli noodles the soup base is out of this world freakin delicious i still can't believe they only charged $11.25 per person for the unbelievable amount of food we had,i highly recommended this location. A friendly reminder to get there early as this place fills up very quickly and there's always a lineup outside
Ben and I went for a hike at Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver. After our hike, we returned to Vancouver to have lunch. We had lunch at Deer Garden on Fraser St. There is a Diners’ Choice Awards plaque at the entrance. It’s for the best Hong Kong style cafe for the year 2014. Nothing says more than the decoration on the wall about the restaurant name.
I really like these places where you can choose your soup base, noodles, toppings, and drink. Deer garden is the first place I ever had this. I've been a few times and haven't been disappointed. I always get the tomato and pumpkin soup base. I chose beef tendon and sliced beef brisket this time. The tendon was really tender, but the brisket I found was too fatty. There wasn't really much meat on the pieces I got. I like how they give you some veggies and it includes bean curd. The portion was just right. I was able to finish the noodles, and felt full. Overall, for the price and portion, I think it is worth it. Service is just OK. They brought us the bill before we were even done. I guess they wanted the table because I could see quite a few people that were waiting. They weren't rude about it, but I knew they wanted us to be done quicker. I'd still come back though because the food is solid and priced decently.
I went to Deer Garden with a group of friends and man oh man, was that a lot of food. The soup and drink combo gives you an enormous bowl of soup. For the price, it was nice and tasty. The broth was light and had enough flavour. There was plenty of toppings and noodles to fill you up. Finishing a bowl is like a guaranteed food coma, there was so much.
The service was okay and pretty much what you'd expect; the staff just get the job done. Turn around for orders and food is pretty quick. Deer Garden is a place to fill up on a big bowl of hot food- nothing fancy, just simple.
Last minute my girlfriend and I wanted a quick meal. We saw the pictures online and decided to give it a try. We saw the bowls of noodles around us and our jaws just dropped LOL. So we decided to get one bowl and 2 appetizers. It was enough for the both of us, there's no way we could finish a bowl to ourselves.
The laksa broth is really tasty. And the marinated tofu and cuttlefish is good, but not the best, but still good.
I would like to come back for a baked dish.
Service is prompt and efficient. The place gets packed quick.
I can never finish a full bowl of noodles here. A good tip if you're coming with a friend is to order a bowl of noodles then add the noodle upgrade. That basically give you another bowl of plain noodles for $1.50. And then you'll have room for the chicken wings!

Deer Garden Signatures looks shabby on the outside but it's always bustling inside and there is usually a line up. However, their restraint is deceptively large and their service is prompt so turnaround is quite fast. You won't have to wait long for a table.
The food portions are huge, so among the three of us we shared two bowls of noodles and some sides. They serve the do it yourself noodle bowls with large amounts of complimentary toppings. Instead of only generic cabbage, they also give mushrooms and soup base specific toppings, such as watercress. Unfortunately, on this occasion, their attention to detail was lacking and some of the mushrooms were not cleaned properly.
The soup base and noodles were excellent and they were very generous with toppings. We got the fish soup base and it was absolutely delicious. Other than the portions and their soup base, the rest of the meal was pretty mediocre. The sides were generic, but they did pair well with the noodles.
Overall, I would come back here if I was especially hungry and wanted a large bowl of noodles at a reasonable price.

Deer Garden Signatures is a franchise chain of 'create your own noodle soup' restaurant. For the purposes of this review, it will be for the Punjabi Market location (Fraser and 47th). Parking at this location is a bit hit and miss but really depends on whether you want to walk a bit to get to the restaurant. There is your typical street parking all along Fraser Street but there are a couple of stalls right behind the restaurant. The caveat for this is that there is no back entrance so you'll need to walk to the front of the restaurant. There is generally ample parking to the parking lots just went of Fraser street so if walking isn't a concern, park there instead.
The ambiance of the restaurant is fairly modern. Everything looks new and looks trendy. There is a mix of young and more senior people eating here so no matter the age group, you'll fit right in. The restaurant will seat around 60 people at capacity and during their peak hours, there might be a bit of a wait.
We ordered two 'create your own noodle soup' - both using the Laksa soup base and egg noodles. The toppings we chose were beef brisket, chicken balls, sausage, luncheon meat (spam), and fried tofu .
The beef brisket here is honestly some of the best beef brisket we've had at any soup restaurant. They're also quite generous with their portions so you'll get some really nice fatty melt in your mouth pieces that are very tasty. The chicken balls are better than most as well with quite a bit of taste to them. The spices in there are just right. The sausage (or wiener) is just that though. Your typical hot dog wiener that has been grilled. The luncheon meat/spam is nice and tasty. If you have an aversion to spam, I would recommend trying it having been pan fried beforehand. It tastes drastically different than in its original form. The tofu was nice and fluffy and there was lots of it as well.
We also ordered the cow tongue. If you haven't tried cow tongue, it's just like eating a really soft piece of meat. If you can get over the whole 'but it's a tongue' idea, we think that you'll really enjoy it and really appreciate the subtlety in different taste and texture of it.
Service is pretty mechanical here as you really just place your order on a form and they take it from you and input it into their system. This means that interactions are very basic and limited. Not a problem for us but we're not sure you'd really call this service. Food came out quick so they're very efficient at their work.
Deer Garden is exactly what we've happily come to expect. They have nailed down their consistency when it comes to their food and the experience. It's a great choice for 'create your own noodle soup' but don't really expect more than that. Everything is tasty and the price point is great - just don't expect anything other than mechanical service.
溫哥華首家魚湯米線專門店
魚湯米線對來自香港的人而言肯定是一種非常熟悉的平民美食，無論在香港任何地區的大街小巷裡都不難找到幾家售賣魚湯米線的食肆。而位於太平洋彼岸的溫哥華多年才開始引進這種美食，在短短十數年間已如雨後春筍般遍地開花了。在溫哥華說起魚湯米線，相信沒人不知道鹿園。魚湯米線專門店在溫哥華不多，能夠做到有口碑和開連鎖店的，鹿園可謂第一家，除了魚湯米線之外，店家也有不少港式茶餐廳的菜色可供選擇。作為一間魚湯米線專門店(雖然不是只專做魚湯米線)，鹿園的水準比較有保証。鹿園由一家位於二樓廣場的小店（威尼斯中心總店），擴展到今時今日擁有三家分店的時尚餐館，實在不容易，最近還獲評爲最佳港式茶餐廳
Well then i was impressed the healthy options that deer signatures that I've tried in richmond so i've decided to visit another location of deer garden signature in this location while i'm around, and true enough, it tasted quite good as well no difference this time. i ordered my fish soup and with lots of ingredients that it's filled almost to the brim, and yes i did finish it as well! :) the soup is slightly more light in terms of the flavour, but at the same time it's not flavourless, just good enough and the aroma is good, the noodle is just firm and tangy how i like them, and the veggies and meat are good no doubt about them. also ordered an appetizer pork belly deepfried hmmm this one is not as good as i though it would be, so better stick to the noodles next time for me :D no food should be left unfinished. :D
overall would say it's a good option if you're around the area and craving for noodles, and fish soup :D
