    I am vegan and appreciate being able to eat in this section of the airport! Our last flight of the day had just been cancelled and we were super tired from a long day of flying. The staff were friendly and helped me find a vegan option on the menu. I got their noodle bowl with veggies, tofu, and peanut sauce. They also have rice bowls and non-vegan options. My food was very yummy! The peanut sauce was amazing.

    I have given this spot at YVR airport multiple tries, and the concept of it has never lived up to the product.  You're better off going with a burger from next door, or a sandwich from another shop.  On a recent visit, I paid extra to get chicken breast in my stir fry.  Not only did they not fulfill that request (which I of course didn't realize until I had left the terminal), but the protein was hacked to hell--with bits of tendon and even bone still a part of the equation.  Not appetizing in the context of the stir fry.  You are paying a premium for a very mediocre output, heavily dominated by cheap ingredients such as cabbage and carrots.  Proceed with trepidation.

    It's not as bad as some are saying.  I think it depends on what you order.  I had a rice bowl with some veggies with the black peppercorn sauce.

    If people are expecting a gourmet meal at an airport in North America, then they will definitely be disappointed.  What this place offers is semi-healthy food, a hearty portion of food for any flights between 3 to 6 hours (without getting you sick) for around $10.  You could always go to the restaurant across the hall, but then you'll end up spending $25 to $30.  

    Food was prepared within 5 minutes, service was friendly and reasonable price, so I think it's good for airport food.

    This place smells good but taste is not good at all. Too saucy and greasy. I would avoid at all costs.

    Had a vegetable rice bowl, there seemed to be a reasonable ratio of vegetables to rice and the rice had a good texture. The sauce (peanut) had a nice taste when I got a lot of it but the flavour could have been stronger. The price ($10) is a little pricey out of context but about what I'd expect for airport food. The cashier seemed very friendly and enthusiastic.
