Spectacular spot for brunch—an easy 5 stars! On a Sunday at noon, expect to wait 30 minutes to be seated, but the food is well worth it. The complimentary cinnamon coffee was deliciously warm and welcoming. I highly recommend the huevos divorciados and conchas. Everything was scrumptious. The atmosphere was a bit hectic due to the brunch rush, but the friendliness of the staff shined through. The traditional, lively Mexican spirit definitely burns bright here. I hope to be back to try more of the menu!
Honolulu Coffee was an excellent cafe to have breakfast at to start off our time in Vancouver. With ample space, outdoor seating, delicious and unique items like the guava cream puff, and abundance of aloha vibes, this spot did not disappoint. The breakfast burrito was a bit heavy on the quinoa I have to say, but the cold brew, breakfast sandwich, and cream puff were quality. Worth a stop if you’re walking by and looking for a place to step back and relax.
Left feeling very satisfied. I went on a snowy Sunday evening and was impressed by the quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, and the cozy ambience. There’s fancier ramen out there to be fair, but Ramen Kazama does not disappoint. Check them out if you haven’t already. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
Could call this my new favorite restaurant, and an easy 5 stars. Everything from the moment I walked in was captivating, delighted the senses, and made me wonder why I hadn’t been to Shish sooner.
The ambience is lively, homey, modern, elegant, and bright. Large framed photographs, colorful signage, and intricate woodwork adorn the walls. It was pretty busy for being 1, 2pm. Service was not the fastest, but that’s to be expected for the items we got including a deliciously warm, spiced chicken curry and kebab feast. If you’re looking for a quick bite, they have that too in the form of appetizers, gyros, and bowls. I was impressed by the selection of offerings which also include a brunch menu, dessert, and teas. I ordered a bunch, and already can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.
Thank you Shish! You gave me a taste of home, authentic food, and a memorable dining experience. Everything was delicious. This is a great spot to bring a friend, introduce them to mediterranean food, or to indulge in well-prepared, tried and true favorites. Highly recommend.
P.S. In the running for best falafel in the Twin Cities for me, up against Wally’s, Olive & Lamb, Foxy Falafel, and Falafel King. Just some food for thought.

This place is a historic mainstay on Lyndale for a reason. It’s looking a little rough around edges these days, but is worth a stop if you’re looking for hearty Chinese food and cocktails served in a cozy, charming, tucked away environment.
Service was helpful and friendly when we went on a Tuesday evening, although a bit slow and inattentive as we finished up. There’s room for improvement here.
The food hit the spot. I highly recommend the chicken wings which are crunchy, meaty, and served hot. The sizzling platter left something to be desired, as it wasn’t really sizzling and was a bit too soupy and salty. Nevertheless, it was a good dining experience overall.
It’s a bit gritty to be sure, and yes, the tables are a bit sticky, but the bathrooms are clean, the food and drinks are good, and there is a glowing red heart to the place. We didn’t sit at the bar which seems like it’d be fun on a Friday night. The cocktails and shots have eye-catching names that you’ll have to see for yourself.
There’s better value elsewhere to be fair but Red Dragon is certainly treasured here at the corner of 22nd and Lyndale.
