Food usually great and so is service but today we found s giant spider inside our sautéed vegetables and they ordered the wrong fried rice and asked us if we wouldn't mind eating it. Such bad service today. Food still tasted good other than the fact we found a giant spider inside... Eh... It's a different experience here everytime.

Horrible
I don't think I would ever recommend this place or come back.
The service is garbage and the food is boarder line horrible.
First off I found a spider in my veggie,
Asked for new chopsticks ; took 10 minutes
Ordered a sausage and egg fried rice but a shrimp and egg fried rice came to the table.
I explained to the server how I wanted sausage and she asks me if I can just take it, I told... more

Good Taiwanese food at reasonable prices. Tastes just like the ones in Taipei. I wish they had one in LA. Will definitely be back for the pig feet rice next we are in BC.

I used to like this place but I don't anymore. I've been there recently a couple times and during those recent visits, the service was TERRIBLE. they are so rude, it looks like they don't even wanna be there anymore. They got our orders wrong too. The food isn't bad just the service is so c@!%!y I don't wanna come back.

I have been to this place multiple times and each time I would get bubble tea. This time I was brave enough and ordered their meal. Got three things to try and their food are not that great. I find their food are either spicy, tasteless or sour tasting. It seems like their food flavour are based on those taste. Don't think I will come back for food.

Bubble tea is ok.

I'm a fan. I was thinking about giving this place 3 stars, but the lu lo fan I ordered convinced me to give them a 4. The hakka style pork was very delish, but the lu lo fan was awesome!! Service was super friendly too!! Their famous pork hock is my absolute FAVE!!! So fatty but so yum. Definitely a must order!!

The portion sizes are on the smaller side so definitely add a side dish if you're... more

I've only been here once. I had the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and it was pretty solid. The beef chunks were huge.

They have this pork dish that is amazing they have this special garlic sauce that taste so good but stays in ur mouth til next morning guarantee hahah. But its so good. Always happy with my watermelon juice, meat. Sometimes some small long dumplings. Theirs mince pork rice dish is amazing too. I love asian food and this is definitely one of my goto places. Service is okay. You cant expect too... more

Corner 23 has gotten worse over the years. The rice is disappointing and the some of the items have too much salt and MSG. The potato fries tasted strange and the milk tea was watered down. I would not recommend Corner 23 for Taiwanese food.

Team Fam came here for dinner and we had the following:

Char Gway Teow (~$9, curried rice noodles with shrimp)
Deep Fried Chicken with Sunny-side Egg on Rice (~$9)
Ovaltine

Starting with the Char Gway Teow, this dish was huge! If you're all in for the carbs, you can definitely get away with splitting this in half and maybe ordering a drink to easily have a meal for under $10. The noodles were... more

0/5.... Highly NOT recommended. Very bad service and the Staff were rude. Constantly forgetting what we asked for and chatting among themselves behind the counter .... If you do not believe me, go see it for yourself ..... 0/5 stars

If I could give 0/5 stars I would. The place was not busy when our party of 3 were seated, close to the cashier. Service was bad... they were inattentive and constantly chatting by the cashier... it took two requests to get tea. After the waitress took our order we waited 25min... and still no food. I saw two workers talking by the cashier and pointing at our table and when my boyfriend asked... more

This is my favourite place for casual Taiwanese dishes. I've tried quite a bit of dishes here and my two favourites are the pork hocks and the three spice intestines (sounds appetizing, I know), which has the same sauce as the famous Taiwanese three spice chicken.

Sometimes it takes a while for someone to come greet and seat you and there's been times when we just seated ourselves, so I am... more

Like McDonald's of Taiwan but with worse service. Go elsewhere. I like Soho Cafe down the street. Also the kitchen and bathrooms are filthy and employees sneeze on their hands and handle their hair before touching your food. Gross

You know, this place is absolutely fine by my standards. The way I see it, Wang's down the block on 17th has far superior beef noodle but lacks snack food and bubble tea. Soho's on 19th has terrible food but decent snack food and bubble tea. Corner 23 is a pretty decent medium if you're catering to people who want all 3 of the above (which I often am, as my friend group is always at varying... more

My mother and I decided to dine here because we were looking for a local Chinese Restaurant and she remembered reading this place in the papers this one time from a while back.

Before I start, bring cash!!! They don't accept any sort of debit nor credit, they only accept cash.

I had their pork legs, three cup chicken and shared a large bowl of beef noodle soup. Honestly, from the food that... more

Brrrrr. It was a cold winter night when I visited Corner 23 and the restaurant was freezing. Minus points already! It seemed like everyone had their jackets on and they only had a couple overhead outdoor heaters heating the place. Usually I would be going to Beefy Beef or Number 1 Noodle House, but this place is closer to my sister (whom I went with along with my wife and an out of town guest).... more

魯排骨飯 marinated pork chop and rice is awesome but 鹽酥雞飯 fried chicken nugget and rice doesn't have enough meat. When they were slow, the pork skin was hard like rubber otherwise when they are busy, it tastes delicious.

I used to love this place as it was a bbt place nearby. However over the years their food has really slipped up. In a recent visit I found they put peanut butter into their chilli wontons. What's more disappointing is that their place still smells of sewage after so many years. If you want bbt...go to Soho Tearoom a few blocks down.

Yes I know they only take cash! I don't know it's not a big deal for me. If I'm going to go out I usually have at least $20 of cash on me.

Corner 23 is a Taiwanese bubble tea/restaurant. I came by for lunch and I had an enjoyable experience. Ok I have to preface my review by saying I only ordered the sizzling plate beef in black bean sauce. I didn't try their bubble tea, rice or noodle dish.... more

Soooooo goood!!!
Their bubble tea is amazing. The food is amazing.
Its super cheap in my opinion.
The restaurant itself is a typical Asian restaurant so its fairly loud and you need to be more assertive with the servers in terms of having your order taken.
Its crowded and the seats are quite close together.
Once you order your food it does take a long time for your order to come out, but the... more

The drinks are ok but for the food......................... OMG, how did they even manage to serve them? I heard their pig hock is really really good - which I have not tried (b/c I don't eat pig hock), but given that everyone gave the same comment, I'll give them that. But everything else....

Before my first visit my brother had warned me NOT to order the noodle soup and what did I do? I... more

The food is your typical Taiwanese food fare. That gets 3.5 stars.

Service? Service gets 1 star from me.

We sat there for a full 20min before anybody noticed us. And they only noticed because I flagged someone down. In that span of time, another table full of Chinese people had already ordered and gotten their drinks.

When we finally got to order and finished our food, nobody noticed that we... more

Convenient location, however it took a long time for the food to arrive. We only ordered a few simple dishes. The drinks are great, the noodles are just average. Definitely recommend if you just want to grab a drink for to go, but it's probably not your best dine-out restaurant for groups of friends as it is quite small.

We were seated in a really crammed table even though the restaurant is not busy and had empty and big tables. We were given menus but the waitress never came back to take our orders or gave us water/tea. She came to other tables but never bothered to look our way. Since it was impossible to flag her down, we left the restaurant.

This is our family favourite. Like the pork hock, chicken nuggets, three spice chicken and eggplant and so much more.

Fast service, delicious food, very reasonably priced, and decent portions makes for a satisfied customer. Can be busy but worth a wait and it's usually pretty quick. Overall I strongly recommend.

Corner 23 was a pretty decent place the last couple times I've been there, but recently I've had a bad experience. I'm not saying this is an issue that will last for a while, but might cause me to consider all my other options around Cambie first. I visited Corner 23 on Boxing Day after doing some morning shopping. The weather was a little chilly that day so our group was craving some hot food.... more

Pretty decent Taiwanese food, good location, and good BBT. Be prepared to wait in line during busy hours as it gets really popular. We were a group of 7 and sat down after 20 mins, even though we made reservations. They managed to get out the food orders right in a timely manner, but missed a BBT order that took a while to deliver. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the flavours.

Good option... more

Decent food, and the portions are huge! I enjoyed the service as well. Very attentive and kind. Good place to grab some food with friends. I think it'd be a pretty safe bet to take a date here. Dating score: 3 out of 5.

Taiwanese food is the best! Try the sausage, popcorn chicken, and oyster pancake. Only wish they had Taiwan Beef Noodle here and green onion beef pancake, but I understand it's more of a snack/tapas place.

Bad service, actually, no service. I sat down and ordered usual dish, and after 30 minutes, it is still not done. I asked the waitress (she got this angry look on her all the time) if they started making my food yet. She went back to check the computer and talked to her coworker. I can hear that she said "oh it is not ordered yet". She came back and tell me that there will be 5 more minutes. I... more

Service was not bad for Taiwanese restaurant standards, and the food was pretty good too. Came in a large group and had the chance to try different things. I think their snack items are better than the noodles and fried rice.... The pork hock was too fatty for my taste though. Didn't order any bubble tea this time, might try that another time. Overall I had a great time and got a lot of food... more

This is a nice spot to have bubble tea at night. Food is nothing to write home about but bubble tea is decent. Not too many of these sit down bubble tea with meal options in this area so it wins out by default.

This is my third time going there to eat. I felt like having some appies there and luckily not all tables were full (around 4) and were seated right away. We ordered Wan Luan pork hock and chicken nuggets. Pork hock was so tender and delicious but little bigger than bite size. It was came aong with dipping sauce and tasted very delicious.

Also chicken nugget was fresh, soft and crispy. I loved... more

I've been here a couple of times and been impressed with the unique taste of Taiwanese food. There fried rice is amazing and also their chicken wings. The prices are reasonable but one downside is that it is cash only. The ambiance could be a little better and one of their servers had difficulty speaking English and understanding our order but was prompt and courteous. Also try their bubble tea... more

Not the best Taiwanese dishes that I've had in Vancouver. The pork hock is overrated... My friends and I can make better tasting ones at home. The fried chicken nuggets are good but not great. Everything else is just so so. Wouldn't make an intentional return.

So so only.

I've been coming to this place for a few years now. The popcorn chicken and the pork hock never fails me. One of the best popcorn chicken in Vancouver and RIchmond.

I've also tried the spicy eggplant, the kimchi hotpot, the seafood hotpot, the milk seafood hotpot and the beef noodles - which all taste amazing.

Only downside is the service. They get rather busy and it takes some time to hail... more

Knowing what to order here would greatly improve your experience.

Tips:

- Go for the Rice Meal combos. Look for the braised chicken, the three-cup dishes, the pork intestines or the Taiwanese fried chicken. The side-dishes are standard Taiwanese fare, but they are tasty and go very well with the mains.

- The sizzling plates are also good options.

- Don't do beef soup noodles, wonton... more

Fairly average Taiwanese diner. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of what appeared to be barley(?) noodles. It's an OK place to head to for late night supper.

I often do takeout and eat in here, and a very convenient location. For a bubble tea/taiwanese joint, theres alot of seating and parking. The place usually speaks mandarin and some canto/english.

The prices are fair and the menu us very extensive with some taiwanese classic. My favourite is the sliced garlic pork on rice. Very easy to eat and all rice meals comes with side dishes which adds to... more

We were craving noodles after hiking grouse all day, my buddy suggested Peaceful, and since I haven't been there, have heard the hype, and have seen it on DDD, I was completely sold. Unfortunately, the 45 minute line up at 3 in the afternoon was not a selling point, so we quickly threw on the thinking caps to find an alternative. My bud suggested Corner 23 just up the street; why not?

It is... more

The bf and I were desperate to try a new Tawainese restaurant in Vancouver as we drove from Jericho beach. We originally wanted to try Cabin 5555 and were disappointed to find that they were under renovations. We came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try.

The bf googled to see what the reviews were like and no one praised about their drinks. We only saw one table ordered drinks... more
