Decent Cantonese food and service is depending on the day just like a woman's mood. This visit our tea cups were constantly being filled. Thank you. Price is worthy because the portion is huge. I'm especially impressed by the clam with black bean sauce. I enjoyed our visit with my friends.

Look of restaurant is very nice, clean, and modern. Servers were fine, not rude and good paced service. However, was presented with crumpled paper menus. Food choices are quite limited, doesn't have many dishes you would find at other Chinese restaurant. Even with the limited options, the food was still quite underwhelming. Definitely expected better tasting and more appealing food from such a presentable restaurant. Food did not taste bad, but was quite subpar. Some dishes like the spaghetti had quite off-putting colours and flavours one would quickly become sick of. Would recommend going to Crystal Mall and getting good, authentic Chinese food for a lower price instead.

I have been to many Cantonese style restaurant.But this is the Worst Cantonese restaurant I have ever been to.Pricy and the food is not even good.Ordered pork cutlet on fried rice. The pork cutlet should be braided and deep fried but the pork was just pan fried. The sauce should be with melted cheese. But I don't see any cheese with the sauce. It's just terrible!!!!!!!!!!One star is even too kind....

Lucky to eat here when it wasn't that busy. The food came very quickly and taste was pretty good. A good fix for Hong Kong style cafe food.The portion was huge! Ordered 4 dishes to share among 6 people and ended up having leftover to take home. Staff very attentive and fast service.

Order #17, Baked fish in cream sauce with spinach and coffee. What I got was 2 small pieces of grilled Basa fish (2x2" size), a few leaves of spinach over some spaghetti with butter/cream sauce. Not enough of everything. I understand things are higher in price but you can't even feel full after eating this. Very disappointed with this dish. Other people's dishes looked much better! Also, they only accept CASH.

Great for HK ppl that want to eat HK cuisine again

I don’t know why this place is rated so low. This is a cafe-style restaurant so it’s a lot more casual and the food aren’t fancy. The service and food are definitely on the better side of Chinese restaurants. We ordered the French Toast combo, herbal chicken noodles and beef tongue spaghetti combo. The toast was huge and the salad that came with it was decent. The beef tongue was very tender and lean. I think they give ~1/2 of a chicken for the herbal chicken dish (I couldn’t finish by myself), and plenty of noodles. The soup had a ton of goji berries and was definitely stewed with real chicken for; there might be MSG but def not to the point where I could taste it. Prices are reasonable for the service, cleanliness, quality of food and the proportions of food. It’s a great restaurant to grab a quick meal.

I ordered a “Medium” steak and what they gave me was basically raw. They also don’t speak English so I had trouble explaining that I did not think this was edible.

The Boss Restaurant serves various Hong Kong Chinese Cafe style meals. They have a location in Vancouver as well as a location in Burnaby. Check out the The Boss restaurant review below!

Serving the equivalent of Hong Kong style fast-to-your-table eats efficiently. Food is OK and mostly genuine in flavor. But portions on the deal menu are small unless you pay for the full size portions which are both pricey (what isn't these days) but at least overly large. Waiting staff are typical HK style friendly, meaning prompt but curt. Biggest disappointment was I found food on the edge of my seat too late (probably a child sitting there before) and it got my pants dirty. Come here for a quick meal before a movie if you're not feeling the food court. Otherwise not overly memorable.
