The Union - Vancouver

If you can't decide what type of Asian cuisine to eat, this is the place to be. It was also highly recommended by one of my favorite music artists. We went on a Tuesday night, which happened to be their build a bao night. I...took advantage of this offering and loved that I could have both chicken karaage and pork belly with my baos. The food and service was excellent. I would definitely return to this spot if I was in Vancouver again.

We particularly enjoy the dumplings, Bain mi, Hawker Thai chicken wings and Massaman curry. Good selection of beers including non-alcoholic imports.

Atmosphere here is great and so are the cocktails! It's usually pretty easy to get a spot to sit at one of the communal tables or by the bar. Staff are friendly and I really want to like this spot! However, the food is below...average. I had the bibimbap with pork belly. It was bland, the pork belly was oddly crispy, the veggies were bitter, and it was not served in a traditional stone bowl so the dish did't really make sense. To make matters worse, I found a piece of plastic in the dish (in my takeaway box).

Had great friendly service late on a Friday night. Quick drinks and delicious fried tofu! At 11:30 pm there are no issues with seating but staff don’t make you feel rushed either.

Absolutely excellent food. The wait staff was super friendly and very quick. We had kimchi fries (an awesome alternative to poutine), a tofu bahn-mi and the tteokbokki which were both unreal good. Especially if you like a little hit of spice. Looking forward to going...again and trying more menu options next time we’re in the area.
