Great Wall Mongolian BBQ
717 Denman Street

I have bashed at times the all-you-can-eat concept a little bit too much at times. You have to admit it: How much “quality” you can provide when you charge a fix price and there is almost no limit as to how much a diner can eat? OK, sure, hotel buffets charge an arm and a leg and the food can be quite good. But, then, they have mastered it to a certain extent. For the rest, it is a matter of balance things out: calculate based on the average case scenario (though leaning towards the worst case scenario) and hoping most of the customers won’t consume as much.

To make thing “easy” for both of us, I chose a restaurant that would be somewhat equidistant for both. And that place ended up being Tony’s Beef Noodle.

Another neglecting types type of restaurant for a long time, it was time I finally went to one. It was a noon I was doing some errands near the Cambie area and thought, hey, why not! After all, if this one was full, I could just go next door to Copa Cafe! Unfortunately, that was easier said that done, as there was almost no parking spaces in the next blocks. Fortunately, I spotted one and to Corner 23 it was…
