Yaser's Cafe

This place makes you feel like you have grown up in the neighborhood, and you have been coming here for years.Aside from the cozy homelike food, and extremely reasonable price. Everyone here treats this place like home.It all makes sense now why this place has rarer 5 star reviews. Will definitely come back again.

My first time here after exploring the neighborhood, I stumbled upon this hole in the wall hidden gem. This small diner is single-handedly run by a gentleman (by the name of Yasser?) He greets his customers, both new and regulars, like family, which gave me an immediate sense of hospitality and warmth. The establishment is set up almost like a community kitchen, where patrons take it upon themselves to keep the place tidy by placing the dishes on the portable dishwasher, as well as self-checkout" to pay what they owe. Yasser has very fair prices for exceptionally good food

If you’re one of the lucky people who stumble across Yasser’s shop like me, you’re in for a treat! Dining at Yasser’s restaurant feels like going to eat at an old friends place. He makes you feel at home. His menu is simple- soup and sandwich plus his daily special. I ordered the chicken sandwich with beef and vegetable soup. It’s exactly what I wanted- wholesome home cooked meal made with love and tasted healthy and delicious. The real magic is Yasser’s charming personality that makes you feel great just by being in his presence. He also shared that his shop was featured in Burnaby Monopoly. How cool! I can totally see why he has so many 5 star reviews. I haven’t had so much fun eating alone in a long time!! It’s definitely a place I’d recommend to all my friends. Thank you Yasser for your kindness and hospitality, I will for sure be coming back again!

Walked in recently after reading the good reviews of the store. It is a small restaurant with tasty and affordable food for all.I had tried their shrimp, corn beef and roast beef sandwich and to be honest they are good.The sandwiches cost you around 5-6$ and if you are getting a soup it costs around 2$ and you can get coffee or juice to drink under 1.5$ for 9$ you can have a healthy and tasty meal.Yasser is so nice and smiling. The service is so good and that has made me their regular customer. I work nearby this business and whenever i dont carry mu lunch i drive straight over here. Its definitely worth the money. Their homemade soups are so good. They have different soups on the menu everyday.A must visit spot as per my suggestion.Pay parking available in front of the business during weekdays.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best sandwich and soup! First time here and I could easily tell the owner lives a life full of kindness and compassion. Food was so good and amazing price too. This is the kind of place where you feel good spending money unlike those mainstream restaurants where you feel robbed after.

A true hidden gem in Metro Vancouver! This is the 3rd time we went to this cafe, and we ordered two sandwiches (egg & cheese and roast beef), a chicken salad and two soups (lentil soup and beef barley soup). Such affordable prices and Yasser the owner/chef is so friendly and kind to all customers. Food was obviously freshly made and tasty as always! I even got some a soup refill and some extra pasta to try out so I can order it on my next visit! 5 stars and 5 thumbs up!!!

This place has 5 stars for a reason. Yasser serves up delicious hot food with outstanding service and all by himself! He was alone serving a full restaurant during a busy lunch rush. Incredible. Turkey sandwich with a big bowl of beef and barley soup. $7.50. This guy is a hero. Don’t think twice about coming here.

I ran off the bus on the way to Burnaby hospital next door and quickly hauled an Egg and Cheese Sandwich and couple of Chocolate Chip Cookies on the way from this little joint. The owner is such a nice guy, very approachable and friendly.What you see is what you get. Minimal and humble basic grub, yet no fuss, efficient and down to earth simple food yet very reasonable value compared to the extortionate price in comparison you'd pay at the hospital itself for worse grade if it were even available so I'd definitely recommend you saving your wallet if you can .Support local businesses!

The whole experience is very genuine and warm. It is very much a real gem in Vancouver.I had the lentil vegetable with rice soup and roast beef sandwich. The soup itself is a massive portion that tastes really amazing. Just the soup alone makes for a whole meal with how generous Yaser is with the portion. He even offered more soup after I was finished which is very warm of him. As for the roast beef sandwich, it was a little dry. I can't say anything else that's slightly negative as the sheer quantity of meat protein alone makes it great for me.The food itself is very simple and straight to the point. I see that as a good thing as I can easily identify what I am eating straight away. The taste and atmosphere really does resemble the experience of eating over at a friend's house as others have pointed out.Overall, it is an experience that can not easily be replicated and thus makes it stand out above the rest. Hat's off to Yaser in really caring for the people.If I lived in the neighborhood this would definitely be a place I would frequent a lot.
