Shaxian Delicacies - Burnaby, British Columbia

I only discovered a few years ago how much I love the Chinese inspired food, so I jumped at the idea of coming to this place since we were staying in the Hilton above and could see on a daily basis the movement around here: - easy to take the lifts ... from the second floor of the hotel, or coming from the street to access the mall, with lots of businesses centred in a circle and more on the 2 levels of the mall - lots of fast food restaurants packed all the time with a huge majority of people from that part of the world, judging from the always full car park (we had to pass from the Hilton level). Huge variety of foods prepared in front of you ranging from low prices to more expensive - lots of vendors on the lower ground selling fresh food/veggies in a market type besides lots of varieties of drinks based on bobba or juice etc - the downside is that the car park can be a bit unruly with people parking or blocking as they please not respecting any rules sometimes and simply screaming in their language Great place to eat or shop if you love this type of cuisine as well as your lychees (however over priced) and lots of Taiwan sweets.

Feel like more diversity food choices of different countries, bring your emptied stomach and cash. However, you may have to bring your own sanitary wiper, eating utensils, and takeout food bags. As if you're suffering from decidophobia, or even ordering from the menu can take her ages. Then recommend going somewhere ... else. Read more

Hot Pot Hero. Newly opened food store. Freshly made bun type dumplings made before your eyes ! Pork and beef versions. Tried the pork version and prepare for the juices to flow. In my case ? All over the floor ! Highly recommend and the price is very reasonable. Now ... it's 5 for 8 dollars. Could not resist and ate all 5 in one sitting. Floor is also a mess ! Read more

Love this place as it has great quality on food in the food court upstairs but even better variety and quality vegetables, fish and meat in ... the lower part. Great food deals at the food court.

The market does have so many Chinese fresh food. It is so busy at weekend. We went there for lunch and could not find an available table to sit. It took 30 minutes to have an food order available to pick up. And they only accept cash which caused inconvenience ... in receiving so many pennies. Read more
