Banderyky

"The food exceeded my expectations, as has the service - repeatedly. I cannot say enough good things about this little shop! My favorite plate is the Combination #1. But I have enjoyed everything I've tried so far. I love Kvass (its not for everyone with an American palate, but I recommend trying it once at least), and they usually have a Ukrainian brand on hand. My carrot salad is a side order, and my wife has been craving it since I brought her in two months ago! Did I mention the service? I've had three different gals take my orders here, and each one has been wonderful in helping me select my options and very patiently helped me with my pronunciation (only because I've asked for it!). They are absolutely lovely, wonderful people here. If you've been considering trying Ukrainian food, this is a great option! I highly recommend Banderyky located in the Vancouver Westfield Mall."

"We absolutely love this place and eat here a lot. It really is a gem and the folks who run it are so nice and friendly. Honestly everything on the menu is delicious, but the hot dog is our favorite. It's so flavorful and the pickled cabbage they use is mouth-watering. Everything here tastes home made and cooked with care. We make excuses to visit the mall just to go here to eat. My pictures won't do it justice but check it out!"

"One of the best things to find for a food joint : a family run hole in the wall with just a happy vibe and really really good comfort food. We had the banderyky, cabbage rolls and pyrizhok. All of them were great, dough was super tender and tasty and the cabbage rolls were nice and fat! There are even some vegetarian options, with lots of pickled salads. Would totally recommend, here's hoping they can get a seated restaurant going in the future too!"

"I grew up loving Eastern European cuisine. My historical family moved from Yugoslavia to Canada and my parents raised my brother’s and I in the US…but food connected us. I can’t believe the flavor of the borcht (vegan by the way!!!) is so delicious, with just the right amount of broth to beet to cabbage ratio. There are potatoes inside, but not too many to take over the flavor. The sad part is, I have a small tummy, so I couldn’t try everything-but I’ll be back for the cabbage rolls!"

"I would be so happy if the owners ever opened up a food truck or a restaurant outside of the mall. I usually wouldn't do a review for a food court restaurant but this place deserves praise! Everything we've had has been extremely delicious and fresh. This last time we ordered the varenyky which I highly recommend. We've also had the pyrizhok in the past which we also really enjoyed. All of the food is homemade and reminds me of the yummy food my best friend's polish mom used to make growing up."
