About

Our story has just begun.

Loved the stinky tofu, so stinky. Loved the popcorn chicken as well. Tasted just like home

August 24, 2024

You can easily find other Taiwanese meals that are much better than this one! In my meal, everything is a disaster except for the black tea. Waffle, the picture showed two pieces, but what I received was one piece along with a bunch of crispy bits. As for the side dish, they used a small steamed bun, which I've never seen any restaurants do so before. The noodles were cut into very small pieces, most of them shorter than a finger joint. The noodle for sure was from the left over pack. They only gave these tiny noodle pieces. The noodles were super soft and really not tasty at all; they were just greasy.

Food is reasonable price. The Taiwan Salted fried chicken is good but the dry chow Mein is not so good. Hope to choose another option if noodles can be chooses in the future.

I've been coming here for a year now and have always had the same menu item, shrimp fried rice, and I feel like the quality is getting lower and lower despite the rising prices.

★★★★

I would say this place offers authentic Taiwanese street food. The taste of the popcorn chicken and pork belly Gua Bao was good. The only downside was that the ingredient inside my Gua Bao was not reheated or thawed properly, so it was somewhat cold inside, which it shouldn't be. All in all, this is a restaurant that I would visit again.

Highly recommend! Ordered #16 Mince Pork Belly & Popcorn chicken on rice! Tastes authentic taiwanese. The pork was well marinated and chopped small enough. There is no weird 'pork' taste at all! Food quality is good and freshly made! Unlike most food court food with no effort! Portion is good with no waste of rice left at the end. Will try there Bao next time:) The Staff is very friendly and knowing what the customer is concerned about.

Fun to try a new place, especially in a food court! The bao was super tasty! My soup dumplings needed a bit more zing, they lacked flavour. My girls enjoyed their crispy chicken and lemonade. I will try some other items off the menu next time.

I've ordered 2 combo (included drinks) with one free popcorn chicken, great price! We liked the teriyaki chicken and beef but the chow mein noodles had too sauce and greasy. The shrimp fried rice and popcorn chicken were perfect and delicious. Great service.

My go-to at Brentwood! I like the mala spice flavour. Everything tastes great and the value is also pretty good. I watched a fight go down in the Brentwood food court (they were screaming about custody of their firstborn), but the popcorn chicken lifted my mood

Going to Brentwood Mall for lunch there is a huge selection of good food and I always come back coming to his place and order their Shrimp Fried Rice which also comes with a Bun, and a drink. For the money it is really good value. Food is always amazing here!!! Will recommend to come here for lunch as they have a pretty good sizeable lunch menu to choose from.

The braised pork rice is okay, a little salty, and it wont get greasy if two people eat it together. Eggs should be paired with braised eggs or poached eggs to taste better. Parking: There are many and large parking spaces Wheelchair accessibility: Ample space for wheelchairs

When it first opened, I often went here to eat salted crispy chicken. It was always fresh and delicious. The whole family is very satisfied Yesterday I went to buy chicken chop fried rice The chicken chop powder is obviously not the sweet potato powder used before. Instead, a lot of cornstarch is added to the paste. The paste is so thick that you can t even bite into it. The fried rice is also a lot oilier than before. A bit disappointed with the poor quality.

Food was okay, just edible but not great. Spicy basil fried rice is made with the wrong rice and really mushy and wet. No wok hey. The lemonade that comes with the combo taste like water with drops of lemon extract. Low quality for the price. Popcorn chicken was good tho. Wont come again.

Xièxiè!! I hauled a few Crispy Fish Gua Baos on BOGO for lunch and must admit I actually enjoyed this, although initially skeptical. Im not a fan of tartar sauce, so it was fairly plain but the fish cutlets were plentiful, juicy and had good flavor and texture, cooked well in nice soft steamed Bao, yummy grub.

I ordered a sausage fried rice combo and soup dumplings. The sausage was delicious, perfectly cooked. The rice was a little bitter but super flavourful. I didnt love the dressing on the side salad (which is just some cabbage and 2 bland broccoli pieces) or the spring roll. But tbh I wasnt even expecting the extra sides anyways. The soup dumplings tasted like classic ones, no problems there. A little expensive but I was definetly full before I finished:) lemonade was also good not too sweet. Lovely counter girl.

BBQ pork and sesame buns were excellent. Veggie bun not a big hit. Also had the sesame combo with chow mein which was okay. Free popcorn chicken was great! Ive also eaten here in person for lunch but didnt see many buns on the menu (just gau Bao). Vegetarian options: Veggie bun was disappointing. Kinda like spring roll filling.

When it opened before, our family really liked the taste and service, so she gave it five stars. But now the service has become very poor. I told them that they dont need the cutlery, but they still put the cutlery. Things that are not on the menu have not been removed, and there are many other items that have caused our family to have a very bad ordering experience in the past five times. Anyway, there are many choices nearby and I don t want to go to this one again.

I ate my food too fast to take a photo haha! I got the Spicy Basil Beef fried rice combo and it was so delicious! The fried rice is flavourful and I think it is stir fried with tomatoes and a good mix of chili flakes and spices the beef slices were tender and a good portion! It came with a crispy spring roll and some broccoli and red cabbage with creamy and tangy mayo sauce drizzled over top~ I enjoyed it a lot! Will get it again :)

It was nice to see Taiwanese food in the food court of Brentwood Mall. We came here twice, and both times the service was great! Highly recommended! - Popcorn chicken: crust was crispy and meat was juicy, tender, and flavourful. Would definitely order it again next time. - Stinky tofu noodle soup with fish: The broth was flavourful, nice and spicy. Spicy level cannot be adjusted. Perfect if you miss or want to try the famous stinky tofu from Taiwan. - Mala spicy stir-fried beef on rice: It was very, very spicy and flavourful. Forgot to ask if we can adjust the spicy level for this dish. Would ask for less spicy if we can. We loved the Sichuan pepper flavour in this dish. Also that it came with veggies (carrots, bell pepper, broccoli, and cabbage) so its not all meat! - Drinks came with the combo: we chose black tea and lemonade, both very refreshing and light, perfect to go with a spicy meal!

The fried chicken rice is crispy and flavorful, and the bao is incredibly soft with explosive flavors. Highly recommended!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. They dont use fried rice in the popcorn chicken rice combo anymore. Soggy rice instead. NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY.

I came at 7pm on a weekday for dinner. I was disappointed because the crispy chicken and baos were sold out. I got the Boneless tender steamed Chicken with original noodle soup (#10) and the #3 Spicy Basil Beef Fried rice and got the Popcorn chicken for free. This is part of their promotion for getting 2 meals and free side. The Basil Beef Fried rice was my favorite, the flavor was tasty, and not too spicy. The lemonade was perfect to quench my thirst. The soup did not seem special, I wish the noodles were cooked al dente and the pieces of chicken were placed on the side. But there were quite a few pieces of chicken in the soup and chicken was extremely tender The staff were helpful with answering questions about the dishes, they have a good variety to meals. I would still come back for the crispy chicken and fried rice next time

December 21, 2023

Horrible, food looked like it had spat in it and found a piece of hair it, I can t be mine because I have short hair. Food was dry and salty plus I ordered a popcorn chicken which was not in the bag at all. Do not eat here at all

If you dont want to work at the front desk, you dont have to do it. I forgot about my meal and the first one went from hot to ice. I asked you to heat it up and I gave you a smile. In the end, you didnt even apologize after reheating it. I wont come here again.

December 21, 2023

Had waited for our order (2 combos) for over 30 mins, someone who ordered a combo after us got his order 10 mins earlier than us. Walked up and talked to the woman at the counter, not apologetic at all, gave us a meal box that has sat at the kitchen counter for more than 10 min instead. I heard a kitchen staff spoke to the front staff that they made the wrong order and asked her to apologize to us and see if we were willing to take the wrong order. The front woman then placed the wrong order on our tray and said nothing, not even telling us this is not the food that we ordered. She looked at our order receipt three times but still forgot to give us the dessert that we ordered. What an experience! The quality of the food and the services do not worth the money we spent at all! The lemonade that we ordered taste like water with a few drops of lemon abstract. Tasteless. The rice is cold for both orders. To the owner of this food stand: if you want to survive and build your business here, you have to train your staff especially the frontline with proper customer services skills and work efficiently and accurately.

Glorious Bao is located in the new food court of Brentwood Mall. You can order in person or at the kiosk.

I ordered the chicken nuggets and fried rice (#1) at 4:30 and its that weird time between lunch and dinner. The chicken and the spring roll have been sitting out so its not crispy and not warm. Fried rice was the traditional egg and green onion. Rice was a bit moist. The chicken was salty but the rice wasnt so it paired well together. I dont think I would recommend this place but in a pinch, its fine. 3.8 out of 5

Disagree completely with someone elses 2-star review. I recommend trying the pork belly combo. The bao has a generously thick slice of pork that is spiced nicely and a soft fluffy bun. The dish also comes with popcorn chicken that I can never finish and have to take home for later, so I think its a good deal. Parking: Under and above ground.

I got the Pork Belly Bao combo that comes with popcorn chicken for 16.75 (after tax). The bao was pretty tasty and popcorn chicken was standard. Came with a drink that I did not want but I had to take it anyways. As a Taiwanese person, I really like seeing places sell Baos but the side options are kind of disappointing. I m not a big fan of popcorn chicken because I ve had it so much and I wish there was an option for 2 Bao combo. I also don t know if I d pay $20 for 2 Baos.

Just like many of the other restaurants in the Brentwood Mall food court, this too is a disappointment! I ordered the deep fried chicken combo with an Iced tea and side of pop corn chicken. The deep fried chicken was basically just deep fried batter. The side of vegetables that comes with it looked like two small sad pieces of broccoli with a tiny splat of dressing. The only part of this dish that I enjoyed was the fried rice which had a lot of flavor. Dont bother trying the Iced tea unless you enjoy drinking what tastes like water poured in an older tea cup. It did not taste like Iced tea. It didnt even come with ice lol. Save your money and go somewhere else!

Had their shrimp fried rice with masago (smelt/capelin roe) combo. Pricey but good. Small cup of iced milk tea on the side is pricey if you are not buying it with your meal order.

Honestly, its not bad. Service was great and had a self serve kiosk aswell. Wait times are per usual for a food court. Food is very salty *even for chinese. Milk tea was decent though. For the price I would definitely say its alright if you compared it to what else is available at Brentwood.

The waiter was very, very nice! The price is not expensive but the food is very delicious and the ingredients are fresh. The milk tea tastes more like tea than milk, so it s quite delicious! The chicken chop tastes good too, I will come here often

Pork belly bao was really good. The pork was perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. I liked the pickles in the bao too, they added good flavour. Chicken was very juicy and seasoned in the typical Taiwanese style. Lemonade was a bit too sweet. The menu is odd; they are called Glorious Bao but there are only 2 baos at the bottom of the menu The Halloween special was good value (free order of chicken with $25+). Without the Halloween special I think I would consider the pork belly bao combo a bit expensive.

Ordered twice so far, both rice combos. Overall we are very happy. Generous portion, good value and good taste (compare to the rest of the food court). I do notice their add-on dessert has already increase price since the last time we visited a week ago, while understandable with inflation, we do hope they maintain the good value they offer long after their opening.

Since the place has the word bao in its name, I thought getting bao was a good idea, but they also have a few other dishes on the menu. So I went with a Pork belly bao and popcorn chicken combo. At first sight, I was disappointed with the popcorn chicken as it looked pretty dry, but thankfully I was wrong, and it turned out to be great. Bao had a pretty impressive pork belly slice and tasted absolutely delicious. As for the food court food, this place exceeded my expectations.

The whole stinky tofu is sour inside. I called the store and asked them if the tofu itself tastes sour? ? ? ? I have never heard of tofu like this! The point is that the sourness of the ingredients itself is completely different from the bad sourness. The stores statement is too far-fetched and they dont think it needs to be improved. This is a really bad experience for my first purchase. I don t recommend it and I won t buy it again.

I had the pork bao combo. I loved it! It is traditional Taiwanese flavor that I miss from home. My friend had the chicken nugget fried rice and it was excellent! Even better than ones in Richmond. Combo comes with a drink and mango dessert. Great value even for food court. Definitely coming back for more!

Its been a while for not dining out and go to international village! This new Taiwanese eatery has perfect chicken steak! Crispy, super juicy and big in size with sufficient amount of salt and pepper seasoning. Personally I dont like popcorn chicken but friends said that tasted exactly the one in Taiwan. Those who miss Taiwan should pay a visit. The milk tea is original taste as in Taiwan. Nothing fancy but authentic! Definitely will go again for the Taiwanese beef noodle. It looks great

Honestly - this was THE BEST meal (any type of food) that my partner and I have had in MONTHS. We are both huge foodies and love various ethnic foods in particular, and this was absolutely something special. What an absolute gem in the middle of a food court - this was absolutely restaurant quality food, and honestly better than most restaurants I ve visited in the last year in Vancouver for such a great price. My partner and I each had an order of the chicken nuggets with rice (pictured, $10) - UNREAL. Chicken was hot and incredibly tasty & tender, rice was so flavourful, and it came with really unique sides. We also ordered the pork belly bao buns ($11)- I totally forgot to take a picture and I m sad because I actually almost cried happy tears it was SO GOOD. Traditional and yet unique flavours, textures - the order came with 2 and they were huge!! They have an amazing promotion on right now where each meals comes with one of their drinks!! So we got to try both their honey lemon juice, and their milk tea (50 cents extra) - again, both unreal. Partner doesn t typically like milk tea and he said this was the best he s ever had a and there honey drink has the best delicious, refreshing, genuine honey flavour it was so unique. Everything was presented SO beautifully, and there was way more detail than I ve ever seen for something so reasonably priced and from a food court! The two staff working were so friendly and were so attentive to us - even coming around and bringing out a to-go bag for us when they noticed we hadn t finished all of our food! Food took about 10 minutes, as a new batch of rice was cooking, but they made sure we were okay with waiting when we ordered - didn t mind waiting at all because the food was so fresh & hot! Will absolutely be back!! Can t wait to try more things on the menu!

Glorious is right! This place is a hidden gem tucked away in a shady food court. Dont let the area dissuade you, this is definitely worth a visit. The food was spicy, fresh and made to order. I loved the mango pudding that comes with the combo (made with all milk according to the lovely lady working there today) but the tea was a little too sweet for my personal taste. Overall, I would say this place has great value and quality so I will definitely be back for lunch. Thank you!

Other reviews are right. This is food prepared at restaurant level of quality, offered at food court prices. I was shocked by how simple egg fried rice could taste so light, yet flavorful. This is clearly cooked by a skilled chef. Had the chicken nugget combo, and will certainly try other menu options soon. Personally would prefer some veg-based sides than the fries. Otherwise, cannot complain.

Nothing special at first but room to grow. Tried them out during the soft opening before Christmas and service was incredibly slow (it wasnt actually busy). The steamed baos were fine but there are better options. Hopefully 2020 is better because this is a highly competitive area, especially with so many choices to eat in the area.

Nice find in the International Village Mall food court. Next time you are attending an event at Rogers or BC Place, make a stop here if you have a hankering for baos filled with succulent pork belly or crispy chicken. This place isnt gonna be a secret gem much longer given the line ups at lunchtime. A great combo deal served with daily drink and dessert (mango panacotta) for $11.45. Their house specialty is Taiwanese seasoned fried chicken. Very tender and lots of flavour! They also have a daily combo special for $10. The staff is very genuine and kind which made the whole experience quite Glorious indeed (pun intended). Give them a try, they are among several new additions to the revamped food court at this mall.

Very decent Taiwanese food! The popcorn chicken was pretty delicious and came with big portion! The soup dumpling was very juicy and tasty. They warmed me that it would take 15 mins for the soup dumpling but I waited for like 20 mins. Totally worth the waiting! The pork in the gua bao was amazing tasty. I will go back again!
