I came to MYST with the intent of comparing the food to another Taiwanese restaurant that serves similar dishes called “The One”. Talking about MYST specifically I really liked that they had large screens so that you can watch sports games. Service was quick and attentive, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was pretty good in terms of the food. I had the deep fried squid which was quite flavourful and the deep fried chicken nuggets, which was also coated in a similar seasoning. I was mostly interested in the beef noodle soup as that is what I was comparing to the one. To be completely honest, they’re both good in their own ways however the soup broth at MYST felt a little more bland. Still flavourful and tasty however, just not as much flavour as the broth from the one I was also not asked if I wanted my soup to be spicy or not. I’m not sure if this means that they don’t offer spicy broth or if you just have to ask for it. I also had a bubble tea, which was tasty although very sweet overall I enjoyed my visit at MYST.

I always have a good positive experience everytime I come visit this place to dine. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and inviting layout of the restaurant. The ambiance is modern and comfortable, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Myst Asian Fusion specializes in an exquisite blend of Asian cuisines, showcasing flavors from various regions, including Thai, Japanese, and Chinese. Their specialty dishes, such as the Mango Tango Sushi Roll and the Pad Thai with a twist, are not to be missed. The presentation of each dish is simply stunning; vibrant colors and artistic arrangements elevate the dining experience to a whole new level. One of my favorites was the house special, the Szechuan Spicy Chicken, which was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients used. The history of Myst Asian Fusion adds to its charm. Founded by a passionate team of culinary experts with roots in various Asian cultures, they aim to share authentic flavors while also putting their own unique spin on traditional dishes. The restaurant operates daily from 11 AM to 12 PM, making it convenient for both lunch, dinner and late time visits. While the prices are a bit on the higher side for some dishes, the quality of food and service truly justify the cost. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with exceptional food and service, I highly recommend Myst Asian Fusion. You won’t be disappointed!

It is our first time eating in Myst. But the food never disappointed us. The food was so delicious. I feel like I am in Taiwan. Highly recommend the stinky tofu. The mango shaved ice is so good. The beef noodle soup is delicious with the beef so tender.

Super good food. Great place to take a friend or go on a date. The staff is so nice and the food was amazing! Ordered the deep-fried chicken nuggets with rice, deep fried squid and also the pork soup dumplings with a taste to die for vinaigrette sauce. I’d come back here for sure again or maybe try their new location in kerrisdale. Evonne was most helpful and saw that all our needs were met. 5 star. Thank you!

It's not my first visit to Myst. Unlike other times, I came with my husband for dinner this time. We are well aware that their portion is quite big, so we agreed to order some food to share. Taiwanese style pork knuckle, fried rice noodles with veggie and shredded pork and a soup with meat balls. The pork knuckle is so so. It's quite tender but the flavor is rather mild. Perhaps that's the whole point of having a sauce with it. The sauce did enhance the flavor and made the pork knuckles more enticing. Among the food we ordered, my favorite is the fried rice noodle. It might look very plain and not that appealing in photo, but its very aromatic and flavorful. The magic came from the dried shrimps. They totally took the dish to a different level. The soup tasted like what it supposed to be. No surprise, bad or good. Myst is one of the restaurants that you can go for a late night meal coz it closes around midnight from Sunday to Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, it extends the hours to about 12:30am. Its menu offers you a great variety of food, bubble tea and desserts.

Excellent food and service. The popcorn chicken was cooked almost perfectly, with the right amount of spice and taste. We also ordered the shredded chicken with rice and the laksa with egg noodle. Both were absolutely delicious and amazing. The service was great, seated quickly and food came really quick. Waitress was also very nice to us. Atmosphere was great. Although it can get a bit loud, it was nicely decorated. Overall would definitely recommend and would come back again to try new dishes.

I believe MYST and No.1 beef noodle are owned by same person. However, overall the dishes and portion size- everything, really is just better at No.1 beef noodle. Gotta love their kids menu. Not to say MYST is bad, more rather it's a comfy spacious dining environment. Until you're packed in the back area due to low seating😂 Service can be slow during lunch/dinner rushes as expected. It's not as bad as some places though, which have you wanting to just leave. Their drink is ginormous. Never was I expected one drink to be the size of two, for the price of one. Their egg is suspicious. I don't know if it's really egg. At least No.1 has an actual egg omelette.

I tried Myst for the first time when we got catering for a sports event a couple months back and enjoyed it so much we decided to come and try the food at the restaurant. I am happy to say it was expectedly much better at the restaurant. I came with a group of friends and shared a couple dishes. The portion sizes of all the dishes were quite large and we had leftovers to take home. My favourite dish was the chicken red curry. With the fried chicken and creamy curry, I thought it would be too heavy, but i found that the red and green bell peppers added a hint of freshness that helped with the heaviness of the dish. Overall a fantastic experience and will be back for seconds!

Foraging is my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in Metro Vancouver, but today the lemon black tea was bland and the rice noodles were not fried loosely and were a little lumpy. I don t know if there is a new chef, but I haven t gotten started yet. I hope the restaurant can return to its former high standards soon.

Myst used to be one of my go-to spots in Burnaby. The food was great, the menu had tons of variety, the service was always attentive, and the prices felt reasonable for what you got. But after my recent visit, I have to say what happened? The prices are insane now. I ordered the three spice chicken. The dish alone was nearly $20, and if you want to make it a combo with rice and side dishes, you have to tack on another $8. That s almost $30 for a single meal! On top of that, the portions seem way smaller than before. Did they change management? The service wasn t any better. One of the servers left the menus and an tablet (used for taking orders) on the seats at our table. That s just plain disrespectful and unprofessional. To top it off, they ve started charging extra fees if you pay with a credit card. Since when is that a thing here? It s really disappointing to see how much Myst has gone downhill. It used to be so good, but now it feels like they re cutting corners while jacking up the prices. What a letdown.

My daughter ordered the beef noodle soup and was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, there was a strand of hair in it. The waiter took it away and replaced it. However, it was difficult to enjoy the food after that initial experience. When our bill arrived, we were charged for two bowls of soup. They corrected it and an apology was given. We wouldnt be going back.

Been here many times since they first opened I was disappointed with my recent visit. The service was lacking our server brought out the share plates but never checked if we needed water, leaving our cups empty while nearby tables were served tea pots. We ordered three items: soup dumplings, a club sandwich, and pork on rice. The pork arrived quickly, but the sandwich took ten minutes, and the dumplings came out last, after someone had already finished their dish. When I tried to get a takeout container by clicking the service button, no one responded, and I ended up waving my hand to get attention. When I finally received the bill and container, they were left on the far side of the table, out of reach. This experience was frustrating, especially since Ive dined here many times before. I dont think Ill be returning.

Food is good but nothing special, kinda Bubble World standard but at a higher price.

If you are going there late night with some friends, music can be quite loud and it can be hard to talk over it. Overall score: 9/10 Things to try: 1. A4 Taiwanese Salty Peppery Chicken 2. Hainanese Chicken (W/ Oil rice) 3. R4 Tomato Omu Fried Rice Hope this helps!

My family has always had a great time at Myst, and my son is a big fan of their food. Our experience this evening has left me feeling deeply disappointed and concerned. I ordered his usual favourite combo of salty peppery chicken nuggets with yam fries. A side of mayo is included in the combo. Upon inspection, I noticed that the mayo had a clear yellow hue instead of the usual pale white, suggesting it was left unrefrigerated for an extended period. I told my son not to use the mayo because I dont want him to get sick. Not refrigerating the mayo is inexcusable since these are basic Food Safe handling procedures. My son could have gotten sick from eating the mayo.

As a professional food critic, I strive to provide honest and unbiased reviews, and my recent visit to this establishment deserves recognition. Having dined here several times, I found yesterdays experience particularly noteworthy due to its near perfection. To start, I indulged in the green onion pancake as an appetizer. Its texture was crisp and flavorful, setting a promising tone for the meal. Following this, I savored the salt and pepper chicken, which was seasoned impeccably, and the pork soup dumplings, which were a delight with their tender meat and rich broth. To accompany my meal, I selected the peach slush bubble tea, which was refreshingly sweet and complemented the savory dishes beautifully. Overall, every item was executed to a high standard, impressing even my discerning palate. This visit reaffirmed the establishments commitment to quality and taste, making it a standout choice in the area.

This restaurant is decorated like a club while feeling like a formal restaurant at the same time. The atmosphere and service has something about it that makes me want to go back again and again. The experience is quite nice and the food is delicious. Also, you never have to worry about large groups because they have a selection of larger tables suitable for big groups. My favorite dish would have to be the Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken. It has a nice tender texture and consistency to it, while having a crispy and crunchy outer layer. The one thing is that if you have allergies, you may want to be more cautious as I have been fooled by the delicious look of the foods. Not considering the potential allergens within the food, I ordered something that had literal peanuts in it. Even though we informed the staff of my severe peanut allergy, they didnt warn us of the peanuts which were sandwiched in a delicious looking chicken burger. I do understand though, that it was also partially my fault, and I dont blame the restaurant. Just make sure you dont make the same mistake as me and be careful when trying new foods.

Its been about 7 years since the first time I visited Myst. Located in the former Lesters Family Amusement grounds, Myst serves up an eclectic menu with various pan-asian influences. On this last visit, we got the hot plate combo with 2 meat items (pan fried chicken steak and pork chop) with rice and curry sauce. It also came with a fried egg with a runny yolk. Pork chop wa ls a bit on the dry side but once you dip it in the curry sauce, all was good. Also got the braised pork belly with preserved veggies. Also known as mui choy kau yuk, I was surprised at how fast this came out since it usually takes a while to make. Im assuming they took some short cuts to have the pork belly already braised. The pork was quite tender but the flavour was very muted in the sauce and lacked the richness of the dish. Not bad (especially when paired with rice) but needs more umph. They had a special where you get an order of XLB for $7.99 if you post it on social media. I was surprised that this turned out pretty good with a decent amount of soup in the middle and a fairly thin wrapper. Dishes come out rather haphazardly so if youre dining with others, some people may be halfway through their meals before others are even served. Big menu with lots of offerings.

The beef noodles are so-so, not as good as Pearl Restaurant and UNO. The camphor tea duck is okay, and the milk tea is okay. There are a lot more dishes than the old restaurant, so maybe it can t do its job well... Taiwanese beef noodles.

It had been a while since we last visited, full of expectations. We ordered braised pork belly(main thing I was disappointed). The color was not dark enough, pork was not marinated enough, the taste was not intense enough. It used the fermented tofu sauce instead of dark soy sauce. That is no no for Taiwanese style braised pork belly(ate a lot of that since child). The other two dishes was OK. Unfortunately, that didnt balance my disappointment.

We ordered a bunch of different things- sampling and sharing every dish between 4 of us and had an amazing time. The old-fashioned milk tea was absolutely delicious, the marinated pork belly melts in your mouth. They have a calling system in place for service(ring the bell for service, pay your bill etc) that takes the stress off of ordering more.

the beef shank is so tender the broth is so nice as well! so our favorite has to be the beef noodles. we also ordered the salt and pepper fried chicken which is good. chicken is quite juicy and tender. the environment is a little bit too noisy for my taste though. staff were very friendly and helpful.

Decent experience with this store. Beef noodle soup was not as flavourful and rich as we had hoped. Thr stir fry noodle were lukewarmish but still tasty. Combos that came with toast/harshbrown and various items , although some selection requires $ top up. Accepts cash and debit. If you pay with credit, you have to pay additional 2% of the card charges. Kid-friendliness: Hair chair and boosters available. Children get their own utensils as well as boba cup sealed water.

Very good food. We ordered rice noodles which were nice and chewy. Also had western classic combo with lamb skewers and yam fries which were crispy and delicious. Curry sauce gave lamb great flavour. Also had egg rice which had nice variety of ingredients. Server came by only once for glass refill. In room next to screaming kids

Only the braised large intestine was well processed and clean, and the rest was very poor. Maybe the business is so busy at night, so the food is handled casually. The iron plate has two kinds of dishes (chicken steak + roasted cumin lamb). The iron plate is not hot at all, the sauce does not sizzle at all when it is poured down, and the oily noodles are mushy! The fried stinky tofu is fried in advance and is neither crispy nor hot. The sweet and spicy version is not grilled at all, just lightly fried and served with a sauce. I ordered some grilled sweet and spicy takeout at noon two days ago. It was very well baked, soft and fragrant. This one is very hard and tasteless. Very disappointed! From this experience, it is highly not recommended to come at night.

Food taste is average and so overpriced .Their champion beef noodle is disappointing, beef shank is a bit tough and the taste is bland, score 6.5/10. Rice and pork chop is so so 7/10, lu ruo fan is nothing special 7.5/10, Taiwanese popcorn chicken is good but so expensive 8/10, Japanese fried rice is good 8.5/10, hainam chicken is disappointing 7/10. The biggest rip off is their special beef roll $8.99 and it was only 4 tiny size rolls 6/10. Looks like its under new management. For good Taiwanese restaurant, my choice will still be the small shop in front of the willingdon church.

Came here for breakfast because they have 2nd breakfast 50% off. Their breakfast combos start from $15.xx and up, every combo comes with a drink if I remember correctly. We ordered 2 combos, first one was the egg/sausage/toast (Taiwanese sausage add $2 extra), plus a dish of vermicelli and a drink. 2nd combo was a congee with vermicelli and a drink. To be honest, most people wouldn t be able to finish the amount of food. I wished they would offer breakfast in smaller portions and adjust the price accordingly. If it s not for the 50% off 2nd breakfast, I would not have come. It s ridiculous if I have to spend $20+ with tax and tips for a breakfast. One more thing to note, if you want to pay by credit card, they will charge 2% extra. So either pay with cash or debit card.

They have a great breakfast special buy one combo get one for 50% off. The food is pretty good and good quality. Most importantly the service was great and will definitely bring us back. Our server was named Edmond and he was so patient and helpful with us and accommodating the menu as my mother and I are vegetarian. He was really exceptional and I wish every server cared as much as he did.

I always enjoyed coming here with my kids and family. The food is good even for a westerners taste bud. The service is very kids friendly. The TV and music choice makes it inclusive for non Chinese people to enjoy the food and atmosphere here nicely (e.g. watch a hockey game). Parking: They share the parking lot with other restaurants. So typically you will get a spot easily. But there will be times that you will not get a parking spot, which also means you will have to wait for a seat at the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: This place is super kids - friendly. Lots of people bring their kids with them. They offer a kids menu, kids utensils and and drawing supplies. Wheelchair accessibility: The space is tight, so not a lot of wheelchair capabilities in the restaurant. You might want to call ahead to reserve the large room if youre needing space for wheelchairs.

Food is now too expensive for what is offered. My beef noodle literally had 3 small pieces of beef and a cup of noodle . Same findings with the other dishes on the table we had. What happened?

It is really a pleasant experience.

I am from Ontario and had lunch here while visiting with family (March 2024). It was a DELICIOUS and memorable meal! We tried some new dishes like the Taiwanese Style Soy Sauce Braised Pork Belly (with egg, tofu and mushroom pork ball), the MYST Special Spicy Dried Pot (cauliflower, spam, lotus root, wood ear mushroom, pork cheek, potato) and the Spicy Sour Cabbage Fish Hot Pot (my favourite of the meal because of the sourness and so many tasty ingredients such as tofu, glass noodles, fish, sichuan pepper, etc). These three dishes were truly delicious and I have never tasted anything similar before. The flavours and textures were impressive to a foodie like me. We also had some classic favourite dishes like the Assorted Deep Fried Basket B (the pork blood rice cake is so good), the Stir-Fried Green Bean with minced pork, and the XinJiang cumin Lamb Skewers. For dessert we had the Hot Grass Jelly with pearls, fresh taro and mini-Q taro bites. This generous portion dessert is served hot and the sweetness level is just right (it is low sweetness). The staff was friendly and accommodating. For example, they would regularly check that our pot of barley tea was not running low, and they cleared plates quickly & efficiently. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates Asian cuisine and authentic Taiwanese flavour profiles. As I said to my family, I really wish that Myst was also located in the city where I live! Thank you, Myst!

Tried this Taiwanese style Fusion and heres my review. Food 5/5, service 3.5/5, atmosphere 4/5 only due to tight seating and loud inside. I had the hot plate today and it was most delicious with the egg noodles. Service lacked as likely due to being busy, once we had our orders taken and order served, the waiters were not going to check on you unless you ring for them even when not busy. I guess its a new style of service when you need it and not based on traditional service standards. I am used to tipping for service so this made it awkward to tip a percentage for someone taking my order and bringing my food as part of the job as a server. Regardless I still tipped a reasonable amount based on service which was slow as well since my finished plate remained on my table for nearly 5 minutes before someone came by to pick it up but didnt even ask if I needed anything else. All in all 4 out of 5 mainly for the most delicious food.

The food was delicious and is consistently delicious. The portions are huge, perfect for sharing. So much variety. There will be something for even the pickiest eater. The menu seemed to have changed so I asked the server. She didnt know the menu and made no suggestions. The atmosphere is typical Asian restaurant, LOUD and cramped. Washrooms are 3/5 stars. It was clean but I wished there was a divider between the urinals. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and the kitchen is accommodating. Dietary restrictions: Lots of dietary options and the kitchen is accommodating. Parking: Street parking is free and permitted after 6pm.

Myst is like a Taiwanese equivalent of a Cantonese café where the menu is so large and covers almost every cuisine you can think of with an Asian twist.

It s a good stop to go if you have a group of people that are feeling like different Asian food - the menu pretty much has everything covered.

Great Taiwanese comfort food. A good selection of street food. Be aware it seems that EVERYTHING deep fried is fried in the same oil vat. So the vegetarian option with deep fried bean curd is cooked in the same oil as the deep fried pork chops. Tonight I had the Thai green curry with chicken. It was excellent. I tried someone elses beef stew with beef tendon. It was also excellent. My kids devoured a basket of deep fried goodies as well as a chocolate lava cake and a strawberry jello dessert.
