Amazing take-out dishes & soups, with the freshest possible seafood variety from the shop. Clam chowder was amazing, with chunks of fresh seafood in it, and the ahi tuna poke was very fresh, with decent amount & price. I would strongly recommend this take-out if you are looking for a quick, healthy bite!

No frills, good price, straight flavor. Simple atmosphere and set up. Magnificent food. I bought the Salmon Burger which came with a salad. The price was excellent. The burger was excellent. They even had a table with spices. Ok! p.s. I love these people for what they have down to cuisine

I have tried a lot of different lunch spots. I would eat their food every single day. It was the freshest! So many different fresh fish dishes and other seafood items, mixed in healthy bowls, tacos, or sandwiches. Big fan, they were consistently really solid. My favourites were the miso halibut or sablefish bowls with an extra side of shrimp! Food 10/10 Atmosphere N/A take out Service 10/10 Value 10/10 Extremely rare that I give tens but this is well deserved.

I’m visiting for a month in Vancouver since last week and it’s my first seafood local meal. They are very kind and all meals I ordered were great. So delicious. I want to go this place again before I go back to my country.

Nell's kitchen is a hidden gem. It's as close to a literal analogy as possible as it is tucked by the window of a fresh fish store. It was the first location where fish burgers and sandwiches are not dry. Albeit, 16 dollars for a salmon burger, the price, from my experience as an avid food consumer, is justified. The freshness of the fish as well as how recently the food was prepped is reflected not only in the flavours, but the texture as well. Nell was polite, concise, and quick with her orders. She was manning the kitchen by herself but went through the short line of customers with ease. A must-visit location from anyone living in Greater Vancouver. I stopped by as I was in need of a lunch and was passing by, but it is a trek I am willing to make from Coquitlam.

We came here for a late lunch. Their food is fresh, simple, & delish. There are chairs available outside. Why not enjoy your food by the ocean. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables along Ambleside. They’re located right inside the Village Fish & Oyster Market off 15th and Marine Drive in West Vancouver. Lunch’s from 11 am to 3 pm. Food: 5/5 - tasty fresh seafood. Lots of fresh and healthy ingredients. If you like halibut and ahi tuna, go for the Halibut Tom Yum over a bed of rice or the Ahi Tuna Tataki bowl. Ambience: 3/5 - seating outside but best to enjoy it at the beach. Service: 5/5 great service & friendly staff Free parking on the street.

I was in West Van area and decided to check Nell's Kitchen. It was the best bowls I have ever tried. Extremely delicious and healthy. I loved every single bowl and it was the best clam chowder I have ever tried! So bad I live pretty far from this area! Thank you Nell for your delicious bowls.

This place is amazing! A small take-out counter in a local fish shop. The food is super fresh and tasty. The first time I tried the halibut glory bowl, and the 2nd time I tried a salmon bowl + shrimp tom yum style which was delicious. I may be stuck on that combo for a while. It was about $5 to add 5-6 shrimp, which was totally worth it to me. I highly recommend a fish + shrimp tom yum bowl. The chef Nell is super nice as well. I ll be visiting Nell s again soon!

Chose Nell s kitchen as my birthday lunch to introduce it to my friends. We ordered two tomyum bowls, a prawn taco bowl, a miso sable fish bowl, and the clam chowders. All bowls were amazing. Fish was so fresh, cooked perfectly, flavours balanced and the chowder was so chunky and flavourful. A little extra touch for the birthday girl made a lovely surprise. Thank you Nell! Ate it on a beach bench in the sunshine. Couldn t have been more perfect! Love it here.

I ordered a halibut burger and a Boston clam chowder. I can t say enough good things about Nell s Kitchen. The fish is always fresh as it s located in a fish store and the recipes are always spot on. The bowls are very well balanced and are a great healthy meal. Even the coleslaw has the extra ingredient or two that make it special. Very well thought out and executed menu.

Ordered two miso bowls with halibut. One was missing the mushrooms and the halibut portions were very small. But it was tasty and fresh.

December 23, 2022

Customer service is lacking. Nell seemed impatient and annoyed as I ordered a salad to go. Apparently you should order online instead of walking in. I won t be back.

The size of the fish was a joke. The salmon burger had a sliver of salmon - couldnt have been thinner. And the sablefish and halibut bowl had the smallest piece of fish. We were stunned to see how small it was when we opened the bowl. For dishes btw $17-19 for take out that is of this quality, Id rather go to a proper restaurant.

I found Nell s just after she opened as I worked across the street and I think I was in there for lunch two or three times a week. The food is amazing. I can recommend the Miso butter bowl with shrimp or fish, prawn taco bowl and the poke bowl. Honestly anything on the menu is delicious. I cannot wait to make it back and have it again soon!
