3/5 Penny Rusty S. 5 years ago on Google
For
the
better
part
of
my
childhood,
I
grew
up
in
East
Van…
specifically,
in
the
area
close
to
the
PNE.
Back
in
the
day,
it
was
hardly
the
place
known
for
being
able
to
find
restaurants
of
any
kind.
However,
over
the
last
few
years,
a
new
bunch
of
eateries
have
popped
up
around
the
northeast
corner
of
Vancouver.
One
such
place
that
I
noticed
in
my
social
media
feed
recently
was
Dundas
Eat
and
Drink.
Located
in
a
tiny
mini
mall
that
I
remember
frequenting
when
I
was
in
elementary
school,
Dundas
Eat
and
Drink
is
a
bit
hidden
from
view
and
isn’t
immediately
noticeable
from
the
street.
Based
on
their
menu
that
I
glanced
before
showing
up,
I
knew
to
expect
an
eclectic
array
of
asian
and
western
fusion
dishes.
Not
knowing
which
dishes
were
best
here,
we
decided
to
try
a
bunch
of
items…
first
up
was
the
Mango
Smoothie
($5.95)
and
Lime
Soda
($3.95).
It
seemed
like
they
had
trouble
figuring
out
how
to
make
my
lime
soda
because
you
could
see
them
behind
the
bar
struggling
trying
to
get
the
right
balance
of
ice,
soda,
and
syrup,
tasting
it
(hope
they
used
a
new
spoon
each
time),
then
readjusting
and
tasting
again,
over
and
over…
We
ordered
up
the
Garlic
Butter
Wings
($12)
but,
unfortunately,
they
wound
up
giving
us
Honey
Garlic
Wings
instead.
When
we
mentioned
this
to
the
server,
she
acknowledged
that
she
put
in
the
wrong
order
and
they
took
this
off
our
bill.
When
our
actual
order
of
garlic
butter
wings
arrived,
we
looked
at
them
long
and
hard
because
they
looked
very
similar
to
the
honey
garlic
wings.
Tentatively
taking
a
bite,
we
confirmed
that
they
were
in
fact
different
(the
honey
garlic
wings
being
a
bit
too
sweet
for
our
liking)
but
lacked
any
real
flavour.
We
also
thought
the
breading
that
they
used
with
their
wings
was
a
bit
distracting
and
just
didn’t
do
anything
for
the
wings
themselves.
The
item
that
we
were
looking
forward
to
was
their
Dundas
Platter
($16.75)
which
comes
with
a
good
selection
of
appies
to
share:
spring
roll,
salad
roll,
chicken
satay
skewer,
beef
skewer,
and
cassava
fries
with
a
vinaigrette
sauce,
a
peanut
sauce,
and
a
house
spicy
mayo
sauce.
The
best
of
the
bunch
was
definitely
the
crispy
spring
roll
while
the
salad
roll
seemed
to
be
wrapped
too
loosely
making
it
difficult
to
eat
as
it
fell
apart
easily.
The
sauces
were
a
bit
on
the
weak
side.
Probably
the
best
dish
that
we
had
here
was
the
Pad
Thai
with
Prawns
($14.75)
which
had
a
nice
amount
of
caramelization
to
the
rice
noodles.
Overall,
there
were
a
couple
of
good
items
here
and
a
bunch
that
were
just
meh
given
the
price.
