[...] loved the Baked Sago Pudding so much at Koon Lock (Koon Bo’s previously related restaurant). So we had to order [...]

Oooh, that pudding is exactly the recipe I’ve been looking for. It’s only available at 1 dimsum place in nyc as far as I know..

The thing to definitely get at both Koon Bo or Koon Lok is the shredded chicken salad. That’s what keeps me coming back…

I love those tapioca puddings. My favourite is at Top Gun J&C (“Jeem Dong”) Restaurant in Richmond on McKim Way. Theirs uses black sesame instead of yam and (unless I’m mixing it up with some other place) has a crispy top.

I live in the neighborhood and have been both to Koon Lok and Koon Bo restaurants. You should try out Koon Bo’s shredded chicken salad…it was listed in Van Mag’s 101 Things to Taste Before You Die list

I tried the roasted squabs at Koon Bo (which is the brother’s restaurant of Koon Lock) and I still think the best is from Sun Sui Wah on Main Street – as well as the best tapioca pudding is also found at Sun Sui Wah.

I’ve been to the one on Royal Oak across from the Chevron before…I can’t remember the name either hah. It’s too far for me to go to, and yea it does get busy at lunch time.

There’s a new bubble tea/food joint on Kingsway just east of Nelson. In fact it’s maybe 3-4 doors west of that Korean restaurant (next to the Chevron) you reviewed. Sorry I didn’t take note of their name.

The other one is on Royal Oak, about 100 feet north of Rumble, on the east side. Directly across street from yet another Chevron. I like their lunch combo boxes better. Place is frequented by high schoolers from Burnaby South. Again I don’t even know the place’s name.

Related to above is another Taiwanese restaurant this side on the west side of Royal Oak, adjacent to the Chevron. It’s call Sunflower Cafe. Decent beef noodles and other popular Taiwanese foods. Again the clientele is mostly young people, bringing an upbeat but civilized ambience. I come to Sunflower or the place across the street about twice a month.

Hi LotusRapper:
Good catch! Koon Lock is located on Fraser and 47th. Oh yeah … send me your recommendation for Taiwanese Crispy Pork/Chicken Chop.

“Koon Lock is located on Fraser and 27th.” – contrary to the title, this must have been just a typo.
