Born in Saskatoon but moved eventually to Vancouver when I was a kid (damn snow every time in SK). Kingsway area, Vancouver part mostly. I think I know of that resto you speak of LOL.
The great part (depends on your viewpoint) is they FILL/PILE your take out full of food. Then you ask , why is it so cheap? I know places where until now (or 2019 last time I was there) , I can get a full serving of 3 choices for $4 with rice or noodles. and they’re not even close to Chinatown. Chinatown charges you more because it’s a tourist trap.
Born in Eston, moved to Saskatoon when I was four.
Went to school at Mayfair Elementary, before we moved to Van in 1965.
Vancouver was beautiful then.
