We’re breaking down the top three restaurant winners in each of the 32 categories included in this year’s awards, as voted by you.

Here are the winners of the best food court spot in Burnaby.

First place: Thai Express

With over 350 locations across the globe, Thai Express has long been a huge ambassador for Thai food, “making pad Thai as common as hamburgers.” Their noodles and fried rice always have us running back for more, not to mention crispy fried treats like spring rolls and fried “bok bok” chicken.

Second place: Bubble Waffle Cafe

Bubble Waffle Cafe is so much more than a waffle shop—you can find a long list of classic Chinese and Japanese snacks like takoyaki and rice rolls, as well as a full soup bar that lets you choose your unique base, noodle and topping. Whether you’re looking for a quick food court snack or a complete meal, they’ve got both.

Address: 4820 Kingsway #342, Burnaby

Third place: Soon Coffee

If you’re a coffee connoisseur, look no further than Soon Coffee. Dedicated to crafting the perfect cup, their unique coffee blends result in a final product that’s rich, chocolatey and has little acidity. Whether you order a drip, latte or double espresso, every cup strikes a wonderful balance of flavour.
