Oh boy, is it cold outside! Christmas is over, the new year is here, and yet we’ve got many weeks to go before the weather warms up and the world starts feeling alive again.
We published our first list of comfort food spots in the city a while ago, and we thought it was time for part two, to start the new year off right.
Try out one of the restaurants on this list of places to find comfort food in Burnaby.
This spot for Korean fried chicken has become hugely popular across the Lower Mainland. With three locations in Burnaby, and plenty of flavours on the menu, they’ve got something for everyone! Make sure to try the famously sweet and spicy Yangyeom, but don’t skip the cheesy deliciousness of the Cheese Snow Chicken. If you’re stuck between two options, try the half and half combo!
Address: 4429 Kingsway, Burnaby / 7531 Market Crossing, Burnaby / 7343 Edmonds St, Burnaby
Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba specializes in brothless ramen served with thick chewy multigrain noodles. You can choose from 11 different ingredients to pair with your mazesoba—including cubed pork chashu, spicy minced pork, bamboo shoots, and raw egg yolk. Additionally, there are plenty of other menu options for you to try like classic ramen, donburi and karaage bao buns.
Address: 6040 Silver Dr, Burnaby / 106-1901 Rosser Ave, Burnaby
Authentic, homestyle Italian pasta and pizza—what could be more comforting than that? Claudio’s Ristorante opened in North Burnaby last year, brought to us by the same team behind the iconic Pasta Amore. For extra cozy feels, make sure to try the arancini, the spaghetti carbonara, and the tiramisu for dessert.
Address: #103-4402 Skyline Drive, Burnaby
The best kind of fusion: a place where you can get samosas and mogo at the same time. Safari Snack House melds East African flavours with Indian traditions, and boy is it delicious and comforting! We’ve got our eyes on those pili-pili potato wedges for sure .
Address: 5121 Canada Way, Burnaby
This spot just off Kingsway opened to big acclaim just a few months ago, and one visit tells you why! Hot pot is the ultimate comfort food, with warm, soothing broths and hearty meats and vegetables. Big Way has a huge variety of stuff to put in your soup (there are eight options of broth, by the way), and they’ll also give you a free soft serve at the end for dessert. Plus, boozy bubble teas
Address: 7-4300 Kingsway, Burnaby
OEB Breakfast Co. should be your next destination for a rich, hearty brunch! They do amazing eggs benny—like their Truffled Square, which has braised butternut squash and truffle mushrooms—but if you’re craving something comforting, the real star of the show is their selections of breakfast poutines. The potatoes will send you straight to culinary heaven! They also do classic breakfast and mimosas.
Address: #2306-4525 Lougheed Hwy, Burnaby
From mouth-watering savoury options like a classic chicken pot pie or a spinach and feta pie to delicious dessert options like butter pecan and apple cranberry, The Pie Hole has what you’re looking for for a cozy night in! Pie just makes people happy. The Pie Hole changes up its pre-order menu weekly, so make sure to plan ahead through their website!
Address: 7832 6th Street, Burnaby
Is pho the most comforting food in the world? It’s very possible. Is Pho 24 Express one of the best places in Burnaby to get it? Also very possible. This hole-in-the-wall may be unassuming at first glance, but it’s well worth a try! Alongside their warming soups, they also have Vietnamese subs and rice dishes on offer—try the chicken curry and rice!
Address: 4520 Kingsway, Burnaby
