Haven Kitchen - LANGLEY TOWNSHIP

Haven was just heavenly. Came here on a whim for some late night eats and everything we had was just perfect. Started off with some crunchy tempura coconut prawns. The taste was perfect and the dipping sauce had a nice sweet heat as well. The poke bowl was a little overwhelming with the sesame chips as the ratio was a bit off to how much poke there was. Either cut down on the chips or increase the poke. My favourite dish was the noodles. Bursting with flavours that was sweet and tangy. The noodles were cooked well. My only disappointment was the lemongrass chicken skewer just tasted mostly like lemon. It's missing that authentic Asian lemongrass taste. Other than that, we enjoyed the service and ambiance of the place as a perfect date spot. Music wasn't too loud so you could carry on a conversation and it was nicely decorated.

Stairway to Haven... This place has been recommended to me numerous times by one of my customer. But so far I didn 't have much luck with recommendations. Nevertheless, I finally decided to give it a try since I have never been here before. This place is located on 64th avenue close to Willbrook Mall and its parking lot is located on its east side (don 't mistaken park at the pub parking lot next to it). There is an enclosed patio on the outside, greeted by the hostess upon entering, bar to the left entrance, tables and booth seats on the other side with high ceiling, a flight of stairs lead to a second level of dining. The overall layout and vibe reminded me of Cactus Club and Joey 's. Here were the food I ordered; 1. Haven Caesar (single shot). It was okay, pretty average. 2. Aelo apertivo spritz. A light refreshing taste, nice little mock tail. 3. Gyoza from another planet. A bit overkill with all the ingredients making the simple gyoza lost itself in space. 4. Tempura coconut prawns. A crunchier version of the coconut prawns that Whitespot and Milestone serve. Missing the tempura theme, a light fluffy crisp, which can be easier achieved. 5. Dill pickle fried chicken wings. A bit over cooked and barely notice any dill pickle taste. It was a bit bland without the house made ranch sauce. 6. Broiled char siu salmon. The sauce was giving the taste buds that intriguing and flavourful sensation. It blended very well with everything, unfortunately the salmon was overcooked and missing the light char on the edges to be considered char siu . 7. 14oz AAA charbroiled ribeye steak. It was a lot of steak, nicely done but it reminded me of a country style steak. I personally find the sauce were more like a pasta sauce then a steak sauce. This is a nice little place if you are into the atmosphere and vibe in places like Cactus, Earles, and Joey, etc... The service here was quite friendly and attentive. Nice to see all the staffs were active all the time. As for the food, they were okay but fell a bit short on their descriptive theme (simple adjustment if desired to do so). Sometimes a simple adjustment can brighten the guiding light on the stairway to food haven.

Ladies night out. Reservation for 3 at 7pm Resturant is packed. Difficult to find parking so we just got dropped off. Decor was lovely, kinda made you feel Like you were somewhere else. Food selection there weren't that many. But what we ordered everything was very good. We mostly went for the cocktails so I forgot to take pictures of the food. Cocktails were delicious ! It's a perfect place for fun drinks and snacks with friends. I'd definitely will come back for the drinks!

Pretty cool tropical themed restaurant by Willowbrook. Parking is available in the lot next to the building. I must say that the interior is fantastic. They nailed the tropical haven theme. There are plenty of trees, and lantern looking lights. Looks like most of the seating is actually in the upstairs mezzanine. Staff are friendly and professional. Food is pretty pricy here. My friends and I had already eaten, so we shared a dish of dill pickle fried chicken wings. There are some 10 wings in total. Nice and crispy, and the pickle slices add a bit of tang. Delicious. Definitely a good venue for spending an evening over some drinks . Recommended.

This was my first time visiting Haven, and I was immediately impressed by their outdoor decor! The plants and waiting area with a fire pit felt very cozy and classy. Going inside, the decor felt bright and modern, with a lot of patterns and cool wallpaper. Service was friendly and attentive. As I was visiting on a Monday, it was all day happy hour, so my partner and I shared the Pipikaula ribs. I felt it was too salty, but the crisp outside and tender meat inside was perfect for me. The dipping sauce was okay for me I think it could have done well with a little more acid to balance out the rib. The pork belly dish had wonderful hearty flavours! The sauce pulled everything together, along with the mushrooms and cabbage. The pork was tender and flavourful. The piece was very large and fatty (as it was pork belly), so we ended up taking a decent amount home. The salmon was cooked perfectly too! It was seasoned well, though I found the sauce to be too acidic and not sweet enough. I liked the charred gai lan and pea shoots garnish as it added to the freshness of the dish. The whipped potatoes for both entrées were done well! Smooth and soaked up flavours. I would come back to try more appetizers and entrées!
