The origin of The Story Café emerged from the mantra “There is a story in everything”So in 2018 when we fell upon a 30 year old warehouse, we saw the potential to transform the abandoned space into a warm, hospitable, unique eatery. Through consistent innovation, research and dedication we managed to blend our affinity for coffee, music, food and antique into a ambient mélange of vintage and nostalgia. Today, we proudly present our eatery to newcomers and are considered a staple in the Richmond community! We are excited to share with you that our restaurant has been voted for the OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2023 and 2024 award for multiple categories in Vancouver! This prestigious award is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional dining experiences and top-notch service to our customers.Vancouver / British Columbia best for : Live Music and Contemporary AmericanVancouver Suburbs best for : HotSpot

Overall is excellent. Just the wine list didn’t have much selection. A bit noisy and ventilation wasn’t the best. Besides that the food was excellent n service was good.

I've been going to Oddfish for many years and their service is always beyond 5*'s. They are so gracious and kind. Food and drinks are topnotch! I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly! If you have not tried Oddfish, you owe it to yourself to do so :)

Wild mushroom soup is ok but not great. Bone-in pork chop is juicy but too salty. Honey mussels is good.
