Pho Galaxy Restaurant - Where to Eat in Chilliwack
With fall already making its show in a splash of colour, and winter quickly approaching, Pho Galaxy Restaurant is the perfect place to warm up and enjoy a hot, delicious meal.
Their menu has a wide selection of pho (dictionary definition of pho: a type of Vietnamese soup, typically made from beef stock and spices to which noodles and thinly sliced beef or chicken are added), alongside other variations and menu items that can please anyone’s lunch desires.
Whether we order in or take-out, as much as we love a steaming bowl of pho catered to our own preferences with its wide assortment of seasoning, noodle, vegetable and meat options, one of our personal favourite items on the menu is the salad roll, which, when broken down, is just an excuse we use to enjoy the delicious peanut sauce that accompanies it.
Located at 45863 Yale Rd (on the corner of Yale & Wolfe - map below), it can be a tight fit to find parking BUT there is parking available just 1/2 a block away on the corner of School & Wolfe Rd.
Yale Sushi - Great Place for Sushi in Chilliwack
Yale Sushi - Great Place for Sushi in Chilliwack
If you're anything like us, you love a night of good sushi. Throw in some hot sake and spicy tuna rolls and we're having a great time.
Yale Sushi, located in the Southgate Shopping Mall on Yale & Hodgins (map below), is a wonderful little sushi restaurant that is great to stop in and enjoy your meal; OR call ahead and pick up some take-out.
For our recent night with family we shared one of their party trays and added a couple little things for people's special diets and there was more than enough to go around. Personal highlights would have been the Dragon Roll (spicy tuna) and the Yam Tempura.

Old Yale Brewing Cask Days
We are fans of Old Yale Brewing and LOVE the Wednesday Cask Days.
Every Wednesday at 2pm, OYB taps a one-off cask that is usually experimental and based off one of their main beers. This week it was the West Coast IPA with mint, lime and white rum. Really tasty! A lot of times the cask will be something based on the season or an upcoming event and is always worth the stop in on a Wednesday to try it out.
Go enjoy a fresh, new beer! You'll be glad you did!
63 Acres & Fraser Valley Meats
Father's Day around here involves a new tradition.
After spending the day with the kids playing baseball, video and board games, the meat party gets started. Kids get tucked in bed just as the lump charcoal gets lit and the tomahawk steak from Fraser Valley Meats is sitting on the counter waiting for some basic seasoning.
The Tomahawk Steak is just a cool piece of meat. It's not some out of this world cut of beef; don't get me wrong, it's damn tasty but it's nothing out of the ordinary except for the the large bone left on.
Seasoned with SPG (salt, pepper and a bit of garlic) you let the beef taste run free when you're done. Personally, reverse sear is the way to go with beef. Cook the steak to 120-130 degrees and then get your coals nice and hot. Slap that steak on top of those hot coals and get some flames rolling. Deliciousness ensues.
I've had 63 Acres beef from Fraser Valley Meats a few times now and I've been more than happy with it. It's true what they say, you get what you pay for. Enjoy!
PS - Fraser Valley Meats is undergoing a big construction project and it's pretty exciting to check out!

Baker Gourmet - Chilliwack Food Truck
Baker & Co. Gourmet - Chilliwack Food Truck
**UPDATE**
Baker & Co. Gourmet Food Truck is now closed.
We recently went to try out the new food truck, located at the NEW Vedder Park close to the Vedder Bridge and UFV Campus (check the map below to see where to find the park and food truck).
The Baker Gourmet Food Truck is located right next to the ample parking lot and even has a couple of large tents with tables and chairs. We ordered three things: Neets Nuggets (chicken fingers), a Flat Top Dog (with everything on it) and some Better Baker Bacon Cheese Fries. It was delicious and we had leftovers to take home.
It's a great place to end up after a walk down the Rotary Trail or a morning of fishing on the river. Bring your dog or kid for a play in the park and then enjoy an amazing food truck feast. With a debit machine on hand, you don't even need to have cash to bring along.
