Havana on Commercial Drive is an absolute gem in Vancouver! 🌟🇨🇺 From the moment we walked in, the energy was buzzing ⚡ — warm, vibrant, and so welcoming. The décor is colorful 🎨, the music is lively 🎶, and the whole vibe just feels like a mini vacation! ☀️🌴 Perfect for date night ❤️, casual hangouts 🍻, or even solo chill time.
Food:
We went all in — and wow. 🤤 We had the Cubano sandwich 🥪, pulled pork tacos 🌮, and plantain chips with guac 🍌🥑 to start. Every bite = flavor explosion. 💥 The Cubano was perfectly pressed and cheesy 🧀, the tacos were juicy and fresh, and those plantains… dreamy. Don’t skip dessert either — the churros were warm, crispy, and dipped in chocolate heaven 🍫🔥.
Drinks:
Cocktails were on point — we tried the Mojito 🍃🍸 and the Havana Old Fashioned 🥃. So refreshing and bold. Bartenders here know their craft. 👨🍳👏
Service:
Service was amazing! 🙌 Everyone we met was friendly 😄, super helpful, and genuinely passionate about the place. Shoutout to our server for solid recos and great vibes the whole time ✨💬
Atmosphere:
Cozy inside 🛋️, but the patio is a total vibe 🌇🔥. It’s heated, covered, and perfect for people-watching on The Drive. Great music, cool art on the walls 🖼️, and the whole place has that laid-back but buzzing feel.
Pro tips:
• 📅 Book ahead on weekends — it gets packed!
• 🍳 Check out brunch — it’s a hidden gem.
• 🥗 Plenty of veggie + gluten-free options!
• 🎭 Bonus: there’s a theatre in the back for local performances. So cool!
Final thoughts:
This spot gets it. ✅ Food slaps, drinks hit, staff rules, and the vibe is immaculate. 💯

Sushi was okay. I’ve had better. Didn’t taste super fresh, but it was alright. Nice to have gluten free options. Forgot to include chop sticks in my bag, and since I am travelling and staying at a hotel, I had to use my fingers, not ideal, but not the end of the world. I’d try somewhere else next time. Staff was not overly friendly.

Brother ordered the Lamb Shank $36
Mother ordered the Wild Salmon Salad $15-17
Myself ordered the Pork Belly Bowl $20
Order Total came out to be about $76
Service was good. Kept refilling our water.
Atmosphere didn't match the food because it made me think more of a Bar Grill rather than an Asian fusion restaurant.
The Food made us feel like we tossed money for mostly Salad.
Lamb Shank Dish has no Rice, Just a bone with a tiny bit of meat on top of a bed of Salad. This felt like the most rip off scam of them all. For something very highly priced. You can go to other surrounding restaurants for Lamb, same portions for a 1/3rd of the price.
Wild Salmon Salad. Thin slices of salmon on top a bed of Salad. Crunched up peanuts and Edamame.
With the portion ratio. At the same price you can get Fish and Chips. Offering you more substantially more portion to fill your stomach.
Pork Belly Bowl. For something Gluten Sensitive. There's barely any Rice nor Pork Belly. 3 slices of pork belly, a bit of salad and rice lesser than a small bowl that goes for less than $5. $20 just makes you feel guilty for eating there not in a good way at all.
Aesthetically the food is pleasing to the eyes in terms of appearance. Portion and ratio of ingredients are very poor. The Plating doesn't make up for how much money was thrown out of our pockets.
This cozy spot offers a chill vibe and bustling atmosphere ideal for gluten-free diners. The staff are phenomenally accommodating to gluten intolerance, ensuring a comfortable experience. The cozy atmosphere enhances a memorable dining outing for those seeking gluten-free options.

The food was amazing! And the staff were phenomenal under such busy conditions.
We were accommodated as walk ins (we were there 10-15 mins prior to dinner service opening) and the staff sat us at the bar.
My wife and I are both gluten intolerant, and the staff were so accommodating.
The cocktails were fantastic.
One of the best dining experiences we’ve had from every perspective: quality of food, friendliness of the wait and bar staff and the excellent drinks.
Made our stay in Vancouver a lot better!
