Reviews for Realm Food Co. in Parksville, BC
Just had dinner here and my experience was very underwhelming. In an attempt to be considerate of the staff, we called ahead to... order our food so that we wouldn't be keeping them past their closing time (7pm). I got the Kimchi Fried Rice with Chicken andmy Wife got the West Coast Bowl. My wife was happy with her meal although the price seemed a little high ($24). I thought theKimchi Rice was good, although it didn't taste nor look fried but the Chicken wasn't flavourful and for $22 I expected a biggerportion because it wasn't enough to fill me up. There might have been a communication misunderstanding because our food wasready in a ToGo bag when we told them we wanted to dine in. It's worth mentioning that the girl at the front was very friendlywhen we arrived and very friendly to everyone leaving except for us which was awkward. Lastly, it's a big pet peeve of minewhen I have to pay for my meal ahead of time and give a tip for food I haven't received and service that has yet to beprovided. I give it a low rating due to food cost, dish quantity, food quality and the paying ahead ordeal. Read more
Gluten free options available. Good gluten free donuts. Nice Carmel sauce with apple fritter. I didn't taste apple though. I... ordered chicken ramen. It was not good. The chicken flavours didn't not work with the broth it was served in. The broth neededsalt and pepper but there was none on the table. My son had a rice wrap that just fell apart. None of their dishes are servedwith sides. 1 pulled pork sandwich with no side is 17 dollars before tax. My small soup was 16 before tax. Read more
This is only my second time at Realm, but I will be back so many times. The food is healthy and so so delicious.
While camping out in parksville we decided to find a decent place to eat. We noticed lots of people getting take out from Realm.... We were intrigued and were immediately met with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. To be honest I didn?t realize the ideabehind this place in before we sat down. The goal of realm is to provided locally sourced and sustainable products. I absolutelyloved the concept and wanted to truly enjoy it. The prices were higher than expected but I didn?t mind if I was paying forquality ingredients. The portions were small and somewhat bland. My partner and I both agreed that we feel 100% satisfied withthe value. We felt that we could get food that was better somewhere else and also cheaper. We have come to understand that whilethis restaurant is about the food, it is more so about the way the food is sourced. For the crowd that enjoys this sort of foodit is a fantastic place to go. For myself I must say Realm was not for me. It?s best for people to understand this may not befor everyone. Read more
The chef at Realm has it figured out! Best bowl I?ve ever had. Fresh ingredients, perfect portion size, super flavourful and... beautiful presentation. Loved it so much, we went back the next day to pick up take out for lunch. Read more
Lovely atmosphere, great variety, super tasty tacos, their apple juice was fresh and super tasty. Would recommend if you're... looking for vegetarian, or vegan, good eats ????? Read more
This place has amazing food and smoothies. The reason I gave 4/5 stars is that they take a long time to get the food ready even... though we didn?t order much - some smoothies and breakfast sandwiches ???? but were told 45min. Also they are closed Mondays -when we got there on Tuesday it said they?re closed today as well as they are restocking? Drove away disappointed ???? Highlyrecommend espresso smoothies. Also posting full menu as there was none online. Apparently you can also order from thenonline? Overall once they get organized - highly recommend this place! Read more
