Four Mile Food Co

Ordered the Spicy & Sour Lamb Dumplings for lunch from the Four Mile Food Co, off Glebe road. I could have gotten it spicer, but stick with regular spicy since it was my first time, but not my last! Ordering was seamless and so was pick up. I can see how parking can be an issue when ordering at lunchtime or dinner rush but don't let that stop you from checking out this ghost kitchen.

This place is more of a hub for food deliveries and takeout. There's one small counter for maybe 2 people to dine in, but you'll be in a tiny space where people order and are waiting for their food to go. You can go in and order on a kiosk; there's a lot of different vendors available and a wide variety. I went because Xi'an Famous Foods was here. We went to nearby Fraser Park to eat our noodles. SO GOOD. Oh yeah parking sucks, it's really tight. Maybe park further away and walk, or if you live nearby, just doordash it.

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. I found out about four mile food co because I reached out to them back in April when they announced Xi'an famous foods from NY will be coming to town. I immediately DMed them and they responded to let me know that it'll be soon. Then in June when it finally opened they actually reached out to let me know!! Honestly that was the highlight for me. But then when I ordered it was simple. I ordered on the website. Sat in my car til it was ready. When it said it was ready I scanned that screen onto a tablet in the waiting area, and a little locker opened up and my food was inside. It was fresh and it was great. Zero complaints. I've been telling everyone to go to Four Mile Food Co to try all the food! Because I sure as hell will be going back! :)

This is a takeout/delivery driver only location. The people are nice. The food was awful!!! Never had grits stuck in my teeth. Catfish that was blackened and SALTY instead of just grilled. And parking in the area has no adequate signage. Online ordering should warn customers: Do NOT park in front of the smoke shop no matter how crowded it is. Tow trucks are just waiting to snatch your car and make you pay through the nose to get it back. I hated everything about this experience.

I've ordered from Xian Famous Foods, Jammin Island BBQ, Falvor Hive & Lolita's. 10/10 for all of them. Xian Famous Foods turns off their ordering for a few hours throughout the day so pay attention to that. Seamless process & flow from ordering to getting your food. Def a neighborhood staple!

If you're coming here, make sure you have already used the bathroom. There is no public bathroom. Your orders will be delayed and you will be waiting a tiny room. I feel sad that the restaurants here serves good food, but the operations, and set up of the place is not convenient for customers coming in to order. It is catered mainly for Uber and grubhub. Very easy to spend quite a lot of money here for the food, but it is not a good place to order in person.

I want to like this because the concept is cool but it just doesn't execute well. There are many issues with this ghost kitchen in particular. It's way too easy for restaurants to offer poor products and services while hiding behind walls, and that's exactly what happens. No orders are ever delivered within the time windows which are already pretty outrageous and its impossible to get simple things like silverware with your order. There is also not nearly enough parking near around this location to accommodate the mass amount of orders and people coming in = constant traffic jam. There are also several dumpsters and a huge used oil vat sitting immediately outside the pick-up area so it's really unsanitary. I've wasted far too much of my time waiting outside this establishment.

Their parking lot is a hot nightmare. It is so poorly designed and they allow trucks on their lot. Don’t go there, however much you like the food, the parking lot is so dangerous that it’s not worth it.
