Most important thing first of all, this isn’t a food court.
It’s an automated food pickup place. The parking is a nightmare. Think those Amazon lockers at Whole Foods except for food. They have multiple kitchens inside offering different kinds of food. You order online, when ready, get a link to unlock a locker where your food is, and pick it up.
Is the food good? We got Xian Chinese noodles and Jamaican jerk chicken, along with unusual drinks like Guava and Tamarind. Overall, not bad, and I’d give it 4/5 stars. It’s not the best out there. I definitely won’t drive an hour up there again or struggle to park. The drinks were about $8 on average, and they do not justify the price tag. In other words, skip the drinks. Try the food, sure. There’s no atmosphere here because there are no places to sit. Everyone comes to pick up food. If you live in the area, avoid the headache and just order delivery.

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 ordered from Greek Street Gyros and was thoroughly disappointed. The steak wrap had very little steak and was poorly wrapped, so it fell apart immediately. My wife got the chicken bowl and said the chicken tasted old and dry. The taste seemed off with both. Very disappointing and will not be risking it again.

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! 🙂

Love the concept, but it has its flaws. Parking is extremely limited and I would caution against driving further inside if the few spots out front are taken because of how narrow it is. A lot of the food I’ve tried has been really good (Xi An, Que Rico and Jamaican Breeze!) but when there are issues with orders it is impossible to get help – specifically naming Lolita’s Filipino restaurant, where my order took over an hour to be ready and no one would come to the counter to give me an update or even let me cancel it, after repeatedly requesting help through the tablet.

The actual concept of this ghost kitchen place is pretty neat… however, I dislike how staff are not easily accessible for problems with the order… I feel like there should be at least one person hired to come to the front desk maybe every 30 minutes to see if people waiting out front are okay…
I had been waiting there for one hour, before a staff member came up to deliver an order… and then I got the opportunity to complain that I had been waiting for my food from NUVEGAN for an hour… she was then able to get someone from that restaurant to assist me.
The Nuvegan employee then apologized and said the wait took so long because their employee just came in, the person scheduled to work at 11am today supposedly didn’t show up… and then on top of that, they ran out of the specific item I ordered… so I never even got what I ordered and they wasted my time… if someone was consistently checking to make sure that people were okay in the lobby, then maybe I would’ve gotten this notification SOONER. I drove 45 minutes to this location for no reason… SO infuriating…
Also, like everyone else says, the parking is terrible. There’s no ands if or buts about it. But there’s not much that they can do about it…
I ended up getting noodles from Xian Famous Foods and it was okay… I don’t see what the hype is about. My nephew found a hair in his lamb burger… the noodles weren’t bad but I wouldn’t drive that far for it again.

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.

This place is literally a cubicle behind a gas station. There’s barely any parking and I ended up trapped in a cul de sac for several minutes behind other vehicles unsuccessfully looking for spots, before finally managing to back out. My order was supposedly ready but when I finally got to the counter, no one was there. Finally I had to repeatedly yell into the back for several minutes before anyone came to assist.
As for the food… the hand-ripped Xian noodles–the dish that “turned Anthony Bourdain into a fan”–were basically a solid clump of starch swimming in chili oil. I needed a knife and fork to cut the clump into edible pieces. Cucumber salad was just chunks of cucumber swimming in the exact same chili oil.

Greek Street Gyros. Not worth $18. I got the steak. The pita is thin so the obviously they put wet pickled onions on first. Ripped right through the pita. Flavor is not bad. Worth about 12 bucks. No atmosphere as expected it’s CoOp. Service is a locker.
