Reviews for American Cheesesteak Company - Metrotown in Burnaby, BC

I was a fan of the original in Downtown Vancouver and was saddened when it closed, so I was thrilled to see one opened in... Metrotown. All in all the food was good, although I would have preferred the bun to be soft. It was very crunchy, which made thesandwich harder to eat. That said, the portions are generous, the flavour great (I had The Cowboy, my fave) and the servicequick. There's a very small area to dine in, maybe seats 8-10 max. Good value. Read more

Loved seeing my onion sit and get cold for 3 minutes before my sandwich was even ready. Even better watching my bread and meat... overcook while the person struggles to make 3 sandwiches. Would've asked for a refund meat was overcooked and chewy , bread washard like croutons. Never going back and also over priced at $20 for a sandwich onion rings and a drink. I can get the samething from a food truck for nearly half the price Read more

Located on the 2nd floor, right under Cineplex and close to Winners store. I bumped into this cozy little place a few days ago.... I tried their bestsellers, The New Yorker & The Cowboy. Both were super yummy. The meat was juicy, just the right temperatureand the sauce was, ohhhhh, so good!! The quantity is a bang-for-the-buck. They even have a good seating area, sufficient for atleast 10 folks. The music adds to the chill ambience of the place. The attendants were extremely courteous. Must try for meatlovers. I am definitely coming back for sure. Highly recommended!! Read more

Lucky to have found this hidden Gem. When it comes to Sandwiches we don't have many good option in Vancouver let alone Philly... classic Cheesesteak. It has one of the best one i ever tried and i did try the authentic ones back in Philadelphia. Perfectcombination, I tried his New Yorker, extra yummy with high-quality prime beef steak, made fresh to perfection. Will drive backand try again. Well Worth it! Read more

That's THE chef who created all sandwiches in The American Cheeseteak Company in Metrotown. He prepared one of his signature... sammys that he would usually offer only in December, a Japanese Style cheesesteak for us: wagyu beef, with ponzu sauce,mushrooms, onion, cheese, gently caramelized it all with a handheld butane torch after and then drizzled with Wasabi mayo,topped with some seaweed and sesame seeds. I tasted layers of flavors, starting with a smokiness from the light charring, thenthe sweetness from the onions and ponzu, the Wagyu beef, juicy from his expert searing and finally, the wasabi mayo that tied inthe cheese and mushroom flavors together. He said that he'll be there all summer long so we will definitely come back for more! Read more

Located right below Metropolis at Metrotown mall's Cineplex theatre (by the stairs). Only 2 tables open for dine-in, but feel... free to order take-out or delivery. My order: -Japanese Style Cheesesteak: my personal favourite - juicy sautéed mushrooms &onions, aged cheddar, wasabi mayo and of course premium ribeye steak slices. It?s saucy, and the cheese blend enhances theflavour. -Koagie (Korean Hoagie): Kimchi was good (not too sour or spicy), so I could comfortably eat it. -New Yorker: theclassic if you don't want to venture away from a "normal Philly cheesesteak" - topped with fresh tomatoes and lettuce Overall,the hoagie roll was soft on the inside, and a good chewy texture on the outside. I reheated mines in the microwave, and it stilltasted good several hours later. These cheeseteaks are more saucy than the traditional cheesesteaks, which I personally enjoyedas every bite was filled with flavour. Very filling - best to share if you want to try different flavours. I also really likedtheir assortment of cheeses (no fake Cheez-Whiz stuff, sorry if you like that though), I think they use aged cheddar, provolone,and some others in a cheese blend. They definitely don't cheap out, and use a generous portion of tender/sliced prime rib steak.All cheesesteaks are made-to-order on a grill when you place your order. -Onion Rings: skinny-style -Deep Fried Pickles: goodthick cut of pickles to breading ratio -ACC Fries (Garlic Butter & Parmesan): classic thick cut fries with a very "potato-y"flavour -White Chocolate Blueberry Milkshake: quite sweet, definitely for people that have a sweet tooth Also, I definitelyhave to mention the house-made sauces, they're so good for dipping the onion rings, pickles, and fries (cheesesteaks were saucyenough, so I didn't need it there). My personal favourites were the roasted garlic aioli, smoke Chipotle BBQ (not tooverpowering or salty), and mustard (real mustard seeds). Read more
