MYST Asian Fusion has been a Burnaby favourite for more than 12 years, best known for bold, approachable fusion plates that blend Cantonese, Japanese and Southeast Asian flavours. Walk in and you notice the open kitchen energy and the colourful menu that changes seasonally, but keeps signature dishes that regulars request by name.

The menu covers sushi rolls, small plates, and mains that share as much with home-style cooking as they do with contemporary dining. Try the Volcano Roll or the MYST Seafood Hot Pot for two, order the crispy honey garlic pork bao for a snack, or pick a bowl from the Rice and Noodle section such as the Singapore-style vermicelli. There are vegetarian and gluten-aware options clearly marked, and dinner portions are generous, with most mains running between $16 and $28. Cocktail and sake lists complement the food, and there’s a weekday lunch combo that includes a side and miso soup for under $15.

Service at MYST is friendly and fast without feeling rushed. The team includes a chef with over 15 years in Lower Mainland kitchens and servers who know the menu well, so you can ask for spice adjustments or allergy-safe suggestions. The dining room seats about 60 people, with a semi-private area for small gatherings and takeout orders ready in 10 to 15 minutes when you call ahead. The open layout and warm lighting make it an easy choice for date nights, family dinners, or casual catch-ups.

Locals choose MYST not just for the flavours, but because it feels like a reliable neighbourhood spot where the staff remember your usual. They support Burnaby events and offer catering for office lunches and small parties. Phone 604-364-6400 or visit http://www.myst6400.com/ to view the menu or place an order.
