Another screen at The Amazing Brentwood’s TABLES food court spent its last day flashing a goodbye where a menu used to be.
O’Kitchen, the Hong Kong-style cha chan teng tucked into the Burnaby food hall, served its last customers on May 29.
The news reached us through a Noms Mag community member, who spotted the farewell running across the stall’s row of TV menu screens.
“Today is the last day of operations for O’Kitchen,” the notice read. “Our lease is coming to an end.”
The same message ran in both English and Chinese, the only thing left scrolling where the menu boards used to be.
For anyone who never made it over, O’Kitchen ran the classic cha chan teng playbook.
It opened back in Fall 2024, taking over the previous Chef Hung stall.
That cha chan teng format mixed Cantonese comfort food with Western diner staples on one long menu.
The board ran from baked pork chop rice and baked pasta to beef brisket and beef tongue plates, sandwiches, bubble tea, and smoothies.
The spot had decent reviews, hitting an average of 4.2 stars on Google.
There was a small silver lining tucked into the goodbye, though.
The same team apparently also runs Bonafide BBQ, the stall right next door, and the notice steered regulars that way.
“Going forward, we hope to see all of you next door at our BBQ stall,” it read.
So the operators are not walking away from the food court entirely.
TABLES opened as the marquee food hall inside the redeveloped Amazing Brentwood, the high-rise mall complex wired straight into the Brentwood SkyTrain station.
The timing stings because that food court has been thinning out fast.
It just lost Soon Coffee, the Monogram-owned cafe that poured its last cup only 2 days after O’Kitchen went dark.
Saboten, the Japanese tonkatsu chain, also closed its Brentwood stall earlier this spring after roughly five years.
That is on top of My Toan, Good Taco, and ThaiGo, which all slipped away over the course of 2025.
But newcomer Melt Dish has quietly opened, and A&W is slated to move in.
O’Kitchen joins a growing list of recently closed Burnaby food spots, including Roadside Spicy Pot, Lattea at Crystal Mall, and Bella Gelateria at Brentwood.
