They are exploiting international students and both the owner and manager do this. They even make them work at their own ther businesses and pay them $100 for 10 hours of construction work. People like this are the reason poor international students get exploited and then are scared to say anything. Other communities help people when their country people come here but these people just exploit. They have built their empire of millions on pure exploitation. What a joke. Have reported them for tax theft.
Edit - the reply to this review is laughable. I would like them to re-assert that they have never paid employees in cash so they could work more hours than allowed (for international students) AND that what they paid out in cash wasnโt at least a few dollars less than BC minimum wage at the time.

My family kept aside the top layer for the cake for my husband and I since we did not get to taste any at the reception. I asked the staff for the same and no one knew where it went. I know that it wasn't served at my party. I called the next day to follow up, but no one called back.
The service was good until I made the final payment the day before the wedding and then it all went downhill. I feel that they did the bare minimum possible and made no effort to go above and beyond. I would not...
ย ย ย Read moreโWe recently celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday alongside a gender reveal at Aria Banquet Hall, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Sepret and Ravi, are an amazing management team. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our event was meticulously planned and executed.โ
The culinary offerings were outstanding; our guests are still raving about the delicious food. The service matched the quality of the cuisineโattentive, courteous, and efficient. As someone who places high importance on cleanliness, I was thoroughly impressed by the immaculate condition of the venue, especially the restrooms, which exceeded expectations.โ
While Aria Banquet Hall may be priced higher than some alternatives, the value it offers justifies the investment. The elegant and pristine environment, combined with top-tier service, made our celebration truly memorable. Our guests were equally impressed, and we are already looking forward to hosting future events at this remarkable venue.โ
Thank you to Aria Banquet Hall for making our special occasion...
