1. Thai Flavours Restaurant
I have been searching all throughout Edmonton for the best Pad Thai.
I've found a few decent places and a few not-so-decent places, but this location is certainly the pad thai flavour I was looking for.
It is a bit pricey here; however, they do have…More »
2. Speeders Indoor Prokarts
I came here for a staff party (not mine, but the boyfriends) and I had a lot of fun.
We booked the conference room and the staff at Speeders, although looking a little stressed, was very nice.
The racetrack itself looks a easy and little small, but…More »
3. Mediterranean Grill
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 689-1112
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: West End
I wasn't really hungry on my visit here, but I ordered the dolma side dish with tzatziki dip.
The grape leaves were good. The filling was a good, but lacked spices, so the grape leaves overpowered the filling instead of complimenting. I liked the…More »
4. English Bay
English Bay is a really nice area to relax, go for a run, or just hang out. It's right beside a street lined up with tall condominiums on one side and a string of different shops/eateries on the other side.
I was fortunate enough to be here on a…More »
5. Japa Dog
Vancouver, BC V6B 2B7
(604) 809-4333
After hearing many people rave about it, I decided to head to Vancouver and make it my goal to try a Japadog. I ordered the terimayo and the boyfriend ordered the love meat.
I must say, I think I hyped it up way too much, because I was expecting…More »
6. Cafe Supreme
Edmonton, AB T5T 4M2
(780) 444-1063
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
If you're looking for fairly healthy food, especially within the mall, La Prep has a lot of different sandwich options and soups. With each sandwich/panini and/or wrap, you can get 2 salads. I've tried a lot of their sandwiches; they are very good…More »
7. Nomiya
I went here one evening with the bf, the brother and his friend. I was extremely excited to go, just because if you know me, I love any kind of noodles and apparently, this is a ramen house.
I ordered the Tsuke-men and I must say, I am a little…More »
8. Pho Japolo
Lemme set this straight: no means no!
The waitress we had was very pushy on trying to get us to order one of the specials of the day. I understand, it's better for business to always upsell, but we said no several times! Other than that though, she…More »
9. M Nails & Spa
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
That quote completely reflects my opinion of this establishment.
I went here once, just before my 18th birthday like a classy gal should, to have my nails and toes done. I chose to come here…More »
10. Toyko Express
I was actually really surprised about this location of Tokyo Express. i usually only order from this franchise if I had too, so while waiting for an appointment for an hour, I decided to have a quick bite here.
This location is really clean and…More »
11. Wild Wing
Wild Wings is an Ontario based franchise that recently (well, I think) expanded to western Canada, starting with Alberta.
Their main specialty, obviously hence the name, is their wings. 101 different flavored under the same roof. I found it really…More »
12. Coffee Bun Bakery & Cafe
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K2
(604) 988-7900
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Due to the large "Ice Cream Bun" sign right outside the shop, I found it necessary to pop in here while I was waiting for the SeaBus.
The bun was warm and freshly made. It was nice and crunchy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. It was…More »
13. Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
Being from Edmonton, Greek restaurant options are very limited. Apparently there are always people waiting in a long line just to eat here. At first, I thought it is completely insane to wait an 1-2 hours just to eat at a restaurant when there are…More »
14. Denny's Restaurant
Denny's is a hit or miss, depending on what you're looking for.
I went here very recently (this morning, teehee) and although it was very busy, our waitress was kind and patient. She did the usual: take our orders, check how everything is, and give us…More »
15. Western Pizza
This review is in regards to a take out order and is mainly based on the quality of their food, and a little on their service.
My cousin had ordered a medium pepperoni and mushroom pizza and a baked lasagna for take out one afternoon. The guy behind…More »
16. Garden Bakery
This bakery is the closest thing the west end has to the cute Asian bakeries downtown. The smell is amazing every time you pass by it.
They offer rice cakes, various buns, egg tarts, breads, cakes/pies, and my favorite... fruit tarts! They're so…More »
17. Moon Garden Restaurant
Edmonton, AB T5S 2B8
(780) 483-6688
I went here for a quick to-go order during a lunch break at driving school.
One thing that I really noticed about this place is that the prices of the vermacelli bowls and such are extremely cheap (~$7). I think that may be one of the cheapest places…More »
18. Calbi
Who knew 3 tiny tacos could make me so full?
I went to Calbi... err, Calbi went to me, when I was in LA shopping at the NikeTown.
I ordered a ton of food thinking that small pieces of tortilla and meat weren't enough to suffice my hunger. I was wrong.…More »
19. Jumbo Dim Sum Dining
I came here for dim sum the other day and found that their dim sum menu during the week is very limited compared to morning/lunch on the weekend.
Still, we decided to give it a try. We ordered sticky rice, steamed shrimp dumplings, deep-fried shrimp…More »
20. Fuss Cupcakes
This whole cupcake hype is outta control in Edmonton. Anyways, this Fuss Cupcake location is kind of hidden away in a tiny strip mall on the west end. Every time I come in here it's really quiet and chill. This is where I like to exchange gossip (how…More »
21. Daiso
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 295-6601
Categories:
Department Stores,
Dollar Store
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
I love Daiso. I really wish they had one in Edmonton. It's basically an Asian dollar (well, $2) store with a couple of other items for cheap.
I found that this location was pretty organized, considering the size of the store. I couldn't find any help…More »
22. Lonsdale Quay Market
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7
(604) 985-2191
Categories:
Shopping Centres,
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
I miss living by the Quay.
It's a nice little market pier surrounded by shops and restaurants. I tried the baked oyster at the seafood vendor by the entrance facing the bay, and it was sooo delicious and very juicy.
We had a beavertail and, within…More »
23. Enzo's Donair
Now I know Edmonton has a ton of donair shops, but I can honestly say that Enzo's Donair is one of the best (possibly the best) place.
I came here one night, just expecting the usual donair+fries combo. I noticed they had a donair poutine ($7.99),…More »
24. Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant
Las Margaritas is interesting... The atmosphere is a little noisy, so it's more of a hangout area than a date night kind of thing. As previously stated in other reviews you do get free salsa and chips which is delicious and very addicting. I love the…More »
25. Kobe Japanese Bistro
Edmonton, AB T5T 4J5
(780) 444-7878
I recently came in here to place a to-go order and ordered my favorite things here: the yakisoba and the volcano roll.
I don't know if I just got a bad roll or something, but my volcano roll was pretty gross. I know with deep fried rolls, a part of it…More »

I honestly am surprised there are not a lot of reviews on Kobe.
I haven't had it in a while ever… Read more »
26. The Wokkery Restaurant
The outside of the building and the area surroung the Wokkery looks really sketchy, but one you step in, it just seems so typical 70's-80's Canadian, but Chinese restaurant-ish. The walls are decorated up with different paintings/photographs of…More »
27. Manila Bay
Manila Bay is a nice change to the string of chain restaurants on St. Albert Trail. It's tucked beside a Beijing Beijing buffet and Chuck E. Cheese.
The menu is pretty simple, but the prices are pretty expensive (around $12-$15). I guess it was fine…More »
28. Tanpopo Fine Japanese Dining
This place is the SHII--! It was fairly cheap ($17-18?) per person for a lunch all you can eat special.
The amount of sashimi we consumed was already worth the amount we paid. The sashimi was juicy and melted in my mouth. The teriyaki chicken very…More »
29. Little Tokyo Sushi
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K2
(604) 980-3365
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
I hate writing negative reviews, but I feel like this one is much needed to warn the general public about Little Tokyo.
It's a pretty small establishment conveniently located by the sea bus.
My boyfriend and I popped in here on our vacation one…More »
30. Chez Cora
This Chez Cora's had a huge line. We had a group of 11, which is understandably going to take a little longer to seat than a group of three. But we waited for an HOUR. Really? I'm pretty sure we were there way before the group of 8 and then the group…More »
