1. Sweet Basil Restaurant
Of all the Thai restaurants I've tried in Vancouver (and specifically North Vancouver), Sweet Basil is definitely top of the list.
I can't recall what region or style of Thai they cook but it's one that definitely suits my tastebuds. The curries are…More »
2. Kokoro Japanese Restaurant
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2J1
(604) 988-3513
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
Could it be? Have I found my new favourite North Van sushi restaurant?
I've only been one time, but was incredibly impressed. First impression is that the restaurant is clean and simple, and the staff friendly. The menu is pretty standard (price and…More »
3. Pho Japolo
This is one of only a few Vietnamese restaurants I know of on the North Shore, and of the ones I've tried, the most generically pleasing. I go for vermicelli bowls rather than Pho when I get a Vietnamese craving and what they serve is quite tasty.…More »
4. Vina Vietnamese Gourmet
Ah, Vina's. Definitely one of my top three lunch rotation spots. In fact, I ate here just yesterday!
Going early is advisable (I tend to show up around 11:30) cause the noon time line is just way too long, though the friendly ladies who work here have…More »
5. Great Han Mongolian BBQ
Vancouver, BC V5T
(604) 873-8178
Some friends and I were headed to a sushi place on Main when we happened to spot the sign for this as we were driving by. Put on the brakes! Mongolian BBQ FTW!
It was exactly as we expected it would be when we walked in - definitely a hole in the wall…More »
6. Gen Sushi
North Vancouver, BC V7M 2K3
(604) 988-1637
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Central Lonsdale
We first heard about Gen Sushi from our (most excellent) server at ZEN Sushi in West Vancouver when we asked her where she would recommend for a more reasonably priced raw fish night out.
We've since been back several times and have yet to be…More »
7. Zen Japanese Restaurant
West Vancouver, BC V7V 1K4
(604) 925-0667
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Ambleside
Zen is our go-to place when we both want sushi and are feeling extra fancy (ie, willing to spend WAY more than we normally would on sushi, especially on the north shore).
I really and truly love it here. Yes, the food is expensive, but it's also…More »
8. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
The Eatery is officially Good Times.
If you're looking for traditional sushi, then this isn't the place for you, but if you want to try something new and different and fun then come on over!
And please, you had me at Astroboy.
At dinnertime and later…More »
9. Sushiya
Vancouver, BC V6C 2T6
(604) 687-7651
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
This is my go-to place for lunch sushi during the week since it's only a block away from my office and a cheaper/quicker option than Urban Sushi. At first I was hesitant to even try since it's both a Great Canadian Bagel and a sushi joint, but…More »
10. Westview Oriental Restaurant
Came here for Saturday dim sum and it was quite good. Like Peter said, the prices aren't as good as you can find in Vancouver but it's also a hell of a lot easier to get a seat and find parking. Plus, you're on the North Shore! Bonus points right…More »
11. Coffee Bun Bakery & Cafe
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K2
(604) 988-7900
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Not only does this bakery make the seabus terminal smell delicious, it lives up to the expectation.
This is a cute little place that feels like a calm oasis in what can be a really hectic area. I've been a couple times and plan to go back more just to…More »

Indian Food Gives Me a Happy (4)Ah, curry, food of the gods (especially butter chicken... mmm!) |
North Shore = Best Shore (17)I've lived in North Vancouver since I moved to the left coast in 2007 and I've definitely got some tried and true favourites. If you're on my fair shore, give these a go! Also, this list is far from complete - will update it as I review more! |
Do Stuff! (15)Not only do I eat... a lot... I do stuff too! Yay stuff! |
The Most Important Meal of the Weekend (7)Brunching it up all over town! |
A Cold Pint (12)I like to drink beer. These places are good for drinking beer. Hooray for beer! |
Sooooooshi! (6)Moving to Vancouver was one of the best decisions I ever made, if only because it introduced me to the wonders of awesome sushi! |
