1. Sha Lin Noodle House
I love this restaurant. Good value, great food, and clean-ish for a hole in the wall. The pan fried dumplings (crispy deliciousness) and the cutting noodles are my fav (I tend not to eat pasta b/c I think it's tasteless filler food, but here I love…More »
2. Kintaro Ramen Noodle
Love this place.
I'm all about excess when it comes to flavour, so the extra extra flavorful miso broth (get the strongest one) melts my heart. I could drink that stuff for days. The cheese ramen is hilarious-- there is SO much cheese, it's…More »

9. Hai Phong Vietnamese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V
(604) 872-3828
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Solid food, always delicious--- but the deep fried spring rolls are WAY too small compared to other places. Still, I eat here at least once a month! Always tasty!
10. Samurai Japanese Restaurant
Huge sashimi pieces for cheap-- great value!
The sushi is huge too--- but have too much rice in them, in my opinion.
Go for the Sashimi and you will not be disappointed.

Vancouver, BC V5N 3L8
(604) 708-3008
The food is great, the service rules.
I came here randomly during a little walking adventure, and boy am I glad I did!
We had the veggie Kotthu and the mutton curry, both delicious. We drank a wood apple lassi--- really cool taste. Ask them to show…More »

Came here the other day for impromptu dim sum. It was nearly empty on a Wednesday morning, save a few tables of unbelievably cute old people dining alone. This little old Chinese lady waved at us to come in, so we happily obliged. I kept wanting to…More »
13. Barefoot Kitchen - CLOSED
Ok. The service was great, the space was cute, and the set meals were fairly priced... but the meat was so greasy that I feel like a small animal crawled inside me and died. The cheese Hamburgh steak was at first pure deliciousness, but at the…More »

Sunrise Market, oh so cheap and bountiful, I could buy endless vegetables with twenny bones!
Here's my advice when it comes to shopping here:

15. Congee Noodle House
Holy sheepdip, do I ever dig the Congee Noodle House. First off, it's the place that took my cong-init-ee back in '06. Now, it's no small feat to turn a meat and potatoes smalltown girl into a lover of soggy rice soup. Somehow CNH made its way into…More »
16. Wang's Shanghai Cuisine - CLOSED
XLB as fast food? Hook that business up. I came here at about 7pm, the cafeteria was mostly dead. Awesome for me! I started my journey off at the infamous Wang's, and boy did Wang not disappoint. Now I'm not saying that the juice was the greatest XLB…More »
17. Kasuga Sushi & Grill
*Based on the takoyaki alone*
I've been to Osaka Japan, where Takoyaki is said to be the best in the world. I indulged, eating T-balls from street vendors, restos, food courts, etc., and loved them all. Since returning to Canada, it has been hard to…More »

Cozy hole in the wall on the quiet Kingsway strip. From the outside (and from how I remembered it as the Sun Fat Cafe) it was easy to assume that not much had changed. Boy was I wrong. The interior has been renovated and I can't believe it's the same…More »
