1. Furusato Japanese Restaurant
Furusato is one of Edmonton's best-kept secrets. It is by far the best Japanese food you can get in this city. And I know good sushi -- I lived in Vancouver for a few years.
The sashimi is always fresh, so you don't get that just-out-of-the-freezer…More »
2. Vi's For Pies
Vi's for Pies is my new favorite eating joint, and no, I don't say that about every place I like! I went there for lunch recently with a friend, and couldn't decide on the pie or the lunch menu. We decided to split the shrimp roll and salad from the…More »
3. Numchok Wilai
A quaint little Thai restaurant that probably, I'm guessing, doesn't get much attention due to location. And boy, is that unfortunate, because this place is great!
Our food came out in a matter of no time, one of the quickest wait-times I've seen…More »
4. Viphalay
My friend and I both tried this place for the first time on Friday and loved it. It's a quaint little Thai and Laos restaurant just off of Little Italy and Chinatown. Don't be fooled by the seedy area outside -- the interior is rich and cozy. It's…More »
5. Urban China
Best dim sum in town! This is now our go-to dim sum place -- it's delicious and in a central location. But holy man does it get packed if you don't show up at the right time! Expect to wait anywhere from half an hour or a full hour on weekend…More »
6. Golden Rice Bowl
Seriously, this is authentic, high-quality Chinese food, not some kinda weak fusion version of Chinese food. If you want the real stuff, it's Golden Rice Bowl (aka GRB), baby.
I thought it was pretty good the first time, and since my recent visits…More »

We recently had dinner for the first time at the Golden Rice Bowl with my family and friends, and it… Read more »
7. La Pagode
I think this is one of the newer Vietnamese restaurants in town, as I haven't seen it here before. La Pagode is apparently owned by the same people of Pagolac in Chinatown. So, if you're in the west end and craving some pho, La Pagode is my…More »
8. Phobulous
Friday night rolls around, and I find myself craving something different, yet familiar. My honey suddenly suggests a new Vietnamese restaurant close by. I had passed by Phobulous many times and always meant to try it, but somehow never got around to…More »
9. Boualouang Laos & Thai Cuisine
My friend suggested going to Boualong last night, as she raves this is the best Thai restaurant in town, and the only one she goes to. And my friend knows her food! We got there around 7pm, and all six tables were taken already. There was a waiting…More »
10. Dadeo
My friend introduced me to this place, and I loved it! It's a 50's style Cajun/New Orleans diner, with lots of chrome and vinyl furnishings. The service is great, very friendly ppl ... our waiter started talking to us about music, for some reason.…More »
11. Kabuki Sushi and Grill
Kabuki has become our new go-to place for sushi. I love the cozy atmosphere, the service, and that fact that it's just a little closer to home. Furusato is still probably the best in town, but if I'm lazy and just want a quick sushi fix, it's Kabuki.…More »
