Driving out to Kerrisdale is rare for me, but when I do, I make sure to eat at Ajisai Sushi Bar.

Sure, there are a lot of other restaurants, but where can I get the guarantee of the freshest sashimi?  I have yet to have a bad sushi experience here and…More »

The only restaurant I would line up for is Toshi.

Sometimes it's a 1/2 hour wait, sometimes it is 1 hour.  Is it worth the wait?  Hell yes!

Prices are very reasonably priced considering how fresh their food is.  Everything on their menu is delicious,…More »

Ah Guu... what can I say that hasn't been said already in the 100+ reviews?  

I've tried 95% of the menu and there was only 1 time that was disappointing - their snowcrab legs dish.  I don't see it on the menu anymore so I'm guessing other people…More »

After going to the Elite Yelp Party at Suika, I knew I wanted to come back.  Sometimes you wonder if it will be just as good on a regular night and Suika did not disappoint.

I don't recall everything that was ordered at Suika, (I'm allowed since it…More »

I was a bit weary of trying this place since it used to be a morgue!  Yea, you read right.. a morgue.  After the morgue, it was turned into a Korean restaurant and now it's a Japanese restaurant.

I was suprised at how fresh the sushi and sashimi were.…More »

Wow, how did 3 girls eat $290 worth of food and alcohol?  Maybe ordering that 2nd dish of live uni and multiple bottles of alcohol *hic, wasn't a good idea...

Nevertheless, we had a great time and a fantastic meal.  The stand out items on the menu…More »

Don't judge this place by how it looks on the outside!

I was searching through Yelp last night on what I should eat for lunch at work today and came across Zero One Sushi.  Mmm freakin' MMMMM!!

They have an online ordering system which is quick and…More »

I ate here a few months ago and I totally forgot to write a review.  I'm also rarely in Richmond, but when I am and craving izakaya, I'll eat here again.  

Last time I had the Bacon wrapped Quail Eggs (bacon + eggs.. you can't go wrong) and the beef…More »
