1. Hamburger Mary's Diner
***I'm putting this part first because I want people to read it. Regular review to follow:***
There was a chalk board on the counter and it had the daily milkshake flavours on it. The first one on the list was PB&J. Am I the last person to hear…More »
2. Speakeasy Bar & Grill
This is the best sports bar in downtown Vancouver. Why? Because:
- it's ALWAYS empty. Seriously, how do they stay in business? In any case their pain is your gain, because come here with a group of friends and you basically own the place -- get…More »
3. Melriches Coffeehouse
This is a very decent neighbourhood coffee shop. They have heavy wooden tables and chairs, not the wobbly IKEA furniture you find in most places. My 16oz hot chocolate cost $3.30 incl tax, and it was excellent (the same thing at Caffe Artigiano…More »
4. Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna
There are a million reviews here, so I'll start with what I ate:
I had the bakaliaros, which is lightly battered fried cod. It's supposed to be salty (I was warned about this) but I found it delicious. It was served with the usual mountain of…More »
5. Samurai Japanese Restaurant
Big portions, not big prices -- this is a winning combination. There was a lineup and we had to wait about 15 minutes to sit on a Sunday evening. I thought the sushi was good but not out-of-this-world, but I'll admit that I should probably go back…More »
6. Calli Restaurante Mexicano
Walked past Calli today (Jan 5, 2012) and noticed they were closed down. Unless they are renovating? They were definitely not open for business.

Why is it that Mexican food is so plentiful and affordable and delicious in the US but practically… Read more »
7. Numero Uno Pizza

Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Always fresh pizza, always plenty of variety. And still $2 (the Megabite on Davie is charging $2.25 now! And I thought we were in a period of low inflation...). They just renovated, so there's even more room inside the shop -- I imagine there will…More »
8. JJ Bean Coffee Roasters

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Good coffee shop. Not as intimidating as the one on Commercial. Lots of seating, which I appreciate and which you can't get as easily at, say, a Starbucks. $3.50 for a decent-tasting medium hot chocolate, incl tax.
Downside: they automatically gave…More »

Neighbourhood: West End
I want to preface this review with a disclaimer: I'm from Montreal, where Lebanese food grows on trees, and I may have been bottle-fed on shawarma. Consequently, my standards for middle-eastern meat-filled pita food are probably higher than most…More »
10. Jako Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6B 2G5
(604) 687-0510
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Now THIS is what I'm talking about. A creative menu, quality sushi, and reasonable prices. Between the three of us, we had a a spicy tuna sashimi plate, three kinds of salmon maki, a "Jako roll" (I don't know what was in it besides imitation crab,…More »
