1. Sushi Garden Japanese Restaurant
Burnaby, BC V5H 2B3
(604) 436-0104
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
We hit up the Kingsway location of Sushi Garden across the street from Metrotown. I had only been to the Burnaby North location on Lougheed.
The food was pretty solid from the raw fish to rolls and cooked dishes. My standard dish of spicy chopped…More »
2. Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine
I love, love Malaysian food. I find it is so exotic and delectable. One of may favourite places is the Kits location of Banana Leaf.
One of the advantages of a big group is getting to try as many dishes as possible. We dined out large on all the fine…More »
3. The Bibo
I was more than a little famished when I arrived on the scene. I gobbled up some appetizers readily including some exotic (to me) veggies of pickled and cold prepared variety. They were quite edible.
The cheeses and sliced meats with bread were very…More »
4. Au Petit Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R9
(604) 873-3328
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Despite everyone's raves, I had still never formally been to what's considered one of the best Vietnamese eateries in East Vancouver, Au Petit Café. I seldom eat Viet food out. That's because I get homemade ph, noodles, and cuisine at home. I'm a bit…More »
5. Pinpin Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z9
(604) 322-3086
We trekked to Pinpin on Fraser for a lovely meal. Us Filipino newbies were treated to some fine cuisine. The noodles and meat dishes all tickled our fancy.
The pan grilled, diced squid was a particular hit with us for its rich flavour and tanginess.
I…More »
6. Applause Japanese Restaurant
The office hopped down to Marpole for a quickie lunch. I was in the mood for Japanese and Applause was recommended as a cheap, tasty solution.
Their lunch deals or "value sets" are great. Udon, a California roll, and house salad are only $5.25.…More »
7. Shuraku Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 687-6622
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
After knocking back the martinis, I literally went next door to feed the beast.
I stumbled the ten steps to this sushi bar for some fine Japanese food. Along with some refreshing Sapporo, we dined on the avocado salad which was quite delicious.
The…More »
8. Dae Bak Bon Ga Korean Restaurant
The only real complaint of the night was the aloof service. The waiting staff were fine, but a little out of sorts. We ordered a set menu and they forgot to give us our side dishes of rice, kimchi, and assorted items. They seemed confused at the…More »
9. La Taqueria
Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6
(604) 568-4406
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I love Mexican food. I also love tacos. Therefore, I love, love La Tacqueria.
When I worked in Gastown a block from the Hastings shop, I went every single week and I still usually hit up the newer Cambie location with the same frequency.
I go so often…More »
10. Claypot Hot Pot & BBQ
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
(604) 231-8138
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
The food itself was delicious. The assortment of meat, veggies, and seafood was filling and served for some good, fun conversation.
We sat in the so-called "VIP" dining room which was basically the end of the restaurant with closing doors and our own…More »
11. Fatty Cow Seafood Hot Pot
Vancouver, BC V5P 3V2
(604) 568-6630
Categories:
Chinese,
Asian Fusion,
Do-It-Yourself Food
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
There was a lot of variety in the choices of meat, seafood, veggies, and noodles. The soup choices were also good. The satay and spicy soups were particularly tasty. I thought the shrimps, beef, oysters, fish balls and plethora of variety in dishes…More »
12. Tomokazu Japanese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6H 1G5
(604) 677-0426
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
After a night on the town, a bunch of us were starving and decided for some all you can eat sushi goodness. It was a great idea, but we left so very full.
The sushi and raw stuff was all great. I garbled down the spicy salmon and chopped scallop…More »
13. Golden Great Wall Szechuan Restaurant
The Golden Great Wall Szechuan Restaurant is a good, clean, friendly Chinese restaurant on the heart of the West Broadway district near Oak Street. The inside is spacious and bright with a friendly staff and good service.
Ginger beef is probably my…More »
14. Banzai Sushi House
Richmond, BC V6X 1A7
(604) 821-0355
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
This is a really inexpensive place to get sushi in Richmond. Their portions and rolls are massive. Frankly, they are too big. The rolls are so big, they fall apart when eating them. They have, by far, the most generous sashimi portions.
They have…More »
15. Ebisu On Robson
Vancouver, BC V6E 3Y4
(604) 689-8266
I like Ebisu. I find it a nice, reliable spot for sushi and Japanese eats. I use to go their constantly when I worked downtown for their lunch specials.
I always get the chicken karaage (top) and chopped scallop roll (above) which are solid. I was…More »

Ebisu is a great place for lunch. They have a variety of deals where you can sample and choose a few… Read more »
16. Peaceful Restaurant
We stopped by Peaceful, a stone's throw from Broadway-City Hall station, for some Mandarin style Chinese food. A bunch of us randomly decided to head to this Chinese eatery for some fine food.
The thick noodles (top) were quite delicious. Hand-made in…More »
17. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6B 5C6
(604) 685-8682
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
Guu is a great place for interesting Japanese food. The staff is boisterous, loud, and entertaining.
A word of warning, some dishes are very decadent like the bacon-wrapped scallop and fried brie cheese. However, there is a good variety of different…More »
18. Zipang Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 708-1667
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Zipang is a solid sushi place. Nothing blew my mind but I liked their selection of rolls and even their own concoctions.
The prices are reasonable and I left full on a less than $20 bill. Their Main Street location is on the small side but it's a…More »
19. Tropika At Aberdeen
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 233-7002
Tropika is a really good place for dinner. It can get a tad pricey but the food is really good.
Roti, the pineapple fried rice, pad thai, and seafood dishes are all a must. The staff could be more helpful when it's busy but they're fine.
The restaurant…More »
20. Tropika On Robson
Vancouver, BC V6E 1B2
(604) 737-6002
Categories:
Indonesian,
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: West End
Tropika on Robson is a great place to have lunch downtown. Their lunch specials are really good, filling and affordable.
They have a good selection for lunch. I enjoyed their chicken and rice dish which is relatively safe and tasty. All the other…More »
21. Banana Leaf On Denman
Banana Leaf is a good place to have more exotic Asian food. It's safe and easy to try stuff. It can get pricey but is generally worth it.
The roti is always good and don't forget the chicken rice. The chicken and seafood dishes are particularly good.…More »
22. Miku
Vancouver, BC V6E 2E9
(604) 568-3900
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
The food was pretty good. Miku has a unique, special brand of sushi. However, it was pretty pricey with all its fanciness. Our white waiter (not that it matters) gave us a really long speech about the restaurant's menu before telling us the many…More »
23. Terracotta Modern Chinese
Vancouver, BC V6A 1B4
(604) 569-3088
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
The Chinese food was pretty good; however, it was not really "modern" per se. They had some pretty standard dishes from sweet and sour pork to chicken chow mein. My new acquaintance, Angela Ling and I split the dry rib sliders, ginger beef, and…More »
24. Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2R6
(604) 408-4228
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Three of us popped into Salsa and Agave for a bite to eat. It did not start out well as the place was super packed and busy for such a small-sized restaurant. We waited for over half an hour to be seated. The staff were really nice and gave us each a…More »
25. Alpha Global Sushi and Bar
Vancouver, BC V6B 3E4
(604) 633-0355
After an early night out, the five of us were starving for some good eats. Eventually, we settled on Alpha in Yaletown.
Unfortunately, the small Yaletown eatery was packed late on a Friday night. The staff were friendly and told us it would be a half…More »
26. Kirin Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5Z 3X7
(604) 879-8038
Our little dining crew and outfit took to Kirin for some dim sum to celebrate the engagement of our dear friends.
It was pretty crowded and lively. The food and quality seemed fine and on par with usual Chinese food flavour. I did like the congee…More »

Richmond, BC V6X 4E4
(604) 273-8858
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
My extended family and visiting cousins decided on some good old dim sum for lunch. Shiang was pretty packed on a pre-holiday weekday.
Shiang seems like one of the classier restaurants for a tad more upscale dining experience. Everything seemed of top…More »
