Excellent Ethnic

I like ethnic cuisine almost as much as I like alliteration. Here are some of my favourite places to explore the world from my plate!

 1. Sushi Shelter 101

1250 Dominion Ave
Port Coquitlam, BC V3B 8G7
(604) 464-0086

Category: Japanese

5.0 star rating
  10/27/2010 First to Review

My favourite sushi snarfer and I were really excited when we started hearing great things about a sushi spot out in PoCo, as we both share, aside from a love of food, a love of having our expectations shattered. PoCo? you may think to yourself. Are…More »

Surrey, BC V3W 5B4

  10/11/2010

My beloved eating partner and I made the trek out to Surrey from Vancouver to satisfy a craving for Indian food that only a place like Dakshin could satisfy. The food more than made up for the harrowing bus ride there.

The restaurant was empty when we…More »

Oh man...I'm still thinking about my dinner here the next morning (in the good way, not the bad way), which is a tell-tale sign that it was an amazing meal. My curry-consuming companion and I had been itching to try Tandoori Kona after reading all…More »

I love that this place is in my 'hood, as there's nothing more comforting than a steaming bowl of pho on a miserable Vancouver day.

I haven't eaten my way through much of the menu here, but I've appreciated what I have tried. Pho is served with all…More »

 5. Sartaj Sweets and Restaurant

6665 Fraser St
Vancouver, BC V5X 3T6
(604) 324-1500

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Sunset

4.0 star rating
  Update - 11/4/2010

Budget dining at its finest. Bizzarely, though, a lack of consistency in everything but deliciousness. You could say that they're consistently inconsistent. My beloved samosa scarfer and I have indulged in our "regular order" of 6 samosas and a…More »

Om nom nom nom...nom...nummy. Oh, sorry. I was just stuffing my face full of delicious tacos.

I'm usually a burrito girl, but La Taqueria makes me a believer - the taco does not have to be a second class citizen. Delicious vegetarian options, and the…More »

5.0 star rating
  Update - 1/22/2011 ROTD 10/22/2011

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: hidden gem, people!! I feel quite fortunate to have Aree Thai in my 'hood, as the vicious Pad Thai cravings I'm prone to meet their maker here.

The chefs are brought over from Thailand, and so the food…More »

I love Motomachi. It's not a place I frequent often, as crowds and lines frighten me, but when the craving for something warm, delicious and comforting hits at say, 4:00pm on a Tuesday, Motomachi is always on my mind.

I can't compare the ramen here…More »

My favourite banh mi in Vancouver. It also helps that I live within walking distance! I love that they have a vegetarian option that is delicious and filling (seriously though, what's with the "hot peppers" here? I don't even think they register on…More »

4.0 star rating
  9/12/2010

Every time I eat here, I see at least two people walk by, stop, look over the menu posted outside, ponder for a moment, and usually move on. As I sit inside nomming on my delicious burrito, I consider it a success any time someone decides "oh, what…More »

Hi, Nuba. Can I get in on a piece of the reviewing action?

I've been to this location on a number of occasions, and have never been disappointed. The menu here has a broad appeal - vegans, vegetarians, omnivores and hardcore carnivores will all find…More »

You know you keep weird hours when you often head to a restaurant for a meal only to find that it's closed between lunch and dinner. Can there be any disappointment greater than looking forward to eating, only to being met by a closed door??…More »
