I know...what's really an ethnic restaurant, espeically since sushi, Vietnamese etc are so popular and ubiquitous. Essentially, I excluded places where you can get steak/potatoes, pastas and pizzas.

YUM! What a gem of a place! I have been dying to try this place for a long time now. I'm glad I finally did and that it lived up to my hyped up expectations.

It's a small family run restaurant - super friendly! Nothing fancy, just good food! You order…More »

So to clear up some info here....the original "Lao Thai" which started on Selkirk Avenue and then moved to the St. Anne's location for the last few years has now moved back to Selkirk Avenue (confused yet?). LOL. So the one on 763 Selkirk Avenue is…More »

This Ethiopian restaurant is notorious for the long wait time. I've been warned by soooo many people that I have avoided this place for some time. But I am so glad I tried this place - the food is super yum!

Now timing wise, I was distracted as I was…More »

A great Indian restaurant that serves delicious food. They also own the Samosa Hut in City Place. They have a lunch that's around $10 and dinner buffet that's around $14 although it has a much smaller selection compared to the larger Indian…More »

I've been on a bifana spree this week...next stop Ninho De Portugal on Sherbrook. This is indeed a hidden gem as I almost missed this place when I was on the hunt for some Portuguese grocery items a while ago. It's on a quiet and maybe not so great…More »

Who knew this small River Heights sushi restaurant in a strip mall behind Domo would be so good? It's a small sit down restaurant that's simply decorated.

Tried to order some toro and salmon sashimi on a Friday night just before they closed but they…More »

Went back for dim sum and the meal was pretty good. They have dim sum all day and they are made to order. There's a menu with pictures and all items are written in English and Chinese though there are no prices (see list below for dim sum dishes).…More »

Another one of my fav Vietnamese spots! I love the pho here! The "pho tai" (#27 on the menu) is rare beef that's cooked in the hot soup filled with thin rice noodles.

I love the "Banh Hoi Thit Heo Nuong" (#13) which is charbroiled pork served with…More »

Cute little sushi house on Sherbrook; it has a few tables outside on the porch and 2 levels of dining inside. Although the second floor feels more like a place to hangout as there was a pool table in the middle of the room. The restaurant's decor…More »

Definitely a hidden Argentinean gem in old St. Vital area. I don't think I've ever seen this place whenever I drove down St. Mary's Road. It's sort of hidden behind the Perths. I didn't realize that Argentinean food is influenced a lot by Italian…More »

I love the pho here - it's very fragrant and definitely has a hint more star anise in its broth compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. It is one of my favourite places for pho (along with Phuong Nam).

Another reason I love this place is the iced…More »

A great place for Indian Food in Winnipeg in a beautifully decorated setting. I love the smell of all the aromatic spices that draw me in when I am within 10 feet of the front door. It's always a gluttonous feast here.

There's a daily lunch and dinner…More »

There's not a lot of Portuguese restaurants in Winnipeg but O Tacho does a great job representing the Portuguese community!

It's a small family restaurant and seats around 30 people or so. It's a great atmosphere as the staff greets you warmly and…More »

This place has plenty of dishes to choose from. The wall is plastered with pictures and a number beside it to help you order. The restaurant itself is not very bright inside, there's a few tables inside but it was full at lunch time. Take out works…More »
