1. Donald's Market
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V5
(604) 254-3014
Category:
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
OMG, THEY HAVE STROOPWAFLES HERE!!! I have never seen these outside The Netherlands, and lo and behold, there they are sitting on the shelf at my beloved neighbourhood grocery store.
I've said it once and I'll say it again - this place has…More »

I'm at Donald's Market every Saturday morning to stock up on fresh fruits and veggies for the week… Read more »
2. Rio Friendly Meats
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Y8
(604) 253-0345
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
When you put the word "friendly" right in your name so that everyone can see it, you better be friendly...or else the Yelpers will call you out.
I can attest that every single staff member here is as friendly as can be, and not only that, their meat…More »
3. Bosa Foods
Vancouver, BC V5L 4E2
(604) 253-5578
I'm a lucky girl - I live so close to Bosa that it's my regular convenience store.
Run out of eggs? Bosa.
Run out of bread? Bosa.
Run out of espresso? Bosa.
But as you may suspect, a quick trip to Bosa on a Saturday morning in my sweatpants for a…More »
4. A & W Restaurants
Vancouver, BC V5L 1T9
(604) 255-5942
Category:
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Is it weird that I'm giving A&W 5 stars? It might be, but I'm OK with that.
With burgers being so "in vogue" these days, I feel like we're losing touch with what the essence of a great burger should be: a nice soft bun, fresh toppings, classic sauces…More »
5. Campagnolo Roma
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V2
(604) 569-0456
I have no choice but to upgrade my review to 5 stars after coming here again and not getting sick from inadvertent dairy poisoning - the food is just too good.
We came for the $15 pizza and beer special (every day between 5-6pm and 9:30 - 10pm), and…More »

This was a pretty perfect meal, I gotta say - with the exception of one glaring issue...will get to… Read more »
6. The Gourmet Warehouse
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S3
(604) 253-3022
Category:
Specialty Food
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
Just got back from a trip to Gourmet Warehouse - I love this place. Every time I go, I end up spending twice as much as I had planned to; not because it's expensive, but I turn into a kid in a candy store and suddenly start grabbing random tools and…More »
7. Pelican Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5L 1T3
(604) 251-3395
This is our go-to for dim sum - the food is fresh and well-prepared, the staff are friendly and very professional and the place is always packed to the gills (a good sign).
Our typical order is standard dim sum fare - har gow, siu-mai, steamed bbq…More »
8. Sushi Nanaimo
Vancouver, BC V5L 4R7

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, Hastings-Sunrise
This is a really charming little sushi joint in a neighbourhood that was in need of some solid cheap sushi. I LOVE the Japanese-style hospitality here - be prepared that they will cheerfully shout at you when you walk in the door, again when you…More »
9. Le Do Vietnamese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V4
(604) 253-3508
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
This is my Sunday morning hangover cure. The pho broth is delicate but well balanced, the papaya salad with prawns is refreshing, the bahn mi have lovely fillings tucked inside super fresh bread and the spring rolls are insanely addictive. After…More »
10. Seri Malaysia Restaurant - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V6
(604) 677-7555
Category:
Malaysian
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
This place puts Banana Leaf to SHAME! No gimmicks, just great food.
I've been meaning to try this place forever, but only finally got around to it last night. Thanks to Yelp, I found out it doesn't serve booze so we decided to order for take-out (call…More »
11. Church's Chicken
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V5
(604) 254-6346
I love Church's Chicken in a baaad way; every week when I load up on fresh veggies at Donald's next door I have to avert my eyes and remind myself of all the wonderful, healthy things I'm going to do with my loads of veggies when I get home. Most of…More »
12. Volcano Sushi & Grill
Vancouver, BC V5L
(604) 566-9918
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
I'm downgrading this place a little bit - last night's dinner was pretty disappointing. The rolls were soggy and falling apart, the sauce on the gomae had a gross texture and we waited far too long for our meal - something that has been consistently…More »

We don't eat here often, but whenever we do we always have a pretty nice meal. Fresh fish,… Read more »
13. Café Nuba At the Waldorf
Vancouver, BC V5L 1S4
(604) 253-7141
Category:
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
It's not my favourite Nuba.
The execution is inconsistent and we were once given horribly stale pita bread, but the food is still pretty good.
Eating Lebanese food in a dining area that looks like it's straight off the Mad Men set doesn't seem to…More »
14. The Red Wagon
Vancouver, BC V5L
(604) 568-4565
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
A pleasant return visit yesterday warrants a slight upgrade to 3.5 stars, though I'm keeping it rounded down to 3.
Taking the day off on Monday to finish moving, my husband and I decided to try this place out for breakfast seeing as we wouldn't have…More »

I find long line-ups more of a deterrent than an attraction when it comes to restaurants. Yes, long… Read more »
15. Dung Sing Chin Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V2
(604) 255-0698
I understand the general feeling of distrust - this restaurant has changed hands/names multiple times in the last few years.
But when weighing the options for cheap western-style Chinese food nearby, the pickin's are slim. The Pelican is awesome, but…More »
16. Bo Laksa King Bubbles & Bits
Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z3
(604) 568-4593
My weekly craving for rendang beef remains, even after the death of Seri Malaysia. In an attempt to expand our horizons we tried Bubbles and Bits, but ended up ordering many of the same dishes that we used to order at Seri.
The rendang beef was a…More »

Vancouver, BC V5K

Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
This place has the worst sushi rice ever. It's always really gummy and strange tasting and the rolls fall apart. Every few months I give this place another try, then end up regretting it when I dislike my food and don't end up finishing what I…More »
