1. Motomachi Shokudo
My stars still stand, my love still stills my beating heart, I will still slay dragons, walk through fire (or the line up at Kintaro) for one of your free-range soft poached eggs, some bamboo shoots and your perfectly cooked noodles... even if you…More »

2. Pho English - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1R2
(604) 568-6699
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Eerily quiet with no one else in sight at 7 pm on a weeknight, I couldn't help but wonder what time people eat their pho. But judging by the lunchtime specials and their banh mi, I'm thinking that they capture a solid lunch crowd. And they should!

3. Ramen Santouka
I had a lengthy hiatus from Santouka, for no other reason than my Motomachi loyalty (which still sticks btw). But over the past few weeks a series of events brought me to Santouka's door: once for lunch and another for dinner - and still impressed!

Dang, I thought I was definitely getting FTR on this one. (Way to go Jay L for beating me!)

4. Thai Son Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5T 1W6

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
**Quick tip** This place is Cashola only!
I was first brought to this restaurant by a Vietnamese couple (star 1) who came all the way from Abbotsford (star 2) to have Pho here. The restaurant was crowded (star 3).
I'm a simple pho lover. Pho tai and a…More »
5. Pho Linh Vietnamese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5T 1W5
(604) 875-6443
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Close your eyes or sit facing the TV. Don't look at the kitchen. Contemplate the sweatpants and uggs combo your server might be wearing. Realize the motherly figure is actually just talking to someone on the phone through her hands free set. Steer…More »
6. Congee Noodle House
There are so many ways to say goodbye: farewell, arrivederci, adios, ciao... but a good ol fashioned "see you never again" sufficed as I stormed out of Congee Noodle House's door for the last time.
Feeling ripped off (more than once) never leaves a…More »

7. Sha Lin Noodle House
I'll make this chop chop, unlike the service we got tonight.
-Cutting noodles, cucumber and pork - meh, the noodles were a bit underdone and while I love cucumber, this dish just didn't do it for me.
-Dumplings with pork and bok choy - alright

Categories:
Fast Food,
Poutineries
Neighbourhood: West End
Here's hoping that the new owners got a good deal when they took over what was once Shanghai 1949. I never ate at it's predecessor, which sat always suspiciously empty and dark. A coat of yellow paint, some Quebec license plates, and voilà, we've got…More »
9. Joe's Grill
Vancouver, BC V6E 1M5

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West End
When a pregnant friend texts you on a Saturday morning and says she's craving a tomato and avocado eggs benny from Joe's Grill --you go with her!
Knowing it would be busy inside on a weekend, we bundled up and prepared to sit on the patio. Which is…More »
10. Saigon Venture Restaurant
First off, I'm a little upset but I'm still going with 3 stars.
I was walking (blasted! I wish I had an iPhone so I could have checked the Yelp reviews) before going in. What I really, really wanted was a Vietnamese Sub. Subs are listed on their…More »
11. Deacon's Corner
Vancouver, BC V6A

Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
I will only go to Deacon's Corner when James is working! He made a sandwich suggestion that's not on the menu and is so delish! Ready for it?
A BLT with fried egg, cheese and avocado... oh my, oh my! I ate all of it without any hesitation!

12. Foundation
Okay, so I might have sounded excited today when I posted that I was going to Foundation for dinner, but truth be told, I was skeptical. The last 2 meals I had here were ultimate failures.
-The first time, I realized that the service sucked and no…More »
13. Goldies Pizza & Beer Lounge
The 'za window looked awesome, and perfecto for an" oh-oh my parking has expired" or "it's 3 o'clock and they're gonna tow my ride" kinda fix, but I had a hankering for a pint and lots of time to kill. Plus, I'm pretty certain they wouldn't let me…More »
14. Hai Phong Vietnamese Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V
(604) 872-3828
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The goods:
Solid broth with loads of flavour. A pile of bean sprouts and two full sprigs of basil. Plus 2 lime wedges and a chili. These pho-ers know their stuff! Ordered the rare beef and enjoyed watching the broth work it's magic in cooking. Just…More »
15. Pho No 1 Vietnamese Restaurant
If you're driving, you'll probably miss it - much like all of the small establishments along Denman. It's small - with approximately 30 seats. At 5ish on a Friday afternoon/evening, there was no one.
The menu is full of pictures and there's a menu on…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I can't believe 2 of us just ate like kings for $12. I don't think I've had this good and cheap of a meal since traveling in Asia.
The selection was plenty: mee and nasi gorengs, laksas, veggie fritters, tofu puffs and so many other varieties, I had…More »

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I was awoken when a friend threw stones at my window at an early morning hour to go for breakfast (okay, it was a phone call, and lots of people are up at 9 on a Sunday...I'm just not one of them) We wanted a no-line-up spot so enter Juliet's Cafe,…More »
