My new go-to for take out.

Dining at 6 on a random weeknight, I was a little worried being the only table in the restaurant. Although, I thought for sure our food would be quickly delivered and we'd be in and out of there. Wrong on all counts.…More »

Our heroine, now Duchess of the Flying Tiger, Crystal, might now travel the world (okay -- just Canada and the US West), but that doesn't stop her from visiting The Flying Tiger TWICE in one week.

And why? With so many dining choices out there? Well,…More »

Dessert review first...the rest follows:

"dark chocolate pot de crème"...they had me at "dark chocolate" but it was the "tamarind semifreddo" that made me fall in love! Presented in a little cup, our server instructed me to break it (you'll understand…More »

I'm not usually excited when my car needs some fixing up--but when I can try out a restaurant I've been meaning to get to for over a year--little car, you can keep on squeaking!

Showed up solo during the business lunch rush (read: full house!) and was…More »

Neighbourhood: West End

Only for take-out, I do stand by my word. But for amazing Pad Thai with the freshest prawns, chewy noodles, fresh cilantro and perfectly deep fried tofu - Thai Basil earns another star (and a *pad* on the back!)

    This is a great little place for take away at lunch time. It's reasonably priced, fast and close to… Read more »

If you're on the 99 B Line heading home from UBC - make this your pit stop.

Good food, fast. There's no glamour here - but the food is pretty good for the price point.

Swimming Rama and rice usually satiates my peanut sauce craving and there's always…More »

For cheap-ish thai food in a diner-style hole in the wall, this place gets you fed relatively quickly. Granted, I'd never go out of my way to come here, but when a warm bowl of soup and a curry comes a calling, Go Go does the trick, in a way a food…More »

I have never eaten in here, but it's a fantastic go-to place to stock up on frozen entrees, perfect for meals in minutes and camping (yes you heard me correctly). Favourites include red and yellow curries.

I like that they've recently added rice to…More »

Having dined in and taken away, I have to admit it, this is our new fave take out spot on Davie (miss you old-Kam's-Place).

The pad see ew trumps most pad Thai's I've encountered, hands down. Choose between beef, pork, chicken or tofu. Tofu wins in…More »
