Rodeo burgers is the perfect lunch pickup for people who work/study at the University or hospital. The burgers are juicy and french fries phenomenal, to say the least. The reason for a 4* is not because it's the best burger in town, but because it…More »
All these years I've been falling out of love with greasy American pizzas and here we go again, with Royal Pizza. Don't get me wrong though. Royal actually has some very delicious pizzas. I like that they also have pastas (mainly in spaghetti…More »
I believe it's the only Lebanese restaurant that recently opened up on Whyte Ave. I've been here a couple of times. The restaurant is inexpensive and is great if you work close by and need to pack a lunch to go.
The space is small and really just…More »
Daawat has been my "to go" place (not to be confused with "go to") on a couple of occasions along with a couple of times when we've actually sat in. The food is decent and they do maintain a good standard. Somehow I find some of the food a little…More »
Sweet Mango is a generic Asian food restaurant that serves a huge variety of Vietnamese and Thai food. I've been here a couple of times and am yet to be disappointed. I wouldn't go out and say that their Vietnamese or their Thai food is extremely…More »
Well - simply put... it's got great food at great prices. The food is extremely fresh, from what I've experienced. I've been to several expensive sushi places and can make out very little difference between those places and Furusato.
I love the…More »
An interesting fast food "Asian" joint on Whyte that has a decent variety of stir fry's, curries, and kung POW's! Yes, the Kung Pao Chicken has a real punch to it. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. It is the definition of fast food.…More »
The sublime taste of truly fresh salmon sashimi dipped in soy sauce and wasabi is a great experience that I yearn for on a daily basis. At kyoto, I can say this once more .. the sashimi is decent. It's certainly not the best I've had .. but it's so…More »
Vietnamese subs are so delicious and Nhon Hoa is one such beacon of hope on Whyte Ave that serves up a variety of subs, along with soups and side orders.
What I like best about Nhon Hoa is the extremely local aspect of it. It's like a small little…More »
Reminds me of Whole foods in the US. It's a good place for any form of a healthy option one might be looking for. Organic fresh food is available for purchase. A small, but decent collection of cheese, fresh cream cheese, hummus and other such…More »
Buddy's is an old school family-style Chinese restaurant. Yummy food, possibly authentic - maybe not, but delicious, nonetheless. They have a huge variety of options and are very affordable with massive serving sizes.
Three of us went here the…More »
This noodle house was suggested to me by Jacqueline S. as a cheap and low-key dinner option in the Oliver neighborhood. Sure enough, I came here on a weekday evening and thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. It's a fusion-style Asian restaurant with a…More »
BAJ is a different kind of sandwich shop. They serve a variety of ethnically (not ethically) oriented sandwiches like butter chicken or szechuan chicken sub among other more tradition subs. I've been here a few times and have had mixed feelings…More »
I'm glad that this block of Whyte ave has somehow remained primarily small business driven. It's probably that last beacon of hope! Coral de Cuba recently opened and I had to opportunity to make it with a few friends, amongst which was my friend…More »
Rose Bowl certainly lives up to the hype of being a well established pizza place in town. I mean, old fashioned American pizzas here. Their New York style pizza (thin crust) is pretty remarkable as well. Generally, great crust, lots of taste in…More »
