1. Red Tuna Sushi & Noodle Café
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z6
Canada
(604) 261-8112
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I'm not going to make any extravagant claims like "this is the best sushi joint in town" because that's a really subjective call that I'm not very good at making. I can say with a fairly high degree of certainty that the chef at Red Tuna makes the…More »
2. Hudson's Landing Pub
Vancouver, BC V6P 6L6
Canada
(604) 263-5445
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Marpole
The management has made a noticeable attempt to improve things here in the past few months. It started with the addition of a weekly steak special (to go with wing Wednesdays and pizza Sundays), but after trying it I don't think I'll do it again…More »

The neighbourhood pub for all of Marpole, it seems. Given the lack of options it fits the bill well.… Read more »
3. Mr Pickwick's Fish & Chips
Vancouver, BC V6P 5A1
Canada
(604) 266-2340
Categories:
Seafood,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Every time I walk by Pickwick's, on either side of Granville, I suddenly have the craving to grab some greasy, fried fish and some vinegar and dig in. Any fish and chips that can reel me in from across the street is worth checking out. This hole in…More »
4. Yami Sushi
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z5
Canada
(604) 269-9836
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Yami has been around for some time, but within the past few months it has come under new management. I never tried it under the old owners, so I thought now would be the time to give it a shot. I walked in from the cold for an early dinner to a…More »
5. Johnnys Pizza Factory
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z2
Canada
(604) 261-7733
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Johnny's (not to be confused with all the other pizza joints in this city named after this guy or any of the other pizza factories) has always been a bit of an enigma to me. First, the advertised hours, 4 to 4 (that's pm to am), are the strangest…More »
6. The Connection Games & Comics 1
Vancouver, BC V6P 3J5
Canada
(604) 261-4588
Categories:
Hobby Shops,
Comic Books
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I finally wandered into the local game shop I had spotted when first moving to the neighbourhood. I was quite impressed with what they've done given their space constraints. The narrow retail space is packed with board games, cards, a few comics,…More »
7. Arthur Laing Bridge
Richmond, BC V7B
Canada
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: YVR
This is bridge full of character thanks to its location overlooking my low-rise 'hood in Marpole. It's one of only three entrances into Vancouver from the south (five if you count the CPR Marpole Bridge and Canada Line North Arm Bridge) and probably…More »
8. Chicas Latin Heritage Foods
Vancouver, BC V6P 5A5
Canada
(604) 568-6778
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Marpole
A place in Vancouver that does taco Tuesdays? It's about god damn time. This mom-and-pop restaurant and grocery fits the bill for simple, cheap Mexican and traditional Southwest states type food. It looks like they're mostly set up for take out and…More »
9. Talay Thai Restaurant
I've been meaning to try this place ever since they opened a few months ago, but thanks to my weird eating schedule, the fact that they close between lunch and dinner (on weekdays), plus a roommate who never wants Thai all conspired to keep me away.…More »
10. Two Brothers Restaurant & Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z7
Canada
(604) 264-7663
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Marpole
There's nothing like cheap, westernized Chinese food to break up the monotony of a 12 hour study session. That's exactly what Two Brothers provided me last week. With fatigue setting in, a mostly empty kitchen, no will to cook, and a rumbling tummy,…More »
11. Grand Marpole Market
Definitely my favourite of the two produce stores on this block. You can tell they're doing a brisk business because it's always full to the brim with fresh veg. Great prices on BC apples pretty much all season (especially when spartans are in).…More »
12. Uppercrust Bakery & Delicatessen
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z9
Canada
(604) 266-9250
Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I needed a quick bite yesterday in the early afternoon and didn't want to deal with the usual fast food on the strip. So I wandered up a bit further and managed to duck in here right before they closed. I had a turkey and bacon sandwich on a fresh…More »
13. Action Lock & Security
Vancouver, BC V6P 4N2
Canada
(604) 325-7996
Category:
Keys & Locksmiths
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I finally got a coveted storage locker in my apartment building, so I needed to replace the padlock. Not wanting to hike the 15 minutes to Canadian Tire in this miserable weather I stopped by this oddly shaped storefront instead.
Past all the safes…More »
14. Pizza Factory
Not to be confused with Johnny's Pizza Factory a few blocks over on Granville or any of the innumerable other Pizza Factories in town. I've only ever had them deliver and the service has always been quick and efficient. I've always been satisfied…More »
15. White Spot
Vancouver, BC V6P 6L6
Canada
(604) 263-6667
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Much better this time around. I popped in for a late lunch yesterday; it was slow and I got seated at the bar pretty quickly. Service was attentive, though a bit brisk. Triple-O sauce with tomato on a burger always does it for me, though.
Doubly good…More »

Not up to White Spot standards on this particular evening. The food was fine. It's hard to go wrong… Read more »
16. Sushi King House
Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z4
Canada
(604) 269-3555
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Pretty good hole in the wall in a massive strip of hole in the wall sushi joints. Is there some kind of zoning law in effect that ensures maximum sushi density on this 7 blocks of Granville? Anyways, like other reviewers mention, size matters at…More »
17. Komi Sushi - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6P 5A1
Canada
(604) 261-6382
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Average sushi. I get the impression that their specialty is some other japanese cuisines, such as their noodles and teriyaki. Not having tried that, though, it's merely ok. The California roll was good, but the tuna and spider rolls were pretty…More »
18. Denny's
Vancouver, BC V6P 5Y1
Canada
(604) 325-3712
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Marpole
There's no such thing as a free lunch, but thanks to Denny's there is a free breakfast. They were packing them in this morning to partake of the complimentary grand slams. The kitchen was cranking them out a half dozen at a time. There was a lineup…More »
19. Risty's Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6P
Canada
(604) 266-0633
Categories:
Diners,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Marpole
I admit that I'm new to the Risty's experience. I never stopped in when it was under the old management (I was new to the neighbourhood) and since then I've been very hesitant; a greasy-spoon diner that also serves sushi? That just doesn't jive right…More »
20. Fresh Slice Pizza
What is there to say about Fresh Slice that hasn't already been said? If you've spent more than a few minutes outside in Vancouver chances are high that you've walked past one of their locations. They claim to be the originator of the "Vancouver…More »
