See All Lists
1. Toshi Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5T 4R2
(604) 874-5173
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant, Riley Park
Sushi here is nothing short of AMAZING! The fish is always FRESH and the delicate little pieces of sushi just melt in your mouth. This could easily be my #1 sushi joint, except for the fact it's so busy even before they open. Service is fast and…More »
2. Foundation
When I go to Foundation I don't go for the service, I go for the NACHOS. They have the best Nachos in town! Loaded with Cheese, Jalapenos, Corn and Black Beans, served with Sour Cream and Salsa. Guac($2). I also really like the Spicy Peanut(Tofu &…More »
3. Toko Foods
Vancouver, BC V5Y 1L9
(604) 879-0701
Categories:
Chinese,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
This is definitely one of those hidden gems in Vancouver. It's a noodle factory with a restaurant attached to it. Although the exterior is quite unassuming, the food is not. Whatever asian cuisine(mostly chinese) you are craving, Toko makes there own…More »
4. Chaise Lounge Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R3
(604) 874-7114
Categories:
Lounges,
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I've been meaning to check out Chaise Lounge again since hearing it had switched ownership. It's been busy every time I've passed by, so that's still a good sign! As my partner and I passed by again we noticed the special was a Blue Cheese Burger and…More »

Could I have been too hasty to dismiss Chaise after an average brunch? I think so! The Poutine was… Read more »
5. Hawkers Delight Deli
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P6
(604) 709-8188
Categories:
Malaysian,
Singaporean
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Good ol' Singaporean and Malaysian home cooking! Hawkers serves up tasty dishes that are delicious and cheap! My favorite is the Lamb Curry($6.75) with big, juicy pieces of lamb and stewed veggies. If they are out of lamb, the Beef Curry is just as…More »
6. The Well - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 569-0570
Categories:
Italian,
Canadian (New)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Stopped in here for a light dinner on Saturday night and was surprised it wasn't too busy. The hostess/waitress was very sweet and polite as she told us the night's specials. I decided on the Cajun Halibut Burger and it was perfect! The Halibut was…More »
7. Ogenki Sushi
Ogenki has been my favorite neighbourhood sushi place for a while now. I'm definitely still a fan! The sushi is always fresh and the prices are great, but the service is not up to par! A few of the waitresses are not too friendly, even though I am a…More »

There's nothing better than having dinner in an enchanted forest, other than a spooky enchanted forest! This artwork that is Locus is amazing! With tree roots coming out of the walls and demons with their eyes lit up watching your every bite, the…More »
9. Burgoo Bistro
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G5
(604) 873-1441
Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
What better place to be on a sunny day than on the Burgoo patio! The patio is in the perfect spot where it gets the sun as late as possible. The Caesars are tasty and boozy! The Gooey Cheese Grillers are the best Grilled Cheese in town and the…More »
10. Crave Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P3

Categories:
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
What do you Crave? I was craving an Eggs Benny and Crave was close, so Crave it was for my Benny. I didn't expect such a small restaurant, but it was cozy. We got there before it was busy and got seated promptly by a very friendly hostess. I ordered…More »
11. Au Petit Cafe
Vancouver, BC V5V 3R9
(604) 873-3328
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I will officially say that the Banh Mi at Au Petite Cafe is now my favorite! For me, it is due to the Meat Ball that is used in their special sub. It just adds another flavorful dimension to the sandwich. While I still have not had a sit down meal…More »

12. Congee Noodle House
I was recently home sick and needed some comfort food, so takeout from Congee Noodle House came to mind. I've been meaning to give it a try since reading Crystal H.'s review, among other sources. I ordered the #27, Preserved Egg & Shredded Pork…More »
13. Jiro Japanese Restaurant - CLOSED
Jiro is a little hidden gem across from Kingsgate Mall. It's on the second floor, so it goes unnoticed by most. All you can eat is $11.95/lunch or $18.95/dinner. The sushi is always fresh and well prepared. The AYCE menu is not as extensive as other…More »
14. SD Galleria + Sushi Lounge
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9

Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
What happened to Simply Delicious!? Or should I say "SD Galleria" as it says on their new daily drink specials menu. It's usually pretty quiet at Simply Delicious, but on Monday night they were pumping some good House music. Drink special's(different…More »

Blink and you could miss this cute little restaurant just off of Main St. on 8th Ave. Went here for The Main Event - East Meets West and was VERY impressed! Started with the Goat Cheese Plate(Pistachio encrusted goat cheese, lobster infused olive oil…More »
16. City Temple of Shanghai - CLOSED
Since reading they have good XLB's here, I've been meaning to give this place a try. My partner and I shared an order of Shanghai Dumplings(XLB's) and had a bowl of Tan Tan Noodles with Peanut Sauce each. Everything arrived at once, so we started…More »
17. The Reef

Categories:
Caterers,
Caribbean,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I've been to The Reef a handful of times and I don't get what everyone see's about this place. Sure they have a good SMALL patio, that's only good for summer, and it's a funky, hip, neighborhood restaurant, but I never leave with that feeling that I…More »
18. Fraser Court Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 4C3
(604) 568-1288
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
This is the old Flamingo Chinese Restaurant with a small makeover and new management. Went here for dim sum and "Wow" was I surprised! The restaurant was completely packed! We were quickly seated and ready to order. The days of the old carts being…More »
19. Vera's Burger Shack
I don't tend to come here too often, but when I crave a big, greasy burger, Vera's is one of my choices. On this visit I ordered the Thursday Special called "The Big Chick", which was grilled chicken, provolone, bacon, onions and bbq sauce on a bun…More »
20. Santorini Greek Donair - CLOSED
Out with the Donairs and in with the Pizza. Santorini Greek Donair is now Parm'z Pizza Factory. Although I'll miss the Friday Lamb Dinner Special, I'm OK with picking up some Pizza on a lazy Sunday night =)

Categories:

Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
After an exhausting day of braving the crowds downtown during the Olympics, my partner and I had to seek the sanctuary of somewhere back in the 'hood and it was burgers and beer that we were craving. We ended up at The Five Point and even though we…More »
22. Bean Around the World Coffees
This place has all the makings of a really great coffee shop except for the staff! The baked goods, which are baked fresh on the premises, are phenomenal! My favourites are the Quickstart Muffin, Raspberry Cinnamon Buns, Cheese Scones, Peanut Butter…More »
23. Pho Hoang Vietnamese Restaurant
I come to Pho Hoang when I'm too lazy to cook, I'm in a rush, or on a semi-healthy kick. The Pho is good, flavorful, and served quickly. It comes piping hot, not too oily, and the portions of various meats are generous! My only big concern is the…More »
24. Zipang Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 708-1667
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I don't see what the fuss is about this place! I ordered takeout and the girl that took my order was really sweet, but not so sweet(I think it was a different girl) when I went in to pickup. I ordered a california roll, special scallop roll, and…More »

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
*I Dera you to try this restaurant*
Contrary to Alvaro N.' s review, I found Dera to be very disappointing! I drive by Dera on the way to work every morning and decided to get some takeout for a lazy Sunday dinner. I wanted to order the Lamb Biryani…More »

We stopped here out of convenience in the evening before going out for the night. I ordered the bento box with chicken teriyaki and my partner ordered the california roll. I barely finished my bento box(throwing out over half of it) and the roll was…More »
