My favorite places in Vancouver
See All Lists
1. Ramen Santouka
Ramen Santouka gets my top ranking of all the ramen-ya's that I visited in Vancouver. In fact, I visited three times during my one week stay, which let's you know how much I liked it.
The main reason Santouka is tops in my book is their soup. This…More »
2. Nitobe Memorial Garden

What a beautiful, wonderful garden. I visited on a rainy day, but the loveliness of the space transcends any weather. Well worth a visit. If I were local, I'd go frequently.
3. Gyoza King

Canada
(604) 669-8278
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West End
Great place for late night snacks and drinks! A stopped in on several nights during a recent stay in Vancouver. Really liked the friendly service, the selection of shochu, and the variety of food. Everything I had was good, including the chicken…More »
4. BookOff

Bookstores
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Sugoi! This place alone makes me wish I lived in Vancouver. If you are into Japanese music at all, definitely a must visit. Some great bargains. I bought several CDs, some for only $3. Big selection of Japanese books, too (if you can read Japanese).
5. Guu
Vancouver, BC V6E 1W2
Canada
(604) 685-8817
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
You really don't need me, or anyone else, to tell you that this is a great place. Just check out the crowds on any given night. Lively, fun Japanese-style pub atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and, if not always super attentive, enthusiastic.…More »
6. Konbiniya Japan Centre
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C1
Canada
(604) 682-3634
Such a wide selection in a small space! Konbiniya is the place to go for Japanese food, snacks, and personal care products (like yuzu bath salts). Found unique products here, like green tea Kit Kats, as well as the usual Pocky and rice crackers.…More »
7. Sabai Thai Spa
Vancouver, BC V6G 3L2
Canada
(604) 568-6227
Another reason why I wished I lived in Vancouver. Such a lovely little place tucked away in Coal Harbor. Had the 90 mins. deep tissue sports massage. It was quite intense, but I felt totally renewed when I was done. Enjoyed the complimentary tea…More »
8. Hon's Wun-Tun House
Vancouver, BC V6A 1X5
Canada
(604) 688-0871
Categories:
Dim Sum,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Strathcona
With a menu this extensive, you can't expect every item to be a home run. I only was able to visit here once so my experience was obviously very limited. I had the fried tofu, which was like no other fried tofu I've ever had before. Very dry and…More »
9. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden
Vancouver, BC V6B 5K2
Canada
(604) 662-3207
Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
A lovely Chinese style garden, just a step inside of Chinatown. Makes a nice change from the bustle outside on the street. You are really transported somewhere else.
There are two parts, the free public garden and paid admittance part. I do recommend…More »
