Wow, my mouth is still watering from the burger I just ate tonight for dinner.  To start we ordered the pickle appetizer which were tangy and spicy.  Perfect way to whet the appetite and prepare for our burgers.  I ordered the magic mushroom burger…More »

I keep coming back for more and more. So delicious! I love the Mac n Cheese. The best part is the little bit of bread crumb that they sprinkle on top before baking.

The burger is decent. Nothing special, but serves its purpose. I got their burger and…More »

I was not expecting much when I walked through the doors of Pizza King.  Whats to expect given the shady looking building, next to an army surplus store?

We ordered the pizza and pasta deal.  $16 for a small pizza with 3 toppings, a pasta of our…More »

Yum yum yum! Nuba did not disappoint.  I was excited to see that this location had the same menu as the one downtown.  I was a bit confused as to the order process - do you order at the counter or is there table service?  There wasn't a sign…More »

Sushi Garden is great value for your money.  Rolls are cheap, but still have lots of flavour.  If you're going around a meal time, be prepared to wait for a table.  They're pretty fast about turning tables, but the wait could still be awhile.…More »

Ordered the crunch roll, and the fuji roll off of the chef's recommendation.  The crunch roll is primarily a californa roll (I think) with mango and coconut on top.  Sweet and crunch - very unique and its a pretty good pairing.  The Fuji roll is a…More »

This place is packed usually.  The first time we came around 7:30 and the wait was probably 30 to 45 minutes.  We decided to come back another day right when they opened for dinner.

We ordered their salmon sashimi, spicy tuna roll, chopped scallop…More »

Another one of those unassuming places where the food is amazing good or horrifically bad.  Mali Thai was one of the former, but if you looked at the restaurant, you wouldn't think it.  It was decorated modestly and the tables and chairs were stark…More »

Delicious, huge variety and very affordable.  For 6 of us the total bill came to $47.  If you order before 11, they'll give you 20% off on the weekends (non holiday I believe) and on weekdays its 25% (according to their menu).  We got there around…More »

The Bubble Hut is hidden in the corner of a line of shops along Broadway across from Kingsgate Mall.  Most of the time when I pass by, it looks empty, but I've been waiting to try it out for some time and boy am I sure glad I did.  

I walked in, not…More »

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet.  I LOVE Hime sushi.  So flavourful, so fresh, so delicious (I couldn't come up with another word that started with F).  They're sort of hidden between a Starbucks and the Rhizome Cafe and…More »
