I know I've already updated on Kintaro once, but I really have to rectify the 4-stars I've given it so far, and upgrade Kintaro to 5-stars.

Just a few last words of persuasion: If you're ever in Vancouver, and can get your pretty butt down to the…More »

"*slurp* *slurp*" were the only sounds I could hear once the food arrived. The beef noodle soup here? A must-try.

The wide selection of Northern Chinese food (oh yes, there's a difference between Northern and Southern China cuisine) takes me back to…More »

Today is the last day this restaurant will be open (at this location). The owner and his wife have sold the location to another business, and looking to move their business elsewhere with no set date yet.

Came here for the last meal: Noodles were…More »

Let's get one thing straight here: I'm a noodle fanatic.

I've tried quite a few different pho chains in the Lower Mainland, and I believe that the pho they serve as this particular Pho Hoa branch has got to be the closest thing to fresh.

Good broth,…More »

A nippy-cold, grey Vancouver's winter day calls for some tasty, hot broth with something slurpily tasty to fill an empty stomach. As Kintaro is not open on Mondays, so I took the chance to try out the "other" ramen place near the corner of Denman and…More »

Having tried this chain in Hong Kong, I decided to see if it was the same, or better over here.

Located at Parker Place, but you cannot get in from inside the mall. You actually have to go outside to find its entrance.

The ramen is very different from…More »
