You don't expect to order first, sit at a long communal table second and get a free miso soup third, but that's exactly what you get. (it may not be proper English I'm using, but I speaketh the truth!)

Modern, clean and bright with Wild Salmon being…More »

A fond HELLO to a dear new friend:

I could sit for hours and drink your draft
Inside at a communal table or outside on your large patio

Being able to park (and possibly leave my car all night long)
Go for a pre-drink before a night of entertainment at BC…More »

Ole! I say! An authentic Mexican restaurant on Robson Street? No way! With big screen TVs broadcasting Fox World Sports (looked like soccer to me) and tune-age reminiscent of a tequila sunrise, I knew I was in for a treat.

If your name is Guacamole,…More »

With every place serving booze within walking distance to GM and BC Place packed in like sardines and my belly howling, a safe bet was ramen.

Definitely delivered on filling me up (with some perfectly chewy noodles) so I could belt out some U2 tunes…More »

4/3/2009 First to Review

Cold, rainy, and windy. Basically summing up a March day. So what better way to spend lunch, than to test out another Ramen shop lurking quietly just West of Jervis?

I ordered a noodle soup with wonton. The broth was a little bit saltier than what I…More »

If anyone else out there has an eye wear fetish - please YELP out! When a friend or family member needs a new pair of specs, I'm the first to lend an eye.

I bought my last pair of spectacles here and absolutely love the sheer volume of frames they…More »

How lunch time sneaks up on me, I don't know. But I found myself ravished and craving some sushi time. I rocked up to the (sushi) bar and quickly ordered a bento box.

I was pleasantly surprised with the toro for sure! It did melt in my mouth (said…More »

After reading Bill T's FTR, I all of a sudden had a craving for a bahn mi! My review in rewind:

I savored the last bite.
I loved the sauce, the crunchy veggies, lots of cilantro and tasty chicken.
Willing to chance it I gobbled down the entire…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown

2/9/2010

The space is really tight, not exactly somewhere I would make a destination, and I didn't really get the feeling of a French cafe, but with the dueling Starbucks my only other proximal choice this is a decent pit stop.

A hop and barely a skip away…More »

Category: Japanese

Neighbourhood: West End

Update - 12/16/2010

I had a lengthy hiatus from Santouka, for no other reason than my Motomachi loyalty (which still sticks btw). But over the past few weeks a series of events brought me to Santouka's door: once for lunch and another for dinner - and still impressed!
