When it comes to ramen, I'm gonna be a snob. And I'm gonna bitch and moan if it isn't done right. With Vancouver's plethora of 'japanese' cuisine, I need to be sure to weed through the posers and wanna be's, to find the real, true washoku; not to be…More »

Not only does Guu Garden make the most of their corporate-park location, they are so perfectly perfect in all things concerning Japanese food. Which may be why they don't bother with street level signage. They can obviously afford to only…More »
