A straight-up, down-to-earth, Japanese joint!
Even if you have never stepped into the realms of this neighbourhood restaurant, you have undoubtedly driven past the unremarkable strip mall which houses "Shiro".

Let me start this review off with a disclaimer.... I personally have never been a fan of "sandwiches". Yes, yes, I know. I can hear all the "boos" from all of you. Who doesn't like sandwiches?.... you ask ( as many before you have questioned)...…More »
It's been some time since my trip to Seattle...and doing this review has been on my mental "to-do" list since forever. So hopefully I can do it justice by recalling as many details as possible.

Ever dream of having Chinese-style hot pot for LUNCH??? Dream no more. I have found just the place for you!
To be honest, there really isn't much to review on the food for hot pot restaurants - because you cook the food yourself. I guess the…More »
Upon entering this restaurant on a wet and dreary evening... I was immediately impressed with the cozy atmosphere. Red walls, impressive chandeliers, and wood accents. The low lighting added to the warm and inviting vibe.

Visiting the one and only Nespresso boutique in Vancouver is reminiscent of a posh lounge. The shiny white interior pegged with the colourful coffee capsules is a treat for the eyes.

Like the name of this business says... MASSAGE THERAPY CENTRE.. that's just what it is... an establishment that does massage therapy in addition to acupuncture and reflexology. Don't expect a zen sanctuary when you visit, as this is not a spa.

My first visit to Sebs. I know, I know, Shame on me. Prior to my visit, I was forewarned that there will most likely be a line up and a long one to say the least. Being mentally prepared for this, I made my way over on a long weekend Monday. To my…More »
Out of their 3 locations, the Zakkushi on Main St is by far my favourite. We had 4 people dining the evening of my visit. Luckily we secured a reservation as the restaurant was steadily full.
I will try to recap some of my favourites from that…More »

Habit is back with a vengeance! Not sure when this restaurant re-opened but we met some friends there after dinner about 2 weeks ago. It was after 9pm - but there were still people waiting for tables. Luckily our party of people snagged a semi-circle…More »
I'm usually quite loyal to my Richmond restaurants for dim sum. But a shopping day at Oakridge with my Moms lead me to this establishment for lunch. I have been to this restaurant in the past... but no memorable experiences. This should have been a…More »

It's about 10 years since my last visit.... but wow, Miko is back on the list, baby! All of the sashimi was super fresh. The Special Chirashi Don was excellent. Unagi Don was very good - but not the best. We also had the Deep Fried Gingko Nuts and…More »

Not being one to wait for food - I've stayed away from Kintaro's for many years. One Saturday morning, my craving took over me and possessed me to head down to Denman. As we drove drove by the small noodle joint, I caught a glimpse of the bodies…More »

Out of all the Izakaya's in the city, I would confidently say that this is my FAVOURITE one. We have eaten here about 5-6 times now - scrumptious food every time. Consistency over time is the real test for any food establishment.
