BEST CONGEE I'VE EVER HAD... seriously.

This restaurant is huge and despite having to wait half an hour for a table of 10 that I reserved a few days in advance. It was well worth the wait and experience. It can be a little hard to find if you didn't…More »

For our overnight visit to Vancouver with two girlfriends and a guy friend, Tunnel was the place to be on Friday night.

They have 'Bread and Butter' Fridays... which to be honest, I have no idea what kind of theme that is, but we had an amazing time!

I've already been to the Vancouver Aquarium twice and I haven't been to the Seattle one yet. Oh and I live in Seattle.

Absolutely legit dim sum. Biggest siu mai and shrimp dumplings I've ever seen/eaten in my life. Like I said, legit.

The thousand year old egg and shredded pork congee was really amazing as well. I'd have to say that congee works a lot better than pho…More »

The first time I tried to eat here... we had missed last call by 15 minutes. I was SO mad. We drove all the way up from Seattle to eat these delicious xiao long baos and we were late :( BUT, I finally got to eat it the second time around, woohoo! It…More »

  1/18/2010 First to Review

The location for this modest hotel could not be any better. It's pretty much smack in the middle of downtown Vancouver and within walking distance to many nightclubs and trendy shops along Robson Street.

The only downside is that the only parking they…More »

I burned my upper mouth while taking a bite out of my Japadog. That being said, it was good but not THAAAAT great.

There was a bit of a line and our large group of 10 spent a few minutes tracking down the Japadog stand in downtown Vancouver. I had…More »

I went here on my day trip to Vancouver BC yesterday with my mom and her two friends. We all really enjoyed the park because it was so beautiful! I'm sure it's easier prettier in the spring/summer time but we had no choice but to settle for the rainy…More »

This place has REALLY good dim sum. The wait time was ridiculously long though =( I think I always just go to the best restaurants at the worst times. Our party of four waited about half an hour to get seated. But the food was worth it... I think.

I never understood how people could be vegetarians. They are missing out on the true pleasures in life. Baby back ribs. Sashimi. Chicken wings. Pulled pork. Come on!

But this review isn't about hating on vegetarians, it's about my praise for Bo Kong…More »

This place is pretty affordable for a Japanese restaurant. A friend and I came here for dinner after we watched a SIFF film at the Harvard Exit. The location was very convenient and we didn't bother going further on Broadway to find another place to…More »

When I visit the Vancouver BC area, I'm always aiming to have dim sum for lunch and sushi for dinner. But when I went to the place that I wanted to go on a Monday evening for sushi, I was disappointed... because it was closed. SOL.

So we drove to…More »

Because my friends and I refused to wait an hour for Toshi Sushi just across the street. We decided to take a chance on Nikkyu.

Needless to say, we left happy and satisfied. The sushi was decent and cheap! I ordered a tempura ramen and that was pretty…More »

We resorted to going into Speakeasy because all the clubs had long lines and the other bar we went into was OVERPRICED. But then again, this place was kind of pricy too and last call's at 2 a.m. WHAT?

The nachos were $15 and $3.75 for guacamole.…More »
