It's only fitting that I write my first Yelp Canada review for my favorite restaurant in Vancouver....Richmond, to be exact. Be sure to pass by this place after you land or before you go....it's close to the airport and would be a shame to not eat…More »

Every couple of years or so I start to get antsy for dim sum. It was time for me to travel to Vancouver to get my fix. I still haven't gone here for dinner *sob* but the dim sum is still great.
Came here with Clara S. and 4 of her friends,…More »
Review is for dim sum only. I have yet to eat the Alaskan King Crab dish here which is a shame… Read more »

Poutine is known for post party/alcohol absorption food and since I don't drink anymore, Poutine as an afternoon snack post ziplining would suffice.
We ordered a large poutine and waited, for bated breath, for my crack fix for the day. It seems like I…More »
After arriving in Vancouver we were cold and hungry and went straight to Japadog for a hot dog with Japanese toppings. I wanted to go there after I saw Anythony Bourdain bite into one on NR. I picked this location because it had seating and was close…More »

As touristy as this place is, I still like coming here. We came here on a rainy and misty day and still enjoyed ourselves. I don't have a fear of heights so it was fun walking quickly across the bridge.
What I enjoyed more was the Treetops Adventure,…More »
After a day of pouring rain, the skies opened and the sun peeked out. It was a sunny and cool and we wanted brunch. I've experienced a lot of different kinds of food in Vancouver but this would be my first foray into brunch.
Our concierge recommended…More »
High Tea is something that I don't do often in the US. I know that there are several in the Bay Area but it's not something that I can compare to the high tea they have in Hong Kong (Mandarin Oriental Clipper Lounge to be exact).

Late night comfort food dining. On a cold rainy night I came here with some friends and was not disappointed. We were a party of 6 and did not have to wait long for a table. The menu was huge - I didn't get a chance to try the Congee because I…More »

Mondo Gelato changed their name to Gelarmony and I'm happy to report they still have the same gelato, and they still have their cash only policy. $3.95 gets you a cup with 2 scoops.
I got my favorite, Nuttella. It's still creamy, nutty, chocolatety,…More »
This is the reason why I love gelato....Nutella gelato. I first visited this place on a hot summers… Read more »
I like that Samurai is a good value for money. They have huge cuts of sushi at reasonable prices. I laughed when I read Mark H's review if the reason this place is called Samurai because they used a Samurai sword to cut the sushi. I'm not sure if…More »

I went here with a group of friends and had a fantastic time! Hapa Izakaya is owned by a hapa guy who was managing the front of the restaurant. My friend told me that Hapa was known for their hot waitstaff....I thought the female servers were pretty…More »
I've already reviewed the mountain itself but this is a review for the ziplining they offer: http://www.grousemount... We paid $105/pp + tax which includes Skyride & dual-track, five-line Zip circuit.
It was a cold. windy and wet day, the rainiest…More »

I came here with friends for lunch. Restaurant is downstairs from the sidewalk which if you walk too fast you might miss it.
We had to get some sustenance before heading out to empty out our wallets on Robson. I ordered the Black Cod lunch set which…More »
Still 4 stars. Stayed at the Four Seasons again, this time my trip was more memorable than the last.
They gave us a panoramic view room (which apparently meant views of the condo towers and a bit of the ocean). This was lost on us since the weather…More »

The mother ship, what can I say? Only a hop, skip and jump from my hotel Le Soleil.
It may seem that the prices are cheaper than the US but don't forget to add on 13% sales tax (!!!) to your purchase. I was going to purchase something but I…More »

Great place for dim sum in Richmond. My mom and I enjoyed eating here with her friends and everything was solid. I wish I could remember everything we ordered (my uncles overordered like usual).
The only thing that stood out was the mango…More »

I have yet to check out the Aritiza at Valley Fair....but I make sure to go to the Robson Street store every time I'm in Vancouver.
They carry Marc by Marc Jacobs, See by Chloe, Minkpink, Ernest Sewn, tsubi, AG, Rock and Republics, Sevens, Citizens,…More »
A couple years ago, I went to visit some friends in Vancouver and who were also in town at the Fairmont. I went to visit them at the Fairmont but apparently they stayed on a floor where you need the room key to get the lift up to their floor so I had…More »
