One of those places that always has that warm feel when you enter. You are greeted by the workers behind the bar screaming out something to welcome you. The place really is a small box in size, and always is filled with people sitting, and also with…More »

Hearing that they opened up another branch in Kitslano, I needed to check this place out, as I enjoyed their Robson location. I can say this one does not disappoint one bit. The location is perfect, as there really is nothing around the beach area to…More »

An impressive selection of menu items you would find in many of the more newer downtown, westend Japanese restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised to walk in and have a try of their food one day. On the backside of Lougheed Mall, this restaurant is…More »

If Gordon Ramsey could see this place, he would definitely rip it to shreds and say, "your giving the people's too much!". Walking in here, watching the people devour the portions here is a spectacle in itself. When you finally see the 'rolls' that…More »

The sibling of Tomokazu on Broadway in Vancouver, the menu is identical, and to my surprise, this place has been open for 3 years. I must say I actually like this place more than the one in Vancouver. Located right between Aberdeen and Parker Place,…More »
