This place always gets good business, but it's come down a bit in quality and it's not the same.
I know of alot of people who just aren't coming here anymore despite the fact that they still have the best congee in town! Why?
Quality control?

So tonight was soup, no carbs and…More »

I am diabetic.
I had an awesome cupcake.
It was red, velvety red with white sugary icing.
Literaly, it was to die for.
I took the chance and had one and felt all giddy inside.
Like I was on a tightrope with no balancing bar....accross the Grand Canyon.

Firstly wanted to get rid of the negatives and then move onto the positives.
Veggie Gyoza wasn't very good, but then, from what I hear the Gyoza isn't really their forte.
It's the Ramen that is the bread winner here. Or noodle winner, I should say.

I used to live in this area and would come to the Spot now and then with my wife. A few days ago, I came back, it brought back some pretty good memories of the two of us just sitting, eating, chatting and enjoying a meal together. Simple basic…More »

We came here after our Yelp Cornucopia @ Granville and Broadway. Originally searching for something within walking distance, we ended up walking to the car after wondering if we should do the ole "Bin's" and instead prompted ourselves to try out the…More »

After another successful CMYE we were a hungry bunch of Yelpers looking for some grub and most importantly, bubble tea. Where to go, what to choose, What is still open after 10pm?
Gloucester Cafe was one choice, but sadly they didn't have bubble tea.…More »
Cyndi sure know's how to pack a joint.
The place rocked from end to end with crazily clad Yelpers and their plus 1's.
For me it was a great event and being sober at the same time helped me to put things into perspective.

Last week, was a special event for Yelpers. I was here with a whack load of Yelp Elites who were all hungry after an event and wanted only one thing. Chicken wings, from Phnon Penh!
To have such a unanimous decision made out of just knowing.

Not sure if it's still called Al's still.
I was out for a jaunt in the ole neighbourhood of Gastown and on my way to Chinatown one rainy night, I stopped in for a slice. Small, clean and quiet on a Wednesday night. The guy inside was on his phone…More »

Brown rice sushi options?
Ok for me.
Nuff said.
Kaz and his crazy group of "real" sushi guru's know how to listen and understand their customers.
BAM!!! 5 stars

Great places come and gone. (1)Places that I would repeatedly go to that were good, but are sadly no more. |
You call this Italian? (5)Places that serve Italian inspired food.So...Is it Italian or is it Ispirando! Mostly this list is about Japanese or Asian influenced Italian food. When I tried Italian food in Japan it was quite different from what my friends from Italiy would make andit lead me to this. Fusion. |
Steveston Village (40)I still have to work on this list, but it's growing.Lots of stuff to do in Steveston Village. When it's sunny outside there's even more to do. During the spring and summer, every second sunday, there is the Farmers market as well. |
Mojofoodies -Chinatown (22)We're going downtown to Chinatown!My list of places and things in and around the Chinatown area. Places that have been here for years and still running business and places I've newly discovered. It was an area I grew up in and remember fondly. It is a place I return to for those memories and to create new ones. |
Cantonese Food (4)Cantonese Food, probably one of the first Chinese cuisines to come to Canada. This is a list of places that I've eaten at in Vancouver that serves Cantonese style food. |
Japanese Food. What it Means to Me. (25)Japanese food to me is a home cooked meal.It's not always sushi and not always raw and not always rice. Here's a list of the Japanese restaurants that I've been to that I consider more authentic than others. Yasuyo can claim this list as hers as well. Although there are alot of great places I haven't been to yet. (I'll get to them someday) This is just a list of the places that I've been to that I would recommend. |
FAST AND FURIOUS FOOD (48)Fast food and drive ins, or drive throughs or dive ins. |
Happy Hour for your Car. (21)Want to pamper your car? Like to race or rally your car in competition but don't know where to start? Want to make you're new purchase look unique, cool and sleek and sexy?Below is a growing list that i'll be working on for those who love all things automobiles. Stay tuned for updates! |
Places with Potential (6)This is a list of places that have all the right stuff, but on the night or day I came, it was probably not their best day.So if you come here, please cheer them on. I know they can do better and I'm sure you will give them glowing reviews. Everybody has a bad day now and then. So this list is to prove that they know they can do it great all the time. |
The Underdog List for April 2012 (4)Here is a list of reviews that i will be doing in the month of April that have 10 or less reviews at the time of review.Unfotunately I couldn't use them for the Underdog April event listing, but this should help those Underdogs out there! |
