Guuuuu! What did you doooooo?? Have they been doing this the whole time?? Since when does grilled eel come with bright orange cheese melted on top?! Jeebus, I'm no connoisseur but that *can't* be authentic. It just can't.

I still mostly like it -- the…More »

Umm, I think I may have missed something? This came so highly recommend that I was super jazzed to finally check out Gyoza King. Maybe it's because I can't eat glutinous products and didn't try the gyoza that they are the "king" of, or maybe the…More »

Vancouver, BC V6G 2L7
(604) 685-1136

Category: Japanese

Neighbourhood: West End

Update - 10/6/2011

TWELVE dollars for a half-liter of wine?! Now *this* is why Zakkushi is authentic: izakayas are for big drinking, small bites, and good friends. I love this place for *not* doting on me, for *not* waiting on me hand and foot, for feeding me tiny…More »

Neighbourhood: West End

Christmas Eve four years ago: it's raining, it's cold, we're miserable. We need a drink. After walking up and down Denman debating back and forth for what feels like at least an hour, we finally decided that Kingyo izakaya would be the answer to our…More »

That's it, I'm riding this Suika train all the way back to the West End! Who knew such an amazing and authentic Japanese izakaya would exist outside of my favourite little corner of the city? Well, a lot of people, apparently -- this place is…More »
