This place is one of the top sushi places I've been to! Amazing black cod in miso sauce dish, fresh toro sushi, great appetizer dishes. And a beautiful, trendy upscale environment. Prices are definitely on the high side so difficult to make it a regular haunt, more like a night out!

Standard but comfortable pub environment that's great for watching Canucks hockey games. Wings are excellent, lots of variety - Jakarta wings are my new favorite. But warning, not for the faint of heart, very hot! The rest of the food is average at best. Prices are very reasonable though.

I am not a fan of buffets, particularly when it comes to Indian food. Saffron is my only exception and with good reason. The quality, variety and tastiness of their dishes are worthy of a four star rating alone. Combine this with fresh naan served to your table, a friendly and clean environment, and a low price point, Saffron is truly worth a visit. The beef masala dish is outstanding!

Wow! Thank you again Yelp. I think I just discovered my new favorite Pho joint. Delicious heavier but not overwhelming broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tasty rare beef all served in one of the cleanest and more modern Pho places I've been to (should be noted, it used to be a sushi restaurant so they inherited the nice chairs and stylish decor). Highly recommend! Don't let the upstairs, corner strip mall location deture you.

I used to frequent this place back in the day when the location on the tip of Gastown was still shady. Now, spruced up by a recent renovation and the introduction of delivery service makes the place far more appealing and worth a revisit. The pizza has always been a cut above, however, with the recent explosion in better authentic pizza offerings like Marcello's and Sciue, Icendio doesn't stand out as it once did. Still, you can find some great tasting pizza here, along with some funky topping combos. Their best pizza? Try the UKRANIAN ANGST with roasted potatoes, fresh rosemary, and garlic. I know, I know, doesn't sound that great. Trust me on this one, fantastic!

I feel like I just stumbled out of Vancity and into the East Village of Manhattan. Cool place with awesome Americano. Tried it for the first time on a hunch, glad I did. Try their spelt cranberry cookie... tastes surprisingly much better than it sounds. Highly recommend!

As far as your late night, stumble-in-after-drinking pizza by the slice goes, it doesn't get much better than Pizza Garden. I've introduced it to friends who now trek over to The Drive just to satisfy their craving! If I have my choice, I prefer authentic thin crust Italian-style pizza which this is not. But in the category of Ghetto Pizza (MegaBites, Uncle Faith, and Fresh Slice) this is the best. My all-time favorite is the cappicolo slice lightly drizzled with blue cheese dressing.

Sciue Italian Bakery Caffe

Sciue and Marcello are may favorite pizza places in the city! Both stay true to the Italian-style thin crust pizza with less emphasis on topping quantities and more on quality and flavor. I often head over here during lunch for a quick bite as it's walking distance from my office. Be warned of the workday lunch crowd as it can get very busy. But once you try it, you'll understand why. Many original creations to choose from.

Let's get this out of the way first - the service sucks. But the pizza is the BEST tasting pizza in Vancouver! Tasty thin crust, rich tasting yet light sauce and high quality ingredients. I crave their Margherita pizza, and the Italian salami with fresh tomatoes (not on the menu anymore, but you can order it that way - just ask). The most authentic Italian-style pizza in the city and the atmosphere is great too. And if you're a fan of tiramisu, also the best in the city! Just beware of the service. I would give it 5-stars if it weren't for that one issue.

Surprisingly great-tasting, high quality pizza from a whole in the wall - literally - they serve pizza out of a sliding window. In an area packed by cheap and uninspiring $1 pizza slices, this place is hands down the best in this area, and one of the top five pizza joints in Vancouver. Thin crust, high quality ingredients, and authentically Italian. You can tell the owners take great pride in their pizza. But it will cost you more. $2.50.  :)
