Update Jan 3, 2014: This Robson St location is now closed. It’s a bit late but after all this time, we’ve finally got on the Benkei-wagon and visited the renowned Benkei Ramen. It was Boyfriend’s birthday and he didn’t want anything fancy. He actually really really wanted to have ramen! All the better for my […]
This dinner was planned for about a month. A few weeks ago I saw the comment in my previous Ichiro Japanese Restaurant review and saw that the commenter did not have a good experience here. That worried me as I had highly recommended it to my coworkers. It was also tediously planned so I really […]
A favorite Japanese restaurant of Boyfriend and mine is The Clubhouse Restaurant. We been going since the early days of our relationship. Unfortunately we don’t get to go often since it is just so out of the way. We also found that the place seems to have irregular hours…we wanted to go once on a […]
Update: This restaurant is now closed. Fannypack and I met up with the gang on Sunday for dinner to catch up. W chose the place and she chose Soul Robata & Izakaya on Alexandra Road. As it was a Sunday I was weary of parking there, so I got Boyfriend to drop me off. That […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Where in Richmond can you have a bowl of ramen along with a refreshing HK-style iced milk tea? Mom and I deviated from our weekly ritual of going to dim sum by not going to dim sum. Instead we went to Aberdeen Centre’s food court for lunch. I really like […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Feeling like ramen, while waiting for dad’s surgery to be done, I searched on google to see if there’s a nearby ramen place without having to go to Downtown. I found Ikkyu Ramen Ten and decided to go there for lunch/early dinner afterwards. It turned out to be actually quite […]
“Berry Good…it was…Very Good!” – Boyfriend That was how he suggested I start this post. Anyways, feeling like dessert one night, I looked around Urbanspoon and Dinehere to see what dessert places are located in Richmond. Berry Good got pretty positive reviews from most everyone that reviewed. So naturally I decided that Boyfriend would accompany […]
Update Sep 21, 2009: This restaurant has since shut down. Nobusan is a recently opened restaurant located on what Wendy and I call “Road of Hell”, aka. Richmond’s No.3 Rd. The Canada Line construction has made driving almost intolerable. If you are to get to this restaurant, you must be heading south to get into […]
I would never have thought to go to this place if it wasn’t for my mom. She has become a ‘patron’ of the nearby establishment known as “Starlight Casino”. Shang Noodle House 尚麵館 is a very convenient location for the casino-goers because it’s a 2-minute walk from the casino’s front doors. Parking was simple, just […]
Pretty Sis introduced me to +Alpha (UPDATE: now called Alpha Sushi Bar), another izakaya restaurant located in downtown Vancouver. I first thought that it’s probably a lesser known Japanese tapas restaurant due to the “monopoly” by Guu. However, Pretty Sis says that this place gets busier the later it gets, so I guess this gem […]
