Sushi Hachi is one of those local gems that has received lots of rave reviews due to their homely atmosphere, and simple, comfort food that is familiar to Japanese and non-Japanese alike. They have the staples of Japanese cuisine that’s known and loved all over, like California Rolls, Cones, Tempura, and the more adventurous, authentically […]
Update Jan 28, 2011: This restaurant is now closed. As I said before the next dish I wanted to try at Sensus Bistro was the Pork Cartilage Ramen. I finally got the chance to try it. This was $7.95 and it’s quite a large portion size. The soup looks flavorful and it was, it didn’t […]
Again Boyfriend and I may be late to the bandwagon but we finally visited Menya one day for lunch/brunch. But boy-oh-boy I never expected traffic to be so congested on a Tuesday noon hour on Broadway. Parking was hard to find! We made it anyways, and was glad that there were plenty of seats available. […]
Update Jul 2, 2013: This restaurant is now closed. I’ve been going to Tapioca Express since I was in high school. I haven’t been there very often since but I know for a fact that some of the guys I knew in high school that haven’t seem to have gone forward with their lives (harsh […]
Dinner at Guu! Woohoo! However, it’s only the one at Aberdeen, and I think that one has a reputation for not being up to par with the Downtown ones. However, this was back at the time before the Canada Line was finished, we didn’t want to go drive all the way there, we settled for […]
For Fannypack’s birthday dinner, I chose for us to head to Downtown via the Canada Line. It’s convenient and since Fannypack and O haven’t been on it before, I thought it’ll be fun. My restaurant choice that night was ShuRaku Japanese Bistro. Just get off at Vancouver City Centre Station and walk 1.5 blocks and […]
Wendy likes to check out the Klip magazine where they feature local restaurants and other interesting items. The front cover to a recent issue had Gyo-O as one of the featured places (it sure pays to be on the front cover)! Gyo-O is at a good location inside the usually busy Continental Centre in Richmond. […]
Koon Bo is one of those restaurants that if you don’t know about it, you would never think to go there. After all, the location pretty much sucks, the parking sucks, the decor sucks, the waiting area sucks, you get the drift. So why is it so popular? Of course it’s the food. It’s not […]
Pearl Castle at Richmond Centre has finally opened and Boyfriend and I took the chance to visit it on a weekday for lunch. Boy it was packed. But we still managed to get a seat right away. Oh it’s located in the same corridor where McDonald’s is, at the space that was previously Richmond Farm […]
You take a long-time classic like “Milk Tea”, throw some tapioca balls (and then call them precious pearls) in there and thus, creating one of the most popular modern beverage in the last 15 years. We call it simply ‘Bubble Tea’ – its existence permeates the lives of most Asians around the world. Today, we […]
