Halong Bay Vietnamese Restaurant

Update Jun 10, 2009: This restaurant has since closed down I’ve had this stashed in my pictures folder for the longest time.  I’ve just never came around to blogging them (as you might be able to tell from the last picture, the business card was taken with a Christmas Card backdrop!!!) This is a nice […]

Shang Noodle House 尚麵館

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 […]

Pho An Nam 安南餐廳

This is a gem that Boyfriend and I found out not too long ago.  As it’s not located in the central restaurant area of Richmond, we had always forgotten about it even though we’ve always wanted to try it. We now frequent this Vietnamese restaurant the most since it’s the one closest to us. An […]

New Seoul Restaurant

As much as I like the Korean restaurants here in the Lower Mainland, I’ve always found that in Washington where my aunt lives, there is better Korean (and Vietnamese) food.  (Chinese food is a different story…) New Seoul Restaurant is a Korean restaurant my aunt’s family frequent.  They had taken us there numerous times also, […]

G-MEN Ramen Shop G-麵

Update: This restaurant is now part of Nan-Chu Restaurant. FIRST POST!  I had to let that out! I have been wanting to post for a while, to finally take the jump into the world of blogging. Let’s get right down to business.  After moping around and thinking of where to eat for dinner, we have […]

Kim Ga Nae 金家內

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant is now closed. This is one of the newer Korean BBQ restaurants in Richmond.  It is located at Browngate Road diagonally across from Aberdeen Centre. They boast 27 items on their AYCE BBQ menu, which is $19.95 at dinner time.  However, as you can see, two items are crossed […]

Dine-out Vancouver 2009: The American Grille

Boyfriend and I were able to attend another Dine-out just prior to my cruise.  This time I chose a $28 menu, at a restaurant close to where we live so that we didn’t have to travel far. We had been to The American Grille once before because of a recommendation from a friend to try […]

Si Chuan First Restaurant 天府風私房菜

Update Oct 3, 2009: This restaurant has since shut down. This is a small, not particularly noticeable Sze Chuan (Si Chuan) restaurant nestled in a little alcove on Buswell Street.  If you know where Happy Date is, you can cross from Happy Date to the back and you’ll see it. This is a gem of […]

ellie Tropical Cuisine 耶里流行餐坊

Update May 18, 2009: This restaurant has since closed down 😥 OMG.  I’ve found the BEST LAKSA EVER (on this side of the world anyways…). I’ve always wanted to go to Ellie to try their paper hotpot.  However now that I’m here, I’ve realized that they’ve increased their pricing and now I find it a […]

Motomachi Shokudo 元町食堂

Motomachi Shokudo is apparently opened by the same ramen chef that owns/opened Kintaro Ramen.  This new restaurant is supposed to be the healthier alternative to the fatty pork fat based Kintaro Ramen.  Here the chef uses only organic ingredients and the soup base is made from organic chicken rather than pork fat. As you can […]
