James on Hastings

October 4, 2012

Another restaurant that I dined out at in the past few weeks with my grass 4s volleyball team was James on Hastings. Located in a small strip mall on East Hastings at the corner of Slocan, this Chinese restaurant apparently closed due to a fire and then reopened again only a short time ago. James, [...]

No. 1 Beef Noodle House

October 13, 2010

On Thursday nights in the winter, I play in a volleyball league out in Burnaby. The last time I went, most of the team decided to go for a bite to eat afterward, as we were all starving and had happily just won all our games. Never being there before, someone suggested we go to [...]

Kirin Chinese Restaurant – City Square

March 15, 2010

So to finish off the girl’s stagette weekend over a week ago (note that many of the guys were simultaneously on an RV road trip to Reno), we went for a dim sum brunch on Sunday, to help nurse our hangovers collectively. It was actually surprising that around nine of us ended up showing for [...]

Bao Bei in Vancouver’s Chinatown

January 20, 2010

I was having a particularly bad day yesterday and just felt groggy and completely not myself, so was in need of what I would call comfort food (to me, it’s anything Asian that tastes good). I called up a girlfriend and forced myself out of the house, instead of just staying and wallowing at home [...]

Joyeaux Café & Restaurant

December 9, 2009

Today I headed over to the Joyeaux Café & Restaurant that’s in downtown Vancouver for some lunch. Some friends had taken me there once before and I remembered thinking that the food was good and it was always so packed inside. Once we got there, I was super happy that we managed to snag one of [...]
