Miura Waffle Milk Bar

December 16, 2010

I found out about Miura Waffle Milk Bar one afternoon while I was walking along Davie Street. I looked to my left, and noticed a sign up advertising waffles and various milk drinks, and looked past the small patio and into the cute restaurant thinking that this was something different that I definitely wanted to [...]

Octopus Garden

October 8, 2010

So I really, really like Octopus Garden in Kitsilano (on Cornwall) for sushi. Why? First of all, Sado-san, the chef and owner. He has a great sense of humour, is excellent and what he does (of course), and always has a big smile on his face. The last time I headed to this intimate, 30-seat [...]

Japadog (Burrard and Smithe)

September 23, 2010

The other day I was feeling like a quick walk-and-eat type of meal (which is pretty random, for me), so I went with a girlfriend to the Japadog Food Cart on Burrard and Smithe. It’s been awhile since I’d last eaten there, and since it wasn’t quite noon yet, I didn’t think we’d have to [...]

Zakkushi Charcoal Grill (Denman)

September 16, 2010

A few weeks ago, a group of about 10 of us went out for dinner to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’d been hearing a bit about Zakkushi Charcoal Grill on Denman as a great Japanese BBQ to go to, so I made some reservations for the group for that weekday evening. There are two other [...]

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

September 14, 2010

I’ve been hearing all sorts of hype for awhile now about a chain ramen restaurant originating from Japan that opened up earlier this year on Robson Street near Denman – Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. As a result, a few of us, including beautiful ladies Melody (Vancouver Food Tour) and Teresa (Senses Inspired) decided to dine there [...]

Miku Japanese Restaurant

September 1, 2010

A couple of months ago, a few of us foodie friends got together for a meal at Miku Japanese Restaurant, on West Hastings. I hadn’t tried it before but had heard that the food was good, although a bit on the higher end of the price scale. I arrived with Melody Fury of Vancouver Food [...]

Guu Otokomae

August 23, 2010

It seems like I’ve been to a lot of Japanese izakayas lately. A little while back (ok, so it was a few months ago), I headed over to Guu Otokomae in Gastown with a good girlfriend of mine, to take her out for her birthday dinner. I’ve been to a couple of others in the [...]

Kingyo

August 20, 2010

Yes, I’m still alive. For those wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been around but decidedly absent for the past couple of months. A few weddings out of town, and just general summer festivities. I’ve still been eating out, but just not as much. Anyway, back to it. I have a lot of catching up to [...]

Temaki Sushi

June 28, 2010

During one of the many stagettes I’ve been to this year (as those of you know who’ve been following me along to all of my destination weddings that go along with them), one of the places we decided to stop at for lunch was Temaki Sushi. There was a group of about eight of us [...]

Ezogiku Cafe in Yaletown

March 20, 2010

A girlfriend and I met up for lunch early this week, after I hadn’t seen her for quite awhile. She just had another lunch date that cancelled, so we decided to eat together last minute and at a place not too far from her office, Ezogiku Noodle Cafe, since she also was in a bit of a [...]
