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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Shuraku Sake Bar and Bistro Japanese Restaurant on Granville

March 7, 2010

I’m baaa-ack! It took me almost a full week of not eating and not being able to look at food pictures or talk about food, but now I’m here and ready to write again! I had a crazy stomach virus that I probably caught towards the end of the Olympics and didn’t realize it, so [...]

Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar in Yaletown

March 1, 2010

I haven’t been to the Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar for quite awhile now – I’ve only been about four or five times to date, but have really enjoyed it every time I’ve gone. When I found out that it was open for lunch during the Olympics after walking by it over the last [...]

Kaide Sushi

February 16, 2010

First of all I’d just like to say Congratulations to Canada’s Alex Bilodeau for winning the first Olympic gold medal on Canadian soil last night! I was lucky enough to get invited to the Men’s Moguls event last minute, and was so excited to be able to enjoy the experience of being there during that [...]

Shiro Japanese Restaurant on Cambie

February 14, 2010

Shiro is one of those great sushi restaurants in Vancouver that I used to frequent at least once a week when I lived a few blocks away on Cambie Street a few years back (its located in a strip mall near 15th Ave). I was definitely a regular there and couldn’t get enough of the [...]

Hapa Izakaya in Yaletown

January 15, 2010

Since I’d already been to Glowbal the first night they were open and wasn’t into joining the crazy relaunch party last night, I decided to head over to the newly reopened Hapa Izakaya in Yaletown (on Hamilton at Davie by Cactus Club) with a girlfriend before going to my volleyball league later on in the [...]
