I first wrote about Guu in 2007 when they had three locations. Now the Japanese izakaya chain has eight, including Toronto. (Hi Gigi!) The one we’ve been going to the most is Guu Richmond in the Aberdeen Centre mall. We usually go there for lunch because it’s so convenient (free mall parking), very child-friendly [...]
Bit of an unexpected busy day being called into work. So I used my VISA to buy second breakfast (good ole A&W), late lunch (curry tonkatsu rice and spicy tuna roll from Ebi Ten) and a treat for the end of the day. Don’t forget, after five days of #visaeveryday to see how much I’ve [...]
Sushi Kimura had food blogs and critics buzzing this spring. Chef Itsuroku Kimura moved from L.A. — where he owned and ran four restaurants — to retire in Vancouver for the better air quality. But he got bored of playing golf so he opened Sushi Kimura in a very unlikely spot in East [...]
When it’s grey and wet in Vancouver, ramen always fits the bill. But I don’t mean the instant stuff North Americans tend to know as ramen, but the real comfort kind with slow-simmered broth.

They go there a lot so you know it’s family friendly. It’s a curious restaurant located in the cafeteria [...] UPDATE-March 2012: Sadly, Bistro the Home has closed due to a lack of business.
Bistro The Home is my kind of place for several reasons. It’s got a quirky name along with a quirky concept (to most people) of Asianized pasta. The tranquil, modern dining room is hidden in a strip mall on Alexandra Road [...]
The Night Market in Richmond, B.C. is a huge summer weekend event. Modelled after Asian markets where people can socialize and eat, eat, eat, this place is packed from the moment it opens at 7 p.m. til closing. It just shows there’s a big appetite for late-night destinations in North America. The market has gotten [...]
Aberdeen Centre has become a regular haunt for lunches out with H. The bright food court has tons of seating, there are always high chairs, and I don’t have to rush to vacate our table for other customers. Teppan Kitchen is one of the more popular stands. It combines a few Asian concepts. The website [...] |
