Sometimes you just need a dependable, convenient and inexpensive place for lunch. Chez Faye Cafe fits that bill in Yaletown, right beside the Roundhouse SkyTrain station.
It serves breakfast, coffee, sandwiches, pasta and a handful of Korean and Japanese dishes, for under $9.
My bulgogi box ($8.95) had a serving of beef, rice, simple green [...]
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 which is more known for loud, Chinese eateries. And lastly, it’s run by [...]
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 [...]
Kim Chi House is one of Jason’s fabulous lunch finds when he was working near Chinatown. It’s located in the same City Plaza building as Hans Restaurant, a Taiwanese/Szechuan place that’s one of my Calgary favourites.

I think I found one of the best setups in Calgary at [...]
If you ride the C-Train downtown, you’ll likely have passed Manrijangsung which opened three months ago. Decorated with pink and gold wallpaper and red lanterns, it’s kind of hard to tell what kind of Asian cuisine it serves.
Usually packed with Korean students from the ESL schools nearby, Manrijangsung also features a wall-sized photo of the [...]
Finding a spot in Toronto to catch up with some girls from work turned out to be a bit harder than we thought. We didn’t want to go to a pub so that ruled out a lot of places downtown. A bistro/bar was way too noisy and crowded. We finally ended up at Swish [...]
UPDATE – July 5, 2010: In a strange twist, Korean Village has closed its location near the Calgary Tower and taken over the one formerly occupied by Dae Jang Geum at 1324 – 10th Ave. S.W.
I was really craving some Korean food on Friday night, so we headed out to Dae Jang Geum, which [...]
