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 [...]
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 [...]
California rolls, ho-hum? Yawning at yet another piece of yellowtail? Check this beautiful saba battera ($11.50) from Sushi Hachi (鮨八). Lightly pickled mackarel is placed on top of packed sushi rice into a box mold, which results in the tight, rectangular shape. The bite becomes different from nigiri sushi, which has rice formed by hand [...]
Like so many interesting restaurants in Richmond, Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant is located in a strip mall. Named after the world’s biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in Tokyo, Tsukiji’s website claims that its daily catches are imported directly from its namesake. I’m not skeptical because it is right near the airport, and the sashimi [...]
This is a bombolini, an Italian doughnut filled with Nutella, and how Jason started his Saturday morning at the Ferry Building. The ferry terminal, which opened in 1898, has been beautifully restored and now includes specialty food stands and restaurants. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, there’s a farmer’s market outside with the kind of glistening fruit [...]
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. Shibuya Izakaya is no Guu or Kingyo or Hapa Izakaya. It just doesn’t have the same flow or cheap prices that make the Japanese hangouts so successful in Vancouver. However, you can be content that there is now such a thing in Calgary, and that it’s [...] I’ve kept Momo-Yama Sushi up my sleeve for a while but it’s time I share one of the best values for your money in Calgary if you love Japanese food. Momo-Yama is a tiny place — seats 24 at best — tucked in the Glamorgan Shopping Centre (by the Safeway and bowling alley) in the southwest. [...]
Globefish Sushi & Izakaya is a good place to forget you’re in the middle of the Prairies. I daresay this is the best Japanese restaurant in the city, and it’s no secret. The front door is always crowded with people waiting for a seat or for takeout, even on a weeknight. Seating is limited. Maybe [...] |
