Guu With Garlic Izakaya Review
Out of the six Guu izakaya locations on the Lower Mainland, we’ve previously eaten at Guu with Otokome in Gastown and Guu’s original location on Thurlow. Most recently we checked out the second oldest Guu restaurant, Guu with Garlic on Robson Street. This popular Japanese tapas eatery boasts an amusing concept: “Garlic is sexy”. Sexy [...]
Best Deal At Temaki Sushi!
We’ve been to Temaki Sushi quite a few times since it’s conveniently located around the corner from us.

Maruwa Sushi Japanese Restaurant Review
Maruwa Sushi Japanese Restaurant is located right beside Tim Hortons in the strip-mall along Steveston Highway, between No. 5 Road and Shell Road. Unlike most places in Vancouver proper, ample complimentary parking is conveniently available right out front of this Richmond restaurant. We’ve eaten at Maruwa plenty of occasions over the years, as my sister-in-law [...]
