While driving along West 10th Avenue in Point Grey, we were craving a quick bite of Japanese food for dinner. We noticed Tokyo One Sushi near Trimble Street, so we pulled over right outside the tiny restaurant. Not having read any previous reviews on Urbanspoon or Yelp, we could only assess the establishment’s exterior before [...]
Shin Ju Japanese Restaurant Review — All-You-Can-Eat Sushi
on October 6, 2011 in Fairview, Japanese, Sushi
Shin Ju is a casual Japanese restaurant located in the Fairview Slopes/South Granville area of Vancouver, right on the corner of West Broadway and Hemlock. It’s a decently-sized, fairly well-lit restaurant (from the large windows taking up one whole wall). Its decor is a hodgepodge of bric-a-brac like sake bottles and Japanese art. Service was [...]
Mazuya Sushi Review
on August 29, 2011 in Japanese, Kitsilano, Sushi
Craving sushi one evening, we chose Mazuya Sushi for dinner because it was within walking distance from our home, and the restaurant had decent reviews. It has taken me forever to write this post because, sadly, we did not have an enjoyable experience… First of all, we were seated at a table that had not [...]
Japanese Restaurant Kintaro Review (Kauai, Hawaii)
on July 8, 2011 in International, Japanese, Sushi
While picking up our rental car at Kauai’s Lihue Airport, we asked the friendly employee with “aloha spirit” where we should dine for dinner. He recommended that we shouldn’t miss Restaurant Kintaro, a Japanese restaurant on the way to our hotel, the Sheraton Kauai in Poipu. Located on the main Kuhio Highway, Kintaro wasn’t [...]
Sun Sushi Review – Great Sushi Deal In Point Grey
on July 5, 2011 in Japanese, Point Grey, Sushi
We were heading to Pacific Spirit Park near UBC for a hike on the glorious long weekend, and wanted a quick bite to eat. We noticed Sun Sushi restaurant on West 10th, and decided to check it out because their sign outside read “Sushi Special: 18 pieces + miso soup for $5.95″. Wow, sounded cheap! [...]
Fuji Sushi Review – Authentic Japanese Food In Coquitlam
on June 29, 2011 in Japanese, Sushi
With a plethora of non-Japanese run sushi restaurants around Vancouver, it’s always a pleasant surprise when we happen upon a truly authentic Japanese establishment. Visiting friends in Coquitlam, we all stopped by Fuji Sushi for a bite to eat. Located on Clarke Road (near Smith Ave), Fuji Sushi is owned and operated by a Japanese [...]
Hitoe Sushi Restaurant Review – Best Sushi Combo Deal In Kitsilano
on May 8, 2011 in Japanese, Kitsilano, Sushi
Hitoe has been our go-to sushi restaurant for the past year now. Why? Well, the restaurant has amazing sushi combo deals that are very reasonably priced. Additionally, this Japanese-run establishment, consistently provides excellent, accommodating service. Located on 4th Ave. near Bleinhem, in Kitsilano, its decor is relatively spartan and the restaurant is quite tiny with [...]
Suika Izakaya Review
on April 28, 2011 in Fairview, Japanese, Sushi, Tapas
We attempted to make a reservation at Suika on a previous occasion, but the restaurant was fully booked. Fortunately we managed to secure a table for an early seating last Saturday evening (after our long walk, lunch at Taco Shack, and dessert at Dairy Queen in Kits). Sister restaurant to the famous Kingyo on Denman, [...]
