Benkei Ramen has a few locations around Vancouver. This particular location in Kitsilano (W. Broadway & Trutch), is a a bright, warm and inviting restaurant. The wood-toned decor creates a comforting dining experience, especially on cold and dreary days. Nothing beats a hot bowl of soup and warm atmosphere on rainy Vancouver evenings. I ordered […]

Ajisai Sushi Bar Review
Ajisai is an exceptional sushi restaurant in Vancouver (in Kerrisdale, tucked away on West 42nd Ave) because it’s so well executed. Sure, Vancouver has tonnes of sushi restaurants around the city, but sadly, a lot of them aren’t very good. Ajisai is an authentic Japanese staffed restaurant and is different because it stays true to […]
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Review
Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is a Japanese owned and operate chain of restaurants. The ramen restaurant company has many locations in Japan, two in Hong Kong, two in Singapore, and even seven in the U.S.A. Their only Canadian location is on Robson Street (corner of Bidwell) in the West End of Vancouver, BC. It’s always quite […]
Toshi Sushi Review
Toshi is a small Japanese restaurant on 16th, near Main Street. They don’t take reservations and the restaurant is only open from 5-10pm. You have to stand in line before it opens to get a seat…or you’ll need to put your name on the list and prepare to wait for a while. We waited in […]
Iki Japanese Restaurant Review
Yes, we seem to eat a lot of Japanese food in Vancouver. I guess that’s what happens when this beautiful city offers a sushi restaurant on almost every corner! Approaching the end of my cleanse (no sugar, no salt, no dairy, etc.) last week, I thought Japanese would be a healthy choice for dinner. How […]
Guu Thurlow Review
Guu is a Japanese Tapas restaurant with a few locations around Vancouver, and one in Toronto. We visited the original Guu on Thurlow (just south of Robson Street). Let me start off by saying this place is lively and LOUD! The kind of noise that actually hurts your ears. I’ve been to Tokyo, but I […]
Toyo Sushi Restaurant Review
Toyo Sushi is located on Cambie Street near West 6th Avenue, in the Fairview area of Vancouver. It is technically a Japanese style restaurant, but also serves a variety of Korean dishes such as bibimbap, hae-dup bap and kimchi. The restaurant also masquerades as a sports bar, as there are always regulars gathered round their […]
Temaki Sushi Review
We live really close to Temaki Sushi and have always heard great reviews about the Japanese restaurant. “Best Sushi in Vancouver” is a title thrown around a lot in conversation, so we thought we’d better check it out! Walking past the sushi joint on a regular basis, we noticed that it’s often busy - always […]
