Went on Friday night.. hella packed as usual.

Food.. yummy as usual.

Left full and happy. :) Didn't get to see Deon there though.

Time for 6th annual birthday dinner soon? loooll man time flies..

There are many dishes you can try, if you are looking for sushi, you can try some of our speciality rolls like the BC Blazer or Saba Inferno.
There are some good meat dishes like the Chicken Karaage and Bonsai Beef is a new one. Everyone has their favourites ... hard to choose heh... but we did introduce some "personal size" dishes so you can try more varieties!
The fresh oysters are also hot sellers here :)

I was out of town the last 2 weeks, spent some time scouting in Japan.
The liquor bust was disappointing, we will definitely be stepping up our checks so don't be surprised if you're 35 and get ID'd :p

is the 8.50 pitcher special still ongoing? Any plans to move to Robson?

As far as I know the $8.50 pitchers are still running, probably for at least another week or 2? You can always give Broadway a call to double check.
Broadway #: (604) 876-3388

Sorry no plans for these uber cheap pitchers in the Downtown Robson branch, our rapingly high building rent simply wouldn't allow it, we would be losing so much money. :(

What's the word on when the new location (Kamei; old Ensemble Tap) will open?

Still lots of work to do, tentatively aiming for the 3rd week of January but that's just a rough estimate.

cool thanks.

richmond? :D

Just out of curiosity whats the rent like on Robson?

More than you can afford ... :cool: ... Ferrari ...

J/K ... sorry I can't divulge that specific information but let's just say you can buy a brand new fully loaded Honda Accord and pop open a few dozen bottles of Cristal every month with the money we pay to the landlord :p

We are in the downtown core afterall ... so they just jack up the prices like no tomorrow, why do you think the Payless Shoe store downstairs is now gone, so is the Bread Garden across the street, both have been empty for months now ... all couldn't afford the rent.

around 30-40gs?? I am guessing it is around this price before you said ur fun estimates

what were you scouting in japan? :suspicious: the fish? :joy:

Colliers and etc is a good resource to find out rough $$/sq.ft for a specific area

Every few years we go and see if there are any talented chefs in Japan and we invite them to come to Ebisu/Kamei to either work or train and show our current chefs new things.

A lot of our chefs are flown in direct from Japan, it's not cheap, but that's how you all get delicious food :p

^ thats pretty awesome! ahahah

you guys gonna start selling live baby octopuses anytime soon? lawlz

:rukidding: That's Korean lol! :p

Been going to Broadway with more frequency due to the $8.50 pitchers...keep seeing the same old lady waitress. Probably thinks I'm an alcoholic...

"Can I get two pitchers and a cold sake?"
"OK small cold sake"
"......no.....the large one......"
"....."

Just made a reservation for this Saturday :nyan:

brought out an above&beyond group therapy cake for my friend's birthday. waitress was like see u guys at get together LOL. played the group therapy album for us :fullofwin:

went to the broadway location last sunday, 1st time.

website specials do not reflect what is actually there and unfortunately the building's parkade was closed at dinner time

nice place though. my friend was disappointed at no wing specials that day lol.

i was there for the beer specials so i was good :lawl:

gotta go back on a tuesday to appease him lol

Still running the $8.50 Sapporo pitchers?

when i was there, yes. i thought it was only during happy hour but the waitress said not just during happy hour

it was sapporo only. for some reason i thought they had asahi on special too. oh well the beer was good.

Sorry our website update was delayed (and still is) for this month. :(

The beer special should still be running yup, and it's not only happy hour, it's ALL THE TIME! :victory:

:victory: is what i was thinking when she told us it's all day

Ebisu Robson launching a brand spanking new Specials menu tomorrow! Some great new dishes!

scallop mayo sounds good right about now

Ebisu on Robson is probably the best Japanese restaurant I've been to. I love the different types of sushi you offer. It's amazing.
