Is MOONLIGHT PREMIUM SHOCHU the same as soju? the label says its from vietnam. Tried it for the first time at Shota Lounge. that stuff goes great with yam tempura. haha

Is Shota Lounge any good? Is it another Ebisu?

It's owned by my friend's ex. It looks nice inside and its similar to Ebisu

yeah. i went there with my wife and some friends on friday. This time for dinner. For a vancouver lounge, its pretty good. Completely different vibe from the day time restaurant. More relaxed than Ebisu. I was also surprised of the quality of the food considering the cheap prices. We only ordered from the $5 tapas menu. Shrimp dumplings were SO tender. Comes with 5 small pieces instead of 4 giant hard pieces. Their ebi mayo was also killer. They make their own mayo sauce. The batter is different from guu and kingyo, its more like coconut shrimp. not greasy at all either. Tuna takaki was a bit overcooked, but salmon takaki is good. I totally recommend this place whether for drinks or dinner.

sorry, kinda got a bit off topic :P

ah-hahahahaha, damn your friend is banging all the waitresses there :lol

never been there... anyone wanna have a mini RS meet there? LOL

sure. :p

I might be going to E-Hwa tonight.

Or Ebisu.

Post here if you guys wanna meetup or soemthing

there must be a better place than e-hwa or raku raku?

so guys, any places other then e-hwa and raku raku thats good for drinking and opens late?

I forget the name of the place,
but there's a place behind 7-11 where all the korean restaurants are..

N. Road and Lougheed?

^
Oops, that was vague..
In downtown on Robson, by the public market, it's near Ehwa.

Also in Coquitlam, there's a place on North Road across from KFC.. I don't know the English name sorry!

you are thinking about Chung-Dam-An(sp)

Soju meet :)

hahaha i totally know what you mean. i thought i was superman for drinking so many shots of soju..then the next second i was fucking wasted..hahahah good times

red dragon is the killer =)

You mean Suk Gi Shi Dae beside KFC and SUBWAY?
Its Sam Gyup Sal (pork belly) dedicated restaurtant. the best meat food to have with soju.

When drinking with friends, we always have bu dae jji gae, or kimchi jjigae, etc some kind of broth to have. Shot of soju + spoon of broth after is best combo IMO.

Okay. So E-Hwa has long since stopped serving alcohol after 12:30 (pretty much)
Norboo has their limit at 1.

Where's the next best place?
I know theres more just further down on Robson, but my friends are too pussy to check it out, and I'd rather not waste my time going down there only to be shot down.

RakuRaku is good, but parking sucks, and the location is ehh.
Anybody try any of the places in Richmond?
or ARE there any places in Richmond?

Rakuraku in Coquitlam was AWESOME. Tons of Korean girls, but way too far to make it a usual place, or even a drinking place since it's a bit of a drive.

Recommend a place in Downtown/Richmond?
Or even Coquitlam, just for the girls.

edit:
Mi-ok got married to some white guy or something who's old as fuck.
But there's a girl whos "cute" who's (KBC?)

What the fuck happened to this place.

there's a raku raku in coquitlam? i thought there's only one in bby.

u should check out chungdam-an on robson beside 7/11.. it's got better girls and the atmosphere is better than e-hwa..

Is that the place with the tinted out windows or always crazy dark from the outside?

Looks like Ewha got busted too many times now and are abiding to their alcohol license rules now lol.

Yup. hotter korean chicks and better looking waitresses there.

Hmm.
So nowhere?
