Yep, definitely! I have a few friends cooking at Hawksworth and looking at their photos on facebook.....makes me jittery to cook again. Where do you cook if you dont mind me asking? :O

To keep on topic, had dimsum at Fortune House two days ago - 8/10. Lots of people complain over the price but I firmly believe the chef does GIVE what you PAY for. That being said, my bill was covered by the chef and a nice tour of the line hahah

I avoid restaurants that garnish their plates with un-edible things such as huge sprigs of rosemary or tarragon LOL

Had I known that prior, I would have regifted the gift certificate. :D

Kirin Richmond, for Dim Sum. May 4, 2013.

GREAT Dim Sum as always... and I love restaurants that are consistent.

10/10.

Tried out Zen Sushi in West Vancouver yesterday and the sushi was good.
Very pricy though:
MENUS
8/10

I remember Zen Sushi from 15 (or so) years ago when they first came out (I think).

They were good then.

Glad to hear they are still good now.

Ichiban near the 15th Street 7 Eleven was also good then.

Not sure what happened to Ichiban now.

^If you guys liked Zen, give Sushi Kamizato a try in POCO. Sushi K was the head sushi chef at Zen and he opened up his own resto for almost a year now. You won't be disappointed!

Hyoga Japanese Cuisine

8/10

Had the gyoza, ebi okonomiyaki, dynamite roll, negitoro roll, and pressed salmon sushi. Everything was fresh and tasty. Service is a bit on the slower side and prices were on the higher side but considering how it's the only decent place within walking distance I'm fine with it. They don't have their liquor license which I was a bit disappointed by and though they did say they were considering it. Business was quite slow though so that might be why they haven't applied for it yet. Hopefully they'll be around for awhile longer.

La Quercia tonight for dinner
Smoked veal tongue
Halibut in saor
Agnolotti de guido
Rabbit duo with lentils and radicchio
Food 9.5/10
Service 10/10
Price 9/10
This place is always bordering on or all the way to perfect. The food is simple, but astonishing. Complexity through perfection instead of huge ingredient lists. Service is from the most knowledgable and professional people, and considering the overall experience/exclusivity/quality of the restaurant, its amazingly priced. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself here.

So.

Tongue?

:concentrate:

BeeBeehAhn and GraemeS won't shut up.
Those two are very excited for our play date.

Qdoba mexican grill in seattle
8/10
quick, healthy, and pretty good

Pho Truong Thanh.

7.5/10 good food and probably the cheapest pho in town ($6.95 for large house special). Service is quick, but the place is not the cleanest. It's open 24 hours so you can satisfy that 3AM pho craving..

Grilled chicken plus fried egg (by request) banh mi ftw too at 3am to prevent a hangover in the morning

Sushi California,

Tried Sashimi
And the other BC Combo
Tempurara,
Tofu,

6/10 EDIT: 1/10 - for the cute servers (I was too generous at the rating of 6)

Reason, Tuna was a bit off, poorly formed nigiri rice that broke on me (prob because rice wasn't the freshest and seasoned right).

This was my second time, and I realized my first visit was heavily influenced by cute waitresses.

Second time around, I regretted the visit, should have stuck with Yuji.

Wow, I want to fail you. :D

haha yeah tuna being a bit off constitutes like a -6/10

http://www.revscene.net/forums/53095...ml#post8122907

LOL, yeah, I think I rated it a 6 due to a couple of cute servers.
I still don't know why I go to these shitty places -___-
Trickery I tell ya.

Cute servers = Not good :troll:

As they say, some people eat with their eyes. :D

Only go to sushi California because its walking distance from the GF's place

Is hawksworth as formal as say Hy's? From the pictures on the site looks to be more casual?
Posted via RS Mobile

Hawksworth is similar to Bluewater. Definitely not Lumiere style formal.

Smart casual is totally fine for Hawksworth.

i go to sushi by yujis every week, great food but its getting a bit on the expensive side for me cause i eat alot... 50-60 bucks for myself but worth every penny!

$50 to $60 alone? Good lord. :heckno:
