anybody been to guu on thurlow during lunch? just wondering how it is since ive only gone during dinner time.

How exactly is Lime? I always pass through the area, look inside, but never want to venture inside because I keep on thinking in the back of my mind that it's Japanese fusion. I hate all kinds of fusion food (personal preference) so I've been very hesitant to try the place out.

MANZO...

A little pricey but they got high end japanese food there. There is pretty much no sushi on the menu but the food is A+.

It's super packed, last time I went waited a hour but the food is very yum, you should definitely check it out. From what I remember everything was under $10 and very filling.

I went to the Japanese Izakaya place called "Kingyo" at 871 Denman St. couple days ago.

Food was alright, place was very small as all the regular sized tables were full or reserved, so had to sit at the bar.

It took a lot of dishes to fill up me and my two friends, still I prefer Hapa or Guu couple blocks away.

gross

I find myself going to the two places below a lot.
- Shiro
- Hiroshi's Sushi Creations

Also would recommend:
- Yuji's

FUCK
yakko sushi has increased their price.. now i gotta find a new cheap and good sushi place.. FUCK

shiro is pretty cheap and good quality.
dinner for one is only $20 and has good variety

I second Toshi for sushi. Only bad thing is the wait.

Whats wrong with Manzo? I thought it was pretty good...on par with goo.

Manzo and Guu are at opposite ends of the Izakya spectrum..

yes, it is on par with GOO!

wha?

Hi there!

I just tried a Japanese restaurant last friday by the name of "Village Sushi". It's a small Japanese place owned by a husband and wife. Their sushi was awesome as everything had a very "home-made" feel to it. It wasn't like those high class sushi places where everything had a refined feel to it but more of a down-to-earth restaurant. Personally, I love that feeling :D

The restaurant is located on #2 (in Richmond) down all the way past Steveston, basically at the end haha.

Would definitely recommend it. It was not pricey at all either with extremely fresh fish.

i remember driving down there hoping to try this place out but ran into 2 problems. there was nowhere to park and it was like wednesday, 12pm and it was closed.

omg Tojo's isn't on any of your lists?!

http://www.tojos.com/

the place is literally world famous :P

World famous for being expensive! hahaha

But it can be good... but just bang-for-the-buck i would go somewhere else

holly shit i just browsed thru tojo's menu


their prices are FUCKING outrageous!!!!!!!!!

hi genki

their unagi don and miso soup was soo good...

i love barefoot kitchen. the katsu curry isn't that big nor is it the best but the hamburg steak is awesome. i prefer yoshoku-ya for katsu curry...possibly the best in the lower mainland. however, in relation to barefoot, theres nowhere else in downtown where you can get a nice filling lunch for less than $6 that includes miso soup!

^ Wheres that?

imma go drop by that place tomorrow haha

LOL talk about a late reply I totally forgot about this thread. Lime isn't too shabby although the menu isn't the biggest so I tend to not go that often cause I get bored of always ordering the same thing. This is to me the one downfall of this place but none the less I like it a lot. But usually prefer like Kingyo or something just because the menu is so much bigger. Go check out their website and see if anyting interests you. It definitely isn't a fusion place fo sho. I honestly think they have the best beef sashimi in town if your down with that. Place can get pretty packed sometimes cause they have live acts come in. FYI if you sit on the side where the live acts perform you actually have to pay an additional fee I think it's like $10. Sit on the sushi bar side instead.
