i went to Kobe steak house yesterday night with my gf.. for our 2 year anni... the food was not bad...i haven't been to a teppanyaki place in so long......for those that dunno.. teppanyaki is those places where they COOOOOK in front of you... and do tricks....

i recommend it to those who don't like to get their hands dirty while eating... everything is chopped up into bite size peices... the portions were very generous... i was too stuffed to have gelato afterwards !!! hahaha

price varies between 30 bucks to 60 bucks a person... we had the kobe special.. which was lobster tails and steak... =) the meal comes with a bowl of rice, soup, veggies, different sauces for different food, some green tea.... =)

they also give you like 30ish bucks off with an entertainment card.. =)

um.. for the single hamsup guys out there.. they have some hot white chicks as hostesses.... u may find them to your liking.... but as for me... i have a gf.. =P hahahaa... and she reads the boards.. lol !

the $30 meal is for usually just a steak or some single chicken dish that is the mid range 30-45'ish. the $60 platter consisted of the lobster tails and the steak.

you can use the coupon card in the entertainment book that comes out every year.

not sure the exact address of kobe steakhouse but it's near the lv store and right in front of the other coach store not the one on granville.
just google kobe steakhouse! haha ; )

[coquette]

it's on alberni and burrard. i worked there a couple of years ago, and i must say that the food is definately not worth it. but you're basically paying for the show. make sure you ask the hostess for the 'more' entertaining chefs. some of them will do a little extra for you entertainment wise. besides the food, it's a good experience, and plenty of eye candy. ;)

PRIMA TASTE

its located on robson close to H mart near seymour street.

Food is delicious and the laksa is to die for. Everything I had tasted great except for the hainese chicken.. it was mediocre.. haha ! =D

chicken skewers with peanut sauce 9/10
laksa 10/10
hainesese chicken 7/10
deep fried banana with vanilla icecream... 9/10.. they gave alot of bananas =-)

all in all.. the above cost around 35 bucks tax and tip included =) very good meal !

[Sweet2L]

Alpha Lounge on ... Richards and Helmcken? Little tucked away Japanese Izakaya restaurant... friend and I ordered a cheap jug and gorged on yummy sushi and tapas that were very decently priced. Smaller place but I really liked the atmosphere and very friendly staff. Will definitely go again. 8.5/10

[ceeteezy]

"may's vietnamese cuisine" on no.3 road located between rush internet cafe and netaholics internet cafe, vietnamese food like no other in vancouver/richmond

[Armind]

"Pho Vinh" extraordinary quality in vietnamese food. Their entire menu is quite delicious, along with their pho and other specialty dishes they have to offer, I am quite eager to try out the rest of their dishes. Parking is easy to find, friendly customer service and a very clean place (compared to other vietnamese restaurants in the city) to dine in Surrey. Located in Surrey, T&T Supermarket or Bubbleworld on 152nd Street. Must try if you're looking for a great meal! :thumbsup:

[ZZT231_R]

I went to Cactus Club on Broadway near Cambie. And Rob Feenie has redone some items on their menu. You guys have to try the Cheddar Burger and the Beef Short Rib dip! Those are amazing...plus their fries is the best ever!

Also if you people partying downtown, there is a chinese restaurant on the corner of Granville Street & Davie Street. Some Hung Tsiang Village or something like that. They have a big countainer for BBQ Pork for $5.95, best BBQ Pork I ever had! So tender and juicy! Amazing...so is their peking duck course for $11! Prices are like WHOA...but food like WOW! Try it!

[slammer111]

Kakurenbou on Jervis just north of Robson. Coworker told me his buddy's dad did the interior decor so I decided to check it out. It's behind Fogg + Suds, and unless u look for it chances are you'll walk right by and not know it exists.

Interior decor reminds me a lot of Chopstick Cafe (ie Imperial Japanese-themed) on Yaletown. Because it's quite low-key, the place had NO lineup, even on a Saturday night. Good for a nice quiet date :)

My guests had the freshly squeezed OJ drink, they literally give you half an orange with a dish to squish the orange into! I thought it was entertaining but my friend was not so impressed, she didn't like literally having to work for her drink.

Can still taste the food, damn. Chopped octopus salad was the shiz. So was the udon. Had about 6 dishes; every single one was very good. (mind you I do have rather low food taste though ;))

The best part though was the dessert. Had the raspberry granite. omg that thing is to die for.

Dinner for 3 came to $75 after tax before tip. Very reasonable, and service was great. I'm gonna come back with more friends.

[TirelessTongue]

Went to Don Francesco on Burrard for lunch today, as it's near my work and I haven't been before. I had the mushroom soup which was OK but nothing special. The veal scallopini, however, was excellent, and one could tell they used decent wine for the sauce (needed more truffle as it wasn't as prominent as should have been for an ingredient that was listed, but that's a minor complaint). For dessert I had a creme brulee which was pretty good, but I can make better at home. The espresso was so so. Their cognac prices are standard, $22 for Hennessy X.O and $150 for the Louis XIII (only had the former as I can't afford a shot for 3 digits LOL). Before tip it came to around $75 for me, which is a bit high for a lunch menu... Three stars out of four, including a small bonus that they changed the music from Aznavour (French singing in Italian restaurant? LOL WTF) when I requested it.

[hamsup]

Trattoria- very good and well priced.. a bit too noisey but I guess alot of newer restaurant these days are packed and loud.. lol ! Had the brushetta sampler.. and also had the pasta sampler platter.. portions were generous...

my favourite item of the night... kobe beef lasagna...

[TirelessTongue]

Kamei Royale--cheap yet very good Japanese. Georgia & Burrard.

[aznangel]

Went to Chambar last weekend, a Belgian restaurant somewhere @ Beatty street.
I had some kind of rabbit meat appetizer, with some kind of grape salad, and pork ribs+shoulder+stomach main dish. while he had a mussel dish which was served directly in a huge pot! The soup was unbelievably fresh and delicious with a slight hint of spice. omg i loooved it. Their fries were also one of the best i've ever tried.
Great ambience and service too!
Bill came up to $80+ with tips and tax included.. little pricy for two people but it's gourmet, it's what we expect. however, definitely one of the most FILLING gourmet i've ever had!

I was at db bistro on Wednesday for a db burger.

A big disappointment the burger lacked seasoning and flavor. Near the end we found ourselves dipping the burger in our poutine gravy. The poutine and
fries were very good.

Cost: $70 for two burgers a poutine and a fry, not worth it but happy to have gotten trying it out of the way.

Joey's on burrard by pender.

Got there around 8 and was seated within 5 minutes. Wasn't expecting much as I heard it was just like earls? Music was a bit loud but tolerable.

Good service, waitress was attentive and checking up enough. Started off with the ginger pork which was a bit too sweet for my liking. Gf had the pesto chicken quesadilla, it was okay but nothing special. I had the Ahi tuna club, seared on the outside of the tuna steak and kept medium rare inside, served on a bun dressed with onion rings and watercress with a salsa. It was good, nothing too exciting though. Both came with thin cut fries, un salted. Gf had a mango burst which is basically a spritzer with fresh fruit of your choice.

After reading mixed reviews of good and bad I'd say its as good as earls but nothing exciting, prices are decent.

7/10 + 1 for all the good looking waitresses.

Will come back for a lunch.

Kyung Bok Goong at lansdowne mall..

5/10... 20 bucks AYCE... not that i was planning to eat myself silly.. but there were so few items.. and the service was incredibly slow... if i am ever there again.. i would order once.. and order large.. we thought we would just try a little bit.. and then re-order.. the re order never happened !!! they didn't give us any service... =*(

Le crocodile on smithe by burrard.

Trying to find a flaw with my visit...the hostess looked a bit intimidating?
Anyway, we were given complimentary shrimp and lobster pastries, quiche like? They were great, soft throughout and crisp on the outside. My girlfriend ordered the escargot with garlic butter, which was recommended by our server, as well as the bone marrow which I had ordered. Both were rich and juicy.

Our mains were the duck with fried foie gras, The duck was tender and cooked medium rare. The liver was succulent and melted on your tongue. I had the double cut veal chop, rich and tender on the bone served with a reduction...which I cant remember. They serve a plate of fries and shoe string fries to compliment the dishes.

You are then given a complimentary pear sorbet to cleanse your palette. For dessert we had the grand mariner souffle, and a pastry ( forget the name) stuffed with ice cream and the server pours hot Belgian chocolate on top in front of you.

Great food, great service, great knowledgeable staff that knows the menu,
a bit pricey, appetizers from 10-25, mains from 27-40, and desserts are all 10.95

Price for 2 was around 145 without tip.

lol! Sounds like my experience 3-4 years ago. Ended up just not tipping cause service was non-existant. I had to go to the cashier myself to pay cause no one was around!

Review of Guildford Sushi House, In Surrey BC:

great food, great service. The waitresses there are decent looking. It's a pretty big place too, with two floors. Seems like it would be a good place to book a party, almost like a VIP section upstairs.

There is even a bar in the restaurant and multiple TVs. The only thing I think they need to improve on is the inner decor because it is a little dull. Plus the menu could be completely redone. All in all, still recommended!

The Eatery on West Broadway

http://www.theeatery.ca/

Went last night at around 8:00 - 8:30 with the gf. We weren't that hungry so we ordered 3 Rolls to share between the two of us. The food took literally 40 minutes, and after about half an hour our waitress felt bad and gave us a complimentary edamame.

There were lots of parking when I went (Saturday evening) right outside the restaurant for free, but unfortunately I did not know that and parked further back where I fed the meter.

Food was pretty good, ambiance was amazing. It was a weird theme of cartoon characters but with the signs "Miso Horny" everywhere, and right outside the washroom the walls are filled with photos with girls in thongs/tight shirts with the writing "Miso Horny". Definitely a must check out.

The price was decent, could be better could be worse, but wasn't too unreasonable. It was about $6 or $6.5 per roll, and each roll had 5 - 7 pieces of sushi on it.

Some waitresses were very "nicely" dressed but I couldn't check them out too much cause I was with the gf LOL.

Total that says on my receipt as I'm looking at it right now is $24.00, and that was for 2 people.

[gomcse2002]

ET Cafe on 920 Kingsway

I went to BT cafe with my wife this afternoon.

I have ordered Mini size baked pork chop with rice, A++, even better than i-cafe.

My wife ordered a HK style break with sunny side up egg plus ham + french toast plus a bowl of preserved vegetables rice noodle. Not bad at all.

Great prices. Good decoration inside, good services from 3 waitresses.

Highly recommendly.

Ba Le, Vietnamese sandwich shop
kingsway and Fraser

-grilled pork sandwich $3.75
Spicy warm meat and fresh crispy bread, so good that I ordered another sandwich...

-beef sandwich $3.50
Not spicy or as tasty, but still good!

-ice & milk coffee $3.25
pre-brewed in a bubble tea cup with ice I felt ripped off because it's nowhere as good as having it drip before your eyes and because it was already cold the ice takes forever to melt!

I recommend takeout unless you want to look like a dork eating out of a plastic bag. I ate in because I had time to kill in the area.

would go again I need to try all of the sandwiches

No review? My gf and I think to go, but we end up at Lao Shan Dong instead.

^The two times i went, it was absolute shit.

Food comes out lukewarm, doesn't taste that great...price is so-so.

Apparently you should stick to the noodle soups (that's what I was told after my experience)....

I'll never go back if I had a choice.

Claypot Hotpot
8291 Alexandra Road #105 Richmond, BC

All you can eat hotpot for like $18, no time limit.
Servers were really nice and helpful. There was a lot of food to choose from and the seafood was very fresh. The broth is $10 for everyone, and they have like 10 choices but i recommended the house special (comes with a free chicken). For $1 each you can have all you can drink (we all got like 4 cans of coke each). Afterward, they give you free jello and coconut pudding. Sooo good! Highly Recommended. Manager is really nice to, came around and talked to us for a bit.

Right on. I went there with my dad today. The broth is wonderful, and the after-taste of the soup isnt as bad as some others. Ordered a number 1, which came with a spring roll, both very good. Highly recommended if you're in Surrey. Around 152nd st and 100th ave, good parking, can also pick up some bubble tea :)

[alanp]

Le Crocodilie- went there today for by bday with my girlfriend. When I made the reservations, I let them know it was for a special occasion and they greeted me with a warm happy birthday. Overall food was great, but I was expecting a little more for the price. I ordered the escargot maison, and it was really amazing. For the entree, I had a medium cooked salmon with veloute sauce, was very delicious, but also very disappointing because I found a large piece of bone... didn't expect that from such a high end restaurant, and when I told the waiter, he didn't really seem to care... he sort of just said "ok" and walked away. When dessert came around, the waitress recommended a peach sorbet, but I'm not exactly sure why she recommended that when our meal came with a small dessert which was also a sorbet, except it was mint flavored.

The meal overall tasted fairly good. Service was so-so, waitress was really friendly but did not check up on us enough. Would go back for special occasions, hopefully receive a little bit better service.

[spoon.ek9]

just noticed this sticky, so i'll post here too:

went to a new restaurant on cambie st today (near 17th)

Noa Pan Asian Bistro

off the top of my head we ordered:

1. deep fried chicken wings with lemon dipping sauce :sweetjesus:
2. beef brisket and tomato noodle soup
3. indonesian chicken fried rice (excellent imo)
4. hot and sour soup

the wings alone are worth the trip to this new place!

nice atmosphere/interior design, good service, decent prices, great food. there's a lot of other food on the menu i'll have to try.

prices: $3-$4 drinks, food $8-$11. the fried rice was enough for 2 people or 2 meals :)

cVAu pgetit cafe on main and 33rd, one of the best pho resturant. Pho and vietnamese subs are the best sellers. Price is decent. It get super pack when it come around lunch time but the wait is quick, food comes out fast, if you are planning to get the subs there, get them before 2 o'clock. The only things that sucks are finding parking and the fact that the restaurant is small.

Went to Pear Tree last night for the first time. I always drive by it and always near it was there but for some reason never went until yesterday.

The place itself is quite small but it's super clean looking and has a nice feel to it, definitelty a good place to be with the girl.

For Apps we ordered the following

Classic Flamed Gin and 'Cascade' Tomato Soup with Chive Whipped Cream
- It was an interesting soup but wasn't our favorite. Taste wise I would say it was a bit lacking in flavor but the soup itself was kind of trippy because there's this jellow like thing in there and the texture mixed with the soup is kind of interesting. We still enjoyed it but it wasn't mind blowing for sure.

Spot Prawn Cappuccino" Spot Prawn Foam with Dashi Custard and Local Spot Prawns
- This was absolutely tasty. The Spot Prawn Foam was very tasty and it had a decent amount of foam + prawns. Knowing we were sharing they split it into 2 for us already instead of having us pass it back and fourth to each other. A simple thoughtful/common sense gesture that unfortunately most places don't have the brains to do.

Entrees

Braised 'Peace River' Lamb Shank Served boneless with Seared Scallops and Roasted Pear Risotto
- Lamb Shank was cooked to perfection, I barely had to use any effort to cut into it as it was so tender that simply taking a fork to it the meat fell off into pieces easily. The scallops were also cooked perfectly and taste great. This was the first time I've had rissotto because it never appealed to me and although it was good I didn't care for it and it just reminded of congee a bit.

Twice Cooked 'Berkshire' Pork Belly With Spot Prawn and Tomato Cassoulet
- My gf ate this and I just took a bite so can't comment too much on it. The one bite I did have the meat was very tender and tasted pretty good but otherwise I can't comment too much.

Overall we loved our experience a lot and have already made reservations to come back in a couple weeks. We also ordered a desert and I had a glass of Wine, total came to $115 before tip.

Here's a quick overall again below

- Awesome location (Burnaby), so glad it's not in Downtown which means easy to find parking and not a super busy area in general vs Downtown, W Broadway etc
- Decor was very clean and simple, nice small place that is a great setting especially with your gf
- Staff was very friendly and the head chef who was the owner even came by personally to check on tables
- Food overall was quite delightful, very delicate, well executed, and presentation was nice
- Super small menu though there's basically 5 apps, 5 entrees, and 5 deserts. Waitress said the core of those meals usually stay the same but what's included on the side will change from season to season. So for example the lamb shank will always be the same but maybe in another season it won't be scallops but something else with it.

Highly recommended

There's a new sushi restaurant in Port Coquitlam called Sushi Kazimato. The owner is a Japanese sushi chef and a friend of mine. I know it's kind of hard to give an unbiased review but I'll try.

Food: Simply oustanding. Fish were fresh and the green tea is authentic and not that watered down version they call it green tea. I had the assorted sashimi and every bite was excellent. No fishy smell at all. I had salmon, sockeye salmon, squid, yellow fin tuna, Octopus, scallop, tobiko with squid ink, prawn. I also ordered the beef sashimi. It was very good. Everything on the menu is made from scratch including the miso soup whereby the brothe was cooked with kelp for a day before miso is added to give it a deeper richer taste. The spicy tuna spicy sauce took 2 days to prepare. It's not the chili sauce out of the bottle like most places.

Atmosphere: It's a small place and the service is good. The entire staff is Japanese. Keith Kazimato is the owner and he used to work at Zen sushi in \west van. The restaurant is tastefully decorated in espresso brown furniture as you hear jazz playing in the background. The atmosphere is fusion. Very nice contemporary atmosphere.

Service: They're still learning to work together smoother so be patient with the service. The food is worth the wait.

If you guys want high price quality food at a reasonable price come check it out. Tell Keith the guy behind the sushi bar that Nam sent you. He'll treat you right.

Address: #2105 2850 Shaughnessy Street Port Coquitlam, BC 604 474-0022
It's beside the old Canadian Tire which is now closed.

So is the place called Sushi Kamizato, or Sushi Kazimato?

At Hyoga Japanese Cuisine. So far, very good. Tempura sauce is home made and very refined. The chicken karaage is subtle and not over the top like most places these days. Miso shiru is outstanding. Base is very flavourful. Had the Saba Shiso Ume roll. Nicely done. I'm not a fan of saba, but it was delicious. Gyoza is also top notch with great sauce.

Udon was also nicely done. Tuna don rice was a little too flavourful for my liking. I asked for plain rice, but I guess server didn't understand what I wanted. I should have just got bowl of rice then maguro. Waiting on okonomiyaki.

Edit: just got the okonomiyaki. Damn good, complete with dancing katsuo. And the desert. Kinako on croissant pudding. WOW!

Solid 8/10.

Okay, 9/10..........

At Hyoga Japanese Cuisine. So far, very good. Tempura sauce is home made and very refined. The chicken karaage is subtle and not over the top like most places these days. Miso shiru is outstanding. Base is very flavourful. Had the Saba Shiso Ume roll. Nicely done. I'm not a fan of saba, but it was delicious. Gyoza is also top notch with great sauce.

Udon was also nicely done. Tuna don rice was a little too flavourful for my liking. I asked for plain rice, but I guess server didn't understand what I wanted. I should have just got bowl of rice then maguro. Waiting on okonomiyaki.

Edit: just got the okonomiyaki. Damn good, complete with dancing katsuo. And the desert. Kinako on croissant pudding. WOW!

Solid 8/10.

Okay, 9/10..........

How are the portions compared to price? Decent size?

[MG1]

No, it's definitely not Sushi Garden. It's what it's supposed to be. Authentic in every way. Owned by Japanese people, BTW. You pay for good quality. It is a tad bit on the expensive side, but not bad. If anything, just go for the okonomiyaki. Not Osaka style, which is my favourite, but Em Gee Juan approved nonetheless, LOL.

[Inaii]

Do you happen to recall if they do take out? The place looks very small and busy (and I live like 5 minutes away lol). I was talking to Raid3n about it earlier and we thought it was pretty inexpensive lol.

[MG1]

Yes, it looked like they did the take out thing. BTW, Japanese food should never be take out, unless bento.

If you're going to take out, might as well do the Sushi Garden thing.......... 'cause you know....... KimLan soy sauce is ichiban with your sushi.........

[Inaii]

Gotcha, thanks MG :)

:suspicious: you moved in to ma hood? i haven't heard any braps or biplanes in the area...

yes they do take out. i was there yesterday and saw people taking out. was "packed" the place is small (like 7-8 tables) and i had to wait like 10 min and was told sushi would take 30min longer b/c the kitchen was swamped.

waitress very respectful and apologetic as expected and the udon was 'clean' not over oily or greasy. i enjoyed the soup base. disappointed they didn't serve alcohol though was feelin' a beer but oh well.

Happy Cafe on Kingsway and Joyce.

3/10

Got there and was given a seat at the center, a long stretch of single seats, like a bar. Nobody brought me the tea or menu for at least 10 minutes. It's understandable cause the lady put me at the very end, blocked by a pillar. But the lady herself should have brought me tea and menu. Wasn't that busy neither.

Ordered "signature" baked pork chop rice, +$1.50 for cold drink. Drink came in a bubble tea form cup, top sealed. Ice nearly melted all the way. Drink was in between hot and warm. So I just paid an extra $1.50 for a cooled hot drink.

The spoon and fork they gave me still has white film on it, as if after washing, they left it to dry. Asked for hot tea and cleaned it myself.

The rice came and I was shocked that they were selling that for $9.75. The taste is up to par for a cafe though, but the portion was not worth $9.75. If anyone had baked pork chop rice at Golden Oscars, $11.50, they give you two - three pork chops. Here, it was literally half a pork chop, cut into five pieces.

Never going back again.

Planning to go to Sushi Kamizato tomorrow..

Has anyone tried the baked chicken restaurant on main and Marine yet?

Jambo Grill

8/10.

The flavours are good. I shared a platter with a friend and it had the ribs/chicken pieces/sausage thing/fries. Overall, good.

The prime minister has been there.

Only thing is, tad more on the pricier side. Would I go again? Maybe if I felt like splurging a bit.

8/10 - Sweet Memories (Leslie Rd, Richmond)

I feel like I would regret this because I'm selfish and I like my little spots, but it's getting popular, so why not.

Sweet Memories is opened by the same owners of Memory Corner, hence the similarity in the name. Even the atmosphere and decor seems similar with the same (creepy) traditional Taiwanese dolls. From what I hear from my Taiwanese friends, it reminds them of home.

Sweet Memories is firstly a dessert place. They serve grass jelly pudding and my all-time favorite, tofu pudding (dofu-fa in canto). Iirc it was about $5.99 for their fairly large bowl (one size) of dessert.

They always serve you with cold wintermelon tea, which is delicious, instead of the normal tea that other places serve you.

As for dinner options, you have the choice of mixed vegetables (I never would have imagined raikon to taste so good), Taiwanese meat sauce on rice, or this other dish on rice. The Taiwanese meat sauce is a decently large serving, that may give you food coma when paired with tofu pudding. Plus, it's only ~ $5

Lately, I've actually been quite disappointed in Richmond's tofu desserts. I've had the traditional hk style tofu place next to Li Do, but the quality has surely deteriorated to garbage. If you have a tofu pudding craving, Sweet Memories will satisfy that. I'd recommend the red bean and barley toppings.

WTH happened to this thread?

Anyway, I went to Mogu on the Drive. My children told me about them opening up, so I gave it a go last night.

BTW, they sold their food truck in March. So, if you miss their karaage, they're at a permanent site now. Yay!

For the time being (soft opening, I guess), they are only open from 5:00 pm till 9:00 Tuesday to Thursday and 5:00 - 10:00 other days, except closed on Mondays.

Starting next week, they are hoping to open for lunch.

I did the take out thing, but they do have booths with temporary partitioning and some space in between.

Anyway, it's my favourite place to get fried chicken. High Five, which is now in my Neighbourhood on Hastings near Holdom, is my second favourite place to get some flied clucks. BTW, High Five participate in the AMEX 5 back on 10 bucks thing.


Forgot........... Mogu is across from Choices on the Drive. I give it 8.97/10. It was a little off. Probably working out some kinks. Don't think they've been open that long. I always ask for the sauce on the side. That way, I can test the chicken naked to see how well it is made. Besides, I like to dip dat shit, mang. With the sauce, it's probably 9.5+/10, gulolol.

people are tired and bored of typingg... everyone is just going to IG shit... long gone are good reviews as people can't read shit.

Fried chicken is good, just not major fan of deep fried and then toss in shitty ass sauce making the chicken soggy. Will give it a try.

[MG1]

Definitely not soggy. Tender as it gets inside with uber crispy skin.


EDIT: Just checked my AMEX account and it looks like Mogu is part of the American Express Small Shop promo. I just received 5 dollar credit.

A Pho Tam branch opened in Langley. Exactly the same goodness as the Surrey branch. Same portions, and was still good delivered to work.
