Looking for some neat food places to hit up; like those kinds of small, one-off, family owned hole-in-the wall restaurants with great food.

We went to Jamaican Pizza Jerk on Commercial Dr. last week and it was great. $45 we got a large pizza with jamaican jerk chicken and fresh tomatoes, goat curry, jerk chicken and fish roti.

Thanks

there are tons of hole in the wall.
chinatown, there are a few '# 9 type restaurants' that are freaking awesomeness to the max. their noodles are great.

the only = best hold in the wall place. they were shut down few weeks ago, not sure if it's opened again.

[b-dub]

I thought you were talking about a restaurant with a glory hole for a sec LOL.

[madddskillz]

There's a good donair place on commerical that has these giant donairs.

I think it's like 2 for $7 or something. If u eat 2 you would be really really full.

There's a Chinese restaurant with a British sounding name (Thomas? Thompson?) by the Save on Foods on #3. Pretty good.

Hiroshi's Sushi Creations on Oak st & 22nd or 19th ave. Former owner of Kokoro on Lonsdale.

Do you know if they just serve the jerk chicken? I've always wanted to try it.

My cousin mentioned a malay place on Main, Hawkers Delight. I've never been there myself but I heard it was alright.

Yeah they do, but when I had it it wasn't very impressive. Kind of dry and not spicy enough; perhaps the chef (Bounty Hunta) turned down the spice seeing a brown, chinese and russian guy come in.

Thanks for the suggestions, we've found a few that look quite interesting:

Big Al's Soul Food in Bennett Center has Louisiana Cuisine and a buffet Friday nights. Too bad it's closed for Good Friday!

Don Guacamoles on Robson, apparently it's authentic Mexican and lots of real Mexicans in Vancouver go there regularly.

[HOTSHOTKEN]

Hawker's Delight sucks ... avoid

[Farfetched]

Hawker's Delight is what it is. Decent food on the cheap.

Brave Bull's Steak is the name

Joyeux Cafe
Awesome lunch joint if you work in downtown.
http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=3299

Serves mainly Vietnamese food around $7-8. That's a steal considering the area.

[Cman333]

Argo Cafe. Main and 2nd area. Low price, but high quality food. Only opened for breakfast + lunch. Food is amazing. Menu is different everyday. Usually super packed at lunch. Looks like a dump from the outside. Almost makes you think you're at the wrong place. Once you sit down and eat it's a whole new story.

[Durrann1984]

^^ damn only opened for breakfast and lunch??

[taylor192]

Deacon's corner, north end of Main street, right before the shipping port.

BIG breakfast, great prices, and coffee is included in the price.

I had the sausage, biscuits and gravy... almost had a heart attack and was stuffed for the rest of the day.... for < $10. Sooooo good.

how is this a hole in the wall.. it looks so damn nice inside and out !?!?!

"Hole in the wall" doesn't necessarily mean a dirty place. The way I see it, it's a simple, authentic, unpretentious place that is not very well known.

osaka today on blundell and 2 road right?

im a regular there.

good dynamite rolls... cheap too.

[Durrann1984]

(agreed with sonick)

how is this a hole in the wall.. it looks so damn nice inside and out !?!?!

so ur definition of a hole in the wall is the decor ?

i thot it was mainly about the food

and that not a lot of ppl tried that place out...and just walk/drive by it without realli noticing it


so i assume all the high class restaurants are considered hole in the wall for u? haha

[hamsup]

To me.. a HOLE IN THE WALL RESTAURANT --> Food speaks for the restaurants reputation..

no need for advertisements everywhere, hot waitresses, stupid gimicks, and posh decor.

I would say modern club, honolulu cafe, au petit cafe, cafe delight.. etc....

yea theyre damn good

the ultimate hole in the wall place: roundup cafe in whalley, surrey

best burger ive ever had.

[Ikkaku]

I personally like Fresgo Inn in Surrey. Not sure if it's what people would normally call a hole in the wall restaraunt, but I've been going to that place since I was really young, when it still had a location in Downtown.

I love the double mushroom burger. They also have ribs and chicken, served with a plate of spaghetti. Good value imo.

Sweet... I think I'll swing by Argo Cafe saturday morning with the gf for breakfast, then swiss bakery and pick up a baguette, then at night friends and I are planning on hitting up Hawker's Cafe.

[chinesespareribs]

[hamsup]
