Anyone know any good places to eat if your in East Van?

Right now I'm around the Gladstone Secondary area.

Places on kingsway? commercial drive? Main or Fraser St.? I'm open to anything:

Greek,
Pho,
Sushi,
Indian,
Burgers,
anything that isn't too expensive.

[rouentahl]

Starting off with Vietnamese:
Pho Thai Hoa
Hai Phong
Petit Cafe

[RFlush]

Bons

[SpuGen]

Song Houong

1st and Nanaimo. It's on Nanimo facing 7-11.

Get the Bun Bo Hue.

[twitchyzero]

pho bitch negga

[SeanJohn]

^^^ are they even in business anymore?

i know everyone thought it was a cool name and all but that doesnt make up for the fact that the food sucked.

[Vansterdam]

they switched owners at least 5-6 times within the last 4-5 years or so.

i heard a couple of them had growops at the back or some shit lol

[iEatClams]

fck it's so hard to find places in this area because so many of them look soo shady on the outside so you don't want to go in and test it out.

I remembered 2 years ago or something I was gonna try this place on kingsway and when i went in the guys there were like: "sorry we all out". I'm like WTF? this was 1 PM. how do you stay in business if you sold out by 1 pm.

above poster:
I heard Bons is good for the breakfast but the wait is super long?

I tried the restaurant that's now there two weeks ago, where pho bich nga use to be: the lemon grass chicken was okay. but the place looks soo shady like most places in these areas. Plus some dudes were smoking in the place. PS, me and my friends were the only customers besides the gangsta looking dudes that were smoking.

bao chao for pho/spring rolls
samosa garden

lao shang dong
Ramie's greek taverna

Pho Bich Nga has been gone for like at least five years, I think... there's been at least two joints there since then.

[keifun]

+1 for Honolulu Cafe on Main St. I *heart* their breakfast there. Cheap too. For $5.50 plus tax. It fills you up good!

[winson604]

^^
Agreed that their breakfast deal is good. I mean come on chinese toast (si daw si) w/ eggs and sausage + satay beef instant noodles + cold drink for $5.50 score!

However, last time I went and a rat fell from the ceiling I stopped going.

[Ikkaku]

si daw si is actually french toast, not chinese toast :lol

Marcellos on commercial drive is pretty decent

La Grotta Del Formaggio on commercial drive as well

[Hot Karl]

dona cata is really good and a great deal. i need to be absolutely fried to finish $10 worth of tacos.

first time i went, the 10 salsas were in random order. yah it was pretty hilarious after my mouth stopped burning.
"so if the 2 on the far left are hot, that means the ones on the right are less hot...oh fuck this is even hotter"

[Bonka]

I forgot Argo Cafe and Save-On Meats :)

[bcrdukes]

[skyxx]

Oh shiet, Phnom Penh. I haven't been there for about 2 years. I still remember going there quite often for their fried chicken!!!!!! I believe they changed owners. Not sure if the food is still good.

[asahai69]

^ i was there yesterday. i loved it

[Bonka]

Is it Agro or Argo Cafe?

Argo Cafe on Ontario just before 2nd Ave, it has the colourful murals outside. Simple, no nonsense and inexpensive :)

[Durrann1984]

[bd0n]

les faux borgeouis(french) au petit chavingol(cheese and charcutrie) and campangolo(italian) i kno i spelled all of em horribly bad but its close lol

[bcrdukes]

Les Faux Bourgeois is great for French. Good good. Good service (without the attitude) that doesn't hurt the wallet.

"Grub" is also a good place for food.

[goo3]

[Durrann1984]

Son, WTF is wrong with you? Stephos? If I were your Greek father, I'd slap you silly up the head!

but dont wanna head to dt with all that traffic and parking etc

Try Troccadero's just off East Broadway on Nanaimo. There is a parking lot in the back and street parking as well. If you park in the back, keep your reciept and they will reimburse you for parking! :)

Make sure you get reservations for Les Faux Bourgeois because that place is always packed. Awesome date spot and the food is delicious. The duck confit is :thumbsup:

What does Argo's Cafe serve?

Or is it like an HK style place?

[bcrdukes]

^
It's really just a coffee shop that sells soups, sandwiches, pastries etc. but definitely not HK style. :p

[Vansterdam]

Blah! That place is disgusting!
