Top Rope Birria – The Tacos You Wish Were Served Everywhere [REVIEW]

5,000-8,000 hours. That's how long, depending on the region, it takes to become a Red Seal chef. That's 416 12-hour days of training. I can't even commit to the gym for an hour each day but I would if it meant I »

Tenton Ramen and Tonkatsu – West Vancouver [REVIEW]

Stem Japanese Eatery – $143 Kaiseki/Omakase in Burnaby [REVIEW]

It's fun to crawl through the glitz and glam of downtown hubs in the restaurant world, but if you look deep enough, the same kind of prestige can be had in the suburbs often for a better value price. I believe Stem Japanese Eatery [https://stemjapanese.ca/] is »

New Fishport – A Seafood Bistro Lacking True Backbone in Vancouver [REVIEW]

It's kind of crazy to say this but what is going on with the operation of New Fishport [https://newfishport.com/] that they can allow smoking to happen on-premises? It's sad that this overshadowed my food experience but when 20% of my primary senses are clouded, »

Pizza Coming Soon – Throwback Vibes, Fusion Dive in Vancouver [REVIEW]

It's not a dive bar in the sense of being a grimy drinking hole, but Pizza Coming Soon [https://pizzacomingsoon.com/] keeps a lot of the old bones of New Mitzie's Restaurant and re-colours it in a eclectic palette in both vibe and menu as a »
