![Kaneko Hannosuke – The OG Tendon Import Job in Vancouver [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2022/05/kaneko-hannosuke-premium-tempura-2.jpg)
Lines were out the door when this place first opened, and while the queue has changed, the amazing food and interior remains the same. Heck, maybe the greatest thing about this place is the service. Kaneko Hannosuke [https://www.instagram.com/kanekohannosuke.vancouver/?hl=en] is the real deal and »
![Hanai – Casual Hawaiian Elevated Higher in Dollars than Experience [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2022/04/hanai-inside-2.jpg)
This is going to be one of those posts where I get angry messages from the business or its fans. I went to one of the hippest restaurant openings in Hanai [https://hanaivancouver.com/] and sadly can't get myself to imagine going again. Coming from a background where »
![Top Rope Birria – The Tacos You Wish Were Served Everywhere [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2022/03/top-rope-birria-taco-cheese-skirt.jpg)
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 »
![Stem Japanese Eatery – $143 Kaiseki/Omakase in Burnaby [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/12/stem-japanese-eatery-tome-nigiri-1.jpg)
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]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/12/new-fishport-seafood-bistro-soy-chicken.jpg)
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, »
![Chef's Choice – Sophisticated Chinese Cuisine in Vancouver [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/11/chefs-choice-06.jpg)
I'm not one to frequent a lot of Chinese restaurants but I savour every chance I get. I had the chance to dine at Chef's Choice [https://www.instagram.com/chefschoice1198/?hl=en] on a fellow food blogger's recommendation and this experience was very »
![Pizza Coming Soon – Throwback Vibes, Fusion Dive in Vancouver [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/11/pizza-coming-soon-katsu-sando.JPG)
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 »
![Chupito – Back Alley Mexican Cocktails in Vancouver [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/10/chupito-inside-2.jpg)
Its entrance is literally in the alleyway behind the parent business! I don't know why it took so long for this business to spring up in La Taqueria's backyard but Chupito [https://www.chupito.ca/] takes the "back door" experience of Tacofino to a »
![VV Tapas Lounge and VV's Niche – a 2-in-1 Wine-Forward Experience [OVERVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2021/09/vv-tapas-lounge-charcuterie-1.jpg)
There aren't many restaurants as wine-forward as VV Tapas Lounge [https://www.vvtapaslounge.com/] in Vancouver. There are plenty of wine bars but with a worthy food menu. Grapes and Soda in South Granville comes to mind with a smaller food menu, and L'Ufficio doesn' »
