Chupito – Back Alley Mexican Cocktails in Vancouver [REVIEW]

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]

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' »

Tetsu Sushi Bar – $150 Omakase for Elevated Fish and Seafood in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Amongst cuisines that are staples for entry-level restaurant dining, Japanese food covers a huge range as far as how extreme pricing can go. Sushi can cost a lot. The highest level of sushi is usually done in the form of "omakase", literally meaning "to entrust", and, »

Tendon Kohaku – Premium Tempura and Rice Bowls in Metro Vancouver [REVIEW]

First off, it's pronounced "ten-don" as in "donburi" without the "buri". Tendon Kohaku [http://www.kohakutendon.com/] is a 2021 gem that's opened 2 locations in Vancouver and Burnaby and they're taking the donburi game by storm. You& »

Sushi Tree – Inari-Wrapped Sushi in Coquitlam [REVIEW]

Enter Sushi Tree, which opened last month within Henderson Mall in Coquitlam. This takeout-only counter serves sushi as I've never experienced before – it's maki wrapped with inari (tofu) instead of seaweed! »

Uncle's Snack Shop: A New School Cool in Richmond [REVIEW]

Founded by a group of people closer to the Vancouver food scene than you think, this eatery hits on all fronts in creativity and design with the result being a fun atmosphere that brings out impactful flavour and an existential energy I haven't yet felt in Metro Vancouver. »

Between 2 Buns: An Art of a Burger Practice in Vancouver [REVIEW]

On some menus, the burger exists so unadventurous fools can order something they are familiar with. Some of those menus might have enough clout to tout a burger but most of those burgers exist simply as a requirement for the menu. »

Nicli Antica Pizzeria: Cut-Your-Own Pizza in a Pandemic-Friendly Parking Lot [OVERVIEW]

Vancouver is beautiful when it's sunny, and outside is where I found myself with a seat at Nicli's backyard parking lot, now converted into a 40-seater patio adorned with all the reminders of Aperol Spritz a guy hungry for pizza needs in his life. »

Ramen Koika – Housemade Noodles and the New Summer Menu [OVERVIEW]

As a born and bred citizen of Vancouver, I don't really know a life of extreme climate and wince when I look at a thermostat reading higher than 25°C. It might be for that reason that I consider ramen to be a year-round food rather than seasonal. »

Cold Tea – Judgement-free Chinese and Vietnamese Fare in Vancouver [OVERVIEW]

Maybe you've been in this next situation. You love Chinese food but get a little nervous trying to order it because a) you're Chinese but don't speak Chinese well enough to order with confidence in Chinese, or... »

Oca Pastificio – A Pure Pasta Haven in Vancouver [REVIEW]

I love Italian food, don't get me wrong. I love pasta and pretty much all carbs. I also love La Quercia and their tasting menu which constantly changes. It was painful to come to this conclusion that I'm just not the right type of audience for Oca Pastificio. »
