Dine Out Vancouver comes and goes in a flash because 2 weeks passes by really quickly. The hardest part is choosing a restaurant. Thankfully for me, I had that choice narrowed down to any of the Donnelly Group restaurants, which, to my delight, were not all offering the exact same menu. »
![Sushi Bar Maumi – The Best $75 Omakase in Vancouver [REVIEW]](/content/images/size/w584/2019/12/sushi-bar-maumi-blog.jpg)
It's time for another omakase review on this food blog!

For this encounter, we settled on Sushi Bar Maumi, a restaurant that's known for... »
Locus on Main Street is one of those blink-and-you-miss-it restaurants. It's viewable in plain sight but easily lost amongst the mesh of businesses lining the street. In other words, it's a restaurant you know when you're "in the know", or when... »

Anyone familiar with Tojo's in Vancouver knows that Chef Masayoshi Saba left to form his own restaurant, Masayoshi, in the Fraserhood. As I'm sitting in my hotel room in Tokyo, I can't help but reflect on this dining experience that I paid $120 for back in December 2018. »
