Crack On Food Truck – Mobile Sandwich Comfort [REVIEW]

As we continue our journey through the global pandemic, news of brand new eateries gets me excited for when it'll be acceptable to dine in restaurants with whoever I want. In the meantime, as exciting as takeout can be, I feel it doesn't do justice for the whole restaurant experience...

BRGR BRGR – Fresh Burgers with Local Ingredients [REVIEW]

Sometimes, simple is just enough. I might be in the minority when I say this, but I love burgers. I love that a concept of bun, patty, and the usual condiments can either be enjoyed in the classic formula or with some extra zig.

Downlow Chicken Shack – Next Level Takeout in Vancouver [REVIEW]

Dining in the new normal has been interesting, to say the least. Anecdotal reports of restaurants allegedly failing to enforce social distancing fill up Reddit, contact tracing is the latest to hit Earls in Port Coquitlam, and these are the cases the public currently knows about.

Yue Restaurant – Traditional Dim Sum with a Modern Flair in Richmond [REVIEW]

When you've been to one dim sum restaurant, it can feel like you've been to them all. It takes a lot of distinction for a dim sum experience to stand out to me because I'm as basic as it gets. I'm a fan of shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, rice rolls, and don't need much more to yum cha successfully.

With Vancouver's plentiful options for noodles, I was happy to see a brand new type of noodle enter the dining scene in Vancouver. Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba, a concept first opened in 2013 in Japan, has expanded to North America in 2018 with its first location stationed in Vancouver.

Poké Bar – Highly-Accessible Poke in New Westminster [OVERVIEW]

Remember at the end of 2016 when poke seemed to explode all over Vancouver? Known for its pedigree as a healthier lunch option, poke's existed in the United States for a few years now and a few franchises have expanded north, Poké Bar being one of them.

Win Win Chick-N – Fried Chicken in Steveston [OVERVIEW]

Metro Vancouver is really good at filling food niches in its various neighbourhoods. Though this has been a long time coming, the timing couldn't be better as 2018 takes credit for 3 fried chicken openings and now Richmond's Steveston neighbourhood has Win Win Chick-N to call its own.
