Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, Vancouver, BC

Where? Hokkaido Ramen Santouka on Robson St in Vancouver, BC. I first saw and heard about Hokkaido on January 7th, 2010 when I walked past Guu on Robson and spotted these signs. The entire food universe of Vancouver seemed to go wild in anticipation.. apparently this was a big name in ramen from Japan. I read more »

Kenzo Ramen Japanese Noodles, Toronto, ON

After we ate at Lee, Sally and I walked around. We covered a lot of ground..in the uncomfortable heat that is Toronto’s summer. Walked over to the University of Toronto campus, saw the Toronto cityhall, dropped by her school OCAD, walked through Kensington Market, and finally ended up watching a G20 riot march. If I read more »

Yuji’s Japanese Tapas, Vancouver, BC

Yuji‘s. They don’t have a flashy exterior and they don’t have a very big footprint on West 4th either. They don’t need to because they more than make up for all that with their food! The interior is clean, well furnished and minimalistic. That sort of seems like an oxymoron now that I read it read more »

Miki Japanese Ramen – Chow Times Ramen Event

CLOSED A month ago, Chow Times hosted an event. A ramen event to be specific. These days, Ben & Suanne are hosting and setting up events left and right it’s amazing, it’s like Ben doesn’t have a real day job. This specific event was an exclusive for Chow Times readers and a special menu worth read more »

Torarenbo

My mom and I were hungry after a morning of buying materials at Home Depot so we decided to look for a place for lunch. At first she suggested other places but I nixed them all because 1)I’ve been there 2)I didn’t want the typical HK Cafe “cha chang tings” and 3) I was driving. read more »

Vanya

Ah Vanya.. how you have thwarted me so many times.  From that time last summer when we wanted to dine in your oldschool restaurant but instead were greeted with a closed sign and ended up at Cafe Gloucester instead.. to the multiple Mondays when I would show up, and realize “Oh, I just came a read more »

Tenku Bakudanyaki (Richmond, BC)

I’m supppper late to the tenku party. Everyone’s gone except me. Extensively covered already by other bloggers and hyped about, it’s strange that it’s taken so long for me to try this out. The filling is the same, veggies, octopus, quail egg, etc…..it’s just the sauce and toppings that differs. All of them are $5. read more »

Fumisen (Richmond, BC)

After a bowl of ramen from Shoryumen, it was onto Fumisen for some cones. Customize to your hearts content and choose how big of a cone you want. If you’re indecisive, don’t want to be bothered with being creative, then you can just look to your right for the chef’s personal creations.

Shoryumen (Richmond, BC)

Garrick, a photographer that I met through Xanga [back when it was cool ] came up to Vancouver a couple weeks ago. Along with him for the ride was John, aka Wutuwaitn4. Both are from California, and are real awesome guys. Oh right, and Sean was also with us, but he’s local. Now this wasn’t read more »

MoMo Sushi

Went for lunch with some classmates. I’m currently at VSBM for the Spa Therapy Program. It’s been an awesome experience so far, even though it is pretty intense as it’s 40hr weeks. When I finish at the end of January, I’ll be a certified bodyworker / massage practitioner. From then, I’ll look towards going to read more »
