Nor Boo Korean, Robson Street, Vancouver

After taking in a healthy dose of sun, Stanley Park Brewery beer and music, Daniel Stef and I met up with Jeff and Caitlin for dinner. We were all hungry, but none of us wanted to pay festival prices for the food at Summer Live, so I suggested we try out Gyoza King. No dice.. read more »

“the kitchen” in Kerrisdale

I was on my way to get a haircut from Mentor Hair Salon when I saw this restaurant. Since I had come from school, I had a little lunch but was still feeling hungry, so thought about dropping by after. When I entered, I was greeted to the sounds of Korean coming from three older read more »

Ap Gu Jung Korean, 1642 Robson Street, Vancouver

Being a part of the Vancouver Dodgeball League as an executive has allowed me to make tons of new friends, play intense dodgeball, partake in beer fueled pub nights and bring Vancouver the original and best dodgeball possible, has been a great experience so far.  The 5 year old league is a non-profit organization, which read more »

Ddoo Gau Bee, Coquitlam, BC

When? September 8th, a week after I arrived back home in Vancouver. I have a lot of images from my Asia trip, but I won’t be posting anything yet, because I want to get things organized and post in a way that makes sense. You can look forward to reading about Taiwan, Boracay, Shanghai AND read more »

Pork Belly Beer House on Bidwell and Robson, Vancouver

SAMGYEOPSAL! SAMGYEOPSAL! SAMGYEOPSAL! Yes, I’m that excited about this restaurant. This hole in the wall restaurant is truly a gem, and if it weren’t for Chowtimes.. well I would never have known. So the night before I was to fly out to Toronto for work, we had a total guys day. We spent an afternoon read more »

Wang Ga Ma Restaurant – Coquitlam, BC

At the insistence of Libbie, we ventured out to Coquitlam for some food.  I was yearning for some seolleongtang and I already had a restaurant in mind, someplace that I haven’t made a return visit to in a long long time. Wang Ga Ma is located in the same plaza as the big Han Ah read more »

Seoul Doogbaegi (Windsor & Kingsway, Vancouver)

I seem to be on a Korean cuisine binge as of late. Well okay, the last two were Korean establishments (Honey’s Bistro & Borandsi Cafe) so it’s hardly a binge, but still, 3 in a row straight is a bit. Both my visits to Honey’s and Seoul Doogbaegi are directly influenced by Foodosphy (see his read more »

Borandsi Cafe, Coquitlam, BC

My night didn’t end at Honey’s Bistro as I had specifically requested that Julia bring me to this dessert place. She posted up pictures of this insanely delicious looking icy plate/icy flakes and I had never seen anything like it, especially the way it was presented. Who cares if it’s early January, I want my read more »

Honey’s Bistro – Coquitlam, BC

Originally we were supposed to go to Mexican Chicken Hof, as it was the only thing that I knew about Korean Chicken Wings thanks to Foodosophy. After calling up a few friends, we made our way there. It was dark, rainy and we went up and down North Rd. many times trying to find the read more »

Bool Chul Pan Korean Hot Grill

Chowtimes posted about this vaguely named Korean restaurant in September, but I couldn’t go try it out quite as soon as I wanted because of my wisdom teeth. So, I decided to make it a event, and extended the invite out to my fans on Facebook.  I did send out email invitations to the other read more »
