  Kingyo

  03.06.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By Jonathan

  Kingyo occupies the higher end of the Vancouver izakaya scene and its chef has almost rock star status, known for wearing a playful face mask while cooking for a crowd. The interior has a lot of quirky detail, bamboo and textures. I don’t know why it took me so long to try it, but once [...]

  08.10.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  So, after reading a glowing review in Vitamin V, and being awfully curious about the gutsy restaurant that shuns a storefront, I finally dined at Main Street’s new Ping’s Café this past weekend.

  The city’s best street meat: Japa dog

  05.23.08 | Permalink | Comment? | By

  It’s one of those things that you’d never think of yourself but once someone else mentions it, you’re totally hooked on the thought: Japanese-themed hot dogs. To which your taste buds reply: !!!
  They come in several variations. And they’re all worth a shot. To each his own (Anthony Bourdain had a terimayo and miso mayo; [...]
