So, we’ve read the press, but we’re looking for the best. Traveling from San Francisco to Vancouver(seemingly a popular food migration) ...heard/read about West, Kirin (Richmond), Hapa Izakaya, Rodney’s (for...

For interesting Asian, try Hapa Izakaya on Robson Street. Izakaya-style or Japanese small-plates dining has been extremely popular in Vancouver over the past few years, and Hapa would be my first choice. Then there’s the...

, just off denman. walking distance from pinnacle or a short cab ride http://www.parksiderestaurant.ca/ TapasTree is a nice neighbourhood restaurant or Hapa Izakaya on Robson for yummy japanese

a multitude of Japanese and Korean izakaya. That scene begins hopping around 7pm. I highly recommend it. Do a search on this board for my Google map posting on Vancouver Izakaya. I recommend Kingyo, Hapa, and the two Guus as a...

Here are some that come to mind — some are solely sushi, others are tapas and offer some sashimi/sushi: Ajisai in Kerrisdale (behind London Drugs) Yuji’s Tapas on West 4th Ave Hapa Izakaya on Robson St Shirubay in...

You are in a good spot for Japanese and Korean...the best three ramen joints in the city are located neat the cornder of Robson and Denman. Then there are all the izakaya - Hapa, Kingyo, Zakkushi (a kushiyaki).

I’m happy with Gold/Silver/Bronze for the Casual Japanese awards (Kingyo/Zest/Lime respectively)... but honourable mention went to "Hapa for introducing the city to the izakaya experience." Hasn’t the original Guu been...

There a number of places near Canada Place...head towards Robson and Denman for Japanese food central. I have taken my kids (granted they were older – 6 and 8 the first time) at Hapa Izakaya, for example. Not a sushi place...

hapa izakaya i think would match your description. be sure to make reservations though. and pearl castle in richmond for bubble tea!

kirin for chinese(alberni st) and parkside(haro st) for a nice meal – don’t bother with joe fortes or anything along robson until you get to the japanese restaurants (gyoza king, hapa izakaya) closer to denman –...

Bin 941 or Hapa Izakaya. The scallops wrapped in bacon was a great example of simple food done badly. The scallop was undercooked, slimey and tasteless and the bacon was also not cooked properly making the texture pretty nasty....

I highly recommend Hapa Izakaya. 1479 Robson St. (at Nicola) 604-689-4272 There are too many others to list. Dine Out Vancouver is taking place at this time and securing reservations at your usual haunts (West, Bluewater, etc.)...

bar @ Blue Water, OR try one izakaya (Hapa, Guu, Gyoza King, or Kingyo). I love seafood and we live in the SF bay area (Napa) but don’t get it too often since husband doesn’t partake; that being said, I’ve never...

Guu (all of them) might be too small for that group. If izakaya is the desired theme, then Hapa Izakaya will have room on the lounge (left) side of the restaurant.
