Just got back from Vancouver and here is my impression of five places I tried with a friend. hapa izakaya at 1479 Robson Street is a MUST GO TO restaurant. We were given it by our waitress at Bin 941 which was very good but it has...

For “fine dining” and "bistro" West, Rare, Blue Water, Chambar, Elixir, Aurora are good choices. For Asian: Hapa Izakaya, Kingyo Izakaya, Kirin, Tojo’s, Sun Sui Wah are solid. If I were to narrow it down to just...

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).

Robson and Denman St is izakaya central – If you are into Japanese food – I recommend Kingyo or Hapa Izakaya. If you prefer a more “businessy” supper with a safe menu – then Cardero’s which is...

I would do a Gastown crawl one evening: Chambar (close to Gastown), Boneta, Salt, Cobre, Chill Winston — then an Izakaya crawl another: Guu, Gyoza King, Hapa, Zakkushi, Kingyo. Both crawls are quite walkable. >>Other items on...
