You have a good list there already. The izakaya zone is around the corner...the Guus and Hapa can get boisterous, but Kingyo is fairly tame. Vij’s has a great rep outside this board...some here love it, actually. It’s...

I’d add a couple of Japanese places: Guu w Garlic, Hapa, Kingyo, Zakkushi (and a few others) for izakaya. For Chinese downtown – Kirin, Shanghai Chinese Bistro...if you are willing to cab it, Peaceful Restaurant is a...

>> First, can you indicate where the best Sake selection can be found in Vancouver? Blue Water, Kingyo, En, and Tojo have a great selection. (Nothing like the NYC izakaya, though, but generally good surveys). >> Secondly, what’s...

I agree with kwailan4 that you’d probably want to be wary of long izakaya waits with a toddler. A couple of the izakayas do take reservations, though. I think Kingyo is probably the best option as they take resos, and the...

and try to hit all the spots that I planned for: Motomachi Shokudo, Sun Sui Wah for King Crab, Izakayas (Hapa, Kingyo, Zakkushi, Guu, not sure we’ll be able to do all of these, but we’ll do them in order I guess), Go...

For a very Vancouver experience, go to an izakaya restaurant or do the izakaya crawl along Robson and Denman. Top recs are Guu, Guu with Garlic, Hapa Izakaya, Kingyo. If you are going to only one, go to a Guu. The Pan Pacific is...

it from the level of service and quality of the food and drink. Very classy tail joint staffed by some of the best in town. Closer to your hotel, I’d look at the izakayas on Robson for a fun evening of Japanese small plates...

Euro-Indian: Vij’s Yoshoku-ya: Ping’s, Yoshoku-Ya, Barefoot Kitchen, Hi-Genki (a food court at a Japanese senior’s home) I would consider at least some of the izakaya to serve fusion cuisine: Hapa Izakaya,...

recommended) Dinner – Guu with Garlic/Hapa/Zakkushi/Kingyo (izakaya), La Buca Splurge on Fuel, Gastropod, Chambar, Chow or Boneta...or supersplurge on Parkside, Voya, Diva. Lots to choose from. We can help you narrow it down.

The only one I would steer you away from is Tsunami (which is mediocre sushi at best.). I have not been to Chef and Carpenter or Chau. I’m assuming that you aren’t trying to sit all 30 down all at once.... Let me...

I think no trip to Vancouver is ever complete without a trip to one of the izakayas. Based on your list above, I will recommend Shiru Bay and Kingyo. These are more proper restaurants than say Guu or Zakkushi. You may want to...
