TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS absolutely loves this place!…read more After searching for the best Tiki Bar in Vancouver (what???), I absolutely had to leave the family at the airport hotel to check this place out. As Son of TIKI DAVE would say, I didn't need to go, but I wanted to go. Yes, yes, Alec, I wanted to go. And the reviews lived up to the hype. What a wonderful spot halfway between the airport and downtown. I left it up to the bartenders to choose my drinks... Against my better judgment, I went with the bartender's recommendation to try the Painkiller because they touted it better than the Soggy Dollar Bar in the BVI. Well, I've been to the BVI but never the Soggy Dollar Bar...yeah, I know. But this drink, that I would normally think too sweet for my taste, was amazing. Now, I have to go to the freakin' Soggy Dollar Bar to compare but I'd bet this one was better. For my second, I again, left it up to the knowledgeable bartender to guide me the way. And he served me up with this perfectly amazing and glowy amazingness that is the Rememberer? Which is off menu. It was amazing. And did I mention it glowed? Ambience and service is amazing. I showed up on a Saturday night at 10 and I was worried after reading about it that I'd have trouble getting in but it wasn't a problem at all.

The best tiki bar in town, hands down. I've been here many times, and it's always packed on summer…read moreevenings, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The cocktails are generally on the sweeter side, but they're also surprisingly strong. We ordered the Zombie (3 oz), and there's a reason it's limited to two per guest. It tasted sweet and tropical, but it definitely sneaks up on you and can get you tipsy pretty quickly. The drink prices are quite reasonable, especially compared to the food. While the food is decent, I'd say the cocktails are the real highlight here. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and full of tropical vibes, come for the drinks and the atmosphere rather than the food.

We got to tru a few stalls and i…read morewas highly impressed heres the full review. * Dino flying cup noodles ($20) ~ the noodles were nice and seasoned and super cool for presentation. The dino rib was tender and soft and the meat slides right off the bone, the egg was a nice touch. Id honestly get it again for the presentation and dino rib. 7/10. * Ramen donut ($10) with kimchi (+$2) ~ this was super crispy and cheesy the kimchi added a nice flavour and spice to it. If your a fan of cheesy ramen noodles then this might be for you to try! 6/10. * Sweet chilli & mayo on a stick ($16) ~ it was crispy and tender and the chicken was juicy. I really liked the combo of the sweet chilli and mayo. Not to mention this was huge! 7/10. * Dynamite Sushi hot dog ($18) ~ this was insanly huge! And it was so crispy and flavourful i loved the crunchy exterior and the crab meat. The spicy mayo was also a nice touch of spice to it. Its huge though i recommend to share as it can he heavy! 7.5/10. * Overall pt.1 was a success it was all delicious and yummy. I cant wait for more of this night market series and to share all the goodies with you all!

I didn't expect to find much good quality food at SFU, but I was wrong. You just need to walk…read morearound for a bit. This 4 seat poké bar was better than I hoped for. I made my own bowl, which is always a lot of fun. First time I've had quinoa as a base, but let's give it a go! I think I went for most of the items, except for the ones where you had to pay extra. The tuna I got was fresh, as were the other ingredients. I went wild on adding sauces at the end. I designed a great concoction. I didn't get a seat at 3pm on a Thursday, so I had to walk back to campus to eat it. A quick thing I learned the hard way, if you want quinoa, use a spoon. Overall, friendliest staff I've met on campus, delicious choices, and quick service.

This week's delivery of choice: Steve's Poké Bar! Way back…read morebefore COVID was in existence, my coworkers and I would grab poke pretty frequently from Steve's Poké Bar for lunch at Lougheed. We all loved having this as a lunch option because it's, well, relatively more nutritious and clean than say, burgers or fried Vietnamese spring rolls. So, my bro and I decided to give the SFU location a try and waiting in steady anticipation for our custom poke bowls. The food came relatively quickly and the portions are still quite generous but...the sauce department was lacking. We both felt like there wasn't enough flavour to the poke, and the plain white rice was starting to overtake the delicious toppings. It was a bit different from my past experiences with the Lougheed location. Anyways, still got my poke fix, though I may lean towards trying Pokey Okey more next time haha

We had a reservation early evening and when we arrived were promptly greeted by a server. She…read moreseated is and gave us menus and informed us of any special items they had atm. She then left to let us peruse the menu. We took awhile to look so we were asked at once point if we were ready and we sis we needed a bit more time so the server was delightfully accommodating and said whenever we were ready to give a server a call. Later on when we were ready our order was taken by a male staff member. We ordered a decent amount. Miso cheese eggplant, chawan-mushi, fried fish collar served in some kind of broth, 8pc nigiri omakase, blue fin tuna&uni hand cone, another hand cone but I can't remember what was in it..wifey ordered it, vegetable tempura and a black truffle dynamite roll. The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

We love the food. Gohan and the miso eggplant were our favorite; the kids menu is a boon too.read more

They make the onigiri fresh so it does take a bit of time since there were only 2 people both making and taking orders but they have a bunch of flavours; I'd recommend the salmon one which was well seasoned and I preferred it to the spicy shrimp one. Affordable pricing though the portions are adjusted to make up for that: the chicken karaage combo was around 11-12$ and came with a small salad, rice and chicken.

Yelpies remember this is a food truck so it's rotating all over town weekly. I got to experience it down here at Joyce Skytrain Station.

The Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Fries was one of a kind. The sweet and tangy sauce was actually a very interesting and nice pairing to the fries. The shrimp was bouncy and not overcooked. The Mango Chicken Hero had very snappy and juicy sausage, and the tropical element was a great touch. The hot dog bun had tremendous flavour as well. Very satisfied! The Quesa Birria Tacos was the best thing of the bunch. A MUST try item! Juicy meat fillings with all the fixings, the fresh tortilla was pan fried nicely so it had nice crispness, and the secret weapon, a hearty meat jus, elevated this dish to another level. The Japanese Popcorn Chicken had a lovely crunch in the coating and seasoned so well. A really wonderful meal!
