It’s a small restaurant that blends in on the strip and it didn’t look like anything special, but it is Thai owned and operated. The food was surprisingly very good and it was made with Thai ingredients and served more or less authentically. It was a pleasant surprise in Burnaby Heights!

It specializes in Latin empanadas and they are hand made with grass fed meats, organic greens and quality ingredients. It offers traditional and modern fillings and the fact that they’re baked instead of fried make them a healthier choice.

Sun Yee Chinese Restaurant isn’t the best in town for Alaskan King Crab and it’s a very “every day” kind of place, but it’s good for the price and their regular menu seems promising from what I tried and saw on the other tables.

If you’re a sake connoisseur or sake-lover then this is likely your idea of heaven… although it feels like entering hell. Forget the beers, this was over 200 bottles of affordable to premium sake on the wall.

Who has Montreal’s Best Smoked Meat? Deli Lesters VS Schwartz’s Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen. I ended up getting Montreal Smoked Meat from Lesters and Schwartz’s just so I could do a back to back comparison and the results are in!

Pho Lan is a local favourite and usually the first to come to mind when people ask for “the best pho in Richmond”. I did hesitate a bit since it failed a health inspection a few months ago and it was actually my first visit here, but I’m likely to come back.

I’ve come here on numerous occasions, and it’s not my favourite sushi restaurant, but it’s bang for your buck sushi and it does the job if you’re in the area… especially after a hard day’s worth of shopping at Metrotown mall across the street.

It’s Vancouver’s most beloved hole in the wall serving Vietnamese-Cambodian cuisine. It’s really famous for a handful of items, like chicken wings and butter beef, but these items have become iconic to the restaurant and in Vancouver.
