Mega Sushi

By Mijune

The food was fresh, the sauces made in house and the service was inviting. Even if it wasn’t “authentic”, I give them credit for presentation, effort and creativity. Mega Sushi had modern flavour and flare and I would recommend it for something non-traditional, funky and still sophisticated.

Follow Me Foodie to BC Ingredients and Products!

By Mijune

The BC agriculture tied together with a multicultural population allows for a very diverse food scene that I am really proud of. The emphasis on local ingredients is growing stronger and while be have a whole lot of farms, fisheries, suppliers and artisans to choose from, here are just 10 of some of my favourites.

Richmond Night Market – The Food Vendors (River Rock)

By Mijune

I like to think of it as the Asian version of the Vancouver Farmers Market, except there are no farmers and just food. I can handle that, can you? This year the Richmond Night Market is even bigger and it has found a new home right by the River Rock Casino. It has 88 food vendors & I tried 10!

Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant

By Mijune

The ambiance and menu aims for upscale, but the food doesn’t necessarily speak at the level or with that kind of Chef. The Chef is Japanese, but it is Chinese owned and you have to be selective with the ordering. While it started off quite impressive, some things suffered from not reaching its full potential.

Charcoal Sushi & BBQ Restaurant

By Mijune

I haven’t been here in over a year and half, but it doesn’t seem like anything has changed. The food was again pretty good, but just on the pricey side for Richmond standards, however they do have reasonably priced lunch specials & some decent creative rolls.

Father’s Day Food Events & Restaurant Specials in Metro Vancouver!

By Mijune

I feel kind of bad. It’s Father’s Day on Sunday June 17 and I got maybe half the amount of promos from restaurants compared to on Mother’s Day. I love celebrating mom, but dad needs to eat too! Follow Me Foodie to Father’s Day restaurant promos, specials and events in Metro Vancouver!

Alaskan King Crab – Kalok Seafood Restaurant 加樂海鮮酒家

By Mijune

It was my last Alaskan King Crab meal of the season so I decided to have it at Kalok. It’s not a bad place, but it’s just very average. Many of the dishes I’ve had better elsewhere and it just seemed like a homestyle approach to Chinese cooking, but not in that “authentic” way.
