604 Just Eat: Japanese Cuisine @ Raisu

April 9th, 2017

Raisu @ Kitsilano

Food:  4/5   Service:  4/5   Atmosphere:  4/5   Price:  Avg. $60 person

Upon arrival to the door entrance, to my surprise, there was actually line up already waiting to open at 5:30pm!  This was a good sign to the food quality 😏?  I was very excited because it took me long to come finally after we have heard all the buzz about this place and the pictures allover on IG and other social media.  We went to Raisu with our good friends who also are foodies!  Now I understand why our friend booked our table at 530pm,  there are several specials that are in limited serving so we ordered them right away after being seated.  Aside the signature dishes, other dishes on the menu look comparatively less interesting, more like regular items.  Highly recommended to have reservation in advance and GO EARLIER!  Still drooling when looking the food pictures again!
We were seated the nice outdoor seating area, love it!

 The weather was very beautiful and we had a great day at the Deep Cove Park.   We had a nice long walk in the afternoon then we decided to go Salmon House on the Hill for dinner!  Price is on the high side but the visit was totally worth it, highly recommended to go for special occasions.  I fall in love the breath taking views of Downtown Vancouver, it was very beautiful to see the sunset in the patio.  The environment was very relaxing with the authentic local artisan decor.  The atmosphere was amazing to have this romantic and delicious meal with hubby 😍😍😍.  LOL.
Home Made Bread @ $3
Smoked wild salmon butter 
The home made bread came with two butters, regular and salmon butters.  The smoked wild salmon butter was like pate style, creamy and easy spreading.  It was very delicious with the fresh bread!

604 Just Eat: Italian Cuisine @ Senova Italian Ristorante

July 26th, 2016

Senova Italian Ristorante @ Kerrisdale

Food:  3/5   Service:  2.5/5   Atmosphere: 3.5/5   Price:  Avg. $24 person

My friends and I came Senova for the Tuesday specials, all pasta for $12!  Senova is an Italian restaurant located on W 57th Ave in the quiet and relaxing Kerrisdale area.  The restaurant was packed with people for dinner., luckily we made reservation in advance.  This nice restaurant features an opened kitchen so you can watch the chef and staff preparing and cooking the dishes.  I was sitting near the open kitchen and it was supposed to be very interesting.  BUT, it was very hot that day which means even hotter near the oven all time baking pizza.  The food in general was mediore and I agreed with reviews about the service.  The service was not very good at all,  it was relatively slow no matter about water refill, food and bills.

604 Just Eat: Korean Cuisine @ Midam Cafe & Bistro

July 19th, 2016

Midam Cafe & Bistro @ East Burnaby

Food:  4/5   Service:  2.5/5   Atmosphere:  3.5/5   Price:  Avg. $  22/person

If you are a big fan of Korean rice cake, this restaurant will definitely fascinate you by their full menu of both savory and sweet rice cake.  Other than the rice cake desserts, they also have incredible selections of shaved ice desserts, parfaits and waffles.  However, I do agree with other reviews that they really need to work harder on the services.  They were nice and polite but definitely lack of servers.  The waiting time to order was way longer than expected and the dishes came slow too.
Must Eat:  Rice Cake Soup & Sesame Shaved Ice
