604 Just Eat: Vietnamese Cuisine @ Downtown

Jul 23rd, 2015 

24 Train Express Noodle House @ Downtown

Food:  2/5   Service:  2.5/5   Atmosphere:  2/5   Price:  Avg. $13 person

 Pho, a comfort food of mine. We usually visit PHO house 2-3 times a month. 

We were too lazy cooking after work (even too lazy to drive for dinner); therefore, we decided to go for Pho at 24 Train Express which is only 5 minutes walk from home.  The restaurant was emptied when we walked in; a big question mark on my mind, STAY or NOT?  Lol.

Jul 5th, 2015 

Shang Noodle House @ Central Richmond

Food:  3.5/5   Service:  3.5/5   Atmosphere:  3/5   Price:  Avg. $12 person

We were wandering and looking for lunch place in Richmond on the usual Sunday afternoon.  We wanted to eat something light and not oily; therefore, we decided to try out Shang Noodle House.  Shang Noodle House is located on Saba Road in central Richmond.  It is a Chinese noodle bar offering different kinds of noodles, soup base and toppings.  Although the location is convenient and easy access, there are very limited free parking spots available.  We paid to park on the street instead.  

For hubby:  Red Reishi Mushroom Ramen @ $10.38
Very light and simple soup base; not greasy and salty at all.  Good vegetarian choice!

Seasons in the Park is at an awesome location in Queen Elizabeth Park.  The garden atmosphere is so nice and relaxing under the great weather in summer!  It was one of the places that I have been wanting to come for a long time. Thank you so much our good friend for the reservation to celebrate hubby's birthday.

604 Just Eat: Canadian Cuisine @ CRAFT Beer Market

Jul 11th, 2015 

CRAFT Beer Market @ Olympic Village

Food: 4/5   Service:  4/5   Atmosphere:  4.5/5   Price:  Avg. $40 person

CRAFT Beer Market is a premium casual bar food restaurant located in the historic Salt Building in Olympic Village.  We went there for dinner with a group of 8 to celebrate hubby's birthday.  It was my first time visit and I was very excited the endless selection of draft beer and varieties items on the menu.  We were seated at the lovely raised mezzanine; spacious and private area to enjoy our beers and dishes while enjoying the comfortable and inviting atmosphere on the main floor.  Found that their dishes are not only traditional bar food; actually they are quite creative with lots of fusion ideas.   

604 Just Eat: Canadian Cuisine @ Gudrun

Jul 10th, 2015 

Gudrun Tasting Room @ Steveston

Food:  3.5/5   Service:  3.5/5   Atmosphere:  4/5   Price:  Avg. $40 person

After dinner with Sushi Hachi, Hubby and I decided to check out Gudrun Tasting Room in Steveston Village.  I grew up in Steveston neighborhood so I'm quite familiar the area.  Gudrun is a quiet secret place with a neat patio area located on Mocton Street in Steveston village. I heard that their kitchen is quite small so I think that is why they try to keep the menu simple with limited varieties. 

It might be a lil difficult to locate Gudrun; easily walk by without paying attention.

604 Just Eat: Japanese Cuisine @ Sushi Hachi

Jul 10th, 2015 & Aug 8th, 2015 

Sushi Hachi @ Central Richmond

Food:  5/5   Service:  4.5/5   Atmosphere:  4/5   Price:  Avg. $40 person

Sushi craving time!!!  Sushi Hachi is an authentic small Japanese restaurant located in the Pacific Plaza.  Prices on the menu are on the high side but trust me it's definitely worth it!!!!

Sushi Hachi is my all time favorite Japanese restaurant.  Hubby and I went to Sushi Hachi last month which I have not had time to write a post yet.  Then, I just had dinner again with my best best girl who introduced and brought me here many years ago.  I am in love with Sushi Hachi since then.  I am going to write a post on my 2 nights visit as a sincere compliment to this 100% authentic Japanese restaurant.  If you were looking for economy sushi joints, do not go Sushi Hachi.  It's definitely not one of those late night discount sushi bar style. 

One word to sum up our experience in Sushi Hachi - OISHI!!! 
MUST EAT:  NIGIRI SUSHI - SABA, IKURA, TORO & SHIMAAJI

604 Just Eat: Vietnamese Cuisine @ Au Petit Cafe

Jul 4th, 2015

Au Petit Café @ Riley Park & Little Mountain

Food:  4/5   Service:  3/5   Atmosphere:  3/5   Price:  Avg. $15person

Au Petit Café is a small and causal Vietnamese café besides Long's Noodle House on Main street.  Long wait is expected during weekend peak hours.  The wait ended up taking a while.  There were a lot of people waiting outside and we could not tell they were awaiting for Long's or Au petit Café!  I just realize that I forgot to take a snapshot of my no. 1 house special Banh Mi (Vietnam Sandwich).  Probably I was too hungry after the long wait.  It was so fresh and delicious!!!  At last, it is highly recommended to go Au petit Café for Vietnamese sub sandwich where you can get the best in town!  You can't go wrong!!!
MUST EAT:  BANH MI DAC BIET

Jul 3rd, 2015

Tapenade Bistro @ Steveston

Food:  3/5   Service:  3.5/5   Atmosphere:  4/5   Price:  Avg. $25person

Tapenade Bistro, one of the great spot restaurant in Steveston Village.  Patio were filled as expected when we go there.  We seated inside instead.  O well, that is summer in Vancouver!  Nice sun weather with seabreeze here.  Simple menu with good varieties.  They serve locally sourced seafood and seasonal ingredients.  What a wonderful day to enjoy a glass of wine here with good friends on a Friday night.
