gohan - 4 stars

1815 Rosser Ave., (near the VanCity at Madison Centre), Burnaby, BC, Phone: (604) 205-5212.
Gohan (which means “rice” in Japanese) serves up Japanese food with a twist. If you’re tired of the same old Japanese food - sushi, teriyaki, and tempura, I suggest you give Gohan a try.
While Gohan does serve the standard Japanese […]

my faves so far

This is a list of my fave reviewed restaurants so far.  All the restaurants scored at least 4 stars out of 5. 
Cristos Greek Taverna - 4624 Hastings St., Burnaby, BC, Phone: (604) 299-0008.  A great place to go for tasty, garlicky Greek food.  Try the appetizer platter.
IHOP Brentwood - 4567 Lougheed Hwy., Brentwood Mall, Burnaby, […]

Capitol Hill - 3.5 Stars

5527 East Hastings St., Burnaby, BC, Phone: (604) 294-2773.
For my money, a good takeout place is one you have ordered from enough times to know which are the best dishes.
Capitol Hill definitely fits the bill for our family. While we rarely eat in the restaurant, the takeout menu has been a lifesaver many […]

Kirin Seafood Restaurant Coquitlam - 3.5 stars

2001 - 1163 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, BC, Phone: (604) 944-8833.
The things I like best about going out for dinner are: the opportunity to try new and wondrous foods; having many different tastes and textures in the same meal; and of course, not having to clean up afterwards.
I must be getting jaded in my […]

No 1 Beef Noodle House - 4 Stars

4741 Willingdon Ave. at Moscrop, Burnaby, BC. Phone: (604) 438-6648.
I’m rather reluctant to even mention this place as I know it’s going to continue to get busier and soon I’ll be waiting in a long line-up in get in.
But, throwing caution to the wind, I’ll tell you about the “No 1″ so you […]

Fortune House Seafood Restaurant - 4.5 Stars

2199A - 4700 Kingsway, Metrotown, Burnaby, BC. Phone: (604) 438-8686.
I love dim sum. For me, the sheer variety really adds to the pleasures of eating. Even with two people, you can experience many different dishes. You can each order your favourites and also try some new dishes - my kind […]

Taisho Japanese Restaurant - 3.5 stars

15E - 4700 Kingsway, Metropolis at Metrotown, Burnaby, BC. Phone: (604) 435-1211.
It’s more than 6 hours since I finished my all-you-can-eat lunch and my belly is still bloated. I don’t know which switch in my brain gets turned on - the “el cheapo” or the “el piggo” switch when I go to […]
