Hakone Sushi

80 Keefer Place (by Stadium/Tinseltown)
Vancouver, BC V6B 0C9
Map

Service: Interior Atmosphere: Pricing:

Located just across the street from Tinseltown, this is the only sushi place near Chinatown. The restaurant is tiny and pretty busy during lunch time. I have to say the only things worth eating here are their california rolls and negitoro rolls. Their dynamite roll was appalling (sorry I don't have a photo of it right now) with soggy prawn tempura and mushy rice. I only came here to eat because there aren't any other sushi restaurants around that was walking distance from Chinatown. I probably won't come here unless I had a major craving for negitoro rolls...


Negitoro roll, salmon roll, miso soup ~ $8
The only thing I like from this place was the negitoro roll, its arranged in a flower shape! The salmon roll was expensive for what it was so I definitely won't order that again.

Phnom Penh 金邊小館

244 E. Georgia St. (Chinatown)
Vancouver, BC V6A 1Z7
Tel: (604) 682 - 5777

This place is super famous and won a lot of awards (that you can see near the entrance) - none for good customer service. This is definitely one of those places that only have good food and nothing else... Its super busy and crowded usually. I've tried their normal pho noodles and they're alright. Make a reservation if you're coming with a party of 5 or more.

Phnom Penh Deep Fried Chicken Wings $7.95 / $12.50
Very delicious! Salty, sweet, sour, spicy. They're very famous for this particular dish!

Phnom Penh Curry Chicken Hot Pot $13.50
Tasty, goes best with rice. Chicken meat is particularly yummy! Last time I had it, it was a bit on the watery side.

Marinated Butter Beef $12.85
YOU MUST TRY THIS!
I think this is my favourite thing here, its like a beef carpaccio. Don't let the red scare you!

Phnom Penh Two Kinds of Noodle (No Broth) $7.25
