Top Gun Sushi

810 Quayside Dr
New Westminster, BC

They're part of the Kingsway Sushi, Richmond Sushi chain of restaurants (TopGun Group). I probably won't come back here again.. Their sushi was okay, nothing spectacular. The gyoza were surprisingly good so they deserve a photo. Not much selection for lunch... what's up with that? Typical food, typical pricing for lunch all-you-can-eat ~$12.

Café Rustico

3136 Main St
Vancouver, V5T 3G7
Tel: (604) 872 - 3444

This is the only coffee shop in Vancouver that I regularly go to. The atmosphere is awesome, very Italian :) Soft Italian music playing in the background, and the place is usually quite warm. The owner, Mario, is very hospitable and often offers complimentary shots of espresso topped with whipped cream! I tell everyone I know to come here ;)

Cappuccino!
This was the right temperature, I find most places make the cappuccino too hot. All the coffee is very good here, Mario's awesome!

Ezo Giku Noodle Cafe えぞ菊

1329 Robson St (Downtown)
Vancouver, BC
Tel: 604-685-8606

This place was my FAVOURITE ramen place up until they renovated in 2007 :( This place had the BEST gyoza in town hands down! (Much better than Gyoza King across the street). They used to have corn as a standard element in their ramen along with bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and what not. Now you have to add a few cents to get it... (maybe too many people were wasting food?) So after the renovation, they got a massive bar seating area that replaced the old small bar and some changes to their menu. I personally thought the place was fine before the renovation. I've tried many of the ramen before their renovation, they've got a lot of Sapporo style ones an also rice. They have a stamp card where you get a stamp for each ramen you ordered and you get a free one if you collect 10 stamps. Needless to say I had 2+ stamp cards but that was back then.... Now I get the Miso Ramen most often and 'add' corn to it *sigh*. I WANT THE OLD EZO GIKU BACK!!

Side Note: I'm not sure what that artificial crab stick is doing in the bowl...

Miso Ramen & Gyoza ~$8.25
It was good still, just not as good as it used to be. Its still got a good miso soup base. I'm not sure if I would purposely come here from Burnaby just to eat this ramen anymore...
