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...

Tanpopo Japanese Restaurant

1122 Denman St (Downtown)
Vancouver, BC
Tel: (604) 681-7777

This must be the best all-you-can-eat place in Vancouver! Apparently its been around for a while now. The service was pretty good, they're timely with refilling the tea. Dinner AYCE here is more worth it than lunch in my opinion because you get so much more variety (like sashimi and negitoro cone).

Negitoro Cone
This is sooo good!! I would come back just for this cone, alone. The tuna is scattered throughout the cone (not just sitting at the top) and its so yummy!

Tuna Tataki
This was so-so...

Salmon Sashimi
Not bad, but I've had better salmon sashimi at Fish on Rice

IMG_8257
Beef Sashimi
This was good, beef sashimi is not that common on the AYCE menu.

Bacon Skewers
Yummy and oily!

Oyster Motoyaki
