Shuraku on Granville at Robson St., downtown is my fourth quick pick. I went for lunch and chose the "gozen", a set meal for lunch and was presented with a beautiful and delicious array of food (about $17). The photo above shows the meal, and miso soup, rice, and green tea ice cream for dessert were all included. It was more than enough food. I also had a sake flight (I think this was $12 for the three samples of sake), and loved especially the bottle pictured above that has a distinct taste of tea. The owner of Shiraku seems to be a big fan of sake and brings in bottles that you can't get on your own. The food is great. My service that day was slow because they were running around trying to keep up with the big Boxing Day crowd, but they are friendly and attentive otherwise. This place can seem pricey to someone who is used to cheaper sushi places, but the food quality and taste is high, so I think it is well worth it.
This is simply a journal of my food adventures, mainly in Vancouver, BC. Basically, a place for me to live out my long-time fantasy of being a restaurant reviewer. I hope that readers will find the reviews useful. I will include random bits about other foodie adventures like grocery and cookware shopping, cooking/baking projects, cooking classes, and eventually I’ll add a cartoon – The Adventures of Ha Gow, my little Chinese dim sum shrimp-filled dumpling dude. Foodies of the city, unite!
