Because I live in one of the most ethnically diverse and exciting
cities on the planet, and because it's very much tourist season
already, I've decided to share some of my favourite Sushi Bars here in
Vancouver-by-the-sea with the less fortunate.
First the web sites
http://www.tojos.com/ the Grand Old Man of Sushi and still fabulous
but be advised out-of-towners pay out-of-town prices, which in the
larger scheme of things seems only fitting.
30 minute stroll from my place.
http://www.van-info.com/octopus/english.html a personal fave lo these
many years this unique and charming place serves a 'less traditional'
form of Sushi.
A 3 minute walk from my place.
http://www.okadasushi.com/ arguably the most traditonal of Vancouver
Sushi Bars with offerings often unheard of except in Japan-Chef is
something of a showboat but the quality is unsurpassed.
30 minutes walk towards downtown over the Burrad St. Bridge
Shijo 1926 West 4th Ave
604 732 4676
best Sushi rice in the city consistently jammed with Sushi
lovers-overpriced for my taste.
A full 60 seconds walking time as the journey is partially uphill(!)
En Japanese Restaurant
2602 Granville St
604 730 0330
Aspires to be a low budget successor to Tojo-san/sometimes succeeds.
About 12 minutes walk from my front door.
There are other but they require driving-something I'm often in no
shape to after a visit.
Y TU?
