I recently went on a walking food tour along the West End of Robson Street in Vancouver. That area has always been known as a foodie spot, with a wide variety of restaurants scattered across several blocks. On this tour, we checked out six restaurants, cafes and bubble tea shops on Robson Street, all within walking distance to each other. Here is the list and what I suggest you order, so save this post so you can go on this foodie tour on your own!
Daigyo Cafe Vancouver – New Japanese Cafe on Robson Street
A new Japanese style cafe just arrived in Vancouver. Daigyo Cafe officially opens its doors on Robson Street on February 18, but the soft opening was on February 9. Here's a quick look at the inside and some of its menu items.
Hello Nori – Hand Roll Sushi Bar in Vancouver
Hello Nori opened its first location on Robson Street in downtown Vancouver earlier this year. They specialize in sushi hand rolls (temaki). Since I've been almost a hermit during the pandemic, I haven't ventured out downtown for a number of months. Finally last month with a nudge from my friend CC, we went to check it out.
Kaneko Hannosuke Vancouver – Tempura Rice Bowl from Japan
Recently, a famous Japanese tendon franchise -- Kaneko Hannosuke -- opened its first Canadian location in Vancouver. Tendon is the Japanese name for tempura rice bowl. I took Mama Lam and Papa Lam there on a Monday morning.
Ramen Koika – K-Pocha Menu at Robson location
We've been to Ramen Koika a few times over the years, to both locations on Davie and Robson. We always ended up ordering a ramen. The black garlic one was my favourite and Mr. fell in love with the beef ribs one. Little did we know the Robson location actually has a K-Pocha Menu, serving up their version of many Korean favourites. We were invited to sample a few items off that menu.
