High tea these days is so expensive! Most places are now charging at least $50 per person, and that's considered "affordable." So when my friend CC told me about this $70 tea set at Tsujiri, I naturally assumed it's $70 per person. But no, it's $70 for two!! Can it be too good to be true?!
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.
Earlier in the year, Takenaka opened its door, figuratively speaking, by offering different types of Japanese bento boxes. It operates in one of the Coho Commissary locations in Vancouver. Their concept is inspired by the traditional bento boxes created by mom, while introducing a more artistic approach and bringing in fresh and interesting ingredients. I was provided a few of their menu items for a tasting.
When work sent me to a 3-day class downtown, I had to scout out my lunch spots. And then there was Kita no Donburi right across from the campus (I was at the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue). Not having made any friends in class just yet, I had to eat alone at Kita no Donburi. Let me first start by saying, it's weird to eat alone.
My family and I used to frequent Nagano near Coquitlam Centre a lot, before it's closed temporarily due to a fire. Since then, we have been going to Matoi at Sunwood Square by Lougheed Highway.
