Tom Sushi
Did you know that Vancouver has been named the sushi capital of the world outside of Japan? If you want the taste of buttery fresh fish, this sushi is absolutely to die for. Run do not walk to Tom Sushi! Tom Sushi was started by chef Tom Jeon. Tom has been preparing sushi for ten years. Tom’s restaurant is located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver’s Davie Street. The attention to detail the meticulous plating does not go unnoticed. The quality of the food is next level. The service is excellent and they turn around tables quite fast and sufficiently. When arriving expect a lineup and a wait but I promise you it is worth it. You can not go wrong if you order the sushi. If you want a variety but do not know what to order, you can never go wrong with the platters they offer. (Seen below)
Tacofino
In the mood for interesting flavours? Fresh fish tacos? Or exceptionally crisp chicken? Tacofino is a must try if you are ever in the West coast! Tacofino is originally from Vancouver Island. They originated from the back of a surf shop parking lot in Tofino, British Columbia. Tacofino can be found now across Vancouver and Victoria. You have to try their fish tacos. It is the perfect combination of crunch and freshness. The taco is so light and perfectly seasoned. They have a great mix of vegetarian and meat options. Each location does offer different items. Trying more than one location in Vancouver would be ideal so you can try as many flavour combinations as possible.
The Lunch Lady
Originally from the streets of Vietnam, the lunch lady originates from a lady called Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thanh. If you want really authentic Vietnamese street food than this is the place for you! In the words by the late great, Anthony Bourdain.. “It’s like discovering new neighbourhoods every few mouthfuls.” Eating at the Lunch lady is an experience, every spoonful of goodness is followed by an explosion of flavours! You must try the veggie spring rolls, the pho and the vermicelli noodles. Everything on the menu looks mouth watering delicious. They have cool and fun looking drinks that pair well with the delicious dishes.
