and for people thinking food is expensive, these chefs and cook get up at 4-5am in the morning getting to work in the cold prepping your sauces and meat/veggies

i am grateful for them and their prices should justify the hard work and taste of the restaurant.

A profession has responsibilities? Absurd!

That’s no difference than some cop or soldier taking stress leave because they had a traumatic experience imo, you know what you signed up for.

Chinatown BBQ on 130 East Pender. 8.5/10, good old fashion Chinese BBQ in a retro feel and vibe place, items tasted great, service was friendly.

Vanouver Sun article if you're interested.

Going to Vegas in a couple weeks. Anyone have recommendations on a good steakhouse? Looking for great steak and good ambience(for the fiancé of course) I found The Steak House (Circus Circus) and The Capital Grill( Fashion Mall) The former being a hidden gem and the latter a chain(not familiar with the name). Doesn't have to be $100+ steaks but definitely not some hole in the wall especially since it's her bday.lol

Morton's The Steakhouse - The Best Steak Anywhere!

Had the porterhouse last time and it was probably the best steak I’ve ever had.

I haven't been to many steakhouses in Vegas but my friend recommended to go PRIME inside the Bellagio and I was not disappointed. The martini's were delicious. The steaks were solid, definitely get the truffle mash. Best of all if you reserve/request for outside seating you can get a great view of the Bellagio water fountains while enjoying your meal.

For an artery clogging, surprisingly good, fried chicken wing, none other than your local 7-11! 4/5.

Been to Morton's when it was around. Funny thing is, the most memorable thing to me was their bread and souffle. I had the porterhouse and it was impossible to finish.

Impossible because of the portion size or inedible?

Must have meant size. It was delicious and massive. I was told I wouldn’t finish it so I accepted the challenge and ate nothing but steak. No room for sides but I got it done. And I’m not a big dude by any means.

Seriously, go to Mortons for a good steakhouse experience if you haven’t been before.

Pokerrito
Addicted to poke bowls lately and since this is near BCIT downtown campus, it is all I eat for lunch. Value wise, this place is the best out of the 2 I've tried.

Overall, 2/3 (depends on size) scoops of protein, then 3 mix-ins, 2 sides, and 5 toppings. They have crab meat for sides, which I love.

Try to avoid going there at lunch time weekdays, the line up goes out the store and half way down the block.

Service: 9/10. Fast and the girls are very patient when customers are indecisive. Some even suggest a selection for you.

Environment: 9/10. Very clean, but the store is very small and very limited seating.

Value: 8/10. IMO, expensive for what you get, but because it's healthy, it makes up for it.

Quality: 9/10. Haven't experience anything wrong with the food except the water they serve is tap water.

Pacific Poke
The second poke bowl place I've tried today. I went there expecting something similar to Pokerrito, but the variety was less for the same price.

Service: 5/10. Maybe it's just that one server, but he was rushing me to pick my toppings when nobody was behind me in line. I was looking at the menu on the wall to see what I want, and he insisted that I just look at the toppings and choose. I mean, how the fuck do I know what is what? I asked for wasabi [something], and he put the ginger instead. I confirmed I want wasabi, but it was too late to take all the ginger out. Wasn't satisfied with that particular server.

Environment: 9.5/10. Same, very clean and the place is a little bigger than Pokerrito.

Value: 6/10. Same price as Pokerrito, but less stuff to choose from. They don't have "sides" to choose. It's protein, to toppings, to mix-ins. And the guy only gave me like, I think, 3 strands of sprouts that is half the size of Pokerrito...

Quality: 9/10. No problem with quality, but again, tap water.



Will be trying Westcoast Poke next.

Not sure if this is for all locations but the Pokerrito on Hornby St. has a 10% discount if you bring your own bowl.

Just heads up that Dine-Out Vancouver is starting again, taking reservations starting today. Ebisu Robson has a killer 3-course menu. I don't even like sweets but the yuzu ice cream is amazing!

Lol I had a radio interview today about DOV. I’m not gonna tell you when it airs though since I was so awkward.
Godspeed to you and your staff obsideon, and good luck to all the chefs, cooks and servers of RS. It’s a lot less stressful than it was 5 years ago.

lol whaat I want to hear the interview!
Hmm what's the difference from 5 years ago? Personally it's still pretty much the same stress give or take a few grey hairs lol, just deciding from all the different plates we tried before finalizing the menu literally 35 minutes before the submission deadline.

I haven't done Dine Out Vancouver in 3 years. Wondering if it is better now? I know it is crazy for the restaurant, but for the diner as well, I always felt rushed.

^^ You are certainly not alone. As a customer, I felt very rushed and under pressue during Dine Out Vancouver events as well. But much like you, my "most recent" DOV experience was from a few years ago.

IMO, if someone is willing to plow through a few foodie reviews, keep an eye out for where their foodie friends eat, etc. It is already pretty easy to get yourself a variety of great eats during the regular times. Slower pace, larger regular sized portions, more relaxed atmosphere. I'd much prefer that over the pace of DOV now, even though I appreciate what DOV offers.
