| Cool "hole in the wall" restaurants in Vancouver?
Looking for some neat food places to hit up; like those kinds of small, one-off, family owned hole-in-the wall restaurants with great food.
We went to Jamaican Pizza Jerk on Commercial Dr. last week and it was great. $45 we got a large pizza with jamaican jerk chicken and fresh tomatoes, goat curry, jerk chicken and fish roti.
Thanks

there are tons of hole in the wall.
chinatown, there are a few '# 9 type restaurants' that are freaking awesomeness to the max. their noodles are great.
the only = best hold in the wall place. they were shut down few weeks ago, not sure if it's opened again.

There's a Chinese restaurant with a British sounding name (Thomas? Thompson?) by the Save on Foods on #3. Pretty good.
Hiroshi's Sushi Creations on Oak st & 22nd or 19th ave. Former owner of Kokoro on Lonsdale.

Thanks | Do you know if they just serve the jerk chicken? I've always wanted to try it.
My cousin mentioned a malay place on Main, Hawkers Delight. I've never been there myself but I heard it was alright.

Kind of dry and not spicy enough; perhaps the chef (Bounty Hunta) turned down the spice seeing a brown, chinese and russian guy come in.
Thanks for the suggestions, we've found a few that look quite interesting:
Big Al's Soul Food in Bennett Center has Louisiana Cuisine and a buffet Friday nights. Too bad it's closed for Good Friday!
Don Guacamoles on Robson, apparently it's authentic Mexican and lots of real Mexicans in Vancouver go there regularly.

^ +1 for the Brave Bull steak house.
Can't go wrong with $8.95 Prime Rib. The price hasn't changed for many years.
Tried it with a buddy, as its once of those vintage places around Vancouver.

Joyeux Cafe
Awesome lunch joint if you work in downtown. http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=3299
Serves mainly Vietnamese food around $7-8. That's a steal considering the area.

Argo Cafe. Main and 2nd area. Low price, but high quality food. Only opened for breakfast + lunch. Food is amazing. Menu is different everyday. Usually super packed at lunch. Looks like a dump from the outside. Almost makes you think you're at the wrong place. Once you sit down and eat it's a whole new story.

Deacon's corner, north end of Main street, right before the shipping port.
BIG breakfast, great prices, and coffee is included in the price.
I had the sausage, biscuits and gravy... almost had a heart attack and was stuffed for the rest of the day.... for < $10. Sooooo good.
