I love Japanese food! I still surprised that most people think Japanese food is only sushi!

I love:
Guu Garlic and Guu in Gastown (always a classic)
Ebisu (Deon's the man!)
Hapa Izakaya (good atmosphere and hot waitresses for my guy friends)
Kingyo (nice decor, friendly staff, food pricey)
Gyoza King (casual joint, we go there if there's a long line-up at Guu)
Octopus Garden (authentic Japanese restaurant, excellent food)
Zakkushi (yummy Robata-style food)
Nan Chuu and Manzo in Richmond (karaoke afterwards!)
Kobe Japanese Steakhouse (teppanyaki! entertaining cooking shows! a tourist fave!)
Kintaro (feeling like ramen? mild or rich? lean or fatty?)
Yuji's Japanese Tapas (boyfriend likes this one)
Japadog (ooooohhhh...mouth-watering hotdogs)
Aki on Thurlow (my Japanese students all love this one)
California Sushi (I think that's the name of it: on W.Broadway & Arbutus; all-u-can-drink coke) and Shabusen (when there's a party and we must go all-u-can eat buffets)
StrawberryCones in Aberdeen Mall (the Japanese chain of pizzas)

I want to try the new Barefoot Kitchen on Davie Street. JAPANESE CURRY ON PORK CUTLETS AND SPAGHETTI!
