The "Top Restaurants" threads have been done to death, but I'm wondering: What are your favourite restaurants that you visit again & again. I'm not talking about the "best" restaurants in Vancouver, but more everyday places that you love to visit again and again... casual dining.
A few of mine are:
Au Petite Cafe - lemon grass chicken on flavoured rice, curry beef noodles, banh mi
Phnom Penh - butter beef, chicken wings, phnom penh mixed noodles, beef on rice with egg, & much, much more
Pho Quyen - THE best bun bo hue
Aberdeen Food Court - Leung Kee is great for casual cafe-style chinese food
Bo Laksa King - Great laksa noodles + roti canai
Tropika - nasi goreng, curries
Tandoori King (fraser st) - curries, roti, tandoori chicken
Manzo (alexandra) - robata, sukiyaki hotpot, dobin mushi
Sushi Hatchi - very fresh sashimi's (small restaurant though... long wait for seat on weekends without a reservation)
KK Dollar Hotpot - they have ma lat hotpot here and a large selection of food that you can order. never any wait for a table and service is fair (although they seem to only speak mandarin)
Guu with Garlic - saba grill, salmon carpaccio, kimchi/yaki udon, to name a few
Memphis Blues - elvis platter
Sandbar - I'm not sure how the other food is here, but I always come here for the linguine vongole (clams)
Shady Island (steveston) - their other food is meh, but the seafood chowder is verrry good.
Pho Hong (fraser + 48 location... not kingsway) - regular pho
Benkei - ramen
Jang Mo Jib - pork bone stew
Tony's Beef Noodle - small cold appetizers + taiwanese beef noodle
Baan Wasana (kerrisdale) - pad thai
Go Fish - fish + chips and some kinda wrap... forgot what it's called
Pho Tan - pho is nothing to write home about, but good for dinner: a la carte menu items
Pho Cao Van - bun bo hue
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Please add your favourites!
