Matsuyama for sushi - we aren't ballin' and cannot afford sushi hachi and ajisai
I think the place is called "the place" .. in cantonese it's "low day fong" like 'old place' for their xiao loong tong bao (pretty much a large xiao loong bao, with a bit more juice/soup)
Charthouse in Steveston when we feel semi-fancy
Golden Ocean i think it's called... it's the one on second floor behind London Drugs in Kerrisdale (on 41st) - I really like their crispy chicken with fish sauce, it's one of the most moist chicken's I've ever had
Copa Cafe - relative close to home
Alleluia - Pretty good HK cafe, except usually there are line ups.
Cattle cafe/deer garden - when I just want a bowl of customized noodles lol - again line ups
