Was happy to gone…read moreon a quieter evening as I can only imagine how busy this place normally is The fries came first and we loved the crunchy onion and melted that it was covered with! They didn't last long on the table with our group! The heaters weren't working properly on our table, so it took a few tries to get our cheese melted with the bulgogi. So they went ahead and pre-melted the cheese with the chicken before bringing it to the table. Not only was this mix tasty, it was fun scoop it across for our dish. I order a japchae to go, which was also delicious! (Unfortunately someone accidentally rested my to-go bag on a counter with grease before giving it to me, as I discovered later) The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I would definitely come here again. (you can find me on Insta @aida.loves )

When I was visiting the city for work, my friend took me here. Our visit was on a Friday evening…read morefor dinner. The restaurant was spacious and lively already! A friendly front desk staff greeted us and took us to our seat by the window. Despite not having a reservation, we were surprised that we managed to get a good seat. The menu was large and varied, there were so many items that it took some time for us to decide. Finally, we picked Potato Cakes for the appetizer. For the main dish, my friend ordered Stone Pot Unagi on Rice and I chose Flying Ramen Takoyaki. A few minutes later, our orders came to our table, hot and fresh. The potato cakes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The portion size of our main dishes was generous. However, they leaned more on the North American flavours instead of Japanese- they were quite salty and we had to drink a lot of water. My friend said that for her bowl, there was too much rice and not enough unagi. For my dish, there was a lot of fried noodles and sauce, but not enough vegetables to balance the saltiness. It was still fun to try a different take on Japanese food. For next time, we decided that we would order a drink and smaller items to share. If you are in the area, come and check this place out!

Fabulous little spot along Commercial drive! Always packed but open late!!…read more This place has delicious, unique cocktails and tasty small bites. I tried several cocktails here and found them all to be really good in their own way. The cocktails are a twist from classic drinks and they do not disappoint. I tried Tonka, Suika, Kuri and Ume. Loved all of them and each had distinctive tastes from each other. My faves were Kuri and Ume. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. The service is great. Staff are eclectic and happy to help. This place is small, and a bit dark. It is also quite loud. Better for friends gathering to try drinks and food than an intimate date spot (unless you're into loud but lively bars, and don't mind loudly talking to your date). Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time as spots fill up fast. I only got a reservation in day of, late at night!

5/5 service, vibes, novelty. food was alright…read more Nomo nomo is a super fun spot for when you're feeling shareables and having drinks! Lively atmosphere and cute colourful decor no matter which angle you look. Service is wonderful, drinks are unique, and the bartenders put lots of care in their prep. Unfortunately, the food was pretty average imo maybe we didn't get the right items. *Hamachi tartare was cool! 4/5 *Prawn toast tasted like a costco hotdog to me T-T maybe that was the goal... I was not a fan but my friend REALLY liked it *Wagyu sliders, fun concept but didn't seem so different from a regular burg As a non-drinker I'm not compelled to return, but worth a try!

I love that their tray A doesn't come with any filler rolls like cucumber roll etc and it all had sashimi in it (except for the yam roll). The crazy boy roll was okay. I wouldn't get it again but the Kuro house roll was a welcome surprise. Had lots of fish in it and didn't taste overly sweet or anything. All the sushi was not bad and the fish tasted okay. I would come back again for tray A

Having it blended in with the garlic chips and diced cucumbers etc was a nice thing to enjoy wrapped up with seaweed And wow the mushroom cheese bibibap was shockingly super good despite there being no meat in it. Deep fried brie in panko is a definite must try! The ambiance was lively dim and energetic. Service was consistent and quick. Didn't wait long for food, i didn't have to plan the outting at all. Resos were made and it was awesome. I can't wait to go back.

This is a classic izakaya in the heart of Gastown. It was not too busy despite it being the day…read morebefore a World Cup game hosted in Vancouver. Parking is extremely limited and paid so recommend taking transit here. We tried the deep fried calamari, Wagyu beef tataki, 3 choice dry aged sashimi, scallop carpaccio, and some beers. The dishes were fairly small for the price and was a bit average. The sashimi was good but tasted just like regular sashimi, so not really worth the premium. The Wagyu beef tataki didn't taste as fresh as I hoped, but the ginger sauce equalized the flavor. The scallops were pretty good. All of these paired well with the beer. Not a negative but a heads up that you may face a language barrier when placing the order so definitely make clear what you want to get by pointing out the items you want off the menu

My favorites were the tontori (melt in your mouth pork cheek!!) and arugula gomae (with toasted hazelnut for that perfect nutty flavor). My boyfriend liked the tuna tataki.

They specialize in seafood, we ordered a small seafood pot ($50), the whole pot was packed with seafood, the broth is amazing. Service is attentive and friendly.

Bossam is served with a fun variety of sides like tofu, pickles, and radish. The deep fried oysters + pancake options (seafood and potato both) have not let us down, though the pancakes are a little small for the price imo. Have only had their signature seafood pot once; it was fresh though not memorable enough to be something we gravitate towards.
