Spicy  beef tripe intestines with vegetable soup
Brian L.

Food tastes great, how I expect to be. Have enough heat but not crazy hot. Only 1 server, she try her hardest to accommodate the customers. Warm white lighting inside mades it welcoming inside. Ordered Korean food, how I remembered from a friend's mother cooking

I normally order delivery but was in the area and decided to dine in. The softshell crab was delicious and wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. The Alaska roll was on point. The tteokbokki was a little watered down and mild.

Tasty and modern Korean (Japanese?) place on the SW side of Rupert and 22nd. Parking is available just E of the building. There are also plenty of spots on the side streets. Place is nice and modern. Building is relatively new, after all. Staff are friendly and professional. Special mention. The soup bowls seem to come in different sizes, depending on the type. My spicy soft tofu stew was snack sized. It was much smaller than my friend's pork bone stew, even though the pricing difference was only $1. I wish I had known this beforehand. Quality is there, but honestly I felt a bit ripped. Be sure to check with the server about portion size. Another friend had the beef udon and the portion size was also noticeably larger than mine. Maybe I just got unlucky with my particular dish. Moral of the story - skip the pork bone stew if one is hungry. I also had the scallop tataki roll. Pretty tasty. Pretty sure I'll be back at some point. Still a bit salty over the portion size though. Sigh.

Bibimbap ($17) - 3.5 stars. Tasty meat. Veggies a little limp. Thu takeout 2023-12-28

Food came in hot and fast! Everything that we had were nice and crispy! Staff were very nice and very friendly. Refills on the side dishes was a nice touch! The place had a very nice setting and ambiance!

I was SO fortunate to try this place for the first time by taking advantage of one of their Ubereats deals (& I have been ordering from them consistently ever since)! Behold the glorious scallop rolls with salmon roe & lightly flame roasted on top ... so so decadent and delicious. This is what keeps me coming back. And all their other dishes pictured (tempura, potato cakes, dynamite roll, salmon - were generous and delish as well. I think I've ordered at least 5 more times from this place after these pics - their bibimbap bowls, japchae & sushi party trays are all fab. I need to visit this place in person one day! (Find me on Instagram - @aida.loves )

Chicken teriyaki
Shirley A.

I absolutely love this place after the first visit. They recently are under new management 2 weeks ago. We ordered Chicken teriyaki Tofu soup Seafood pancake I forgot to take pictures of the other food because I was hangry. BUT as a horary Korean. It passed. Everything was soooo good. I wanted to go back the next day . Customer service was good, they checked in on us every so often to give us more tea or water The chicken was crispy like KFC. Which was soooo good. And had lots of veggies with it.

.....went to this local Dami back in middle of July....I understand it is under new management so I will have to revisit...decor/ambiance is very sparse.....food was well done

Chicken katsu don
Celina L.

New spot in the neighbourhood that offers both Japanese and Korean food, and the Korean food has GREAT AFFORDABLE prices!! Service was great, ambience is okay, they could use abit more decor but what's important is that the food is great!! Will be coming back for sure. My least favourite was the seafood pancake

I've honestly been waiting for quite a while for a great sushi spot to open up near me. Finally, this void has been filled. And as a bonus, they serve Korean food as well. I've ordered a ton of sushi from Dami. I don't have any real complaints about their food. I like their selection of rolls to choose from. The Dami Roll is a personal favourite of mine. Their dynamite and house rolls are also really great. My family at times also grabs their chicken for dinner. It is really good chicken and I think among the better ones in the neighborhood. I think the family size and how much you get is a fair transaction. I also think their batter and resulting chicken is just the right amount of crunch and crisp built up. Love Dami and their food. My biggest fear of working in the office again is that I can't grab takeout from Dami as often. One of my favourite spots in the neighbourhood.

Menu - Korean
Gloria F.

A new spot for Japanese and Korean food! This hidden gem is located on 22nd ave and Rupert St. Since the eateries nearby were closed due to construction, Dami is a great addition to the neighborhood We dined in so we can try the fresh Korean fried chicken and it did not disappoint. We were glad to have ordered the Family Portion with half sweet & spicy and half original. We also got a sushi roll and 2 pc nigiri sushi The Fried chicken was juicy and crispy It was a lot of food for 2 people but we didn't mind the leftover chicken for the next day, it was still crispy! The Chopped Scallop Tataki roll was pretty tasty! They have so much to offer like bento boxes for lunch, Poke bowls, and Korean dishes like japchae and tofu soup. I would recommend giving Dami a try

House roll
Kit Yee Y.

This is a korean running restaurant but sells both korean and Japanese food! They opened in our neighbourhood recently and we saw it was highly rated, so we decided to give it a try. We know some people only like Japanese food and do not open for korean food. But some of course love both Japanese and korean food. We are the later. We ordered their highly recommended tofu soup with seafood and rice combo, half and half fried chicken (original and sweet and spicy), house roll, Dami castle and salmon with sockeye Oshi sushi. Wow amazing! We were so happy that we tried them all. The quality was so good. The flavour and everything else were very balanced. It's not like one dish was better than others. We would love to go back and try other dishes next time. There is street parking and a few parking spots behind the restaurant. Customer service was fine. Pricing is reasonable. We ordered takeout and we were surprised that they asked us to wait for 40 mins. It's quite long for takeout. This is like the time we waited for Uber Eats but we literally went there to pick up the food after ordering on phone. It means their business is probably doing well and taking a lot of orders. I hope this restaurant will continue running well. It's always good that local businesses are doing well. Agree?!

Beef soon doobu
Tiffany T.

Came in on a rainy Saturday afternoon, welcoming staff and cozy place. The food was out fast and was tasty. Both dishes had the right amount of spice and the banchan were so good as well! This place is perfect if you're craving Korean food or Japanese food. They had an assortment of Korean classics and a great amount of Japanese food to choose from.

If you're ever in Vancouver, you absolutely can't miss Miku, the Japanese restaurant next to Canada Place! This restaurant is incredibly popular, often requiring a wait, so reservations are highly recommended. This time, I managed to book a window seat a week in advance for the weekend! The renowned Miku restaurant undoubtedly boasts a beautiful view from its windows, excellent service, and of course, delicious food. Their seared sushi is particularly famous. From appetizers to main courses to desserts, the dining experience was very enjoyable. Their signature dessert, Green Tea Opera, is highly recommended!

We recommend sitting by the window or at the sushi bar, where you can watch the chefs prepare the seared sushi right before your eyes. Tip: If you're looking for high-quality, elegant Japanese cuisine with a touch of innovation, Miku is an excellent choice. It's almost always fully booked, so be sure to make a reservation in advance. Request a window seat to enjoy the waterfront view while savoring your meal--it's well worth it!

Not just for great sushi, but really affordable prices as well. Yes, the wait for a table can get long. We waited about 45 minutes, and there's no area to wait except outside or go take a walk since they will text you when your table is ready. I also appreciate seeing where my place in line is through Yelp! First, a shoutout to the wonderful service here. Everywhere I go in Vancouver the service is great, but the server here was so friendly, helpful and efficient. The ambiance is really nice here and I love the place settings! We had a lot, so here is my breakdown: Spicy Agedashi Tofu - lightly fried tofu in a sauce that reminded me of gochuchang sauce. 7/10 Gyoza - crispy fried with a pork/veggie filling. 6/10 Karaage chicken - on the bone, but delicious nonetheless. Served with a mayo sauce. 7/10 Tuna Bomb - 10/10 this came out last because it takes longer to make. This is an absolute must-do. Crispy rice patties with a spicy tuna spread that you just place on the rice. Salmon jalapeno aburi hako - 10/10 I have been excited about this since I heard about it. The seared salmon on top of rice with a shrimp tempura running through the middle. The salmon and sauce on top melt in your mouth. Red Dynamite Roll - 9/10 this was my brother's favorite. I wanted it to be a bit spicier, but that said it's still so amazing. Mango Flower Roll - 9/10 if you like mango then you will love this. This also just melts in your mouth and that mango is just so fresh. California roll - 8/10 as great as a California roll can be! No complaints here! Rainbow Roll - I didn't get to try it, but my niece gave it a 10/10! I will definitely be coming back here again.

My friend wanted to try this place, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:45pm, and…read morewere told there would be about a 90 min wait and they would contact us when our table is ready. It ended up being closer to 60 min. The place is not big. I counted maybe 36 seats. The interior is nice but generic enough to be just about any type of restaurant. The menu accessed via QR code. I ended up trying the following: - Assorted Tempura: Good. Light batter, but slightly overbrowned. - Miso Black Cod: Good. More elaborate presentation than most, but very small piece. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Very good. Fresh and delicious. - Tom Special Roll Tray: Very good. A great way to sample all the different roll, all which are very good. I thought it was reasonably priced and could adequately feed 4 people. Service was very good. There are a LOT of staff, so we were constantly being checked on to make sure we were happy and got anything we needed. Overall a good meal. It doesn't classify as the best sushi in Vancouver, but I can see the quality-value ratio might be the best in the city. All the food was quite good and certainly not overpriced. I imagine the high staff count was due to the overwhelming amount of takeout orders. I would return.

If you haven't had aburi sushi, this is the place to fix that. Minami is the sister restaurant to…read moreMiku and they're the ones who brought the flame-seared style to Vancouver, so they know exactly what they're doing. Each piece gets torched over charcoal which gives it this smoky, melt-in-your-mouth quality, and the specialty sauces mean you don't even reach for the soy (they will also say to your face not to, so unless you want to endure their judgement--which my husband happily does--I'd stay away from soy sauce for the aburi. Their salmon oshi is well known, I love the ebi oshi the most but definitely get both and decide for yourself. The whole menu delivers though, from the sashimi to the rolls to the cocktails, all of it beautifully plated without feeling fussy. The space is nice too, took a big group of family here once after an event and they all loved it. And if you're here in the summer ask about the garden patio out back. It's an elevated experience but never stuffy. Perfect for a date night or when you want to treat yourself. Reservations are a good idea because it fills up. Easily one of my favourite spots in Yaletown though!

We dropped into Minami for happy hour and were seated immediately…read more We ordered from the happy hour menu for a quick snack before dinner plans: Brussels sprouts were the surprise standout: crisped edges, a nice caramelized finish, and enough seasoning to keep each bite interesting. The oshi sampler (their signature pressed sushi) looked tidy and well-composed, and the textures were clean, though the flavors didn't quite pop the way I'd hoped. The roll we ordered was fine, nothing to write home about. Happy hour pricing makes this an accessible way to try Minami's menu. That said, I left feeling like I'd rather spend more for items not on the happy hour menu.

I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

We visit this Michelin 1 star restaurant for their 15-course omakase lunch set at $180 per person…read more We were greeted at the store front and seated for our 12:15pm booking. Total 10 guests today. Looks like 4 more guests can be served for the maximum seating. The server came by when the course is served to explain each item. The appetizers have three dishes. The tempura is freshly made and hot. The cooked fish tastes a bit fishy to my likely. The chawanmushi is lukewarm which I wish to be hotter. It then follows by 8 nigiri sushi with brown rice - really like the texture and (small) portion of rice with each nigiri. Fresh ingredients. I asked for low sodium option however the first few nigiri is a bit too salty and I have notified the server so the chef can adjust immediately. I enjoy the Hokkaido uni nigiri the last smoked fish nigiri the most. The fresh crab and salmon roe rice and beef soba noodles at the end have a nice touch of finesse. There are a number of birthday celebrations and they asked for names to acknowledge and celebrate the birthdays. A little musical piano "performance" for the happy birthday song. Matcha green tea is served at the end to wrap up the omakase. Overall an enjoyable experience but not necessarily impressive as a Michelin 1 star restaurant. At this price point it's worth a try however not likely regular visit.
