A burst of bold flavors for a solid snack!…read more We came for early lunch to try their wagyu and veggie dogs. There was a line but it went fast, we waited ~5 mins and received our dogs, lemonade, and fries within 10 mins. The wagyu termimayo dog was really flavorful, and the mayo/teriyaki/fried onions/seaweed balanced well the sausage. The veggie okonomi was also yummy with flavorful sausage, sauce, and cabbage (we didn't get the bonito flakes). We also ordered the butter and shoyu fries which were well-seasoned with a shoyu powder and didn't feel any more greasy with butter than regular fries. The yuzu lemonade was surprisingly refreshing, the yuzu flavor was natural, strong, and didn't overpower the lemonade. There is a station where you can get sriracha, ketchup, mayo, and pickled jalapenos on the side to customize your dog to your liking. The interior felt unique and cozy, while still being clean. There is a good amount of seating indoor and outdoor. Typical street parking. Wasn't filling enough to count for a full lunch for us, but a great snack bite!

If you're out in downtown Vancouver late at night and need a bite, Japadog is the move. Open until…read more4 AM, it's the perfect post-night-out food stop. The menu has a lot of options, but my favorites were the Wagyu Beef Dog (#11) and the Pork Dog (#1). Both were packed with flavor and loaded with the signature Japanese-inspired toppings that made Japadog famous. The combination of savory meats, sauces, and fresh toppings takes a simple hot dog to another level. Quick service, great late-night eats, and a Vancouver classic that's worth trying at least once.

With so many styles and flavours to sample, Japadog will keep you coming back for more. They have veggie options and non-veggie options. One of their sausages, Kurobuta Okonimi, is topped with fried cabbage, Japanese Traditional sauce, Japanese mayo, and Bonito flakes. They also have chicken hot dogs, wagyu beef ones, tonkatsu, kurobuta croquettes, poutine and many flavours of takoyaki. Another sausage popular among Japanese customers is the Kurobuta Oroshi which has grated radish, green onions and a special soy sauce on it. I picked option # 1, KUROBUTA TERIMAYO, which is a Kurobuta Pork sausage topped with fried onions, Teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo and ample strips of seaweed sprinkled on top. It was so good.

Normally, they are roasted on those little rocks, they are dry, easy to crack out of the shell, nutty tasting and leave your hands black with charcoal, but now they are disgusting. They are steamed with what seems like sugar water. The shells are sticky with sugar syrup and you can't get the chestnuts out of the shell at all. You have to bite the whole thing and spit out the shell. They are too sweet and super soft and soggy. They are really gross. If that is sugar water that they are using then they should post a sign stating what the ingredients are for those that cannot have extra sugar or whatever is on there. I will never buy their chestnuts again if they plan on sticking with this new way of making them.

This is a new food stand that opened up not too long ago in the International Food Court. I wasn't…read moreinterested in trying it until my colleague highly recommended it. She said the portion is big and for a meal that includes rice or noodle, veggies and a meat option is only $8. She was right. I couldn't go wrong for such a cheap price and especially it is located downtown. I looked at the food options and a lot of the menu items were spicy. Except for 2 dishes: honey pork and beef brisket. Yes I went with the honey pork. It was good and I guess because it was entirely meat I think I got less compared if I chose beef stir fried with veggies. Like I said it is an inexpensive meal. I am personally not a fan of Chinese food. I would say it was ok but I don't think I would have it often. The owner there was very friendly and nice. You also get free tea if you eat in at the food court. I mean you could get the free tea to go but I didn't bother. I have tea at work.

Black Pearl is one of the newer entrants to the food court, so I figured I'd give it a shot during one of my lunch hours. I ordered the Combo (7.95) and got the extra item (2.50) for the heck of it; I chose the chicken cutlet and the beef stew. The Chicken Cutlet was a bit on the oilier side, wasn't really that crispy, and mainly tasted of salt. Beef Stew was more flavourful, though was super duper fatty, even for brisket. There were a few bits of daikon strewn throughout. Overall, the food isn't the best, but you get what you pay for: a fairly large portion of warm food that while not the best quality, will definitely fill you.

I've been trying for awhile to sample these donuts as people rave about them on Instagram. I…read morefinally got the chance when they were offered at Black Sugar Coffee House (which seems like a super cute place with great service) in Port Moody. It's clear that I wasn't the only one wanting to get my hands on them as there was already a lineup when I got there at 10:30 am (the time they started selling them). They're $20 for 4 and the flavors this week were: Classic Cinnamon Sugar, Tiramisu, Banana Cream Pie (my favorite), and Apple Crumble. The donuts themselves were good, but what stood out to me were the fillings. Donut fillings can taste artificial and fake, but these fillings tasted so fresh and flavorful. I'm not even the biggest banana fan, but the Banana Cream Pie was excellent. Instead of artificial banana filling, it was filled with real bananas and tasted so clean. Likewise with the tiramisu - I'm not big on coffee flavors, but this Tiramisu was spot on. All in all, you can tell that these donuts are made with care and don't taste artificial. Definitely worth checking out, especially for their amazing fillings!

Another addition to the food cart scene…read more Cartel Taco sells two kinds of Korean inspired pinchos tacos. You can go for a pork or a beef option and buy 4 tacos for around $10 or 2 for $5.75. I could do with a bit more spice in my tacos but aside from that the beef especially had some great bright flavours. The tortillas are supposedly fresh although mine was a little tough but they may have been due to overcooking on the grill. These little tacos are quite moorish though and I may have gone back for seconds. An excellent addition to the food cart scene and hopefully we will see great things from these guys. We could also be in for a Korean taco war with the Roaming Dragon cart on the same stretch also selling this fusion fare. This cart is run by the same operators as Abigail's Party and with that experience behind them I think we can expect some great quality and consistency.
