The best kind of lunch is a lunch with a lot of op The best kind of lunch is a lunch with a lot of options ✨ @takenaka_yvr Uni Bar in @mygastown is one of my go-to spots for a filling and delicious lunch. They have really great lunch sets under $30 with a variety of options to choose from (pro tip: there’s unlimited miso soup refills if you order the Daily Special & Onigiri Combo!)   Ramen & Onigiri set $20 * you can choose from three options (Uni Ramen, Yuzu Clam or W Paitan) +$20 to add a tempura lobster tail 🦞 It comes with one onigiri (+$ to upgrade) and a small salad  Daily Special & Onigiri set starting at $28 - Your choice of one of their daily specials or sashimi - Sides - Uni Matcha Soba, one small dish, small salad and miso soup * Extra to upgrade your plain Onigiri 🍙   And of course I can’t get uni! The Uni Comparison Bowl is the cutest little bowl of absolute decadence.    The holidays are also just around the corner and they have an incredible private party room that can fit up to 30 people (with a minimum $1000). #yvreats #vancouverbc #vancouverfood #yvrfood #japanesefood #lunchset #gastown #gastownvancouver #ramen #onigiri
10 of the best bites I ate this October 🎃🍁✨ 1. Galbi from @jeju.tofino. Literally dreamed about this since last summer and it’s 1000% as good as I remember it to be. 2. Uni Comparison Bowl from @takenaka_yvr 3. Pacific Scallop Gratin From @wolfinthefog. The best baked seafood rice you could ever think of. 4. Madeleine & Foie Parfait from @ombretofino. A life changing dish for me. The brown butter Madeline with the rich foie 🤤 5. Apple pie donut from @mellovancouver. House made apple jam with their fluffy soft brioche donuts = heaven. 6. Japanese amberjack from @sushi_masuda. The texture was so unctuous and the marbling reminds me of Wagyu ⭐️ 7. Mochi waffles from @thebokettolife. Crisp waffle, ooey gooey soft mochi make for such a delicious combo. 8. Milk tea taiyaki from @pipinghot.bc. Move over Big Way, Piping Hot is definitely my go to recommendation now. 9. Yellowtail with Wa-Chimichurri sauce from @okuizakayabar. Super fresh hamachi with the zestiest chimichurri sauce, mouthwateringly good. 10. Negi Kanpa Hama from @tozensushibar. My favourite roll here. So much fresh hamachi 🤤 #vancouverfood #yvrfood #foodrecap #vancouverbc #tofinobc #tofinofood #koreanfood #japanesefood #westcoastfood
