Surviving in Maple Ridge...
GM Restaurant on Lougheed Hwy near 207th is good if you like Indian food. However I must admit that The Green House on the corner of Dewdney Trunk & 224th is FABULOUS!!. Prices are reasonable, portions quite large & food is high quality. Well worth the visit.
Lansing Mi
I am planning a visit from the west coast to Lansing Mi to visit a friend there. My friend does not seem to care much for seafood which I love. Nor is my friend an adventurous diner like myself. Would appreciate any suggestions on affordable dining options in the area. Am determined to get my friend to try something new... My motto--"Try it , you might like it"
Thanks in advance.....

3) Urban Fare(Coal Harbour) 305 Bute
4) Meinhardt's 14th & Granville
Good luck!
Taco Del Mar-5th Ave Place Calgary
TDM is a chain. Need I say anything more? For those people who have never tried REAL texmex before, then I suppose this is a start. If want something quick & easy go there. If you want quality authentic texmex then go elsewhere

Sushi King House on Granville St in the Marpole area of Vancouver. About a 5-10min cab ride away from YVR. The food is fresh,portions large & prices cheap.

Vancouver Restaurants
Well if you like sushi, I recommend the Sushi King House on Granville near 64th in the Marpole(south Vancouver) area. The portions are large,food is fresh & the prices are good.
On a cold damp day I thoroughly enjoy the Seafood Ramen Soup. Tasty with tons of fish/seafood in it. Usually I can not eat the whole thing.
Orange Cauliflower ???
Here we can buy white,orange & purple cauliflower. The produce dept guy sez the coloured cauliflower is the same as white but was developed to encourage kids to eat it. Sounds good to me but my spouse probably wouldn't touch the coloured stuff.(won't try anything different)
Have you heard of Broccoflower--it's kind of a cross between broccoli & cauliflower,.

Sushi and Seafood in Vancouver
My favourite place for sushi is Sushi King House on Granville near 64th. It's on the way to downtown from the airport. It prides itself as being the biggest sushi in town. It's inexpensive,fresh & portions are huge. On cool damp days I enjoy the Seafood Ramen Soup.

Thank-you so much for the tip. I've already looked @ Ouisi's website & am craving it already. As luck would have it, they have a quite generous coupon in the Entertainment Book. Bonus!! Will take friends there.
As for Anducci's, I simply forgot about them. they are very good.
Thanks again.

NY Hound with 8 year old-Vancouver
If your cruise takes you to Skagway Alaska there's a small restaurant (sorry I don't recall name)near the dock where you disembark. If you walk into the little town, you go right past it. It looks kinda funky(scrap metal sculptures in the yard,upturned bottles on posts,etc..)
Don't let the looks fool you. The food is awesome. I stumbled upon it two yrs ago. However we know food on cruise ships is usually awesome too!
Just moved to Vancouver...
I'm assuming you like Sushi(you obviously like other Asian cuisines). For good cheap sushi go to Sushi King House on Granville near 64th. The food is fresh & portions are large.
Toronto Hound Excited to Visit Vancouver
My favourite place for Sushi in Vancouver is on your way from the airport to downtown.
It's called the Sushi King House on Granville by 64th. It's a small place but the food is awesome & the portions are large. Being cheap helps,too! On a cool,damp day the Seafood Ramen soup is to die for!! YUMM!!
