Sockeye Sushi – Downtown Victoria

July 10th, 2009

When Ahn Sushi near Broughton and Blanshard closed down a few years ago…  no joke, a little piece of me died.  Actually, despair.  Despair was what I felt – and for a very good reason as well; this potentially meant the end for quality fusion Japanese food.  I’ve had many fond memories of the quaint little shop tucked around the corner there, but sadly it’s been so long that I can’t remember what the menu was like.  I just knew that every time I went, it was guaranteed good times.

Enter Sockeye Sushi.  On Johnson.  Across from the ghetto sketch bus stop. » More: Sockeye Sushi – Downtown Victoria

Yume Japanese Cuisine – Downtown Vancouver

July 9th, 2009


Deciding on lunch at work is always a challenge especially when my choices are extremely limited. There’s Subway, Taco del Mar, Tim Horton’s, A&W, or the nearby mall food court. What do all these have in common? Fast food and not so healthy. Unfortunately I find myself at A&W the most of out all those mentioned. Mostly due to the fact that my break is only 30 minutes. Yume Japanese Cuisine located on the corner of Dunsmuir and Seymour was nearby so I gave it a go. As soon as I entered, I was greeted and seated promptly. Tea was also given promptly. I couldn’t help but to notice the interior hasn’t been renovated to suit the type of cuisine. It looked like a small pub but a lot a lot brighter. Due to my time limitation, I quickly ordered bento box A($9.95). It came with miso soup, teriyaki chicken on a bed of rice, green salad, 8 pieces of california roll, prawn, yam and squash tempura. » More: Yume Japanese Cuisine – Downtown Vancouver
