Checked out this pizza place after a long night of drinking in Vancouver (Yaletown).
Grabbed a pepperoni slice and a meat lover slice. Both were great, and reminded me of Pizza Hut (even the greasiness).
Banter Room
So this place is a sorta upscale bar and restaurant.
Cocktails here were pretty good (got a lychee drink, old fashioned and some random lunch, all of which were great).
We also got salute and pepper chicken wings, prawns and pork sliders. All were really good.

Checked out this Italian in hopes of eating some pasta. However, there was no pasta. Still a good place to eat.
We got the scallops for appetizers. Great choice. For my main, got the chicken. It was cooked perfectly (not dry at all). Also got the potatoes on the side.
For wine, I got something called the montecheubbsgd… (it was a black cherry type flavor). Thought it was interestingly light (but Ben said it’s because it doesn’t taste acidic.
Hana Michi
First meal of 2020.
I thought this place was great, with a good variety in their bulgogi bento box. I do think though it is a bit pricey (the below picture is $30, which is the price of some AYCE).
Obao (53rd St)
So we went here for New Years since I wanted Asian fusion. This place did not disappoint.
From below, all but 1 dish were amazing, and I would get them all again.
Some of the dishes below: pad see-ew, pad Thai, catfish, steamed dumplings, pork belly, and salt and pepper shrimp.
They also had lychee martinis 🙂
The one dish from below I didn’t like was the brown/red beef dish.
Thai Villa
An interesting Thai restaurant.
I got their lunch special, which includes a soup plus their version of sui mai, plus pad Thai. I thought the Pad Thai was ok.
Next time I think I’ll try their pad see-we.
Momosan Ramen and Sake
Great ramen place, that would also be good for dining solo.
I got their house ramen, with a side of a pork belly bun. Also grabbed a warm sake. All terrific.
Menkui-Tei
So probably won’t go back here.
The ramen was ok (I got their tonkatsu ramen). However, I ordered sui mai as a side, and it was cold on the inside!
Amici
A great Italian restaurant, with good food and a proper Italian atmosphere.
For the main course, I got the Ravioli di Aragosta (lobster and stuffed). Definitely happy with the meal.
For the desert, I got a crepe with ice cream. Also really good.
Slanted Door
This restaurant is great if you know what to order.
From what is pictured below, the crab noodles, the beef dish and the chicken spring rolls were great. I was not really a fan of the ribs or mussels.
In terms of drinks, the first one I ordered want great. The whisky sour though was terrific.
