Foody Goody

Candia Taverna serves delicious Greek Food in the Sasamat area. Their menu features large portions of food at reasonable prices (a big plate that can be shared by 2 somewhat hungry people for 12 dollars).

They also serve Ouzo but it's pricey at ~4 dollars a shot.

You will love the atmosphere which is both cozy and unique. The staff is friendly and most importantly, the food is delicious. The desserts are rumored to be made by the staff in the kitchen rather than bought in.

The Frog & Firkin is an English neighborhood restaurant which has good drinks and food for reasonable prices.
They will always have drinks on special (Friday night is Rickard's and China White and Jagermeister shots). They also have a specials menu with varying dishes changing.

The atmosphere is very comfy and most of the servers are fantastic.
The food is good for English food. They have a large variety of appetizers, burgers, salads and other entrees.

I would recommend the Barbeque Half Chicken for $11.95. In addition to the BBQ Half Chicken, there is fries and onion tangles which can be change to a salad if desired.
They also have Mussels available with the sauces changing occasionally. The last one I had (which was in a sweet curry sauce) were delicious and somewhat light. You get a big bowl of mussels stacked high for $9.99.

In terms of Appetizers, I would recommend the Nachos (which come in full and half orders), the Onion Tangles (with their Firkin dip) and their sweet potato fries (which are delicious with the sauce).

I would not recommend the Calamari because it's not consistent and is sometimes soggy. Get some Calamari from a Greek place instead.

Overall Capricorn is really good. It has tons of different kinds of food at reasonable prices. The Swordfish at $15.95 is amazing and comes in a cream sauce with carrots, other vegetables and garlic bread.

From the outside, this place doesn't look very good but once you go inside, you will find very hip decor. On one side of the restaurant you can lounge in comfy chairs or otherwise sit in these awesome-looking (but not good on the back) wooden chairs.

I also had the Lamb chops last week and they were just as delicious that I was left wanting more.

The place is family owned and so there is a laissez-faire feeling with regards to service. However, if you come in early and you are waiting for others they will give you free watermelon slices because of the summer heat.

The only bad thing is because it is near the hospital most of the surrounding area has metered parking. The parking behind the restaurant also is pay. However, if you are willing to walk up/down the steep hill or walk 1 or 2 blocks away there is free parking.

They also have a website which you may want to add http://www.capricornonline.com/

Dentry's is nice. It's an alternative to the on-campus pubs at UBC. The food is pretty good and their wings are awesome. If you want the pubbing experience, this is the place to go.

Last time I went we had to call the waitress over, but she was nice and it was all good.

I finally had a chance to go to Hamilton Street Grill last weekend. I had the Fish and Chips for dinner which cost $18. The sweet potato fries were quite long and yummy. Combined with the chipotle mayo sauce, they made a good side dish. The mixed salad was made quite well and I enjoyed every part of the salad. The bread that came before dinner was also delicious. The butter wasn't really melting though but *shrug* I'd rather have it that way than at a dangerous temperature.

I was unfortunately disappointed by the cornmeal crusted halibut. It was tiny in comparison to the other side dishes and it offered a reminder of fish I had experience eating at Asian tea restaurants (the cheaper restaurants). There was only 1 piece of halibut which again was tiny.

Other than the greatly disappointing fish, the atmosphere and the other parts of my meal were delicious. I did not order anything else but the chocolate fondue looked delicious. If I go back again I'll definitely try something else or something else with those delicious side dishes :)

One of the better restaurants near the UBC campus for delicious food. Some Kinda pasta uses the freshest ingredients and it shows through the final product. Lunch pastas are $10** but they are the size of dinner pastas. I just had the Mussels & Clams with a Seafood Stock Reduction. It was incredibly delicious. The sauce was just the right combination. Not too watery, not too thick. Absolutely delicious!

The waitresses are always nice and the chef is quite dedicated. The daily stuffed pasta at lunch is 12 dollars which includes the stuffed pasta and an italian green salad. It is absolutely filling and quite healthy.

Overall, I absolutely love this place for its convenience to UBC and it's never too busy so the service is fantastic. It also has a very home-like feel.

**Since my last review, the lunch prices have gone up to $12

This place was okay when it first open but I have gone back for a year and a half because the last experience I had was very poor.

The customer service is not so good and they just come and slam the food down on your table and rush off. The food quality is okay, nothing impressive is sorta on par with the likes of sui sha ya.

There's a reason why my friends and I have nicknamed this place: "Kisha poo poo".

I'd rather drive the extra 8 mins away from Ironwood to the more centralized Richmond area to eat something decent.

Feenie's is delicious but at a reasonable cost. Earl's and Milestones tend to hype up their food creations but include an Asian fusion cuisine element which I would not usually pursue as there is good Asian food elsewhere. The Feenie weenie, Feenie burger and Shepherd's pie is delicious if you're looking for some cheap to fill up your stomach while chatting with friends. The poutine is okay but it's not worth it to have a side order of it for 9 dollars but rather, it's more worth it to pair it with the burger and add 3 dollars more for poutine. Overall, Feenie's a nice place to go to and their patio is always full at lunch during the summer time. However, there is increasing competition from other places in the area which puts the pressure on Feenie's to perform.

The price is a little bit higher than the other restaurants around (Moderne Burger, White Spot) but it shows through somewhat in the quality of the food.

Mmmmm! The sashimi from Samurai is the biggest I've ever seen in this city! The food is really delicious and even the rolls are huge. For a bit of everything, try a half an order of the House Roll. You'll definitely be full and satisfied!

A party tray B for $20 is enough to feed 5 people for lunch. It's definitely a great deal and I've bussed over there from UBC just to get lunch/dinner.

They have free tea available too while you're waiting or having your meal.

Note that additional plates for takeout is 5 cents extra each if you're planning to take something out like a party tray.

I've never had a problem with an advanced order, it was usually ready 10-15 minutes before my designated time or about 5 minutes after the designated time. Of course, I usually go when they open so it doesn't get too too busy. It does get pretty busy around dinner and lunch times though (the place is packed with people waiting for take out or eating).

10% off if you order 1 day in advance
5% off if you order 2 hours in advance

I remember one time that 2 friends of mine and I bought a party tray but Samurai was completely packed so we brought the party tray b over to the Oakridge food court to eat it and buy drinks. People were looking at us funny but at least 1 person came up to us and asked: "Where did you get *that*?!" and we were like: "From across the street at Samurai!" and he dashed off to go find the huge sushi

Oh yes Cheesecake Etc.! I came here last time after eating at Rugby Club for 2 hours and we had decided none of the dessert's on Rugby's menu appealed to us. The cheesecake is a little bit pricier than what you pay for something you bought in a grocery store but the quality definitely shined through. My friends had a cappuccino too and they enjoyed their experience. This is definitely the place to be to chat though I found the music a little loud at times.

Very quaint place and very lovely. :)

This place is delicious! It is a bit pricier than a regular restaurant as they specialize in Izakaya. Their skewers are the best!! If you do not know what you want in terms of skewers initially, get the set of skewers and you will be satisfied! The agedashi tofu is absolutely delicious. To fill up, I had this with a large bowl of don. Which don escapes me now. It worked out pretty well and I was full after that delicious meal.
They provided complimentary Miso soup at the end of the meal and they have you fill out a customer satisfaction survey including questions like: Best smile ?
I definitely recommend this place. Plenty of pay parking across the street! :) It can get pretty loud and crowded on the weekends though.
