Kingyo Izakaya

One of Vancouver's classic izakaya restaurants along with Guu and Hapa Izakaya. I love pretty much every thing that I order there, whether it is the ebi mayo or grilled saba or one of their house sushi roll creations. They also serve bamboo sake in the real bamboo cups which you don't see in too many other japanese restaurants in Vancouver. It's a little pricey so I wouldn't eat there all the time, but on the few occassions that I do I absolutely love the food! The restaurant is very busy and some times you have to wait a long time to get your food, but the wait staff are very friendly and the food is worth it. They don't take reservations so if you plan to eat there, try to get there early to beat the dinner rush.
