🇨🇦 Sumibiyaki Arashi: Vancouver’s Elusive Yakitori Masterpiece
📍 Sumibiyaki Arashi 📌 363 E Broadway, Vancouver ✨ Why It’s Special: • Vancouver’s first yakitori speakeasy—only 14 counter seats per night. • Pete Ho’s 2-year passion project: No menu ($175/person), just 16 courses of chicken perfection (thighs, hearts, wings—all kissed by binchotan charcoal). • Obsession-level detail: Each skewer is slow-charred to crispy yet juicy bliss. 🎟️ Booking Hell (Worth It): • Reservations drop monthly (1st of each month)—gone in minutes. • Two seatings/night: 5:30PM & 8:30PM (set reminders!). 🍷 Vibe: • Silent intensity—watch chefs dance with fire at arm’s length. • Not a party spot: This is yakitori as high art. 🌟 Prediction: Michelin scouts will come for that crispy-skin, molten-heart chicken liver. #YakitoriHolyGrail #VancouverFoodElite
