🇨🇦 Vancouver's Quirky Japanese Spot: Crab-Claw Shumai?! 🦀🍥
Finally tried Plaza Toyokan—that crab-claw shumai had been haunting my feed! 📍 Location: Kitsilano (easy parking!) 🏮 Vibe: Tiny but insta-worthy—feels like a Tokyo izakaya! 🍽️ What We Ordered 🦀 Crab-Claw Shumai Visually stunning! Crab was sweet but slightly oversteamed. 🥚 Uni Chawanmushi (STEAL THE SHOW!) Tiny portion, HUGE flavor—silkiest egg custard ever. 🍗 Teriyaki Chicken Staff-recommended, but too salty for me. 🐚 Mussels & Clams Hot Pot Fresh seafood! Broth was salty (see a theme?), but the dashi-infused rice at the bottom = genius. 🍜 Uni Udon Topping uni was meh (rubbery + bland), but the noodle sauce saved it. 🦑 Tiny Squid Appetizer Literally bite-sized. 💡 Verdict • Great for photos, but portions run small • Uni egg custard = must-order • Salt-lovers will thrive #VancouverEats #JapaneseFood #HiddenGems #IzakayaVibes #FoodieAdventures #UniqueEats #Kitsilano #NoFilterNeeded
