In my heart, the No.1 izakaya in Greater Vancouver ๐ฅ The uni wagyu ri
๐ฎ Today, I'm recommending a Japanese izakaya I keep revisiting. Although new restaurants keep opening in Vancouver, this place has stood the test of time, won many awards, and is a must-visit in Greater Vancouver. ๐ Kingyo Izakaya ๐ ๐โโ๏ธ The dishes have been certified by Japanese friendsโyou can order blindly without worrying about misses. There's always a queue; if you walk in, you'll wait ages, so I book a week in advance. Here's my honest review: Extreme wagyu bowl (uni wagyu donburi) ๐๐๐๐ The appearance is lethal ๐ฅ The uni is sweet (not available every day; depends on the day), combined with generous wagyu and secret sauce. Take a big bite mixed with riceโ Wagyu otoro bowl (wagyu bluefin tuna donburi) ๐๐๐๐ Has bluefin tuna on top of the above (top-grade) in tuna. Rich in fat, no fishy taste, melts in your mouth. Aburi blue fin tuna sushi (grilled bluefin tuna sushi) ๐๐๐๐ The tuna is mashed, with ingredients randomly chosen by the chefโeach piece is a bit different. Anyone who tries it gets it; even friends who dislike sushi teared up eating three. Stone grilled kobe beef ๐๐๐โจ One of their hottest signatures ๐ Watching the meat sizzle on the stone is so satisfying. Delicious, but the portion is small. Drinks ๐๐๐๐ They have a huge drink selectionโalcohol lovers, don't miss it! I drove today, so I ordered non-alcoholic Kingyo Lemonade and Strawberry Soda๏ฝ Other popular dishes ๐๐๐๐ Deep Fried Fresh Corn, Uni Miso Udon ๐ highly recommended, Tan Tan Noodle ๐ Kingyo 871 Denman St, Vancouver #EatPlayVancouver #VancouverLife #JapaneseIzakaya #VancouverFood #CanadianFood
