A reviewer on Dinehere.ca writes (click here for review link):

The ambiance is great[…] Cactus Club is consistent across town with the edamame, curly fries and salads being my favourite. It is a great place to meet a buddy for a quick bite or catch up over a drink and appies. The prices are reasonable and the food quality satisfactory.

Pictured below is the Cedar Roasted Salmon entree (priced around $23), fresh steelhead salmon with a pine nut parmesan crust, served on a cedar plank with roasted vegetables and herb and feta fingerling potatoes. Delicious!

Also check out their West Vancouver location with live music.

Vana Vietnamese Cuisine is a fast food vendor at the Tinseltown mall (view map, address: 88 W Pender, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-806-0799), on the level below the movie theatres (which, incidentally have discounted movies on Tuesdays, for $8.75 a ticket). 

The food court is cash only, but some great deals can be had here, including the Vietnamese crepes with salad (pictured below, around $5.50). There is also an excellent Korean/Chinese fusion full-service sit-down restaurant in the mall called Wild Ginger (click here for review).

For more info on the mall’s location and food court, please visit my previous review (click here). It’s located really close to GM Place Stadium, the Stadium skytrain station, and BC Place Stadium downtown, on the border between the main downtown area and Chinatown / downtown east side.

Kuroshio Sushi Express (1011 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone 604-623-3388) serves take-out sushi rolls at rock bottom prices. They’re located at the corner of Granville and Nelson in downtown Vancouver, right in the middle of the Granville street entertainment and night-club district. The restaurant is open late: until 3:00am every day.

Enjoy a “sushi burrito” for just $1.88 – it makes a great late-night snack after dancing all evening at the club. Pictured below is the Chopped Scallop California Combo ($6.50 including tax). They also offer sashimi ($6.00), nigiri sushi ($1 to $2 per piece), miso soup ($0.50), ebi sunomono salad ($2.75) and various other sushi combinations.
