Urban Thai (1119 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, Phone 604-408-7788) is a bustling, spacious, and cozily decorated Thai restaurant in the heart of Vancouver’s Yaletown shopping and restaurant district. Yaletown is known for its upscale restaurants, where it is not uncommon to walk into a restaurant and find the average entree price is $30. Urban Thai bucks the norm and aims to please with a very reasonably priced lunch special that includes a salad, spring roll, and entree served with rice. My total bill including tax and tip came to $9.00. There is quite a number of lunch selections to choose from; I enjoyed the chicken with bamboo shoots which was fairly spicy!!

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Burnaby. Reasonable prices, generous portions, excellent quality.

The “Awesome Roll” is a colorful explosion of basically a California Roll, topped with masago, miso flakes, and Japanese mayo. Highly recommended.

Ebi Sunomono Salad is a cold salad made with vermicelli noodles, a tangy sweet broth, slices of red cabbage and carrots, and lots of shrimp on top.

Chopped Scallop Roll is one of my favorites.
