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.

Ezogiku Noodle Cafe (270 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone 604-685-9466) serves bowls of hot, steaming Japanese ramen noodle soup. A bowl of ramen soup costs around $7.25 plus tax, and you can also order some appetizers such as pan fried gyoza dumplings. I enjoyed the Kimchi Ramen (pictured below), which featured the traditional Korean spicy cabbage as well as barbecued pork.

Ezogiku Noodle Cafe is located near the Vancouver main library downtown, as well as BC Place Stadium, home of the BC Lions Football team. It’s also a short walk from GM Place Stadium, home of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. The restaurant is within easy walking distance of hotels such as the Rosedale on Robson, Westin Grand, and the Hampton Inn and Suites.

Ebi Ten Japanese Fast Food (388 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-689-9938) is a small, bright and efficient fast-food restaurant across from the Vancouver Main Library downtown and the Vancouver Westin Grand hotel.

At Ebi Ten you’ll find prepared California rolls and other sushi at really reasonable prices (in the $2 to $3 range), and if you’re in the mood for something fancier they will also make sushi on order. Another great choice is the Chicken Teriyaki bowl (pictured below, $5.94 before tax), which is served with either miso soup or a soft drink.

It’s cheap, it’s fast and its run by Japanese students. Food here is really cheap and for $10 you can fill up on a great meal for lunch or dinner. Also a great place to get a snack before the Canucks game. I always stop here when in the area and wanting a quick meal.

The restaurant usually bustles with energy during lunch hour, but never fear, the line-up will move quickly!
