Prima Taste Restaurant (570 Robson St. Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-685-7881) serves authentic Singaporean cuisine in a modern, stylish Robson street location, just east of the Future Shop on Granville and Robson. I enjoyed the Seafood Platter ($17.95, pictured below) which included a wonderful selection of seafood including prawns and squid, as well as spring rolls, rice, a tasty Singaporean condiment served cold (that I think was made of chilis), and a garnish of carrot.

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

I had lived in Singapore for 30 years before transplanting myself to Vancouver. For years I craved the savoury and south-east Asian flavors that uniquely belonged to Singapore, because of its modernity and ability to fuse cosmopolitan flavors. Anyway, I got really excited when I heard that this new restaurant opened. I had been disappointed many times by establishments flaunting the “Singapore” brand of food […] TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY CHEEKS and dripped into my soup as the first spoonful of Hainanese Chicken Rice entered my mouth…My only complaint is that the condiments of chilli, dark soy and ginger were too little.

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.

Kiroshiu Sushi Express is a small takeout sushi restaurant on the Granville strip downtown, across from the Cellar Night Club, next door to the Megabite Pizza (at Granville and Nelson in Vancouver, BC, Canada).

Prices are very reasonable: I ordered 12 pieces of maki for $5.25 including tax (pictured below). You can also get a sushi burrito for about $2.00 (click here for a photo of the Sushi Burrito). If you’re looking for a fast sushi fix and you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to drop by Kiroshiu Sushi Express.
