Where to Stay and Eat in Vancouver

"Hidden through the glass doors of a print shop and tucked into the corner of an unrelated restaurant, this humble five-seat counter proves you should not judge a book by its cover; the plain room comes alive through Chef Yoji Masuda's meticulous, artfully simple preparations and the warm, attentive hospitality of his wife Akari, progressing from an indulgent savory 'pudding' of sweet monkfish liver to wonderfully gelatinous beltfish cooked with sake and kombu, before culminating in impeccable nigiri that showcase exceptional ingredients with singular delicacy and precision." - Kevin Chau
