  Russ's Thai Recommendation:

 I actually went to a Thai place yesterday that I have been going to for a while. BEST Thai place I have been to. The cook there used to cook for the king of thailand. The place is also the only place in canada that meets certain thai decoration standards.

      Do you mean Memphis Blues for your meats? I found teh one on Broadway to be wanting. Theres another on on Commercial Ave that I like better. Right by Kitchener and Commercial.    

[greycat]

I agree! Antons and Stephos are the best! Still have to find a good dim sum place though (not too expensive but lots of variety)...any suggestions?

[weird al]

Friends of mine from mainland China always speak highly of the Fortune House in Metrotown (or is it Eaton's Centre) mall. Good, clean and consistent. I'm not a dim sum fan really, but I've been there and they're fine.

[purelife]

Pink Pearl on East Hastings is one of the best dim sum places.  My mom has been to the Fortune House in Metrotown and said that their dim sum isn't as great as it was made out to be.  The one called Pink Pearl is the better one.

  When you go to Stepho's, Russ, make sure you try the Roast Lamb.  It's $9.50. It's the best!  Don't bother with getting appy's.  You won't be able to finish your meal if you do.

  Annapurna is in the Entertainment Book.  I liked their authentic chai tea.  You've got to try that as well if you're into homemade Chai tea.  I had their spinach tofu dish and that was excellent.  

  Yeah, it's Memphis Blues.

Great thread, purelife!!

  I don't know if I would recommend Samurai Sushi. I mean, the portions are huge but the quality is questionable. The two times I was there, I found the rice to be poorly made and the wait for your food in that cramp place unbelievable. Still, if you want something filling then Samurai Sushi is for you.

  My ultimate favorite Japanese Restaurant will have to be Tomokazu on  W. Broadway for all-u-can-eat. There's a wide variety of raw sashimi if you're into that kinda stuff. Another excellent restaurant is Fish on Rice, Kingsway - they have a wonderful selection of robata/grilled stuff.

[Lise]

My favorite dim sum place is Kirin Seafood in Richmond. Excellent dim sum and worth the price.

  For cheap, Big Lai, Kingsway is ok but the service sucks. Another alternative is trying the dim sum at T & T, really cheap for under $2.00.

[Russ]

I <think> I have been to big lai on kingsway. It was somewhere along kingsway.

  As for Samurai sushi, I have heard that from a few people. but at the same time a number of us like it. I think its great.. I suppose I can take it off my post if a few people want me to?

Russ, dude... you read too much into these things. Gotta love ya, my boy.

  Leave your comments there for all to read. That's what make this a wonderful forum as we all have different opinions and likes.
