The call for ramen noodles came again so the gf and I headed DT for a late evening meal. The wait wasn't too long and seems most patrons dine quickly. Space is tiny (no more than 24 capacity) but works efficiently. Decor is a mix of Japanese and modern but the excess use of black is a little dreary.

My gf opted for her usual miso while I had the charcoal. They boast of using organic ingredients, so they have a superior starting point but put together the results were somewhat underwhelming in terms of flavour and depth. The soft boiled egg was done absolutely perfect while the noodles (with strong yellow hue) had good bite. I found both broths lacking richness, but again they boast about its health benefits so it made us feel like we were eating medicinal ingredients - cleansing. I enjoyed the charcoal flavour but was fairly subtle and certainly not overpowering. All in all, it's not bland but it also doesn't have a strong notes of flavour. By design, perhaps? Of all the ramen places we've gone to, this one didn't leave us thirsty afterwards.

Service was spartan at best. Friendly staff but our server had pretty rough english so best be keeping orders simple.

Their ramen seems to venture on their own path. It's a good bowl of noodles, but it's hard to rave about them after one try.

My first, second, and third visit to Daimasu in Burnaby were all fantastic over the past 2 months.

We had a party of 6, 8, and 5 respectively. Between all of us the servers were efficient, cleared used plates off of our table, and brought our fresh sashimi, cooked dishes, and soups in a timely fashion. As for the manager (dessert/pastry chef), he discussed his tasty dessert options as we all shared every single dessert that was offered.

If you love salad and sashimi, then try the Sashimi salad party size which should fill anyone up. The light mayonnaise type dressing makes the combination perfect.

All the other sashimi dishes were fresh. The cooked dishes, for example, oyster motoyaki, tempura, baked sushi rolls, and the rice bowls were great with the accompanying side sauces. An especially curious dish was a soup served in a little teacup with the tiniest bowl to drink from - the smell was robust and meaty but the soup flavour was comforting and hearty. The surprising part was that it was simply a broth (clear soup).

To end our meal with all the offered desserts pushed us over the edge of satisfaction and something to look forward to in the near future.

And as we were watching the Olympic hockey game of Canada versus ? to ensure the Gold medal round game against the USA, the restaurant's patrons' and employees' focus were distracted momentarily at the 'important' parts of the game, but again the staff was attentive to everyone's needs.

Thank you for wonderful experiences at your restaurant (that has ample free parking nearby on Kingsway or in the parkade by the way).

OK, I was there with a few people a few days ago and we had just ordered ours meals. I and another ordered an appy since eating lunch late beforehand but had intentions of ordering something more (either a drink or another appy to share) but we had seriously rude and bossy service by staff; they barked at us about ordering 'JUST an appy.' Hot tip for ya: just settle down and see what happens!! It took 1.5 hours to get our food!! (perhaps a sick kind of punishment) etc. This restaurant seems to have a good reputation (how, I have no idea) but since this experience perhaps they need some kind of reality check...BUSINESSES SURVIVE on customers - otherwise what is the flipping point??? You will never have a friend of mine or anyone I talk to on a regular basis at your restaurant!!*... others from what I can see are spreading the word as well! I wish Stefano's luck in the future and hope that they get their head out of the sand!

We had the pleasure of dining at Tojos 3 times over the past couple of months. We are new to the city and had heard that Tojos was worth a try. I had read some of the reviews and was a little bit skeptical about the quality and value of this restaurant. Much to my relief the food and service surpassed my expectations. If you appreciate the highest quality fish,exquisite flavours and stunning presentation, you will find all of this at Tojos! The Tuna Tataki was fantastic as well as the Halibut cheeks! We ordered the Omakase one night where Tojo provides you with his creations. Fantastic!!! Yes it was a little pricey but absolutely worth it!! The service was absolutely fantastic too- friendly and personable! Ambiance was average- nice!

I was in Horseshoe Bay, waiting for my bus, when I got hungry. I have always wanted to try Arigato and they were open for lunch. I got a seat by the window, was greeted by the owner who was friendly. I did find the prices a bit on the high side, but the food had tons of flavour and very fresh. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento box with Sashimi, california roll, salad and assortment of tempera. I was quite surprised the Tempera was crisp and tasted great, which is rare for me to like it. I loved the Tuna and Salmon Sashimi, fresh, cold with great flavour. The remaining meal, the Chicken Teriyaki and salad was delicious, and loved each bite. It definately hit the spot and was surprised how good the food was prepared.

I will be back, and nice place to enjoy a meal while watching the ferries come and go.

Been here a couple of times. Wings are pretty good. Not too sure if they still have the cheap wings every day the Canucks play! Had their 2 dollar Sunday breakfast(11am-1pm)the morning the Men won the Gold hockey game and it was a steal at the price(2 Eggs/2 Bacon/Hashbrowns/Toast). Service is on the slow side but NOT painfully slow. The waitresses seem like they are barely old enough to work in a pub so you end up getting eye candy and not that great of service. The flat panel TV's over the bar should be replaced as their picture quality is crap compared to the other TV's in the joint.

This place is great and definitely the best place in the brentwood area for Sushi. Fresh tasting rolls and very decent service, plus the decor is pretty nice - so if you have time to eat-in, the expereince is enjoyable.

For those who find the long wait annoying, try calling in your order and picking up - especially during lunchitme as there are several office buildings around and TONS of business people converge on it at noon.

Went to Guu for lunch for the first time today. I usually go there for dinner. I was quite disappointed at their menu, but decided to go for their special -- the dried spanish mackerel.

I suppose I didn't really know what I was getting into, because they served the fish whole, but it was so hard to eat because of all the bones that were in there. Entirely my fault though!

I decided to give this place a try after reading the positive reviews on here. This is a small shop squeezed between a bunch of other shops and it wasn't easy to find. The shop is quite small and dim but it was quite romantic so it would be perfect for a date. The server was very nice and patient as I was undecided on what to order. We ordered the sesame vanilla parfait and a honey milk tea to go. The milk tea is alright, nothing special but I absolutely loved the parfait. It consisted of vanilla ice-cream, sponge cake, mochi, black sesame, corn flakes and some whipped cream. My bf and I fought for every bite. I immediately wanted to go back for another one after I finished. As tasty as it was, the parfait was quite small and quite pricey at around $7. However, I would return just to try the other parfaits.

Thats the feeling you get coming in here.While the non whites surrounding us got what they wanted fast and hot,ours came at a miserable temperature,and sporadic at best.
Food was forgotten off the order,came at half portions that we ordered,and the more you mentioned it,the slower it got.

sadly,this is one of two AYCE sushi joints in Burnaby.
Try getting a dozen chicken wings from them in one order.

Also,not to mention the gut rot that is hounding me the day after.

I will never return,nor will i recommend this place to anyone.Ever.
