Sushiyama. There are literally hundreds of sushi places in the GVRD. This one never called out to me. Until now. I was exchanging favourite places-to-nosh with a Love of Eating reader and Sushiyama came up as his go-to place when down on the coast. Sushiyama is in a convenient location for me as I find myself in this area of Broadway very often when I head down to Vancouver. I'm here for a few days...

Ding! Quittin' time! I head straight over to Sushiyama after work, and happily there is no line up. Obviously a very popular spot; the small restaurant filled to capacity within 20 minutes or so.

Assorted Sashimi (11.50)

Before my class started, I needed a snack. Taka was relatively close so I swung in. I was looking for slinkys* at the various dollar stores around town, and spotted Taka tucked in the corner of the Columbia Place Shopping Centre. For easier reference this is the same complex that has the Save On Foods and Signature BC Liquor Store.
*I toiled over the pluralization of slinky. The i-e-s ending just didn't look right.
