Tasting Journey #32 - Nikkyu Japanese Restaurant


Nikkyu Japanese Restaurant (二休)
3302 Main Street
Vancouver, BC V5V 3M7, Canada 
604.873.2220


Agnes and I were actually planning to try out Toshi, but as usual, we arrived at the wrong hour and the line up outside was crazy. With only 1.5 hour to spare and a craving for Japanese food, we stumbled upon this place.  A total mistake.

I recalled that we had ordered at least five dishes. We thought we had ordered too much, but we were wrong. We ate everything, and we weren't satisfied. I've only taken photos of the three dishes that was nicely displayed.  Taste on the other hand, was disappointing.

Of all the dishes we ordered, the only one that I recommend trying out is the sushi roll that is wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber.  It was light and refreshing.

Oyster motoyaki looked appealing from its well saturated colour. However, the taste was again, a disappointment.  Oyster was tiny, and the mayo batter was just not right.  It tasted too rich and felt like I was drinking lard.

Menu selection was extensive, but the quality was plain.  We ordered a bunch of dishes that looked interesting.  It was nicely displayed, but it wasn't appealing to the taste bud.



Price: ~$25/person
