Neha "No Beans" T.'s Profile

My husband and I still love coming here 3 years later (true story: he asked me if I would be his girlfriend at this very restaurant years ago). The waitress is always super sweet and I love that they offer us free ice cream. This is like a mom & pops sushi restaurant and we've been happy with everything we've ordered whether it's sashimi, nigiri roll, or bento boxes. A+ from me :)

I have been here a few times with my husband and have enjoyed our food. Last night, we had the baked salmon roll and that was delicious. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable, and I like that their roll come 6-8 to the order for most. The staff is usually pretty friendly and the service is very prompt. The only issue is sometimes finding parking nearby this block can be difficult. The good news is they do take take-out orders, so you could call ahead.

L' Hermitage was recommended to me by one of my best friends and all I can say is that she was right on! Not only is it within walking distance of everything that is great in Vancouver, but the staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful and they were nice enough to upgrade my brother, wife and baby into a room with a kitchen and washer/dryer. The pool area was nice and I was able to relax in the sauna as well. Hippo the bulldog was adorable and I was envious of the people I saw going into the residential tower--they are so lucky to live here! Next time I visit Vancouver, I will definitely stay at L'Hermitage again.

Stumbled upon this great place last night and automatically loved it! It reminded me very much of pubs/restaurants I visited in Vancouver--there is a very cool vibe here. Many of the bars around town are either too lounge-like or like a place I would go if I was 21; OL is definitely more my pace.  My husband is a beer aficionado and we were able to find some great bottled beers to bring back home. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful and suggested some nice selections to try based on what we liked. I will definitely be bringing any of my out-of-town guests to OL and will be going back myself!

My husband and I recently started going to Manzanita for acupuncture, thanks to a groupon. Neither of us had experienced acupuncture before and I was scared that it would be painful. All of my worries melted away after we were greeted by Shoshana's warm smile. She has a very gentle touch, and seems to genuinely care about healing us. We continue to see her every week and here treatment with herbs has helped me leave my prescription drugs behind. I strongly recommend Shoshana, she is a kind woman with a great talent of healing.

I wanted to get some sushi before an event, and Wayo was on the well...way(o) to the venue. The Philadelphia roll was amongst the best I've had, and the Dynamite roll with tart Ponzu was excellent. Even the miso soup and sunomono were fantastic! Every thing at Wayo was incredibly fresh, and the staff was accomodating + friendly. I look forward to coming here again, and trying the mango rolls. Make sure to check out the specials before you order!

What can I say about Dom and his team that hasn't already been admittedly it's hard! Coming from a production background, I was looking for someone who could live up to my standards of video creation. I not only wanted everything filmed in HD, but also wanted to be able to get a Blu-ray disk and had some special needs as well--all on budget, of course. Dom delivered this with pizazz! Even though he is not Indian, he captured all the important parts of my Hindu ceremony and divided up the chapters perfectly. His editing to music is superb, and I very much enjoyed the music video and fun lip-dub that he produced! My wedding was cold and wet (gotta love that November rain!), but Dom's video team worked like pros despite the crazy conditions.  Bay area VDO made everything seem even more beautiful than I remember, and I would recommend them to anyone, even the nit-pickiest of brides. Trust me, just tell Dom how you want to remember your wedding day and he will make it happen. I appreciate the effort he put into understanding my culture and making a video that I will cherish for a lifetime.

I went to Cream last night after a Sushi dinner up the street. I didn't want to wait in the long line, but boy am I glad I did!

The ambiance of the place is great--sure it's tiny, but the friendly staff and blazing hip-hop beats were very inviting. I ordered chocolate chip cookies (warm) with one scoop of caramel ice cream. It was incredibly delicious and the perfect size. Plus, for $1.50 you really can't go wrong!

Also, it wasn't too sweet or heavy and the service was great. I would highly recommend checking out cream if you have a sweet tooth or enjoy cookies/ice cream.

It's not exactly fair (for my waistline) that Little Skillet is just one alley over from where I work in San Francisco. Every morning, I walk by the aroma of Little Skillet which makes it hard to resist for lunch time. I usually order the 1 piece chicken and waffle, which is superb. They also have great biscuits, especially the brown sugar and pepper seasoned biscuits which I always get as well. Altogether, I would say that I've never eaten Little Skillet without being satisfied! The downsides are the long lines, no seating, and I have yet to have a good side (the coleslaw, etc. aren't so good). Despite all that, I still love me some Little Skillet as a Friday lunch treat!

I've passed by Silk Road many times in the past, but never stopped to try it. That day finally came on a sunny Saturday afternoon when I was attracted by their porch seating. We ordered the sampler style appetizer, which included dolmas, hummus, pita, and olives--all were good. For the entree, we ordered the skewer chicken with rice. The chicken was tender and had a gorgeous tandoori flavor. The portion size was also not overwhelming, but the price was! It's a little expensive for lunch, but the Silk Road does deliver succulent Mediterranean eats.
