Ridiculously named Vancouver restaurants

[chocomoo]

There's an "I Love Sushi" right here in our beloved province - in Richmond, to be exact. It's on Westminster Highway, across from the Richmond Public Market in one of those strip malls. At least, it was there last month... Apparently the sushi's pretty cheap there - I've been once, but I don't remember what it was like.

Oh almost forgot another one.

Wong Kee Wonton House on Quebec and Broadway (not sure if its still there)

I've always wondered what "Wonky wontons" would taste like.

Richmond is out of province, and even out of country for that matter. That's what makes it such a fun place to visit and go for food. (I grew up in Richmond before it became annexed.)

My Vancouver Top-40 (or so).

They might range from the homely to the twee, from the Jewish-Japanese fusion found at Hime Japanese Restaurant to the reassuringly (if unimaginatively) named Tasty Hungarian Goulash Restaurant, but all ask the same question-- "Was this really a good idea?"

After reading Jamie's list all I can say is thank god for restaurant marketers. Cate Simpson and Sue Alexander thank you in advance if you help decide on restaurant names.

Cheers,

I don't know if it's still there, but my friend mentioned that they had a "Queen's" Chinese restaurant on Davie street? Don't know if this is intentional.

Oh, how could I have forgotten one of my all-time favourites when I started this thread? The pizza joint on Cornwall half a block east of Yew - which was Sgt. Pepperoni's for a good long time - became Beaver's Pizza a few years back, though I believe it has changed nomenclature once again.

Anyway, back in the Beaver's period my friend Craig and I would amuse hourselves for hours (well, ok, minutes) coming up with slogans for the place, like "Eat out at Beaver's tonight" and "How about a hot slice of Beaver's?".

Wow, this thread is making me laugh!

There's a restaurant in Bellevue, WA called "What the Pho?"
