Help for this weekend!

[LEdlund]

How about if we go to George before dinner and Nu after?

That sounds great! We might only be able to drop by briefly at Nu though, since I have to work at 9am Sunday morning...

I guess we can't convince you to do dim sum in Richmond, eh?    In that case, I'd go for Kirin on Cambie or Red Star on Granville and W. 67th Ave.  Red Star doesn't get much mention on our forum, but I think the quality and variety of dim sum are quite good.  Make sure you get the roast duck and/or soya-sauce chicken.

Since we're in town for less than 24 hours and have quite the list of places to go (shopping-wise in addition to food-wise) we decided to stick to Vancouver. Next time it will be Richmond for sure!

So is Red Star have cart or menu service?

Red Star has menu service, and while a convenient choice for me location-wise, Kirin is actually much better for quality. (Nothing wrong with Red Star, but Kirin is IMO one of the best if not the best for dim sum in town.)

I'm curious to hear about Nu. After Jay's departure, who is handling the bar? How will it stack up? Inquiring minds...

Hi folks. This is just a reminder to make your plans via PM or email - not in the topic.

Thanks,

I think we've settled on Kirin for dim sum. I'm very excited for that.

Tell me more about Nu. Who's Jay and where did he go? Should we be going there instead?

Thanks for the ramen suggestions guys! Loved Kintaro! We had the Forest Fire Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen, god I love real ramen.

Yes, thanks for the suggestions!

We had a fantastic, leisurely lunch at Mistral on Saturday. Everything was so good! The favorites at the table were the extra buttery squash soup, the pate's and the desserts.

George was the perfect place for us to go for cocktails. They have an extensive cocktail menu which includes classics as well as "new" cocktails. Our waitress was the best. She even called Feenie's to move our reservation when we ran up against it! We didnt' make it to Nu after dinner, so we'll have to go there on the next trip.

Thanks!
