麻豆传媒映画

First came the sushi place...then the izakayas...now it's ramen. 聽麻豆传媒映画loves it's Japanese food. 聽A recent example of this is the 500 block of Robson which used to house Cafe S'il Vous Plait, now has a Beard Papas, Kushi Box, the yet to open Japadog flagship restaurant, and the recently opened Gyudonya. 聽They just took over.....

At first I thought Gyudonya was a new ramen place which shows you how well I understand Japanese. 聽When I found out it was actually a 'beef bowl' place I was disappointed. 聽Beef bowl? 聽Like Teriyaki bowl? 聽I had bad memories of that time I made the mistake of ordering one from Jack 'n the Box. 聽It was just wrong.

The construction seemed to take forever though and longer it took, the more open I became to trying it. 聽Finally last week I had a chance to get down there at lunch.

Now I love as much as the next dude, but my initial comparisons to a teriyaki bowl, like something you'd get from Edo were way off. 聽It's alot more like , the sauce is much more light. 聽I know in the pictures it looks quite heavy, but the meal really isn't, the beef is cut very thin and the rice is so FLUFFY! 聽It's like remember that time when you first went to your favourite sushi place and realized that all rice wasn't created equal, this was another one of those moments.

They keep a real simple menu which ensures the food comes to you relatively quickly considering how packed it was. 聽Chicken, beef, and curry, with the beef bowl starting at about $5 for the basic bowl. 聽 The pickles and soup are another couple bucks but round out the flavour nicely and make your lunch that much more special.

They seem to do as much of a take out business as they do eat in, so don't let the huge line at the front scare you off. 聽I'm not sure the rice bowl craze will surpass Vancouver's but I know I'll be hitting this place up regularly.
