201-800 Carnarvon Street, New Westminster
TASTE: 3/5 SERVICE: 4/5 PRICE: $$ If you're looking for something different, quirky, and new, then I would highly suggest going for Mexican in New West. You heard me. Stemming from their original cafe in Port Moody, Original's Restaurante Mexicano is a new Mexican restaurant adding to the diversity of food choices in New Westminster. Conveniently located at the New West skytrain station, Original's has a wide expanse with lots of space to sit down in it's cozy, candlelit dining area. After much debate and searching, my friends and I literally stumbled upon the restaurant and went inside to give it a try. I had a chicken taco and flautas, which are basically Tacquitos (remember those?), and my friends and I shared a chocolate cake and, to be really bold and adventurous, fried plantains. Our food came relatively quick and it was delicious. However, I think because it is a fairly new restaurant, it has yet to pick up a following. That night it was pretty empty, so we got served pretty much immediately. But if you like Mexican food and live in New West or the surrounding area and don't want to go downtown, then head down to Original's and give it a shot! One day I'll also make it out to Port Moody to their cafe as well.

TASTE: 3/5 SERVICE: 4/5 PRICE: $ As part of spontaneous dinner date that was nice and close, the reason why I wanted to go to Ki Sushi was solely for the Angel Roll - but I digress. Elaine and I started with a takoyaki, and followed it up with a spicy oyster roll, a house roll and the Angel roll. My favourite roll was probably the spicy oyster, something that I have never tried before in any other Japanese restaurant. But the other thing that I have never had was ice cream on sushi, also known as the Angel Roll. Green tea, mango and coconut ice cream over top of a cucumber, mango and avocado roll. I have to say that the sweet and savoury, soft ice cream and rice was a weird feeling but nonetheless, I commend Ki Sushi for something so innovative. The rolls were good but not exceptional, but the prices were definitely affordable. Worth trying and going back to! *Note: my sister went recently to Ki Sushi and told me that the Angel Roll (below, right with ice cream) is no longer served on the menu. Sorry about that!! |
