2328 Cambie Street, Vancouver
I have to give props to Shishinori for bringing a fresh new twist on Japanese food. Sitting at the intersection of Cambie and West 7th, Shishinori is a quaint little restaurant that has minimalistic furniture and extra festive Christmas decorations. Shishinori boasts "healthy eating", and all their dishes are chock filled with vegetables and uses brown rice and whole wheat bread. I have to say that I did feel pretty clean after lunch! The other thing that Shishinori is known for is matcha, matcha everywhere: their matcha soft serve parfaits are super popular with patrons, and it is something that I will try the next time I go! The two kinds of entrees you can get are their subs, which are all under $5, or their bowls (which are actually served on plates), which range from $9-$12. You can add $2.50 to the bowls and make it a meal, and that gets you a drink and side soup or dessert of the day. Eleanor and I opted to go drink (midnight in Paris, aka lavender tea) and dessert (matcha pudding) with our real crab meat California bowl, and a cream cheese and beef teriyaki sub. The food was incredible, filled with veggies and actual real crab meat! Everything tasted really fresh and was seasoned great. Even the odd things that I thought wouldn't go (apples in rice? beets? grapes in the salad?!) all fit together in harmony (so cliche) and was really delicious. The matcha pudding was also a hit, not too sweet and not too strong. I will definitely go back to Shishinori to try out their other dishes, and also their brunch items that they serve until the late afternoon. Because it is a small place, you may have to wait for a table, especially during peak hours. In the end though, I think it's worth it!
