Portrait

The rumours have been swirling for a spell, but it’s official: Yaletown’s Goldfish will close for good this Sunday. The following note will be released shortly…

We would like to say a sincere thank you for your loyal patronage over the years. Goldfish will officially say farewell to Yaletown as of Sunday, February 5, 2012. We are making way for an exciting new concept at the 1118 Mainland St location in Summer with a new operator. We hope you’ll come down and join us in celebrating our restaurant during its last week before our famed bacon fried rice, short ribs, an seafood dishes are gone forever. We encourage guests with a valid gift certificates to visit Goldfish before February 5th. Thank you once again for making these a memorable five years!

Sincerely,

Thomas, Shon, and the entire Goldfish team.

    Go well, everyone. We hope you all land on your feet running. The “new operator” is the same company that brought us the under-sung sushi joint, Miku.

    2. As a lesson to Restaurants. When you try to cater for the “in crowd” at inception, remember how fickle they are. Try to understand that they will not pay your bills on a rainy Tuesday evening. Focus on the quality of your food and not obssess about having pretty bottoms on seats on a friday night. In addition having an Ice cold ‘Hostess’ on your door behaving as though you are entering a nightclub, does not encourage people that have come to eat feel welcome. I knew that it would only be a matter of time……………

    3. Hey Lee Cleary,
      Do you realize your comment makes you sound like a douche bag?

    4. As a fellow retaurateur in yaletown i want to wish you good luck in your future endeavors. we will miss you as a neighbour and will definitely miss your famous happy hour!

    Vancouver’s Best Japanese Curries, Our Favourites Mapped

    Japanese curry doesn’t chase the spotlight the way ramen or gyoza do, but it has always been one of Japan’s most reliable comfort meals: hot, filling, and easy on the wallet. With Vancouver’s cooler weather still lingering, it’s exactly the kind of satisfying bowl that hits the spot.
