A sharp-eyed reader named “Kevin” got the answer to the first picture presented in this post (a wall detail shot in Everything Cafe) just a few minutes after we posted it. I’ve therefore put up another, which I think might prove a little bit more of a challenge. If you missed the last one from a couple days ago, it was Timbre on Commercial (what, not even you, Pablito?). Your new guesses after the jump…
Everything cafe, yo
Jeez. You people are good at this…
I’ve traded the Everything Cafe shot for a new one.
Guu?
Negative. I’ll chime in again when someone gets it. Good luck.
Is it Santouka Ramen on Robson?
Kakurenbo on robson
Damn you Bryant and your confounded time zone advantage! Kakurenbo is correct.
Bao bai
This ship has sailed…to Kakurenbo.
I sat at that counter many times with the chef Shori, so I knows that counter by heart ! Missed the Japanese food from Vancouver !
From what I hear (and have observed), Kakurenbo has been closed for about 2 months. The ownership group had a falling out, staff weren’t paid (and walked out) and one of the owners is quite ill. Too bad. They had brought on a couple of guys on from Guu who wanted to raise their game and thought Kakurenbo would provide them a venue to do so (they were making great strides). In the end, they were left in a situation where they couldn’t continue. As far as I know, it still sits papered up with an “under renovations” sign in the window.
Kakurenbou on Jervice at Robson. He is also my friend. 🙂
