DISCO CHEETAH
1863 Davie Street – West End, 604.423.3574
discocheetah.com
Distance: 10-minute walk
Price: Bowls ~$20
After starting as a popular food truck (which still roams the city’s farmer’s markets!), Disco Cheetah serves up Korean-inspired bowls that are highly customizable, depending on whether you’re feeling virtuous (greens topped with tofu cauliflower and veggies) or hungover (their Disco Poutine with crispy chicken)

SOODA
60 West Cordova Street – Gastown, 604.242.3624
soodagastown.com
Distance: 30-minute walk, 8-minute drive
Price: Single-serve mains ~ $18, Sooda box ~$30
This Korean BBQ is perfect for groups looking for a casual vibe and delicious food to share. Korean classics like bulgogi and japchae are there, but where Sooda really shines is the “Sooda Box” – a half-metre-long log of rice topped with torched steak tartar and various sauces.

TORAFUKU
958 Main Street – Chinatown, 778.903.2006
torafuku.ca
Distance: 30-minute walk, 10-minute drive
Price: small plates ~ $17 – $23, large plates ~ $50
What started as the spin-off of a super-popular food truck 10 years ago, Torafuku has blossomed into a bona fide pan-Asian fusion space with dishes that take inspiration from around the continent. For a quick bite, try their legendary chicken wings and a cocktail. For a bigger commitment, the seven-course anniversary tasting menu for two at $79/person is a great deal.
