E Bei

Occasion: Dinner with Tania, Warren and Kim (well, a second dinner for Tania and Warren)
Location: E Bei Japanese on Granville at W 41st Ave in Vancouver
Edibles: California roll; chopped scallop roll; assorted sashimi (salmon, tuna, some kind of whitefish, tako octopus and hokkigai surf clam)

Musings: My brother and his friends love the late night all-you-can-eat at this place, which costs something like $10. The regular dinner hour all-you-can-eat will run you $23. Since you can only order it as a table, and Tania and Warren had already eaten, I just ordered à la carte.

The tuna and hokkigai sashimi were fantastic (though not as fantastic as the specimens pictured to the left - not my plate). The other pieces were fresh but not particularly memorable. The chopped scallop was a bit slimy, and both it and the California roll had too much rice. You definitely will not see particularly good knife skills or sushi-rolling technique here. But you get good value for your money.
