From the 1400-block of Robson St and around onto Denman and Davie Sts, you'll suddenly find yourself among a finger-licking smorgasbord of popular Korean and Japanese casual eateries. Originally catering to the homesick ESL students who still call the area home, Vancouverites have embraced this area as a great way to indulge in authentic Asian dining. A cut above its student-luring siblings, Sura offers awesome Korean comfort dishes in a white-walled, bistro-like setting. Try the spicy beef soup, kimchee pancakes and excellent dolsot bibimbap (beef, veggies and a still-cooking egg in a hot stone bowl).
