Tsubaki

I was on facebook the other day and I saw a classmate of mine who was Japanese post about this place in Richmond, Tsubaki and she mentioned she had Hirame "flounder" which I love. My first time eating flounder was at Ajisai in West Vancouver. So me and bf decided to go visit Tsubaki. We went on a Sunday and they open everyday from 5-10pm I believe. Only for dinner. So we got there right around 5pm. We were the first one there. Since we were the first one's there we had really good customer service. I believe the person serving us was the manager or the head of the restaurant. He seemed professional and very kind. We had a dish complimentary from the chef of stewed salmon and white carrot. It was simple and I was hungry so I devoured the small dish. We ordered the flounder which was cut into very fine pieces, very delicate flavours and no fishiness at all which I loved. We had the chef recommendation special of the day which consisted of: sockeye salmon, Squid, Ebi, Salmon wrapped with cuttle fish, Mackerel, Tuna, Aji (Horse Mackerel), Seared Scallops. The dish was very fresh, no taste of fishiness at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the textures and the flavours of each seafood. We had the sake clams in broth which was very delicious. Warming to the body. It was a great way of getting ourselves off the cold dishes with something warm. We had the Miso Cod which was very good as well. Quite small for the price which was about $15.00 for a slice. Overall I had a great experience. Everything was delicious. Next time I'll try out their rolls. It was a carbless meal that day. Afterwards we headed for some shaved ice at Icy Bar in Vancouver near Kingsway and Joyce area.  We shared a lychee shaved ice with a regular shaved ice of mangoes, pudding, rice mochi, black rice. It was delicious. I was super cold after eating that...thank goodness for my jacket
Had a nice sunny day playing Tennis at Langara. Overall a wonderful Sunday.
