New spots are opening across Metro Vancouver, and the list is long enough that picking where to eat first is half the fun. Three names are on the buzz list right now: Haisan, The Moon and Zumi Revolving Sushi Bar.
What’s on the radar
Local food coverage this month highlights roughly a dozen and a half recent openings, from cafés to sit-down restaurants. We can’t vouch for any of them yet, since details like menus, prices and hours weren’t confirmed at post time, but the three above are the names turning up most.
- Haisan: a new opening worth a look. Check its social channels for current hours and menu.
- The Moon: another fresh name making the rounds this month.
- Zumi Revolving Sushi Bar: the conveyor-belt format, which suits groups and anyone who likes to graze.
How to try new places well
New restaurants are fragile in their first months. A few habits help, and they don’t cost much:
- Go in the first few weeks, when word of mouth matters most.
- Order something you can’t get elsewhere, not just the safe pick.
- Tag the spot and leave an honest review.
- Look past downtown too. Richmond, Burnaby and the east side are where a lot of Vancouver’s best food lives.
