Carp is my favourite Japanese kitchen in Vancouver that serves the best classic poké bowls in the city. With ocean-wise, wild fish by default, the quality and taste of sashimi alone is several cuts above the rest of the local competition.
My favourite bowls are the salmon poke and chirashi don. I could eat these dishes again and again, and I often do! Either goes great with the miso soup + kale/green bean gomae combo. If you have room for rolls, I recommend the salmon/eel roll, crunch roll, and negitoro roll.
Carp has a humble seating capacity, but their food quality expands far beyond the restaurant. They are often busy at dinner time so be prepared to order take out.
Today I was getting together with a handful of local food bloggers. Just an occasion of regular friends hanging out and having dinner. Diana of “Foodology” choose the restaurant, admitting she really likes small places that are under the radar. And this was certainly that. Located on a side street with little more than a small chalkboard sign up front and their name above the door. I missed them on the first time circling the block.
