The Sea picked up where the Saigon left off: at the bottom of the hill and remained there, not even bothering to change the Saigon’s menus c7 iis worn and Not valid Valentines Day, tp oa Day or New Years Eve One coupon per group Wk when a sccond ENTREE of equal or greater value is purchased “Kuve MEXICAN ENTERTAINMENT a 1200 Lonsdale Ave. (at 12th) North Vancouver,B.C. of dingy interior before opening. Failure was inevitable. The prognosis for the return of quality dining at 140 Lonsdale appeared grim. Culinary cadavers take a lot of burying. They have a way of infecting a location with bad restaurant decisions for years. Honjin, however, has, in the immortal words of the ever- quotable Ace Ventura “exorcised the demons.” Gone is the Golden Sea's tawdry interior, its borrowed menus and its tired and greasy version of Vietnamese food. In its place, Honjin has installed a bright and welcoming sushi bar, a bank of dining booths that employ a resourceful use of particle board and unfinished wood, and a large tatami room. its menu, meanwhile, offers a wide selection of traditional Japanese fare. Sushis (maki and temaki — $1.75 to $4.50) and sashimis ($7.50 to $12.95) are both well Reservations recommended at 985-TACO or 985-8226 AGRO BBB BE The accent is French but the emphasis is on fine French Cuisine Contemporary Lunch & Dinner Open Tuesday to Saturday 1273 Marine Drive, W.Van. 926-4913 See Honjin page 29 rs i Z FOR 1 , DINNER SPECIAL | Enjoy one complimentary entree when a second entree of equal or greater value is purchased.
