Where To Eat & Drink - Spring Edition

I need to show love to my city. There’s some solid local restaurants, cafes and coffee shops in Edmonton.

Let’s start off with an OG spot, Double Greeting Wonton House, which has been serving delicious Chinese eats for many years. If my memory serves me right, our server told me 30+ years. I will visit again and confirm. When I visit with my family, we always order the rice roll with long donut, beef brisket, assorted chow mein and green beans with X.O sauce.

A mom and pop spot serving fresh sashimi and sushi is Sushi Wasabi. I like to dine here when celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary. I love to order the beef tataki and hokki sashimi. They have a solid menu with many options to choose from.

If I had to say, what my number 1 restaurant is, it has to be Kobachi Japanese Cuisine in Sherwood Park. The intimate restaurant offers staple menu items and a seasonal menu. If you can, order as much as possible! My suggestion is to order from their nigiri sushi menu. Take my word, everything is impeccable.

One food my family never tires of, it has to be Vietnamese pho. Two spots we go to satisfy our pho and bun bo hue cravings are Co Due Hue in the west side and Pho Song Huong in the northside.

Shout-out to Rosewoods Foods for the best grilled cheese sandwich ever! And holy smokes their kale salad! What is in the dressing?!! I am not one to rave about a salad but damn, it’s on point.

I love a good coffee and it has to be Rogue Wave Coffee for a delicious pour-over and Coffee Bureau for the perfect Americano.

There’s plenty of incredible spots in Edmonton to visit which I have not mentioned. I hope to showcase some more of my favourite spots in the near future. For now, here are some local spots I’ve been diggin’.
