I love Nagahama ramen at menya too! I walk by it a lot and try really hard to resist going in... LOL
Other than Menya, there are:
Falafel Plus on W 8th (behind Wendy's)
- Middle Eastern, Kosher
Unforgettable Pizza (next to Falafel king)
- pizza by slice or whole (ok la just a bit better than the chains)
Peaceful Restaurant on w Broadway
- northern style noodle
Elysian Coffee on w Broadway
- coffee and freshly baked goods (close at 7pm)
Fat burger
- ok la. better than the other chains
Solly's Bagelry
- W 7th (quick toasted bagel)
Whole Foods
- soup that is not as salty as other places
Zako's Deli
- Poutine (ok for that area. I prefer la Belle's)
Going further east,
Chronic Tacos
- Taco chain from CA, a bit more authentic than other tex-max tacos chains
(i prefer other authentic Mexican restaurants' tacos but they are not in this area)
Three Lions Cafe
- British Pub. Had pretty good English breakfast there
Up on Cambie
Shiro
- ok sushi. fresh wasabi. pretty good tempura
becoming trendy again? remember the good old days when Maitre D'proudly prepared desserts at tableside: Caesar Salad, Steak Tartare,
Cafe Brulot, Duck Presse, Steak Diane.. Cherry jubilee, Crepes Suzette..........
across Gloucester, there's a tiny mexican sandwich place. I kinda like it too.
Gloucester is really going downhill, even though i-Cafe is not good either, but at least it's closer to broadway.
None of the nearby HK style cafes are spectacular (They are not CHEAP eats either that's why we suggested something else instead), actually Copa is probably the best among the three.
Corner23 simply has too much MSG and soysauce!!! Drinks are terrible.
