The three c´s: Kitsilano Restaurant

In mexican spanish,when a place is nice and convenient, we say that it possesses the three b´s, from bueno, bonito y barato. I wanted to somehow translate that phrase in English to describe Kitsilano Restaurant: It possesses the three c´s: confortable, clean and...cheap!
Types of food: Don´t be scared if the first time you see the place does not seems to be very fancy.And remain positive when they give you the menus including options of chinese,japanese, canadian and all day breakfast. Wait and see:
The chinese food: Very good to excellent. The best shrimp fried rice I have tried (after surveying several chinese places). With 20 bucks or less you can get two different chinese platters, enough for two people.
Japanese food: Very good sushi, fresh and tasty. They have all you can eat lunch and dinner. Beware of the miso soup, a little bit different to other versions served in Vancouver.
Canadian food: Oops, you´ve got to try that one because I have not done it. But people seem happy munching hamburgers and sandwiches.
All day breakfast: For 7 bucks you get: 2 eggs (anyhow you like them), with sausage or bacon, hashbrown, cofee and toast. They have other stuff: fruit, milkshakes, you name it. Excellent breakfast for an excellent price.
Service: The dishes are delivered quicky, and the service in general is very good. Try it! Excellent for us, students.
