The Food Garden

Not sure of the name but we tried the $17 okonomiyaki from the first truck you see when you walk in! The guy who runs it doesn’t seem to speak much English but he was so friendly and kind. Every time I made eye contact with him he gave me such a kind soft smile and nodded at me how do you not fall in love with that.Usually I imagine okonomiyaki to look more pancake-like with a LOT of sauce which turns me off. My partner who tried this dish in Japan before also said this looked different from what he’s had, as it usually doesn’t involve noodles. And you don’t see many okonomiyaki places in Vancouver where we’re based so this was a unique treat. We had pizza from true love pizza first and I thought I was full but took a bite of this and finished half the plate ?. Personally would like a lil more umami but with a diversity of tasty cabbage, egg, noodles, juicy and tasty meat, green onions etc. it was still pretty dang good. Partner even said he preferred this over the ones he had in Japan haha. Take from that what you will.

I had some hand painted chocolate truffles from Truffle and Treats, mutton roll from the Indian food truck, the traditional poutine from the burger and fries truck, and a fresh coconut from Near da Beach. Everyone had great service, and great food. Thanks!

I Love Hiroshima Oko!

Hidefumi is so nice and very skilled. His food is consistently amazing and I recommend it to anyone who would like to eat authentic Japanese cuisine on the island.

This is my favorite place to eat on Salt Spring Island. The food is amazing and the owners are great people.

Wow, the curry food truck was fantastic!Can’t find an online presence for him. Highly recommend you give him a try! We will be back for sure!!
