Sippin’ Saki at the Irashai Grill
I would like to thank everyone who came out to the Sip event at the Irashai Grill, as well as the fantastic staff who hosted us! We ended up having over 30 people attend, our highest number for a dinner event so far. It’s great to see the interest in Sip building. It was also nice to hear that a number of people went out for coffee afterwards – new friendships were formed. That is exactly what Sip is about. To view pictures of the event on Flickr, click here.

Kits Sushi
One of the better sushi restaurants in Vancouver. I am currently enjoying some yam tempura rolls and tuna rolls on Kits beach as I write this.
Enjoy Japanese food and wine. Meet new friends. Soak in the sunshine!
Enjoy fine Japanese cuisine from one of Vancouver’s newest restaurants, while mingling with fellow Sip foodies and socialites in a fun and vibrant atmosphere. We’ve made a reservation for twenty people to indulge in fine fare from Irashai Grill, on Thursday, June 25, celebrating the start of summer on their patio!
A great time at the Urban Thai Bistro!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Urban Thai Bistro in Yaletown on Thursday night! We had a really good turnout for our event, and the conversation really flowed – it’s hard to believe that we were there for a couple of hours. It was a great idea to share the plates, what a great way to sample a number dishes! Stay tuned for details about our next event, which will be posted shortly.
