What are the best restaurant picks for downtown Vancouver?

I can't really say what's superior to New York, but one area Vancouver really shines are various Pacific Rim cuisines; if you're determined to stay downtown I would try one of the Japanese izakaya places, my personal favorite is Guu (don't just take my word for it, take Stewart's); Hapa Izakaya is also good. If you venture just outside the downtown core, Vij's and Phnom Penh are both great.

Even though you can duplicate the experience in NYC, Vancouver has great Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian and Indian restaurants. Tojo's for instance has killer sashimi

One of the best restaurants I've eaten in anywhere is C Restaurant on Howe Street. I had a wild slow roasted salmon main that still brings tears of joy to my eyes.

I don't remember exactly where these places are, but I ate at Sun Sui Wah (dim sum - probably does seafood in the evening) and Elixir, an upscale restaurant in a hotel in Yaletown. Everything I ate in Vancouver was excellent, and I especially remember delicious Indian food, but unfortunately I can't remember what restaurant that was. You might want to check out Beyond Robson, which is a blog about non-touristy stuff in Vancouver.
