The OG Gyo Paradise location opened in 1993 at Thurlow and Robson, but due to development in the area, the eatery had to close up shop and find new digs – fast forward eight months to their current spot at 2120 West Broadway, and you’ve got a delicious Gyo Paradise volume two.
Did we mention that students who flash ID get unlimited kaedama for no charge? Even if you’re not a student, Gyo’s big bowls of ramen run for just over $10, which makes for an irresistibly affordable (and filling) bowl.
