More infoDachi is the East Van date for people who like knowing about things first: a small, low-lit room on East Hastings doing Pacific Northwest cooking with a Japanese edit, built around seasonal small plates for sharing. The award-winning natural wine and sake list is the real draw, so let the staff, who visibly light up when you ask, steer, and watch one glass turn into three. Sits at 4.6.
The room is small, so book ahead and grab seats at the counter or a snug two-top against the wall. This is a share-everything menu, so order a spread of small plates and, crucially, put the wine and sake in the staff's hands; their natural list is the reason regulars come back. First-timers play it safe and miss the more adventurous pours and the seasonal specials, so ask what's new. Budget under two hours, or linger late on a weekend; it's a quick hop back toward Commercial Drive afterward.
