DUNBAR VILLAGE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

Message from President, Vicki Bell

Welcome to the Winter Edition of Dunbar Life!

Autumn brings striking red, orange, and yellow hues to Dunbar’s streets. The Dunbar Village Business Association’s annual Trick-or-Treat event returned on October 25, and even a bit of rain didn’t dampen the festive spirit.

Holiday traditions run deep in Dunbar, and shopping locally is part of that spirit. Dunbar’s merchants look forward to welcoming you this season. In this issue, you’ll find our annual Dunbar Village Gift Guide, filled with one-of-akind gift ideas to bring joy to your loved ones.

We’re also bringing back Winter White Holiday Windows in Dunbar Village, an initiative that received wonderful feedback last year. Once again, The Graphic Garden has transformed 51 storefronts into a winter scene of painted pine branches, snowflakes, and festive details. These displays complement Dunbar’s street lighting, banners, and the twinkling tree lights that brighten the Village year-round.

Our cover story features UBECard, where nostalgia meets modern play. Owner Ray Serion has turned a former bank into a lively space for collectors and gamers to connect through the shared joy of collecting.

We also spotlight Kirala Sushi, Dunbar’s newest restaurant, owned by Daisy Li and Joe Zhao. After returning to Vancouver to

be closer to family, the couple opened this intimate 20-seat restaurant in August 2025, serving sushi, creative rolls, and traditional Japanese dishes. With fresh ingredients, warm service, and growing community support, Kirala Sushi has quickly become a neighbourhood favourite.

We also welcome Royal Cardz (4335 Dunbar St.), Corner ClassLounge Math & Science (5540 Dunbar St.), and Huizhong Education (5580 Dunbar St.) to the Village.

As noted in spring 2024, the DVBA Board decided to wait until Dunbar’s local street network is fully reopened before installing a community plaza on West 27th Avenue (east side of Dunbar). The City expects work to finish by spring 2026. Once complete, businesses look forward to partnering with the City to develop this temporary plaza. After community feedback is reviewed in fall 2026, the City will decide whether to remove or retain it.

The Dunbar Village Business Association (DVBA) held its Annual General Meeting in September, where members voted to extend the DVBA’s mandate for another five years. The DVBA remains dedicated to promoting and strengthening Dunbar’s business district, and we’re grateful for your year-round support—especially during the holiday season.

As 2025 comes to a close, we wish everyone a peaceful and joyful holiday season filled with good health and happiness. Here’s to a great year ahead in Dunbar Village!

Welcome to Dunbar Village

The Dunbar Village Business Association would like to thank Stong’s Market, Pizza Heaven, Blight’s Home Hardware and New District Wine Beer Spirits for their incredible support of the DVBA’s Annual General Meeting on September 16th. The AGM was a great success and the DVBA Board and Dunbar Village business members are so very grateful for all of their generous support.

Thank you to all the DVBA Board Members — Vicki Bell, Jeffrey Ho, Sabeen Tiwana, and Ray Serion — who helped during the DVBA’s busy AGM evening with set-up, tear-down, and handing out Trick-or-Treat in Dunbar Village candy starter kits! Thanks as well to the Dunbar Community Centre for providing tables and supporting this annual event.

A special thank you goes to Blight’s Home Hardware’s Jeffrey Ho — the DVBA’s last remaining OG Board Member — and Blight’s Michael O’Connell, who once again handled the heat and hard work of the barbecue. Stong’s Market generously supplied the burgers and all the fixings, Pizza Heaven provided plenty of pizzas that were quickly devoured, and New District made it possible for the DVBA to offer refreshments to attendees.

Thanks also to our business members who donated door prizes — Heaven Head Spa, Dunbar Theatre, Massage Therapy on Dunbar, K&K Pet Foods, FYidoctors, and Pizza Heaven — helping the evening end on a fun note with our always popular AGM prize draw.

UBECARD: A Modern Hobby with Nostalgic Roots

Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier & Carolynne Palla

A former CIBC bank in Dunbar has found new life—and a surprising new purpose. Behind its walls, where tellers once counted cash, collectors now handle trading cards. Owner Ray Serion has transformed UBECard into a vibrant community hub for collectors and gamers of all ages.

Since opening in 2021, UBECard has grown from a modest 600-square-foot collector card shop to a 4,000-square-foot, full-scale certified play store for Pokémon, Bandai, Namco, Disney Ravensburger, and Wizards of the Coast. The move across the street earlier this year marks a major milestone for both Ray and Dunbar’s growing hobby scene.

One of the building’s original safes now houses the store’s inventory, while the other has been transformed into a VIP vault showcasing higher end cards and providing collectors with

a premium shopping experience.

“We wanted to create something truly unique, where collectors could not only shop but also play, connect, and share the experience,” says Ray.

The extra space also allows for dedicated play zones, a lounge-style hangout area, and tables for tournaments and events. The atmosphere strikes a balance between nostalgia and energy—walls are lined with trading cards and memorabilia, and the room buzzes with friendly competition as collectors share their latest finds. Saturday night trade nights are still going strong and have become a community favourite.

“From rare finds to sought-after classics, our selection appeals to both novices and seasoned collectors,” Ray explains. “The store is not just about cards—it’s about shared passion, the thrill of the game, and the joy of discovering that perfect addition to your collection.”

As an official play store, UBECard hosts prerelease events and weekly tournaments for popular games like Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering. The community has grown quickly, drawing both veteran players and newcomers who are discovering organized play for the first time.

UBECard’s clientele is a mix of kids, families, and adult collectors.

Many young people come in on their own to browse, trade, or join tournaments. Adults often visit to relive their childhood or hunt for investment-grade cards. It’s a blend of community, competition, and collection.

“UBECard is a one-of-a-kind spot for birthday parties, complete with trading card games, special activities, and lots of fun,” Ray shares.

The store’s origin began decades ago. Growing up in Kerrisdale, Ray loved collecting hockey cards, trading with friends, and hunting down rare finds—a ritual familiar to many who came of age before the digital era.

That lifelong passion eventually inspired

him to turn his hobby into a business. When the pandemic hit and people rediscovered collecting, Ray saw the opportunity to bring that joy to Dunbar. Concerned that social interaction was declining, he wanted to create a space where collectors could gather in person—to touch, trade, and talk about the hobby they loved. “There’s nothing like it, from a hobbyist’s point of view, to hold a card in your hands,” he says with a smile.

“Cards that had been sitting in closets collecting dust became big again,” he recalls. “Values spiked and cards worth a few hundred dollars were suddenly worth thousands. It was pure supply and demand.”

“Trading

cards embody the

essence

what we stand for. They’re

about cherished moments and building legacies, one card at a time.”

Business has been strong, and the passion for collecting continues to grow across all age groups. Pokémon still makes up about 50% of sales, but interest in One Piece and Magic has been climbing steadily, especially with new releases and crossovers.

Modern sports cards remain in demand, and although Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan cards are still hot items, collectors are especially excited about sealed and single Pokémon cards, as well as limited-edition modern TCG chase cards.

The shop now offers card grading submissions,

consignment sales, and personalized gift recommendations for collectors, especially popular during the holidays. UBECard plans to promote gift bundles, mystery packs, and exclusive collector displays. High-end singles, sealed products, and accessories like binders and sleeves remain popular gift picks.

“For the UBECard team, the best part is seeing how the store has become a community hub,” Ray says. “Collectors of all ages share a common passion, friendships form across generations, and new players are constantly discovering the hobby.”

Customers often say what keeps them coming back is the welcoming atmosphere, the knowledgeable staff, and the strong sense of belonging they feel.

“UBECard isn’t just a store—it’s an interactive experience,” Ray reflects. “From a small startup to a full-fledged play store in a converted bank, it’s proof that the hobby continues to thrive and evolve. Whether you’re a casual collector, competitive player, or someone looking for the perfect gift, UBECard is the place to rediscover the joy of collecting.”

KIRALA SUSHI:

Dunbar’s New Sushi Destination

Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Carolynne Palla & submitted

Daisy Li and Joe Zhao are the owners of Dunbar’s Kirala Sushi. Since opening in August 2025, they’ve been pouring their hearts—and countless hours—into creating something fresh and special for the neighbourhood. When Joe spotted the vacant restaurant space, he instantly knew it was the perfect place to share their love of sushi with the community.

After running a restaurant in Vancouver, Joe and Daisy moved to Calgary in 2016 with their two sons, opening another eatery there. But after several years away, they felt the pull

of family and home. “We wanted to be closer to our parents again,” Daisy explains. In 2024, the family returned to Vancouver and recently settled in Dunbar.

The husband-and-wife team runs their restaurant seven days a week. Behind the sushi bar, Joe shapes fish and rice into edible works of art while diners watch from the open dining area. Daisy, who has worked as a server for more than a decade, brings warmth and efficiency to the front of house.

Families, university students, and longtime locals drop by for lunch and dinner, while takeout orders remain brisk. With just 20 seats, the dining room is a cozy and intimate space. “Dunbar is so beautiful—friendly, familyoriented, and safe. We’ve fallen in love with the area,” Daisy says.

The name Kirala means “shimmering”—a fitting choice for the freshness and care that shine through every dish.

Kirala Sushi’s menu honours traditional Japanese flavours with a few imaginative twists. Alongside classic nigiri, sashimi, and rolls, diners can explore specialties that have quickly become customer favourites.

One top seller, the Sushi Pizza, features a deep-fried California roll topped with chopped scallops and sauce.

Another favourite is the Dragon Roll, made with prawn tempura and BBQ eel inside, crowned with slices of avocado. The Sunshine Roll, filled with yam tempura, avocado, and smoked salmon, is finished with mayo and unagi sauce.

Fish is sourced from local suppliers, and select ingredients are imported from Japan. Orders arrive twice a week in small batches to ensure the best quality. “We don’t stock too much at once,” Daisy notes. “That way, everything we serve is fresh.”

For those who prefer cooked dishes or vegetarian options, Kirala’s menu offers plenty of choices—rice bowls, udon and soba noodles,

teriyaki, tempura, and party trays loaded with sushi rolls for sharing.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing, ‘Your sushi is really good!’ or ‘We’ll be back,’” says Daisy.

Her personal favourites are the Sockeye Salmon Oshi and Tuna Oshi. These pressed sushi pieces are made by layering rice and toppings into a rectangular mold, then finishing them with a special sauce. “It’s become one of our most popular items. People really enjoy it,” she adds.

To help customers discover new flavours, Kirala Sushi offers daily specials—two or three items at a special price. Daisy recommends trying the

calamari: lightly battered squid deep-fried in tempura and topped with sauce. For those who prefer dining at home, the restaurant provides a 10% discount on online pickup orders.

As the holiday season approaches, they are preparing for larger orders. “Our party trays are perfect for gatherings,” she explains. “We just ask for one or two days’ notice for big orders so we can plan properly.”

Daisy and Joe are proud of what they’ve built and agree that the rewards outweigh the challenges. “The biggest challenge is getting

the word out,” Daisy admits. “We want people to know that Kirala Sushi is completely new— new owners, new menu, and a new beginning.”

Welcome to Dunbar, Kirala Sushi. We appreciate the dedication and hard work of independent business owners like Daisy and Joe, who bring delicious culinary options to our community.
