On a 6 1/2 hour layover in Vancouver in November we plan to leave the airport and take a cab to the Richmind area and have dinner at an izakaya. I'd rather not have to exchange currency for such a short visit, so I'd like to know if the cabs in Vancouver take credit cards? I know most restaurants do, and if the cabs do then we won't have to get any Canadian dollars.

Any suggestions for izakayas in that neighborhood? I have read about a few and they all sound good. The ones I've looked at are Guu and Tsukiji. We will be there around 8:00pm on Nov. 21.
