1. Dragon Ball Tea House
Vancouver, BC V6H 1Z3
(604) 738-3198
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Shaughnessy, South Cambie
Background: I've been to Taiwan, the birthplace of bubble tea, and so I have had the gold standard.
Food: This beats the gold standard. Fresh fruit options like canteloupe and apple clearly stand out if you've had the grosser over-sweetened powdered…More »
2. Corner 23
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2X8
(604) 879-8815
Background: Been to Taiwan. Me love Taiwanese food long time.
Food: Fried rice had weird crunchy chunks of MSG crystals in it and I think it had a neurotoxic effect on me. Pork knuckle is tender juicy and comes with a vinegar-like dipping sauce.…More »
3. Kam Gok Yuen
Vancouver, BC V6A 1T3
(604) 683-3822
I ate in here like 3 times in the last 3 weeks. I'd almost step over my own mother to get a bowl of rice noodles with BBQ duck and BBQ pork ($6), with a side of gai lan (Chinese broccoli) in oyster sauce ($1). Each table has tasty chili oil which I…More »

4. Mui Garden Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 3J3
(604) 303-7977
Cheap HK diner with surprisingly good quality. Always full of Cantonese people. Try their curried beef brisket on rice, baked seafood on rice, or Portuguese chicken rice. I'm iffy on their bubble and Malaysian items such as roti with curry dip, as…More »
5. Beefy Beef Noodle House
Background: I'm Chinese, raised in Vancouver, and I've eaten a crapload in Taiwan.
Food: Salty peppery chicken with beef noodle here is the standard fare. It's exactly as described and delicious. The red-cooked beef noodle here really is hard to…More »
6. Kam Do Restaurant & Bakery
Richmond, BC V6X 3W5
(604) 231-9216
Background: I'm Chinese and grew up on Chinese food.
Food: All the HK diner classics are here and good. The portions are unnecessarily huge. Fried rices, fried spaghetti, fried pork chop with tomato sauce, and Portuguese chicken will all be good…More »
7. The Boss Bakery & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 2T9
(604) 683-3860
Background: I'm Chinese raised in Vancouver. I've known all the joints in Chinatown since I was a kid.
Food: This is as good as it gets in Chinatown. The bakery is MONEY. Try the taro-filled pineapple bun. The egg tarts are decent. The diner has…More »
8. Shanghai Village
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W4
(604) 872-3618
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Riley Park
I'm surprised this restaurant hasn't had a review yet! It's one of the gems of the new South Cambie strip. I headed in there for lunch one day while on my way to the airport and was greeted by a clean, sleek interior, white tablecloths, and large…More »

Good greasy crap (4)This is a list of my favourite snack joints that are well worth the heart attack I may have 50 years from now. Without them I might as well be a Himalayan monk. |
Izakaya oisheee! (4)"Izakaya", or tavern-style non-sushi japanese tapas are a sensation you can only really enjoy in Vancouver (outside of Japan). You're a sorry mofo of a Vancouverite if you don't try at least a few of these places. |
