1. Chinatown Vancouver
Vancouver, BC
Categories:
Restaurants,
Local Flavour,
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
I'll have to write this review in a few parts. There is so much vibrant history with Vancouver's Chinatown. The rise and fall of many communities, not only Chinese, but the Japanese, the infusion of the Vietnamese and Philippino communities, and…More »
2. Phnom Penh
Last week, was a special event for Yelpers. I was here with a whack load of Yelp Elites who were all hungry after an event and wanted only one thing. Chicken wings, from Phnon Penh!
To have such a unanimous decision made out of just knowing.

Specialty Food

Why a 5 star for this little place that seems like it's been here forever?
Like my kids asked me one time when I thought it was time to introduce them to this place.
-Why are we going here? They'd ask.
-Because.
-Because why Dad?
-Well, It's a long…More »
4. Keefer Bar
At the time of this writing there is already 50 reviews and the majority of them all very very good. The place is long and narrow, so at the waistline of this bar, it can get crowded and personal. Hopefully you meet someone you like there. :)
Bar is…More »
5. Peking Lounge
Vancouver, BC V6A 1S9
(604) 844-1559
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Antiques
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
I had no idea they were here this long. What a great little find in the middle of Chinatown.
We came, we entered and we got excited. All the items (except those shaving cream brushes) were things we could imagine having in our house.
There seemed to…More »
6. New Town Bakery & Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 1T3
(604) 689-7835
Still my favourite place in all of Chinatown and it's new!
My son and I walked in here one early morning to find that there was something different. Both of us hadn't noticed we were two doors down from the old location and thought they had just…More »

My last journey to Chinatown was when we got our…More »
8. Foo's Ho Ho Restaurant
Somehow they are still here, and we keep coming back. It was a place my father used to go to. It was Sam the owner and chef that we would follow around from the days when he had a wuntun place down the street, then Foo's a block away and then Ho…More »

9. Ovaltine Cafe
Vancouver, BC V6A 1P2
(604) 685-7021
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Once in awhile I'll come here. Breakfast is cheap and it's an old old institution. You can smell the age and it's a very cool thing.
Be warned, this is not a fancy schmancy diner. This is the original thing that will take you back to the 1920's. Or…More »
10. Hon's Wun-Tun House

(604) 688-0871
Categories:
Dim Sum,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Strathcona
Like the Man Michael says. only eat wun tun here. Well heck, this is what it was all about. Hon's made this and Pot stickers famous and friendly.
This is one of the older locations and few remaining places that have old school Wun Tun. On this day,…More »
11. Allena Chong Insurance Agencies
Needed more car insurance, was in this part of town (Vancouver) and it was easier than going to the doctors. Painless!!!

12. Ten Ren Tea & Ginseng Company
I think at this location, if you spoke Chinese, it'd be eaiser to get what you thought you were looking for.
Here it that time, it was for a tea set. The kind you would get for doing ceremonies, like...weddings and stuff.
I remember having a…More »
13. Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie
I think this is a 3 star review. It should be better. The staff was pretty good, the food was quite decent and I know that the ingredients were very good. The ambiance was nice and the company for dinner was perfect. Everything should have been as…More »

Where would you go if you had the perfect date?
Where would you go to make it an adventure with said perfect date?
What would you eat with said perfection?

15. Fan Tan Alley
All I can say is that if you wanted to get a glimpse of what Chinatown in Victoria was like, Where all the seedy things happened, it was in Fan Tan Alley.
I was amazed and my imagination simply ran wild just walking down this narrow laneway.
A hidden…More »
16. Floata Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 4E9
(604) 602-0368
This review is for the Dimsum we came for. Just the two of us, so we knew we would only be able to eat certain dishes. I was curious about their Har Gow which got a middle of the run rating.
The skin was a bit thick, yes, but it held together.…More »

Categories:
Meat Shops,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
Looks like they had some good quality cuts of meat. However, I was here for their sandwiches and was looking for something a bit different than the porchetta sandwhich that I had at that other meat place....
Big Lou's was it. My name is Lou and this…More »
18. Goldstone Bakery And Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 688-9328
Still the same, serving cheap HK style food, Old Skool. The waitresses are quite pretty here. No really they are. Just ask my sister Cherise.
This review is about a couple of months old. sorry for the lateness of it all.
What did I get? Curry and…More »

Vancouver, BC V6A 1P1
(604) 684-6720
Category:
Drugstores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Eastside
This is not your average Shoppers Drugs mart or even your local neighbourhood drug and convenience store. This is right on the edge of Chinatown, on Hastings street, where all the action of ghetto resides and prospers.
The folks at Garlane have…More »

21. Waves Coffee
There was a funky smell in the corner of the coffee shop by the window, but it wasn't anything related to coffee or the store. More like the lingering odor of a passerby that frequents the corner?
Aside from that, great coffee shop. Loved Steve B's…More »
22. Caffé Brixton
This place is pretty cool. It`s a nice addition to the Strathcona / Chinatown neighbourhood. They have taco specials in the evening too on certain days.
Coming here by myself was probably not the best thing for me, but I had a quick bite and then I…More »
Recently updated lists from Larry L.
Great places come and gone. (1)Places that I would repeatedly go to that were good, but are sadly no more. |
You call this Italian? (5)Places that serve Italian inspired food.So...Is it Italian or is it Ispirando! Mostly this list is about Japanese or Asian influenced Italian food. When I tried Italian food in Japan it was quite different from what my friends from Italiy would make andit lead me to this. Fusion. |
Steveston Village (40)I still have to work on this list, but it's growing.Lots of stuff to do in Steveston Village. When it's sunny outside there's even more to do. During the spring and summer, every second sunday, there is the Farmers market as well. |
Cantonese Food (4)Cantonese Food, probably one of the first Chinese cuisines to come to Canada. This is a list of places that I've eaten at in Vancouver that serves Cantonese style food. |
Japanese Food. What it Means to Me. (25)Japanese food to me is a home cooked meal.It's not always sushi and not always raw and not always rice. Here's a list of the Japanese restaurants that I've been to that I consider more authentic than others. Yasuyo can claim this list as hers as well. Although there are alot of great places I haven't been to yet. (I'll get to them someday) This is just a list of the places that I've been to that I would recommend. |
FAST AND FURIOUS FOOD (48)Fast food and drive ins, or drive throughs or dive ins. |
Happy Hour for your Car. (21)Want to pamper your car? Like to race or rally your car in competition but don't know where to start? Want to make you're new purchase look unique, cool and sleek and sexy?Below is a growing list that i'll be working on for those who love all things automobiles. Stay tuned for updates! |
Places with Potential (6)This is a list of places that have all the right stuff, but on the night or day I came, it was probably not their best day.So if you come here, please cheer them on. I know they can do better and I'm sure you will give them glowing reviews. Everybody has a bad day now and then. So this list is to prove that they know they can do it great all the time. |
The Underdog List for April 2012 (4)Here is a list of reviews that i will be doing in the month of April that have 10 or less reviews at the time of review.Unfotunately I couldn't use them for the Underdog April event listing, but this should help those Underdogs out there! |
Where to go after a Yelp event? (15)This list will grow for sure.A list of places we've been to after a Yelp event wether it was a CMYE, Elite or a UYE event. Usually something that was open later, easy to get in, no reservation needed. and was fun. |
