1. Bo Lin Vegetarian Foods
Richmond, BC V6X 3V7
Canada
(604) 273-8110
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Chinese,
Food Court
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
When I think of the word gluten, I think of the word MSG. Just because gluten has been as demonized as MSG. However, gluten is not necessarily a bad thing. It is used as a meat substitute in Chinese vegetarian restaurants. One of these is Bo Lin…More »
2. Chun Hing
Richmond, BC V6X 3X2
Canada
(604) 278-3055
Categories:
Chinese,
Fast Food,
Food Court
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
There are three food court restaurants at Yaohan Center that sell entrees from a hot table all next to each other. Kind of like having Panda Express locations next to one other, except much better in regards to quality, taste and price. Chun Hing is…More »
3. Gain Wah Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6A 1X5
Canada
(604) 684-1740
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Strathcona
Cheap eats. Gain Wah is an unassuming Chinese restaurant in Chinatown Vancouver. I wished I could take credit for this find, but this was a "when nature calls" selection. Huh? Rephrasing. When you got to go, you got to go. Get it? Okay.
The restaurant…More »
4. HK BBQ Master
Richmond, BC V6X
Canada
(604) 272-6568
Great BBQ place in Richmond. It can be a little hard to find as it is located below the Real Canadian Superstore near No. 3 Road. Entrance to the restaurant is in the parking lot. HK BBQ Master sells all your favorite Chinese BBQ dishes including…More »
5. Hon's Wun-Tun House
Vancouver, BC V6A 1X5
Canada
(604) 688-0871
Categories:
Dim Sum,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Strathcona
The previous Yelp reviews cast this place as not so great. I was skeptical to try the restaurant based on these reviews, but it turns out the food was pretty decent.
Was in Chinatown the other day for a shopping voyage and was going to Hon's anyway…More »

This is a review for the market adjoining the restaurant at Hon's, so the rating is based on this.… Read more »
6. Kam Wah Loong Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3E3
Canada
(604) 255-8927
As you would suspect given the higher quality of dim sum up north in Richmond and Vancouver, the pricing at most places in the area are reflective of this as well. Thus, it can be a challenge to find a good reasonably priced dim sum restaurant.
After…More »
7. Laurelle's Fine Foods
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
Canada
(604) 685-8482
There are a whole lot of food options to choose from on Granville Island. After passing by Laurelle's, what seemed like 3 or 4 times, I took the plunge and ordered the moussaka which was served in a microwaveable type of tray. Having never had this…More »
8. Murchie's Tea & Coffee
Victoria, BC V8W 1Y2
Canada
(250) 383-3112
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Cafes
If paying top dollar for an afternoon at the Fairmont Empress is not your cup of tea, I suggest trying Murchie's, a company that has been in business since 1894 though 90 years less in this actual location. Here you will find a retail store offering…More »
9. Red Fish Blue Fish
Victoria, BC V8W 1T4
Canada
(250) 298-6877
Categories:
Fish & Chips,
Food Stands,
Seafood
Sometimes I delay writing reviews because I have to prepare myself to write about the grandiosity of the place. This is one of the places. This was the first spot that I visited when I got off the Victoria Clipper and headed into town. And I have to…More »
10. S&W Pepper House
S&W Pepper House in located on No. 3 Road in Richmond. It is part of a chain of restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area. The other branches are in Vancouver and Burnaby. I first came across this restaurant from a review on UrbanSpoon and decided to…More »
11. Cafe D'Lite Express
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
Canada
(604) 295-6603
Categories:
Singaporean,
Malaysian,
Food Court
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Within Aberdeen Centre, Cafe D'Lite Express is the Singaporean cuisine representative of the food court, which is one of my favorite places to go when in Richmond due to the variety. As the express moniker indicates, the menu is fairly limited. Rice…More »
12. Frank's Honeybun Cafe
I wanted to try Chinese food in Victoria, though all the places in the small Chinatown were not very appealing to me. However, a few blocks away you will find Frank's Honeybun Cafe which is a greasy spoon/cheap eats meets Chinese food type of place.

13. HKYK Seafood Hot Pot Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 2C2
Canada
(604) 273-3202
HKYK is a restaurant that serves hot pot as well as dim sum. Seeing that they had a $2.50 a plate special was probably the main reason that I ended up here. Having not tried dim sum in Richmond, I wanted to see how it compared to dim sum experiences…More »
14. Irish Times Pub
Based upon a friend's write-up of Irish Times, I was made known of this place. It is on the main stretch of Government Street in downtown Victoria. This is a cozy Irish pub that is rustic. Interior is dark which makes the place more intimate feeling.…More »
15. Lucky Tao Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
Canada
(604) 233-1219
Christmas in the Golden Village seems like any other day. Whereas most shops everywhere else in Vancouver are closed for the holiday, it is almost like it is unacknowledged as many places are open.
Thus, finding a restaurant to eat Christmas dinner…More »
16. Mui Garden Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 3J3
Canada
(604) 303-7977
Dined at Mui Garden last weekend for dinner. This is a casual dining restaurant that offers HK cafe fare alongside traditional Chinese cuisine.
It is located off Westminster Highway near Richmond Centre. Part of a building complex, there is fairly…More »
17. McDonald's
Vancouver, BC V6E 3V5
Canada
(604) 718-1025
Had an just okay experience at this location. This is right off the hubbub of Robson Street. There are numerous McDonald's in this area, but settled on this one because it seemed less crowded. Kind of a seedy area. Seemingly the prices at McDonald's…More »
