Indian

I am guilty of moving to Vancouver for 8 months and not going to Vij's sooner. I just had the best Indian meal of my life. We came here after the Opening Ceremonies of the Paralympics and hoped that there was no lineup but of course there was still…More »

7. HK BBQ Master
Richmond, BC V6X
(604) 272-6568
Johnson C raved about this place and I've been skeptical since there's a good selection of bbq in Chinatown (closer to me). But after an Ikea trip, I was determined to check it out ...and everything he said was true!!
The BBQ pork skin was delicious…More »
