Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Food Stands,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Yes, there already is a 2nd location: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
And now there is a third coming - I'm telling you this is the Beard Papa of hot dogs!
Don't get too excited. It is apparently just for a single day. But for those of you that never make…More »
2. Japa Dog
Gotta love their Jinglish:
- They call their hotdog stand a "restaurant hotdog stand."
- On their website (yes, a hotdog stand that has a website!), "Our English is very poor. The followings may make mistakes. We are sorry. We will do my best for…More »
3. Festival Du Bois
* Très Magnifique! *
This community festival was one of the best I've been to in the Vancouver area - by far. It had really great music, a strong community feel, some classic Quebec treats, and a true variety of offerings.
The highlights:
- Nicolas…More »

Vancouver, BC
Categories:
Barbeque,
Middle Eastern,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Great Israeli style shishlik cart *
The foodcart scene in Vancouver is a fairly mixed bag with a lot of places providing mediocre quality food at highly inflated prices for street food.
Mangal Kiss bucks the trend and actually provides good value…More »
5. Slingers Mobile Food
* Veal Parmigiana truck *
I ordered the veal parmigiana sandwich and I really liked it.
Service was very friendly, and efficient.
After taking my order they fresh fried the veal cutlet for the sandwich. It was lightly breaded and fried perfectly.…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 2C9

Categories:
Food Stands,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Continues to perform with great customer service *
I went back to try some more of their menu to be greeted by the 3 friendly guys behind the counter. Should I call them the 3 stooges of fresh local food? I'm not sure if that is an insult or a…More »

Categories:
Food Stands,
Street Vendors
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Fusion that works *
So often fusion fails miserably. After a recent Korean-Mexican fusion fail at Roaming Dragon (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) I needed to let the Korean Mexican fusion redeem itself. Enter Coma.
These guys do fusion right!
I…More »
8. Bada Bing Food Truck
* Halal cheesesteak specialist *
This newish food truck did quite a respectable job on the cheesesteak I ordered. They seem to have moved from their spot on Robson to the Northwest corner of Thurlow and Robson.
The cheesesteak was served on a soft…More »
9. Chinese Skewer King
Vancouver, BC V6C 1E5
(778) 835-9169
Categories:
Food Stands,
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Bummer *
I passed by and didn't see the friendly skewer king set up in its normal spot. I thought it was a bit strange, as their skewers are tasty, and they have had a line every time I've been there.
Dug around a bit, and apparently they are…More »

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
* Welcome addition to our limited street food *
This little converted "short school bus" (you know the kind) is now operating as a croissant bakery on the corner of Drake and Pacific right next to David Lam Park.
Everything on the menu is built…More »
11. Japa Dog
* Overworked! *
Ok, so I know I poked fun in the past at Japa Dog's recruiting of 2 specialized jobs for a single hot dog stand (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
But I see why now. This new location (the 3rd of their growing weenie empire!) located right…More »

Categories:
Food Stands,

Vancouver has a few new street food options. The guys behind this one got a prime location right by the Vancouver Art Gallery, across the street from the HSBC building.
The menu is straightforward. They offer a…More »

Categories:
Street Vendors,
Indian
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Street Tandoori *
Thanks to Kari C's consistent raving about this cart I tracked it down after 2 failed attempts to find it.
They were just opening for the day and heating up their mini-tandoori oven they have in the cart. Yes, a tandoori oven in a…More »
14. TaiwanFest
* Volunteerism gone wild *
There were a few changes at this year's TaiwanFest:
- They changed locations to a more central downtown location spread across the Art Gallery plaza, and 2 blocks of Granville Street.
- They also got rid of the very high…More »
15. Osa Tako Hero
Vancouver, BC V6C 1G8
Categories:
Japanese,
Food Stands,
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Videogame takoyaki *
Ok, their whole menu is just a bit too cutesy for me with the videogame theme. Toppings are called, "power ups" - oh puhleze. Wait did I just lose a life for saying that?!?!?!?!
The young guy running the cart seems very…More »

Categories:
Street Vendors,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Part of the overpriced food cart program! *
In the latest installation of food carts which don't get that street food is supposed to be less expensive than full restaurants/bakeries, my latest visit was to this little banh mi cart which serves two…More »
17. Nabob Pop Up Cafe
* The price was just about right *
Nabob has set up a pop-up cafe on Robson Square between Hornby and Howe. It looks like a classic outdoor food stand cafe, with a few small tables and everything.
The only difference is the price. It is entirely…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Two tacos for $10, and you can't even give a full lime wedge?!?!?! *
This truck (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) has been getting a lot of positive reviews, so I had to check it out myself.
My impressions?
1) Severely overpriced. $5.50 for a flank…More »

Categories:
Pizza,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Lost in translation *
This street truck offering from Ragazzi (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) fixed the issue I had when I visited the actual restaurant. At least the slice here was properly heated - hooray!
But the things I liked from their original…More »

Asian Fusion,

* They've got balls! *
This place sure has balls. All different types of balls. Fish balls, beef balls, chicken balls, etc.
You pick the type of balls you would like, and then how you would like them finished off.
I chose beef, and got two…More »
21. Arturo's 2 Go
* This isn't carne asada! *
Menu option: Burrito.
Choices listed: Meat or veggie. Whole wheat or white.
The dialogue:
Me: Do you have carne asada?
Him: Yes.
Me: Ok, I'll have a carne asada burrito.
Him: Yes.
Me: (Waiting patiently - no questions…More »
22. La Brasserie Street
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1H4
(778) 989-4883
Categories:
Food Stands,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* I simply don't get it *
This street cart falls firmly into the, "I simply don't get it" category for me.
They offer a single type of sandwich - chicken. So it should be downright amazing, and done perfectly, right? Hm.....
Here is what the menu…More »

Categories:
Food Stands,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Fusion failure *
I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of most fusion attempts, because except in very rare circumstances (like Le Cheval in Oakland in the early 90's) the fusion takes the worst from both worlds and ends up with something just lacking…More »
