Vancouver Taiwanese Food
See All Lists
1. Ali Shan Restaurant
* Reliable Taiwanese *
When at Crystal Mall I generally zoom right into the food court and don't think twice about the sit down restaurants as there are so many good options in the food court (http://www.yelp.ca/lis...).
But I decided to sit down…More »
2. The One Restaurant
* Really solid Taiwanese *
Thanks to Janice F's recommendation I have been meaning to check this spot out. Glad I finally did.
The Taiwanese chicken nuggets were presented nicely with some fried basil - nice touch. The chicken itself was very moist…More »
3. Accord Food House
"The tendon factory is closed." is what the friendly man who sat me down and took my order told me when I ordered the beef tendon noodle soup. I didn't know tendons had their own factory. I can only imagine what it must look like. Perhaps it is…More »
4. Lingering Flavor
Vancouver, BC V5R 5L1
(604) 434-8648
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Killarney, Renfrew-Collingwood
* Really solid Taiwanese hole-in-the-wall *
Stumbled into this little place today for lunch. The couple behind the counter was really friendly, and the menu was the usual suspects for Taiwanese snack food.
I got the Taiwanese chicken nugget combo,…More »
5. Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 295-9357
Category:
Taiwanese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* Silent service *
Have you ever been a restaurant where the staff doesn't speak? I was greeted by the hostess with a hand gesture, and she ushered me to a table without a word.
On the table there was a menu, and a paper version of the same with…More »
6. YY Village Taiwan & Shanghai Food
* Taiwanese food with a Cantonese twist *
Fusion has been happening for thousands of years, but in the modern dining lexicon it takes on such a specific meaning. A meaning which conjures up images very different than this nice little hole in the…More »
7. Liu's Taiwanese Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 4A7
(604) 214-0366
Category:
Taiwanese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* Home of the three legged Taiwanese chicken *
This Taiwanese hole-in-the-wall continues to excel at its house specialty of Taiwanese style fried chicken. They recently renovated, but the food is the same thankfully!
They serve you three huge fried…More »

This is a very solid hole-in-the-wall Taiwanese spot. Their… Read more »
8. Tri-ty Café
Richmond, BC V6X 3K2
(604) 231-8997
Categories:
Taiwanese,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
This Taiwanese cafe is tucked away in the Save-on parking lot and easily missed if you aren't looking for it. Even though it is in a non-descript parking lot it has a modern decor with nice lighting touches and odd sound effects in the washroom…More »
9. Pearl Castle Café
Richmond, BC V6X 3Z9
(604) 270-3939
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Chinese,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* Solid Taiwanese cafe *
Ok, I have to preface this by saying I didn't try any of the bubble teas, and I see from other reviews that those are hit or miss. I was just there for a quick lunch, and enjoyed it quite a bit.
I had the "salt and pepper…More »
10. Huang's Beef Noodles
* Really solid Taiwanese *
This is a classic hole-in-the-wall. There are perhaps 6 tables, a little counter, and a single woman serving.
The menu is very straightforward Taiwanese including all of the usual suspects like beef noodle soup, pork chop,…More »
11. Kalvin's Szechuan Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5P 3V4
(604) 321-2888
* Sichuan-influenced Taiwanese hole-in-the-wall *
Fortunately this place came highly recommended.
Unfortunately every time I tried the lines were just so ridiculously long that I gave up and ate somewhere else.
Fortunately as I passed by today there…More »
12. Kao's Family Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 4B3
(604) 278-6606
Category:
Taiwanese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* A wonderful little gem in a back corner of a strip mall *
Stumbled onto this small unassuming hole-in-the-wall Taiwanese spot.
It really has the feel of a family run restaurant with the father taking orders, the mother cooking in the back with the…More »
13. Chopstick's
* English? *
I visited Asia today - without a plane. But I sadly forgot to bring a dictionary!
I tried to go and sample G-men's ramen but the line was too long and I was hungry so I wandered into this spot a few doors down which I later found out is…More »
14. Dash
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2R6
(604) 681-8212
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
* Taiwanese cafe in Yaletown *
While the Greater Vancouver area has a lot of really good Taiwanese options, there aren't so many on the downtown peninsula. So this comes as a welcome addition to Yaletown.
I popped in for a quick bite and got the…More »
15. Beefy Beef Noodle House
* Closest decent Taiwanese to downtown *
Ok, when I can't schlep all the way out to Burnaby to visit Accord Food House (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) for Taiwanese beef noodle soup, this spot is the most decent Taiwanese beef noodle soup not too far from…More »
16. Joy's Taiwanese Food
Richmond, BC V6X 2C3
(604) 270-4898
* Food court Taiwanese *
This corner spot under a brightly lit sign (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) had a grumpy grandma behind the counter whom I am assuming is named "Joy" because she certainly wasn't "joy"ful.
She isn't big on talking or smiling, but…More »
17. Lao Shan Dong Homemade Noodle House
* Definitely one of the better Taiwanese beef noodle places *
Thank you to Ken K. (http://www.yelp.com/us...) for suggesting this spot after his careful reading of Chinese language websites in the Vancouver area. Good tip, Ken!
Sometimes crowds…More »
18. Morning Star Bubble Tea
* Taiwanese reincarnation of a Mexican place *
Tucked away in an industrial part of North Vancouver is this little restaurant that is decorated like a Mexican restaurant. Signs that led me to that conclusion:
1) Cactus shaped window metal theft bars…More »
19. 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 »
20. Tapioca Express
Vancouver, BC V5W 3A4
(604) 568-1966
Categories:
Taiwanese,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Sunset
* LOOOOONG Menu at a spot that you could never tell was a chain *
I stumbled into this spot after a failed attempt to go to one of the "spots on my list" (my list of new places to check out). Somehow this spot wasn't on my list, but apparently has…More »
21. Well Tea
Vancouver, BC V6T 1K6
(604) 222-0016
Ok, I finally got back and tried the food. Let me sum it up with a "stick to the tea." I really do enjoy the tea here - the variety they have is nice, the pearls are well prepared, and the servings are generous (although priced on the higher side).…More »

Categories:
Food,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge
* 10, 20, 5555, Hike! *
I've never seen so many football player sized waiters in a single restaurant. Is there a Taiwanese football team that requires all of its players to work here or something?!?!?!?!? Perhaps that also explains the large number…More »
23. Nana Dumplings & Bubble Tea House
Vancouver, BC V5R 5M2
(604) 558-1817
* New homelike Taiwanese snack shop *
This newly opened snack shop has a very homelike feel - complete with a futon, baby sitting in a carriage on the way to the washroom, laptop computer hooked up to a TV playing downloaded materials, and a couple…More »
24. Tony's Beef Noodle
Vancouver, BC V5Z
(604) 327-5061
Category:
Taiwanese
Neighbourhoods: Riley Park, Oakridge
This casual eatery offers all of the typical items at a Taiwanese beef noodle house including, of course, beef noodle soup. You get a choice of thick or thin (I recommend the thick - which appear to be handcut at the shop). A small bowl is a very…More »
25. Super Wok
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3
(778) 371-4493
To start off: Stupid name! I picture a bad stereotyped version of a Chinese Superman that has been poorly copied and instead of being a man of steel has a wok to protect him from bullets. His alter-ego has Mao style glasses and is named Crark.…More »
26. Super Wok
* Déjà vu all over again? *
I set out today to try Tasty Hungarian Goulash, the Hungarian restaurant on Dunsmuir (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...). I had just passed by it recently and made a mental note to come back for lunch one day.
I arrived and…More »
27. Little Tea Shop
Vancouver, BC V6T
(604) 222-8822
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: UBC
Ok, the name really matches. This spot is little (it is basically a counter with some storage behind it). They sell bubble tea.
Do you know the story of Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears? That is how their pearls are. Some are too hard, some…More »
28. Estea Beverage Club
Burnaby, BC V5E 1E1
(604) 438-0186
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Taiwanese,
Juice Bars & Smoothies
* Mediocre Taiwanese drinks and snacks *
This was my first time visiting Estea, but based on previous reviews it no longer is what it used to be - the quality just wasn't there.
The Taiwanese chicken nuggets were not well seasoned, and had too much…More »
29. Corner 23
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2X8
(604) 879-8815
This Taiwanese cafe is in the heart of the area decimated by the Canada Line construction. The street is open again, and things are starting to open up and flourish, and now I even have ventured back to the area to see what is left after the storm!

30. Gogotea Cafe - CLOSED
Richmond, BC V6X 4E2
(604) 244-7336
Categories:
Tea Rooms,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
* Simply bad *
Stopped in for a quick lunch as I needed a place that had easy parking - which this does.
But the goodness stopped with the easy free parking there:
1) Watery bubble tea
2) Undercooked hard bubbles
3) Chicken knees had more salt than a…More »
31. Tapioca Express
Richmond, BC V6X
(604) 278-4998
* Another Canadian location of this US boba chain *
Ok, I keep stumbling onto Tapioca Express spots in the area now after my first stumble into the one on Fraser in Vancouver: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
After randomly spotting this one in Richmond I…More »
32. E Tea
Vancouver, BC V5M 2Z1
(604) 453-1832
* Nice people, but the product quality is low *
Popped in for a quick lunch. Had the Taiwanese beef noodle soup, which came on special with a milk tea with pearls. The server was super friendly and brought over some complimentary roasted peanuts…More »
33. Wang's Beef Noodle House
I used to come to this location often - when it was called Taiwan Beef Noodle and was open 24 hours a day. They renovated and changed names. Many of the menu items are the same, but the quality has definitely gone down hill. Service can be quite…More »
34. Sunflower Bubble Tea
Vancouver, BC V5R 4G8
(604) 909-0669
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
A disappointing little spot right outside the Joyce skytrain station. They use powders for their fruit flavours in bubble teas. I hate powders! I love real fruit! I want real fruit! I demand real fruit! I want to lead the real fruit revolution…More »
