"Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Yaletown, Minami Restaurant follows the pioneering footsteps of its sister restaurant, Miku, in delivering the innovative dining experience of Aburi cuisine to Vancouver's thriving food scene. Each piece of sushi is flame seared using a blowtorch and..."

"Minami is a sister restaurant to the popular Miku restaurant, and I think I actually prefer eating here. The sushi is also pretty expensive, but I find myself liking the options at Minami more. Be sure to make a reservation because it gets super busy!"

"A post shared by Anh and Chi (@anhandchi) on Jun 29, 2018 at 7:26pm PDT. One of Vancouver’s best Vietnamese restaurants, Anh and Chi, located at 3388 Main Street, has a menu chock full of pho, rolls, and grilled skewers for lunch and dinner. This spot also happens to have one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms in the city."

"Locals recommend Minami for sushi, Anh and Chi for pho, or Marutama for Ramen. Alternatively, you can eat at one of the cafes and restaurants inside Stanley Park itself. Update: 1886 is now closed."

"Residing at the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district, the Heritage Asian Eatery is actually a counter-service restaurant. They serve the delicious flavours brought straightaway from the Far-East, it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Prepared with local ingredients and traditional techniques, getting a taste of these delicious delicacies is indeed blissful."

"A post shared by Heritage Asian Eatery (@eatheritage) on Jan 17, 2018 at 9:08pm PST. A sizable bao at Heritage goes for $5, not only making for an easy fillup, but quick eat-with-your-hands food to take on the go. You’ve got your choice of pork belly, duck, shiitake, and if in season, their housemade sausage."

"Chef Felix Zhou makes Bao buns at the Heritage Asian Eatery in Vancouver. Ben Nelms/The Globe and Mail. Quick-service casual is the fastest-growing dining segment in North America and we're bound to see much more of it."

"Drawing inspiration from the bounty of the Pacific Northwest and seamlessly blending that with French techniques and Asian influences, Pidgin’s cuisine unerringly reflects the blurring of the line between East and West in Vancouver. Although perfect for bar snacks — the gochujang chicken wings are the best in the city — and genuinely thrilling for the creative cocktails with ingredients such as toasted rice rum and gunpowder tea gomme, Pidgin’s prix fixe is an exceptional value with eight mini courses of pure inventive delight for 69 Canadian dollars per person. Whisky and sake fans will love the selection, and the wine list offers global gems too."

"Pidgin is a Gastown spot that feels sort of like a basement, but one with windows that you would want to live in. You’ll find food that’s more creative than anywhere else, and it’s good for a special occasion (especially if you opt for their tasting menu) or a night spent staring into someone’s eyes. Share things like their kombu risotto, short ribs with kimchi, and pork belly rice bowl, just make sure you start with the oysters that come in shot glasses with apple granite - they’re like a briny slushie, in a somehow not weird way."

"Located in historic Gastown, we are a Vancouver restaurant paying homage to the unique cultures that make up the tapestry of this great city by seamlessly using Asian and Pacific Northwest ingredients with current techniques. We recommend the pork"

"This snug spot on Commercial Drive combines thoroughly modern dumplings, house-made soba noodles every Sunday, a sustainable and ethical nose-to-tail ethos, and a killer beverage list including wine, sherry, and sake. (Dumplings and sherry? God, yes!) Open from Wednesday to Monday, the restaurant knocks it out of the park every time with its innovative daily menus. Prepare yourself for what lies ahead by obsessing over their Instagram feed, where the team posts daily dumplings, cocktail specials, and staff meals (available to customers) such as chicken congee made with Chinese wine or braised pork belly on rice."

"Our restaurant serves Farm-to-Table Asian Fusion to our community on the drive. In the face of this pandemic we've simplified our offerings to Handmade, Frozen Dumplings and a selection of drinks. Flavours change every day and feature local"

"If you’re in the mood for Japanese, Ebisu is a great choice. And they just so happen to have a patio. So you can enjoy your favorite Japanese eats by yourself or with some friends in the fresh air of the West End."

"The Holy Crab is where you go for the kind of seafood that requires butcher paper spread on the table and an ample supply of napkins. Inspired by Louisiana spicy seafood boils, here you'll really get your hands dirty tucking into your choice of crab legs, clams, shrimp, crawfish, and more tossed in either a Cajun or Garlic sauce. Plus they do seafood rolls, and often kick things up with fun food challenges and specials."

"A post shared by The Holy Crab Canada (@theholycrabca) on Apr 19, 2019 at 1:46pm PDT. Craving some Southern-style seafood?. Look no further than The Holy Crab."

"Owners who claim their business can update listing details, add photos, and more by contacting us. Last updated: October 17, 2020"

"The worst customer service i have ever experienced in my life by this staff. Not recommending to anyone to go there."

"The Olympic Village was built in 2010 and is considered one of the greenest communities in the world. Located in False Creek, this is a great area to explore on foot, with plenty of benches, cute cafes and restaurants, and green spaces to keep you occupied for at least an hour or two."

"A beautiful shopping mall carrying designer brands, Sinclair Centre, aside from being a stunning work of marble and brass architecture complete with a glass atrium, is also for many, where they first became “Canadians.” The centre is comprised of four buildings that have been joined together, including the Federal Building where the Passport office is located. This building dates all the way back to 1910, a rich piece of Vancouver’s history."

"Journey over to downtown Vancouver’s charming Sinclair Centre to indulge in delicious Italian cuisine at L2 Leone Cafe. Stop by Ethereal Art to admire some of the brilliant crystal masterpieces created by international and Canadian designers. Shop under the seafoam-green once-copper tower of Sinclair Centre for dazzling diamonds."
