Visit Vancouver's Best Asian Restaurants and Taste the Flavor
"There are a ton of amazing places to enjoy dim sum in Vancouver, but Kirin never disappoints with their dim sum spread as it boasts authentic flavour and is also very reasonably priced. To truly experience dim sum, come with a larger group so you are able to sample several of their award-winning dishes like steamed prawn dumplings, pan-fried pork belly buns and xiao long bao, AKA soup dumplings. Address: 1172 Alberni Street, VancouverPhone: 604-682-8833"
"Dim sum fans should make a reservation at Kirin, a restaurant renowned for its award-winning dumplings. Ng recommends the chicken abalone steamed bun and the pork siu mai, which is made with hand-chopped meat. Preparing the pork this way is rare, she says, and gives it a distinct “contrasting crunchy and succulent texture” that stands out – even in a city that excels at Chinese cuisine."
"Praised by critics as one of the best premium Chinese dining experiences-exquisite seafood dishes in a warm, authentic and elegant atmosphere. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: Shirt/Slacks Req.Phone: +1 604-682-8833"
"Classically trained chef, and star of Top Chef Canada, Chef Felix Zhou runs the counter service establishment Heritage Asian Eatery. His restaurant serves classic comfort food with an Asian flair, such as pork belly bao, five-spice chicken wings, XLB dumplings, and duck rice bowls. Head to Heritage for Far East cuisine and locally sourced ingredients in a casual setting."
"Heritage Asian Chorizo Sausage and Shiitake Mushrooms Baos (Hanna McLean/Daily Hive). Chef Felix Zhou’s new Asian-inspired breakfast and lunch counter-service restaurant is open in Vancouver’s Financial District, and his second Mount Pleasant spot should be opening soon. Grab a bao and an order of this spot’s signature wings and see what all the fuss is about."
"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."
"While most of the notable Chinese spots in the area are located beyond the Vancouver city limits in suburban Richmond, Dynasty is one of the exceptions. Specializing in Chiuchow cuisine, a sub-style of Cantonese cookery, Dynasty’s menu respects its birthplace: expect plenty of seafood, vegetables, and subtle, delicate flavors. The restaurant's reputation was largely built through the efforts of now-retired chef Sam Leung, who, in addition to employing classic Chiuchow approaches, wasn’t afraid to color outside the lines."
"Dynasty boasts twinkling chandeliers, views over the city from its first-floor perch on West Broadway, and, thanks to chef Sam Leung, some of the city’s best modern Chinese food. Open daily from 10 a.m. for dim sum, its standouts are the buttery barbecue pork cha siu bao with baked lemon, and the silky, wafer-thin dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp, scallops, and black truffles."
"A post shared by RC (@88theglobetrotter) on Aug 15, 2019 at 12:58pm PDT. Traditional Cantonese dishes with a touch of West Coast flair make for an unforgettable dim sum experience at Dynasty. The food and service is always consistently good and their Black Truffle Dumplings are downright addictive, so consider yourself warned."

"Our readers turned us on to the awesomeness that are Breka’s freshly made doughnuts. With Boston Cream and Apple Fritters available 24-hours a day, it should definitely be on you go-to list. Address: Four Vancouver locations (Fraser, Bute, Davie, and 4th Ave); check website for details"
"Breka is more than a tourist spot and a late-night study option for university students. For 15 years now, the bakery has been serving great donuts (starting at $1.50) alongside a whole bunch of other reasonably priced items. But, this is a donut list, and they deserve a spot on here."
"We're offering 2 options: pick-up in store at all 5 locations, or you can order from UberEats and get free delivery at this time."
"A true hidden gem in the sense that you’ve got to be looking for Coho Coffee in order to find it. This cafe lives in the front space of Coho Collective’s newest commissary location, and it offers unreal lattes and often has drool-worthy experimental baked goods up for order. Address: 1370 East Georgia Street, Vancouver"
"Coho has been lurking around the coffee scene for a few years now, as the creators of A Brunch Affair. So I was particularly excited when they said they were opening a coffee shop. But this one has a major difference to it: All the food here is cooked in the enormous commissary kitchen in the back."
"Tucked away from the hustle bustle of city life the Spanish Banks Beach is one of the quietest beaches in Vancouver and the best place to take a stroll and if you are visiting Vancouver with your beloved this is your escape from the world. The name ‘Spanish Banks’ honours the time when Spanish and English met on the shores back in 1792 and that adds a historical touch to this place. If you know optimal tidal conditions well, this beach is the best place for skimming."
"A favorite beach among Vancouverites, Spanish Banks stretches along the west coast of Vancouver, far from the hubbub of the city's urban beaches. Perfect for family barbecues, letting the dog run free (in designated zones), and taking long walks, this beloved beach is best in the morning and early afternoon when low tide lets you walk far out to sea. Map to Spanish Banks"
"There are three distinct parts to Spanish Banks – Spanish Banks East, West and Extension – and its name commemorates the time when the English and Spanish met on its shores in 1792. Spanish Banks East and West have the same amenities, but West is a designated quiet beach. Meanwhile, the Extension is a kiteboarding launch zone."
"Mochido is actually the newest name on this list, having only opened earlier this spring!. They’ve already made some waves thanks to their super interesting ‘mochi donut’, which is like a bunch of little interconnected balls. We have to admit, these folks might get the nod for ‘coolest looking’ on our list of best donuts in Vancouver."
