Exploring the Vancouver Area - Delicious Asian Food and More - Out of Town | Did You Eat Yet? 

I live in Vancouver and you did a great job highlighting some of the gems of the city. Great video, looking forward to the next one when you come back. ❤

I live near the crystal mall and could not be happier lol I love that place.

Thanks for coming to Vancouver - you really picked some great spots that I enjoy myself!

This video makes me feel so lucky to live here and know most of these spots. We are truly blessed by the food gods here.

Im lucky to live on the West Coast. Food is incredible

I Live in Vancouver, Enjoy the Food Scene

thanks for coming to our city! As a local, I saw so many new places to check out. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!

great overview of the dining possibilities in vancouver. great variety in choices. glad you enjoyed our city

Thanks for highlighting our city! I'm pretty impressed at the restaurants you selected - all renowned options! Cheers from Vancity

If you're a tourist going to Vancouver it's important to know that Chinatown in Vancouver isn't really much of a Chinatown anymore. It's still worth a visit as it's one of the oldest areas in the city and still is pretty cool but also be aware that it is a poor neighborhood. One of the poorest in Canada, so you're going to see lots of homeless people, and general poverty. It can be a bit of a shocking sight. Still though, the area has a lot of character and there are still some really cool shops along with the Sun Yat Sen garden which is well worth a visit. Decades ago the "Chinatown" moved out into other areas. In a way there really isn't a "Chinatown" per se but just areas where more Chinese people tend to live. Richmond being the main one. Burnaby as well as mentioned in the vid. Chinese people have been a part of the fabric of Vancouver for so long all the best Chinese restaurants and shops are just all over the place and there isn't really some kind like touristy neon sign type area that is recognizable as a Chinatown where everything is. So you just have to research and explore.

Best HK style food in the world.

Sun Fresh bau's is the best. The rice rolls are freaking fresh and tasty.

the actual “Chinatown “it's around the airport city call “Richmond” ,the massive 80% to 90%Chinese population 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ you gonna be impressed … 😂

i don't drive into vancouver often, the traffic is terrible, but this makes me want to take the bus and the skytrain to it for a day to just walk around and check places out.

Born and raised in Vancouver and you picked out some amazing places! There’s more you haven’t covered so we’ll wait to see where you go when you come back next!

Recommend coming in the summer and going to the richmond night market. For sure richmond is where the chinese food is at! Also recommend kissa tanto, go fish or pajos in steveston for fish and chips (gotta try the salmon), japadog -- go to the storefront on robson for the shoyu fries, dinesty for xlb, shanghai river for peking duck, fishermans terrace or continental seafood for dim sum, ongba for vietnamese, joe fortes happy hour for the seafood tower. I lived in the bay for a few years and wish we had the taquerias here like in the mission.

Great video. I miss Vancouver, that pasta looks fantastic. Cheers!

Great vlog and new places to visit! I usually head over to Richmond for Chinese grub.

Great video, Victor! ❤

awesome video, as a vancourite I haven't been to half the food places you both went too. I really gotta check them out!

2 things that stood out: 1. Yours wife's beautifully manicured nails in that gorgeous shade of baby pink 2. That tailored made pivoted rolling pin for the dumpling skins PS: If you think with the wee bairn's arrival you would still have a personal life, you have another think coming lol

I'm a Vancouverite and I'm quite impressed with the list of restaurants you recommended, since it was your first trip to Vancouver. If you're returning to Vancouver, you should check out 'Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen' Vietnamese Restaurant on Victoria Street. Gotta try the deep fried fish with vermicelli in soup 😋

I just came back from Vancouver and wish I saw your video before so I can hit up some of these spots 😫

I miss Vancity! Great vid sir, best of luck being a new Dad.

Excellent video! The food scene in Vancouver is amazing and I also love visiting Crystal mall when I visit the Burnaby area! Since you enjoyed Ask for Luigi, I would recommend Osteria Savio Volpe and Cioppino's for next time.

Looks so tasty!!!

Oh by the way, many of the Asian restaurant have Fantuan ordering option for take out. Perhaps more so relevant if you live in Canada - if you use your Koho card you get a bonus 6% cashback on all Fantuan transactions with the 1.5% on food. You basically get about 7.5% discount on all takeout orders lol. This on top of the special deals only on the Fantuan app. (Thought of this when seeing the Fantuan sticker at the entrance of your first stop) Also, ask for Luigi is definitely one of the best pastas in Vancouver. If you’re looking to complement it with trying pizza next time you can consider via tevere which is near the area or Lombardo’s. Both in grandview-woodland neighbourhood which is kind of like little Italy. Pizza Farina is ran by the same people as ask for Luigi if I remembered correctly. They have great pizzas too.

Vancouver ❤ 🇨🇦

Nice video man. I wanna take a trip there

Hope you guys had a good trip here in Vancouver :)

Great video! It's not everyday that you see Sunfresh featured on a YT food vlog. By me and my wife's standards, they serve the best baozi in the city. Hell, it's better than most baozi I get when I go back to Taiwan. As you said, so juicy. Another Chinatown staple for cha chaan teng is Maxim's. Sure, Richmond has a ton more, and they may even be better, but I've yet to find one that makes better french toast. The coconut butter in the middle puts it over the edge. Poor Chinatown has kinda got the shit kicked out of it over the years, but the heart is still there. So many lovely people live and work in that neighbourhood. I always go there to eat, and support the community. I'm really happy to see you did too. As for recommendations: For stellar cha chaan teng in Richmond, you can't beat Lido and Double Double. Lido is your standard HK diner, but with amazing pineapple buns and radish cakes. Double Double has the best radish cakes I've ever had. I don't know what they do to them, but it's like deep fried savoury ice cream. I'm sure HK BBQ Master in Richmond was on your list, and it's worth the trip. The pork is usually the most popular order, but for me, it's all about the soy chicken. It's insanely juicy and flavourful. I prefer it to the pork. Yaohan Center in Richmond has my favourite noodle dish. Ajea Noodle sells dry Chongqing-style spicy noodles, and they're phenomenal. I used to live in Shanghai, and frequent a Chengdu noodle house run by an acclaimed Sichuan chef, and the ones at Ajea compete with those. I'd recommend venturing out to East Vancouver next time. Kingsway, Fraser St and Victoria Drive have a lot of good food. Crab Hot Lau on Kingsway serves North Vietnamese crab Hot Pot, and it's amazing. Thanks for the video, man. I enjoyed it.

Great reviews!!! Wow! So cool to know Toisan is spoken in Vancouver!!

I live Downtown Vancouver and I'm SERIOUSLY impressed with how well you selected your spots! Like bro, did you have local help?? Cause you hit all the right spots, even down to the finer spots like Annalena and Ask For Luigi, which you probably got from the Michelin guide, but going to Crystal Mall foodcourt and Richmond, which has lie a thousand amazing restaurants, was a good move. I'm interested in how you research for different locations you visit, since I can say from personal experience you nailed this one.

That char-siu looked like huge slices of Canadian bacon!

lol i got recommended this video. welcome to our city should've tried the butter beef from phnom penh tho

Great food yes, but crazy prices too!

It's no secret that the best Chinese Food outside of China is in Vancouver. A lot of my Chinese side of the family say it's even better than at home. Hope you get to try more and more the next trip here. :)

great choices while you were here! Chinatown has taken a hard hit with the opioid epidemic and a lot of business have closed or moved to Richmond unfortunately. Next time you come, visit my partners aunts restaurant in Richmond, Wo Fung and have the chicken wings, you will not be disappointed :)

I’m sitting at the table to the right of your camera at Phnom Penh 😂

the alternate Chinatown is in Richmond. the Chinese restaurants there are world class.

I’m not sure how long you have been editing videos , but you seem like a seasoned pro . I’m from Vancouver and crystal mall is the best Asian food court in B.C.

1:35 Hate to say it, but the Chinatown in Vancouver is a shadow of itself. In the 1980s, the government decided to position the homeless shelters 2 blocks away, and since then the area has just gone downhill. The community were housed in old housing stock, so younger generations migrated out to the surburbs. Without fresh blood, the shops gradually declined and went away. The pandemic was one of the final nails in the coffin. Now you're more likely to see cafes, tattoo parlors, weed shops and skateboard shops in the "Chinatown".

next time you come, you should def try out miku!

Explore Richmond City at Vancouver airport!!! Most Asian city in North America. Go to Surrey or Northeast Calgary(Alberta) for North Indian.

One of my favorite things about being born and raised here is our multiculturism. It weaves such a beautiful life. We have so many different cultures to celebrate and enjoy here. There are equal opportunities for every ethnicity!

How was it compared to Chinese food in the bay?

The bay is San francisco bay?

im sad motonobu got a star. the system really screws over locals in the area who eat at this joints as i can't even get a seat there or phnom penh anymore.

Victor love your content, would be great to turn the music down a bit (10%?) to hear your narration better

I’m so homesick. Vancouver is the best town on earth.

our Chinatown is quiet... too many homeless and druggies... best is in Richmond

Go to Richmond

Come to toronto

More to the Vancouver food scene than Asian food. Every RU-vidr goes directly to this cuisine first and foremost and I shake my head all the time. Now before I get the racist card , privilege card, racist remarks and every other derogatory 💩thrown my way I’ll inform you that I’ve been thoroughly educated in the culinary world. Hold certifications in numerous parts of the hospitality world and spent 20 plus years of life in this field. I’ve been to other parts of the world and been shown, cooked, eaten various ethnic cuisines. More to the world than meets the eye. I encourage you to visit other parts of the lower mainland and explore the restaurant scenes next time you come here .

Great video
