vancouver, you can keep my stomach 😩
full review of my top 3 asian restaurants in Vancouver (+ an honorary mention) below 🫶🏼
1️⃣ Izakaya restaurant with really creative dishes - a quick tip: for the bento box that they only serve 8 per day, best to go about 15 minutes before they open for lunch to snatch the first walk-in table (we did this) or make a reservation (at least 2 weeks before) and reserve one! it’s great bc you get to try a little bit of everything before you order a full size dish.
📍Kingyo: 871 Denman St, Vancouver, BC V6G 2L9, Canada
2️⃣ Vietnamese-Cambodian restaurant, must try dishes are the wings and the butter beef - the wings comes in two sizes, 4 or 7 full wings, I’d reccomend getting the 7, they were soooo tasty I could not stop 🤤
📍Phnom Penh: 244 E Georgia St, Vancouver, BC V6A 1Z7, Canada
3️⃣ Chinese Hot Pot restaurant that got the stamp of approval from my spice-loving boyfriend (he said it was one of the best butters spicy broth he has ever had) - best part was the very high quality of the premium angus beef at an affordable price and also I didn’t mention in the reel but they give you free ice cream at the end too 🍦
📍Xiaolongkan: 8320 Alexandra Rd, Richmond, BC V6X 1C4, Canada
🏅Honorary mention: Legend Hot Pot 🍲 we ate here on our first night and their pork bone broth was soooo good. I could tell that it was freshly made (they included all the ingredients in the broth) - A bit pricey, but if you’re looking for a good HK-style hot pot restaurant or a late night meal, this would be the spot. They open till 2 am most days and celebs (like Lebron) have tried this too!
