Being in Vancouver, we’re spoiled by great Asian/Asian Fusion cuisine, so I decided to make it a separate category. Vancouver dominates and excels when it comes to Asian/Asian fusion cuisine. Here are the 20 Best of 2011!
Shanghainese
It is probably one of the most popular and well liked Shanghainese restaurants in Richmond. It’s one of my go-to’s although I like to switch things up and try new places, however if it’s a big group, nobody ever objects to this as a dinner spot.
It was a Shanghainese Juicy Pork Dumpling aka “xiao long bao” (XLB) show down and this was one of the two stands in the food court offering them. It was no contest that Xu’s XLB’s were better though. I tried a few other items, but had no luck here.
Before Xu’s Wonton House opened, it was another Shanghai restaurant called Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine. Wang’s was notorious for having “the best XLB” in Metro Vancouver, so I wanted to see if anything had changed since they’re still specializing in XLB.
I was actually surprised to see so many Chinese locals eating there because honestly I found almost all the dishes I ordered catered to Western tastes. Their award winning Juicy Pork Dumplings are very good, but there are better in the city.
The Noodles Series! See 20 of Vancouver’s delicious Asian noodle dishes. Pan-fried, wok tossed, sauteed, steamed, boiled, with or without soup it’s all about noodles! Win tickets for Kung Fu Panda 2 by telling me your favourite noodle! How big of a noodle fan are YOU!?
I might as well stop beating around the bush and just say it. Expect great food at a great price, but with the standard service you would expect from a Chinese restaurant… which is notorious for not being good. Other than that, it’s a solid find!
