Frequently Asked Questions about Dining in Vancouver
Where is the best dim sum in Vancouver?+
Richmond is the undisputed dim sum capital of Canada. Filter our Top-Rated section by Richmond neighborhood and Cantonese cuisine to see CHOPSBOOK reviewers' current favorites — most score 4.3 stars or higher.
What's the difference between Vancouver and Richmond's Asian food scenes?+
Downtown Vancouver leans toward Japanese (omakase, izakaya, ramen), modern Asian fusion, and trendy Taiwanese cafés. Richmond is the heartland of authentic Cantonese, Hong Kong-style, Northern Chinese, and Shanghainese cooking — many menus aren't even printed in English.
Does this guide cover Burnaby and Surrey too?+
Yes — CHOPSBOOK's Vancouver page covers all of British Columbia. Burnaby's Korean BBQ scene along Lougheed Highway and Surrey's growing Asian food corridor are both well represented in our listings and reviews.

About Asian Food in Vancouver
Vancouver is widely considered the Asian food capital of Canada — and many would argue, of North America. Walk down No. 3 Road in Richmond and you'll pass more authentic Cantonese, Hong Kong-style, Taiwanese, and Northern Chinese restaurants in five blocks than most cities have in their entire downtowns. Greater Vancouver is home to over 500,000 residents of Chinese heritage alone, with thriving Japanese, Korean, Filipino, and Vietnamese communities driving an equally deep dining scene.
CHOPSBOOK's Vancouver and BC guide draws on that depth. Our reviewers cover the full region — Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver — surfacing the city's strongest dim sum houses, hand-pulled noodle shops, izakayas, Korean BBQ rooms, banh mi counters, and bubble tea labs.
Filter by neighborhood to drill into Richmond's Cantonese stronghold, Burnaby's Korean Town along Lougheed, Surrey's South Asian–Asian fusion corridor, or downtown Vancouver's omakase row. Filter by cuisine to compare Hong Kong-style cafés, Sichuan, Shanghainese, Taiwanese beef noodle, Japanese sushi, Korean tofu houses, Vietnamese pho, Thai, and Filipino kamayan spots side by side.
BC's seafood quality is unmatched in Canada, and that shows in our top-rated lists — many of Vancouver's highest-scoring restaurants are Cantonese seafood specialists in Richmond and Japanese sushi counters downtown. Our Newly Added section helps you stay ahead of openings; our Most-Reviewed section shows the places generations of BC foodies keep returning to.
