My Wife is Chinese, HK born , She has been in Canada longer than me, so I am the Gwailo immigrant. We have eaten in many of the restaurants you have featured here. Also many restaurants large and small in Vancouver, Burnaby and Coquitlam Love the BBQ Duck @ T&T. Thanks for the video.
If you come again and want to try the push cart dimsum there is only one restaurant left in Richmond that has them. It’s called Continental Seafood Restaurant. Not as fancy as Chef Tony but food is hot and service is good.
Oh nice, I stayed in Richmond for my job certification training at the airport. Wish I had known about this place while I was there, next time I suppose. There was a nice little Vegetarian Chinese food place down the street from the hotel where I stayed, they had the best tofu Bao buns and veggie Kung Pao “chicken”.
Vancouver is known as Hongcouver. Thousands of people from Hong Kong immigrated to the Vancouver area in the 80s and 90s. That’s why there’s so much amazing Cantonese food there.
@@AmandaFelixEats glad to see you guys traveling. I watched all of your videos last year before going to Hawaii. Glad you made it out to the west coast. Come on down to Northern California next time!
Its changed alot over the last 10+ years... many hong kong restaurants have closed and taken over by mainland chinese restaurants with the influx of mainlanders immigrating over here.
There is also plenty of bad Chinese, in fact, the worst I've had is in Vancouver. I've had it better almost everywhere else. You have to know where you're dining.
It's been known as Hongcouver for a while now. Different cities in the lower mainland have unique profiles...like Surrey has a large Indian population, many Filipinos in East Vancouver, etc.
Great vids, been thinking of heading that way... so thank you for the visits! BTW, try chili sauce/oil with soy sauce for your dipping sauce...takes it all to a different level.
Another great and exciting job of highlighting foods whereever u visit. So much fun! Made me want to visit canada! Looks like u had a blast!! I do hope u visit these places again and visit more foodie places. Dim sum looked amazing. Esp the roast pork n char sui. Great job!!!❤
I had to chuckle when you mentioned all the airplane sounds when you were outside trying the BBQ. Richmond is where the Vancouver Airport is so you hear planes all the time. Glad you are enjoying my home city of Vancouver.
love the spots you chose! there is so much more to eat in the area. Hopefully you will come again and try the mochi bubble waffle at the bbl tea shop. I recently had the s'mores bbl waffle and the parfaits are delicious too. Yes, the pineapple buns at Lido are good but a few doors down at Harmony Bakery they have make to order rice rolls and also deep fried mochi and meat dumplings! I enjoyed Felix's reaction to the bbq meats (eyes closed in meat bliss) lol.
Oh YUM! Big craving for dim sum now. And yeah, finally gotta go try Happy Lemon just down the street from me. 😆 Thank you for your excellent videos and taking us along with you! 😍
OMG Amanda and Felix in Vancouver! I watched so many of your eat videos before going to Oahu this past February 2024. Now I’m going to Vancouver to cruise to Alaska this May 2024 and I’m watching TH-cam to see where to eat in Vancouver 😂 and who’s in Vancouver! Btw they stopped using carts in dim sum restaurants to put in more tables, a local explained in another video. Best wishes, safe travels. Aloha 🌸💕
Yes, Chinese mustard with shoyu is definitely a Hawaii thing. I've lived in the SF Bay Area for a pretty long time and have never seen it on a table yet.
Dim Sum “Touch of the Heart” is my favorite among Chinese food.. simply put, it’s served in small portion that touches your hearts foodie desires. Vancouver’s China Town seem to offer vast variety of authentic Hong Kong Style dim sum, bake goods and Chinese BBQ in comparison to most of the Chinese restaurants here in the North Bay…I do enjoy Dim Sum restaurants back home in Honolulu at the Chinese Cultural Center maybe because that’s where I was raised. Enjoy you both immensely.. Aloha!
My mum and I were traveling in Zimbabwe in the 90s and we met a woman from Hong Kong. She said many of the best chefs from Hong Kong had recently immigrated to Vancouver.
Duck, roast pork, char shui and soya chicken all delicious, exceptional flavor! Would definitely go back if I'm in Vancouver and thanks for the tip about "cash only" (so typical Asian)
@@AmandaFelixEats I totally agree with this fellow Torontonian commenter! Toronto has a huge HK influence and the food is awesome and also very diverse. Come to Toronto! We even have a few hālau here so we'd love to meet up with the both of you when the day comes and you're actually in our city!
@1:09, the rail behind you looks like ours in design! Except...theirs is FINISHED, I assume! Anyway, I like that dim sum place because the food looked great, and I prefer that style of ordering, kind of like Jade Dynasty in AM. No need to ask the server to keep lifting covers to see what she has! Squid ink one looked great! Different! Funny how so many places were cash only! Even Royal Kitchen takes cards!
Yay! I'm so glad you tried dimsum here and top choice for Chinese BBQ. Fun. 😁 Too bad about the confusion with the "cash only". Annoying eh. We have a few other fave dimsum spots ( Sun Sui Wah on Main St, Vancouver and KIRIN ..) i guess everyone has their faves. Main Street (Mount Pleasanr) is a cool foodie area. Anyway, such good research again you two. So fun to see you in my city. 🤩🇨🇦🤓
@@AmandaFelixEats You guys did really well. You will have to return here to get the roast duck :) Cannot wait to return to your beautiful homeland and try your great suggestions for ono grinds !!💚
Guys loved your video today. The dim sum looked amazing and made my mouth water. Grew up in Hawaii but live near San Francisco now but I have visited BC many times. Just outside of Richmond in Burnaby there’s a little Asian mall with more good Chinese food if you have the time to go there. Kind of hidden but well worth going.
Lol, you guys didn't even scratch the surface of the incredible chinese food options in Richmond. Richmond is like our second home as we are 1 province over and visit several times a year. Those streets are near and dear to me and fun seeing you guys walk it too. I knew you guys went to chef Tony from weeks ago when you posted pics... For your return trip to YVR, I'd recommend Fisherman's terrace, Kirin, Yue restaurant, and Sun Sui Wah for dim sum or sit down dinner. Those 4 resto are the top 4 dim sum places annually in Richmond, take your pick. As for the dim sum tasting light, that to me is the tell tale sign of master level dim sum. Most lesser places are heavy and greasy imho. Forgot to mention that the rushed sensation you experienced is typical of Cantonese restaurants. Wait till you visit Hong Kong and you will see what fast paced is like lol. Island pace vs HK /Asia pace is eye opening. Glad you enjoyed the food, keep the content coming!
@@AmandaFelixEats I completely understand! As a fellow foodie, always more spots to try than time and the stomach can handle unless we are all Mikey Chen or Mark Wiens! You guys need to make it to Asia next to further experience the incredible flavors on offer there. Safe travels!
Hey guys, welcome to Hong Kong-couver! Whichever Chinese restaurant you try here, you will be wowed. There is no bad restaurant here because they don't exist, the folks here are very quick to make sure they go bust.
If you're still in Vancouver see if you can locate roast goose. Hard to find in the states and is a staple in Hong Kong BBQ places. Loved the food crawl as usual!
There are lots of currency exchange places nearby, unlike the US. The place that offers the best rate is Kingmark at Yohan Centre. Next time try dunking the dim sum into XO hot chilli oil. This is how its done in HK and here.
Haha I was surprised to see this , being Irish/Scottish/ French mix raised on “wild game and potatoes” Canadian. wasn’t sure I really had any special knowledge or expertise but I have been raving for years and years that Richmond has the best Asian food and Cheapest in the entire pacific rim, now I’m super hungry.
Bonjour - Good Day Amanda and Felix. I was born in Asia - Philippines. I lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada more than 45 years. I been to Mainland China many times. Every provences of China is very different. The Chinese Food in Vancouver, Canada is different from Toronto, Canada. Montreal, Canada is the French-Canadian city located in Eastern Canada. Montreal, Canada have a Chinese-French--Canadian style food and it is different from Paris-French-Chinese Food and London-English-Chinese Food. The Chinese Food in Canada is different from American-Chinese Food.
It's fascinating to see people from around the world try "Vancouver" chinese food. I've lived in BC for nearly 30 years, and I lived 6 years of it close to Vancouver. Been to Richmond a LOT over the years. At the time I mainly went to eat with my parents and they are super picky about chinese food. We have so much choice in BC that it's overwhelming but they always manage to dwindle our choices done to like 1 or 2 regulars, and everything else gets ignored lmao
I am born and raised in Richmond and I love the fact you call it chinatown XD, Technically not chinatown, asians just overwhelmed everything and spread the asian food and culture all over Richmond, but we all love it haha Come back and try MORE! there is so much more good asian food in Richmond and Vancouver
It would be nice to have each item clearly noted for us who are not Chinese speakers or familiar with the full dim sum menu. Thank you for those you did mention.
I've walked past HK Masterplace a few times, but never tried it. Now I'll have to go eat there next time I'm in Richmond. Aww, to think I was just there yesterday but chose to have lunch at Arbedeen mall nearby. Do visit the food court at Arbedeen mall the next time you're back in Richmond. It's an Asian mall with Korean, Chinese, Japanese stores, restuarants, and food court. Ofc, bring cash, lol.
Great video food tour! And thank you for visiting Canada. Sounds like Richmond is the best place by in Canada for Dim Sum. Oh…. here in Manitoba-20 to -50 is a normal winter temp range. If you’re just wear a jacket it wonderful weather. Would love to visit Hawaii. Come back and see more of Canada. Steve(66 yrs)
The airport is located in Richmond so many parts are under the flight zone. It's quite disconcerting and you can see how low the planes are just before they land which is mildly exciting.
Local Chinese Canadians can tell you that the best dim sum offered includes better pricing, freshly made to order food, and in most cases, a 30-45 minute wait, since they are the most popular. Fusion, high priced ingredients with matching prices can take a hike.
I love you were greeted with traditional what tea do you want to drink 👍 I can hear Cantonese and mandarin 🙏💪 but when you start putting mustard on food, I switched off!!! 😳 Yes def only a Hawaii thing.
All the Dim Sum you ordered looked so yummy. Loved seeing Felix's eyes roll back when eating the Truffle Sui Mai, the Eel Puff Pastry as well as the BBQ Pork. My family uses the Chinese mustard and soy sauce mixture to dip dim sum in and to pour over chow mein, and chow fun. This is pretty old school as most people only use chili oil and soy nowadays. So great to see you guys enjoying food away from your home ground; kind of what happens when we vacation in Hawaii. Hope to see your on-the-road episodes in the future.
there's only about 5 or 6 restuarants left in vancouver that offer push carts. If you ever head back here, hit me up. Not everyone uses the hot mustard or red hot sauce, it really preference, they don't give it to you because honestly, they're cheap and don't want it wasted if it's not used. if you ever come across a truffled mushroom dumpling, that really works. Duck is in a shortage in Vancouver due to a local bird flu epidemic in the farms, the prices have risen over 40% in the past few months.
Richmond, British Columbia is an independent, incorporated municipality / city. Like Burnaby, BC, North Vancouver, BC, and other independent cities, it comprises what is referred to as "Metro Vancouver."
HK (Hong Kong) BBQ Master has the best roasted pork. Thats my go to. The duck is also very good but it is always sold out. Needs to order and reserve ahead of time. How do you find the food in Vancouver compares to Hawaii?
Vancouver has a lot of delicious Asian food…ie Chinese dim sum ( shown here) and hotpot, Japanese sushi (best sushi outside of Japan )and ramen,Korean barbecue, Vietnamese Pho and Bánh mi, India butter chicken, and tandoori chicken,Taiwanese bubble tea, Thai and Malaysia ten courses meal, ….
Great video guys. The Char Siu looked mouthwatering. I was actually in Vancouver last summer and had an amazing time. Too bad you guys didn’t come in the Summer season. The Richmond Night Market in that area is awesome. It’s only open on weekends in April until Fall I believe. Hundreds of Asian street food stalls with so much food. It totally has an Asian atmosphere. Maybe on your next trip there down the road.
The international airport is in Richmond lol which was why there were so many planes. I would reccomend Tian Shi Fu in Richmond. Hole in the wall but everything is so good and affordable! Also, I get that because it is like 90% Chinese in Richmond, one would think it is our Chinatown but the actual Chinatown is in Vancouver. If you ever come back and visit chinatown, Phnom Penh (must get wings, luc lac, butter beef), Juke fried chicken, New Town Bakery are popular there along with other Japanese fusion. It is kinda sketchy there so I would suggest not going any streets past these restaurants.
HK BBQ is ok . I tried it before and it was recommended by people. We bought a couple of duck and BBQ pork several years ago and brought it home from in Seattle and again it was OK. If you guys ever try another place and it would be the Dollar Meat Store in Vancouver BC China Town, To us they are much better.
You guys should eat at the HK BBQ instead of take out. Everything tastes good with hot fresh rice. Too bad you guys missed the roast duck due to avian flu, no local farm fresh duck for a while now. Sometimes they have duck imported from the US but still very expensive. Enjoy your stay in Vancouver. Ritz is a MUST have for pineapple bun! 😋

For dim sum, we recommend CONTINENTAL SEAFOOD RESTAURANT for classic push cart dimsum, one of the only few left in Vancouver area. :)
Wow. We are from Vancouver, so nice to see a video from home!
Yay!! Happy we got to visit your town!😋
Very informative! Great work! And…YUM!
Glad you liked it🤙🏻 mahalo!
So much fun. So much food to try. Those black ink Dim sum looked soooo fancy
There was so much in the menu! Wish we could’ve eaten more 🤤
Vancouver has the best Chinese food. We were there last November and we are going back this April. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Hope you have a great trip this April ✈️🤤

Hope you can check both places out!🤤💕
Richmond has the best Dim Sum! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Awesome choice. Chef tony is one the best dim sum place in vancouver
Yay! Glad we choose this spot🤤
So happy you got to try HK BBQ master! My fave! I love their BBQ duck but definitely their BBQ pork and roast pork are the best!
We definitely wanna go back for the duck 🤤
Great vids, been thinking of heading that way... so thank you for the visits! BTW, try chili sauce/oil with soy sauce for your dipping sauce...takes it all to a different level.

I had to remind Felix that we’re near the airport 😂 lol
And also the area you were in is in the flight path for planes landing at the airport
I love the next time* previews lol keep up the great content u guys
Yay! Glad you like that addition to our travel vlogs 🤙🏻💕
Thanks, guys for introducing an “expat” Vancouverite to Richmond dim sum!! Like your down to earth foodie fanatic take!!❤️

Richmond also has a summer outdoor market on weekends. The vendors sell similar food you'd see in mainland China night markets.
Noticed the way you two react when savouring something exceptional: her eyes open wide, he closes his.

I think you guys would love the chinese food In Toronto too! Lots of HK influences there as well. I love the blooper outtakes!
We’d love to visit Toronto next time🤤💕

Too bad about the confusion with the "cash only". Annoying eh.
We have a few other fave dimsum spots ( Sun Sui Wah on Main St, Vancouver and KIRIN ..) i guess everyone has their faves. Main Street (Mount Pleasanr) is a cool foodie area.
Anyway, such good research again you two. So fun to see you in my city. 🤩🇨🇦🤓
We should’ve did more research about the cash only places but we’re happy we got to try some of the places out!🤤 mahalo for all the suggestions!🙌🏼

Not to take anything away from Richmond, you should try the 626 (SGV) in Southern California. So many great Asian places to eat.
We have that on our list of places for sure💯🙏🏼🤤

Great you’re sharing what you’re eating. But It would be super helpful if you would’ve mentioned the restaurants by name you reviewed.

If you ever come back, I highly recommend Chinatown BBQ in downtown and Eggette House in Richmond :)
HK (Hong Kong) BBQ Master has the best roasted pork. Thats my go to. The duck is also very good but it is always sold out. Needs to order and reserve ahead of time. How do you find the food in Vancouver compares to Hawaii?
HK BBQ Master Number 1!
Fun vid! Thanks for sharing...
Next time come in the summer go back to Richmond for the Chinese night market
Vancouver has a lot of delicious Asian food…ie Chinese dim sum ( shown here) and hotpot, Japanese sushi (best sushi outside of Japan )and ramen,Korean barbecue, Vietnamese Pho and Bánh mi, India butter chicken, and tandoori chicken,Taiwanese bubble tea, Thai and Malaysia ten courses meal, ….
If you want push cart dimsum, go to Continental Seafood Restaurant, also in Richmond.
you truly missed out on one of the best traditional hong kong restaurant in Vancouver Greater Area. Lido is an iconic place and a must try place.
Great video guys. The Char Siu looked mouthwatering. I was actually in Vancouver last summer and had an amazing time. Too bad you guys didn’t come in the Summer season. The Richmond Night Market in that area is awesome. It’s only open on weekends in April until Fall I believe. Hundreds of Asian street food stalls with so much food. It totally has an Asian atmosphere. Maybe on your next trip there down the road.
Hello Don, I will be going to the Richmond Night Market, any good TH-cams or recommendations
Lol no snow just rain and plus temperatures in February, it's not that cold.
Vancouver has the best Chinese food because of all the immigrant chefs and also the superior produce and meat sources from the surrounding area.
Richmond Vancouver / spare ribs everything …
Yummy Yummy
The best place in Richmond for roast duck is not HK masters, but a place very nearby: Parker Place Aberdeen Fresh Meat & BBQ
Great Vlog was that Spighetti looks Ono 😘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💜💙🌿
Mahalo Chrissy!
The international airport is in Richmond lol which was why there were so many planes. I would reccomend Tian Shi Fu in Richmond. Hole in the wall but everything is so good and affordable! Also, I get that because it is like 90% Chinese in Richmond, one would think it is our Chinatown but the actual Chinatown is in Vancouver. If you ever come back and visit chinatown, Phnom Penh (must get wings, luc lac, butter beef), Juke fried chicken, New Town Bakery are popular there along with other Japanese fusion. It is kinda sketchy there so I would suggest not going any streets past these restaurants.
HK BBQ is ok . I tried it before and it was recommended by people. We bought a couple of duck and BBQ pork several years ago and brought it home from in Seattle and again it was OK. If you guys ever try another place and it would be the Dollar Meat Store in Vancouver BC China Town, To us they are much better.
Waddup, peeps!
Are you two enjoying “da kine” cold weather up there?
🥶🥶🥶
Totally enjoying it!🤙🏻
Did you guys re-dub the audio at the boba place?
Some clips we used an audio enhancer due to copyright music 😅
When you were munching on the chicken feet, it looked really yum yum yummy. Great vid - I love it all. 🍛🍛🍛
Do you know if we are allowed buy the “lava bun” and bring back to the US?
Not many push cart dim sum places left in Richmond/Vancouver.
😔
You guys should eat at the HK BBQ instead of take out. Everything tastes good with hot fresh rice. Too bad you guys missed the roast duck due to avian flu, no local farm fresh duck for a while now. Sometimes they have duck imported from the US but still very expensive. Enjoy your stay in Vancouver. Ritz is a MUST have for pineapple bun! 😋
