Vancouver's favorite Cambodian/Vietnamese restaurant, 4.5 star with 4000+ ratings. Can't go wrong with any dish, signature is fried chicken wings, butter beef (semi raw), beef rice (special jerk seasoning). Huge line up, good to go there 11AM or 2-4PM. Avg dish from $9 to $20, one of the most affordable restaurant in town!

If you want massive portion, family style, reasonably priced pasta, this is the place! Not the most authentic, a bit “Canadianized” but good food none the less. $25-30 gets you a massive plate for 2 and left over and girl isn’t it yum!

If you are looking for some semi-fancy sushi, Kishimoto have one of the best Aburi Sushi in Vancouver, potentially even better than Miku ($$$$ place at waterfront) One of my favourite sushi restaurant in Vancouver. Highly recommend: Sake Miso Cod Aburi Sushi (salmon is my favourite) About $25-$35 per person but worthh it!

Don’t let the area of homeless people fool you of this amazing Japanese restaurant. The reasonable price with insanely yummy and large portion food is to die for! Omrice is a must have, many great deep fried dishes and of course sushi and Banto boxes! $, 15-25

Fancy, expensive and yet one of the most authentic pasta you can have in Vancouver. Small menu and all very well done, $35-45 per pasta, I know!!! But hey they are one of the best and they know they can charge this much.

Great brunch/lunch Spot that share the same space with Post Mark Brewing and Vancouver Uber Winery, also a great place to grab a drink at night. You will be literary sitting in the middle of a hip warehouse surrounding by wine barrels and brewing equipments. Very cool

Public Market is a must see, though over priced, you can still find some really special items. The bagels are great and if you want to try Montreal smoke meat this is probably one of the best bet in Vancouver (though nothing ever comes close to Schwartz’s in Montreal)

One of the coolest underground (literally) speakeasy, no password, just look for the door with red light in the middle of auto body shops. Fancy cocktails are poured with decent selection of beer. Summer time the back outdoor patio opens up and the vibe is 👌 $$

I can say Alibi room is my favourite place to have a beer in Vancouver, period. Just off road of the gastown entertainment area, this brick walled bar has 2 full pages of rotating taps from local and international breweries, changing every single week. The vibe is industrial yet cozy, with warm service and paired with great food (not those junk bar food), some serious cooking going on there. The chocolate desert is a staple of the place! $$

Simba Brewery Ranking 1/10 The best brewery in Vancouver, hands down. A rotating tap every week means you'll never get bored – and if you happen to like something, it's probably not going to be there next week. The place has a hip atmosphere, the beer is top-notch, and it's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the authentic Vancouver brewery scene.

Simba Brewery Ranking 2/10 This place couldn't be more Vancouver/hipster. Beanie-wearing, jean-rolling hosts are incredibly hip, cool, and friendly – just as good as their beer. Everything is minimal, with an all-white label and walls. Surprisingly, 33 Acres serves beer flavors that are extremely fun and colorful. "33 Acres of Sunshine" is a must-try and arguably the most popular beer among local (hipster) Vancouverites. They also have an "exp" store next door that serves experimental flavors. If you want to fit in in Vancouver, go ahead and grab some minimal 33 Acres merch! :P
