Food Recommendations in Kamloops 😋

Before coming to Kamloops, I didn’t have high expectations. I thought a small town with only 100,000 people, mostly white, would be a food desert. But after arriving, I was surprised to find quite a few great restaurants! Brownstone 🍴 This restaurant is housed in a charming standalone heritage building with a nice ambiance and great service. Last time, I tried the Brazil seafood and lamb—both were pretty good. 💰 Around $35 per person. Lucky Yeung 🥟 (a Chinese restaurant close to TRU) This place looks unremarkable from the outside—I stumbled upon it while browsing Google Maps. But the flavors are incredibly authentic 👍. They excel in various regional Chinese cuisines without catering to Western tastes. I’d even say it’s better than some restaurants back in China! My classmates and I go almost every week—it’s practically our canteen now. Must-tries: Mala Xiang Guo, Spicy Chicken, Singapore-style stir-fried rice noodles, and Sweet and Sour Pork. 💰 Around $25 per person. Arigato Sushi 🍱 Their food is quite good, especially the tempura—crispy yet not greasy. However, I always get an upset stomach after eating raw fish here, so be cautious❗️ 💰 Around $25 per person. Madras 🍛 I randomly craved curry one day and found this Indian restaurant downtown. It turned out to be pretty decent! I tried the butter chicken, and the naan bread was tasty too. 💰 Around $20 per person. The rest were okay but not particularly impressive—nothing I’d strongly recommend. I’ll keep exploring Kamloops’ food scene 🤣. It’s one of the few things that keeps me motivated during the winter! #StudyInCanada #ThompsonRiversUniversity #FoodRecommendations #KamloopsEats #KamloopsLife #FoodExploration
