Vancouver’s First Xi Yu Guan Sauerkraut Fish Spot – Affordable

📍 The Lucky Fish Pot 1163 Pinetree Way #1202, Coquitlam 🔥 Why It’s a Must-Try Vancouver (and Canada!) finally gets its first Xi Yu Guan branch—a beloved Shanghai-based chain. Spotted it right after hopping off the SkyTrain in Coquitlam, and couldn’t believe the prices. 🍽️ What to Order 1️⃣ Single-Person Set ($32.5) – Insane value! • Main: Choose from Signature Sichuan Pepper Blackfish (spicy-numbing, highly recommended!) or Spicy Beef Fat Noodle Soup (milder but tasty). • Sides: Add veggies like crispy bamboo shoots or broccoli (soaks up broth perfectly). • Snack: Fried sausage (sweet-spicy, addictive!), tofu, or cauliflower. • Drink: Ume plum juice, bubble tea (matcha/black sugar/taro), or soda. 2️⃣ Budget Option: Basil Fish Set ($26.5) – Lighter but still flavorful. Bonus: • Free coconut-scented rice refills 🍚✨ • Limited-time summer drinks (bubble tea available only until August!). 🌟 Standout Snacks • Fried Sausage: Looks fiery but sweet and juicy—must-order! • Other Picks: Spring rolls, sweet potato fries, osmanthus lotus root, bingfen (iced jelly). 💡 Tips ✅ Portions are huge—come hungry or share. ✅ Spice levels: "Mala" isn’t too hot; ask for extra chili if needed. ✅ Distance alert: Worth the trip from Richmond (but pray for a Downtown branch soon!). “For $32.5, this set puts most Vancouver restaurants to shame!” 🐟💥 #VanEats #SichuanFood #ChineseCuisine #CoquitlamEats #FoodieFinds
