Vancouver’s Most Addictive Comfort Foods 🍚 East Meets West

From Richmond’s Sichuan spice to Burnaby’s cozy brunch spots, here are the crave-worthy dishes I keep going back to—100% honest, no sponsorships (taste is subjective, so if you disagree… you’re probably right 😉). 🔥 Noodle Heaven 📍 Ban Bu Xian Szechuan Cuisine Vancouver Downtown • Free noodle refills (yes, really!). Their yuer ji (sichuan chicken stew) is chef’s kiss. • Address: 8460 Alexandra Rd #165, Richmond 📍 Chengdu Spicy • Run by a Chengdu auntie—legit Sichuan flavors. The twice-cooked pork is a MUST. Zero bad dishes here. • Address: 8391 Alexandra Rd, Richmond 🍝 Western Comfort with a Twist 📍 Hart House Restaurant • Went for a friend’s birthday—service was stellar (they relit our candles 3x!). Pasta = underrated gem. • Address: 6664 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby 📍 Leisure Tea & Coffee • Cozy vibes for deep chats. Unique tea blends + tasty snacks (try their matcha tiramisu). • Address: 8391 Alexandra Rd Unit 1110, Richmond 🥢 Cantonese Classics 📍 Yue Restaurant • OG dim sum spot. Their egg tarts are the best I’ve ever had—flaky crust, custardy center. Cheung fun also elite. • Address: 110-8351 Alexandra Rd, Richmond 🍗 Korean Fried Chicken Obsession 📍 Oh! Zzhu Sam Korean Restaurant • Mind-blowing crispy chicken (so many flavors!). Truffle fries with that sauce? Life-changing. • Address: 7506 Edmonds St, Burnaby 🐔 Singaporean Star 📍 Pata Man Singaporean Cuisine • Hainanese chicken > Mamalee. Portions are gigantic, and the owner hooked me up with extra rice/sauces because I ate like a starving panda. • Address: 9060 Capstan Wy, Richmond Final Thoughts I’m literally addicted to eating—sometimes I want to kneel and beg myself to stop. 😂 More recs coming soon! #VancouverEats #RichmondFoodie #BurnabyBites #ComfortFood #NoRegrets
