🥢 Winnipeg Chinese Food Guide for Vancouverites

"From peking duck to spicy mala, here's how we survived - nay, thrived - as Chinese food lovers in Winnipeg!" 🍗 1. New Yung Fat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ 📍 2077 Pembina Hwy 🔥 Must-Order: Peking Duck – Crispier skin than most Vancouver spots! (2-way serving: wraps + stir-fry) Thai-style Curry Vermicelli Shrimp Pot – Creamy coconut curry broth 🚫 Skip: Crispy Pork Knuckle (gamey aftertaste) "The duck alone justifies the 4.5-star rating – fight me, Vancouver!" 🍽️ 2. Buffet Square ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 2188 McPhillips St 💰 $20 all-you-can-eat – Fried rice/noodles, meat dishes, desserts (drinks extra) "When hunger strikes and wallets whimper, this canteen-style spot delivers." 🌶️ 3. Yang Guofu Malatang ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ 📍 1609 Pembina Hwy Spicier & cheaper than Vancouver locations Pro tip: Medium spice > "extra spicy" (less oily) 🍧 4. Meet Fresh ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 2077 Pembina Hwy Bigger portions, more generous toppings than BC outlets Must-get: Taro Ball #3 with extra grass jelly 🍜 5. Sam Po Noodle House ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 180 King St $20 fills you up, but tripe texture is oddly crunchy Safe bets: Beef brisket noodles, wonton soup 🚗 Road Trip Notes Driving from Van?
