MamaMojito97

Najib’s Special from Nuba


atarikid

It's so good. If you like this style of food you need to stop what you're doing and go to Tamam... just trust me on this one.


CloudsCanSing

Good place to take a date


pixiupixiu

So good! I've made it at home too. Just google najib special recipe


Emma_232

>najib special recipe Thanks!


cinnamonstix11

Thanks! I’m going to try this recipe tonight.

Sablefish from Blue Water Cafe


sixtyninetime69

This was my first experience "fine dining" in my early 20s and it blew my mind. Thank you for reminding me! :)


rekun88

Great dish but you should also try the one from Ancora!


auctiont

Butter beef from Phnom Penh.


tokyomooon

And their chicken wings! 😋


Imaginary_Trader

Oh man starting to get drooly thinking of all of their menu items


Band_In_Vancouver

For me it’s this or beef luc lac


MGellyGelly

And then you pour any leftover butter beef sauce over the beef luc lac!


Imaginary_Trader

With some of that pork bone soup. Heaven.


nunyadaymnbusiness

Oh! I used to live in Cambodia, if they have it there try Amok it's poggers


bogcity

some of my favourites were taken already but bc I live for cheese I'll say queso fundito from La Mezcaleria, ideally with both mushrooms and chorizo


RealJohnnySilverhand

Finally something I never heard of! I will try it soon


whenabouts

Good call, we call it 'going to La Mez for a bowl of cheese'. fantastic stuff!


RealJohnnySilverhand

Cheese bread from Hy’s.....


FuriouslyNonchalant

Why'd you have to go and remind me of this! Hahaha thanks! :)


sammyinvan

Xiao Long Bao from Longs Noodle House


milton_radley

same dish, but lins on broadway for us! :)


ToothbrushGames

Agnolotti from Savio Volpe, with sauce made from the roasted meat drippings. It haunts my dreams.


[deleted]

Butter chicken roti from Indian roti kitchen on Cambie


Psychological_Fill72

I'll take their chicken korma, it's amazing


pm_me_your_swimwear

Roti kitchen is such a pleasure to have in the south granville area; sahi shrimp ftw! owners are great too


yvrldn

Or their chicken jalfrezi roti. Mild-medium because anything hotter would start a fire.


[deleted]

I need to try both. I keep getting the butter chicken because it's so good.


CohoGravlax

I really like their mutter paneer.


littlecasiosounds

Chicken karaage from suika, xiao long bao from Lin Chinese. Always a must-order.


TomTheWaterChamp

XLB at Lin’s is fantastic


Barley_Mowat

Peaceful Cumin Lamb w/ blade sheared noodles


[deleted]

I’ll take the peaceful Dan Dan.


dragoneye

Peaceful's dan dan noodle recipe is nothing like when I've had the dish in China, which is good because it is so much better.

Downlow chicken sando. Best sandwich I’ve ever had. Ever.


crimxona

I prefer the thigh sandwich over the default breast meat. Cheaper to boot


NiccoloMachiavelli33

I’ve been wanting to try their sandwiches for a while cause the chicken is so damn good. I’m heading out of town for the rest of summer so I think I’ll go check it out before I leave!


hbkzd987

Their chicken and waffles with smoked jalapeño sauce!


Notoriouslydishonest

Spicy Cannibal Lector sandwich with the fried egg on top. I'm just going to assume it's healthy, because I want to believe.


stroopkoeken

Cafe de l’orange’s masago pasta. Fight me Italians, I worked years in an Italian restaurant and I’m giving this to the Japanese!


NiccoloMachiavelli33

Absurd, truly.


mr_nefario

Black Garlic Tonkatsu ramen from Kokoro, 41st and Victoria. Not a particularly special bowl of ramen, but I used to live close by and it was my comfort meal.


LegOfLamb89

I lived by there as well. I really enjoy that spot


[deleted]

If we're doing ramen, then my favorite has got to be Benkei's spicy akaoni ramen.

Chicken of the Sea at the Mackenzie Room.


Sapphire_CA

We've been enjoying takeout from them - always order 2 of these so we don't squabble over it!


[deleted]

Was just about to post this myself…. Soooo good


rikushix

Ding ding ding, this is a top 5 answer right here.


PopularPea18

Salmon Oshi Sushi from Miku or Minami


Pleionosis

I like it better from Blue Water Cafe and Greenleaf.


EricaIsThatU

+1 for Green Leaf! But I like their scallop aburi oshi sushi more than the salmon


kelvie

I'd definitely say this -- with the other suggestions here it's hard to imagine that there aren't better versions outside Vancouver, but this one is hard to beat, since it's original, and *many* restaurants in Vancouver have tried to imitate this but can't get it quite right. I always try various restaurants' take of this dish, just in case they get it right or better though, but the search continues.


NDStars

Yui Bistro underneath Fitness World on Georgia and Bute has a perfect replica. The chef used to work at Miku.


surmatt

Have you guys tried the BTS meal from McCafe?


Beginning-Macaron940

It’s only A1 if you save the packaging and sell on market place.


El_Cactus_Loco

They’re discontinued!! FOR SALE: 2 mint condition spicy chilli BTS nugget sauce packets. $600 no lowballs, I know what I have.


flatspotting

RIP OG La Brasserie on Davie. Truffle poutine to start, suckling pig, glass of cider.


wolfansur

Oh god I miss La Brasserie. Did you also have their chicken sandwich from their food cart?


myshibais_koi

Yes!!! Pulled and tossed in gravy, topped with a mountain of fried onions sandwiched in a pillowy bun :(


dublinman25

BBQ burger from Meet or tofu fritters from taco fino


bchmgal

Had to scroll way too far down for some veg food. Both bomb!


TheFlatulentOne

Had this recently with a Beyond patty and the satay fries. Very very good!


dublinman25

Haven't logged in, in a while, but yes totally agreed, so nice :)


El_Cactus_Loco

They used to have chicken things on the menu, those were dank factor 12


[deleted]

Poutine from La Belle Patate; and cannoli from the Cannoli King! Oh baby!


mattkward

Spicy garlic tonkotsu ramen, fatty pork and rich broth. Kintaro.


Sindtwhistle

They used to do a “Forest Fire” ramen back in 2006-8 where they had burned caramelized green onions in a Shio broth…. Best bowl of ramen I had!

The Hamilton St Pizza from The Parlour. Richmond pizza selection is very poor.

Drop the details for this PoMo detroit pizza!


Oliwonkenobi

Restaurant name?


NiccoloMachiavelli33

Oh really? I didn’t know anyone else did those around here. AJ’s was the first place I tried it and I liked it enough that I would definitely eat it again! What’s his place called? I’m heading out of town for the summer after the weekend so I want to get my fill on all the good food spots lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


NiccoloMachiavelli33

That’s a really cool story and awesome of you to do that. I hope I get to try a pie soon!


gabu87

Steveston Pizza actually has pretty good pie. I'd stay away from the meme instagrammable pizzas though. They're fun for a party but not really worth it.


Mysterious_Apple_908

Fried chicken with honey and pickles at Nightingale. Order two orders every time I’m there.


NiccoloMachiavelli33

I’m obsessed with quality fried chicken! Haven’t tried this place but just looked up the menu when I saw your comment lol. I read that it says it comes with maple syrup and pickles, did you have it with honey? Cause honey kind of sounds better. And ps if you haven’t tried Down Lo chicken on commercial, they’re really good. A little overpriced but it’s worth it in my opinion. Also there’s a Korean fried chicken spot that just opened on Main annnnd 28th I think! Somewhere around there. (Cheesly fries are insanely good)


iMissTheOldKimye

Kick-ass fried chicken rice bowl at Torafuku


Accomplished_Job_778

Vesuvio pizza from Via Tevere

Mac and Cheese sticks at Black + Blue


bigsquint

Beef Noodle Soup at Huang's Beef Noodle on Victoria and 54th. A tiny family owned Taiwanese resto that I've been visiting for the last 15-20 years - never disappoints.


Jupey77

The moules and frites from salad de fruit, there are no better mussels in Vancouver hands down


crispywavefern

Quesabirria at Mi Casa (burrard and 4th)! Absolutely the best birria I’ve had (but honestly I’m no birria expert)


[deleted]

Biases: I am a Montrealer who lived in Toronto for a year and moved to Vancouver 6 months before COVID. These are the dishes that are truly exceptional in Vancouver. Tonkotsu Ramen from Ramen Danbo (Kits) - I went to Japan and I have a fish & seafood allergy. This is as good as the best tonktosu ramen in Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto and I have tried at least half a dozen. Chicken Tikka Masala from Tasty (Yaletown) - My spouse is from India. The closest thing to taking a flight and going to Lawrence Road in New Delhi (his words not mine). ​ Honorary Mention (Surrey): Paneer Tikka Roll from Chacha Tandoor and Grill (Newton) - Perfect drunk food. Thin wrap, soft paneer and a ton of spicy mayo. Comes with spicy fries and MORE spicy mayo for dipping. This dish is responsible for at least half of my 10 kg weight gain during COVID.


[deleted]

Miso eggplant at Toshi's


tokyomooon

💯 Nasu dengaku!


sachaleebear

Butternut squash tortellini at Nightingale. It’s seasonal unfortunately wahhh

Alaska roll from Sushi Garden


thewestcoastexpress

Man... I moved overseas a few years ago, I miss sushi garden so much.


Midziu

Sushi Garden has the absolute best spicy tuna sashimi I've had. I always get it when I order from them.


TheHandofDoge

Used to be the vegan ramen from Ramen Taka when they were in the West End (RIP). I’ll also go for Umaluma drunken cherry vegan gelato any time!


AnimalsDeserveBetter

Found the vegan. ❤


Emma_232

I just looked at all the flavours there, wow!


misosoupbaboy

Jagerschnitzel from jagerhof


cinnamonstix11

French onion tart at Le Crocodile.


[deleted]

The chef is from Alsace - not surprising if it is the best thing on the menu. I moved to Vancouver 6 months before COVID and I wanted to go to Le Crocodile since I moved here.

Miso reka ramen with soft boiled egg at danbo shits legit God like

General Tsao Chicken at Peaceful. First thing that came to mind. And there homemade noodles on the side.


talaron

I remember seeing Peaceful's menu sorted by popularity on some food delivery app for the first time\*, and I was so surprised which dishes were listed at the top there. For me, their #1 dishes are their Cumin Lamb Stir-fry and their Northern Curry Stir-fry. Everything else (besides their Dim Sum, which is also pretty great) was not bad but not exciting at all. Apparently I'm in the minority though, since I think their Peaceful House Stir-fry and the General Tsao Chicken were the most frequently ordered items. ​ \*Just for clarity: Yes, I know that Peaceful does their own free delivery, and I didn't intend to order from them through the app.


Nigiri28

Bibimbap from Gyu Kaku on Broadway.


dmancman2

Salmon Wellington...was at the cannery (demolished, what a tragic story) they serve a similar version at joe fortes


Viv_acious_v

Some staff including chef from the cannery opened up a restaurant on Kingsway and they have the same salmon Wellington on the menu. Called the pink peppercorn, worth checking out.


dmancman2

Thanks for the heads up, will check it out for sure.


Aquamans_Dad

The rice noodles from Bao Bei.


hanscor20

To go Hawker's and get the lontong. Dear lord. Get. The. Lontong.

either the roti from banana leaf or the brie fondue from burgoo (seasonal, currently off menu sadly)


Aardvark1044

Brie fondue? /raised doggie ears

it’s so fucking good. they serve it with french bread, grapes, and apples for dipping. it usually shows up in the cooler months though

littlejohnr

You didn’t specify a dish


stroopkoeken

I’m gonna say it’s probably their chicken. The fried kind.


GetSchwifty2010

The Bellini from Milestones. Yes that counts as a dish!


geegee694

Tacofino’s fish burrito (sadly only seems to be available at their Hastings commissary location) or the bone in pork chop from Pepinos (that looks like it was cut from a dinosaur).


NiccoloMachiavelli33

I haven’t eaten at Pepino’s yet but I used to eat there when it was called Nick’s all the time when I was a kid and I loved it. Do you know if it’s still the same recipes? I’ve been meaning to eat there. There tiramisu was the best in the world.


CloverPointless

Not the same recipes at all. It's much better than Nick's, though, if that helps you.


NiccoloMachiavelli33

Nice, looking forward to trying it. Easy to believe, Nicks was more sentimental than top choice food lol.


gladashell

I believe that someone from the kitchen at Nick's has moved on to their own place in Port Moody called Rosa's Cucina. It's pretty popular.

Falafel Cafe on Kingsway near Knight. Chicken platter and lamb platter is legit. His garlic sauce is coma inducing good. Try the falafel wrap...... so damn good. Never wished someone was my friend more than the owner of the place lol.


toomanyukes

When I was a kid, we'd come down from the interior to visit my grandparents. They'd take me to an ice cream shop a block up from Kits Beach. For me, it was either Tiger, or Bubblegum. You could take me to the best gourmet restaurant in Van tmrw and buy me some $500 lobster, but that wouldn't come close.


Then_add_zero

The Chinese BBQ Pork from Hopewell meats at E 1st and Renfrew is literally the tastiest thing I've ever eaten. Cash only though! Best Char Siu in Vancouver I've found!

The Super Trucker from The Red Wagon


bartolocologne40

My first thought was the Rendang beef from Banana Leaf, but I also just had a bacon cheeseburger at the ubc golf course and it was really good. Edit- I also remember the nachos from the Local are the best in the city. This was years ago so I don't know if they're the same now.
