Local food in Vancouver?

[hgpot]

Coming from east cost US just for the weekend of LTX, what local food place(s) should I seek out?

You could go to A&W for free root beer on Saturday...…

 

And yes it is different than the US brand

Richmond has a high Asian population so some authentic Asian cuisine can be had. I particularly like Xiaolongbao, which is essentially a special pork dumpling with soup in the dumpling and you dip it in some tasty ginger vinegar. My preferred place is Dinesty Dumpling house ( 8111 Ackroyd Rd #160, Richmond, BC) they have a nice sit down interior and menus and servers have decent English. If you're into beer it might be worth your while to make your way into Vancouver and check out a gastropub or tasting room also there is Craft Beer Market which is good eats and 100 beer taps. There are two Stormcrow locations (the tavern and the alehouse) which are bars catering to nerds with decent grub, they have board games and tons of fun themed drinks. But yeah, the thing with Richmond itself is that there isn't much in the way of nice "Canadian" restaurants but mostly ethnic places and big chains (Cactus Club).

Anyways, OP, if you ever feel hungry during LTX the local Asian supermarket across the street from LTX has great to-go Asian food.
