Richmond, British Columbia, is a hotbed for world-class Asian cuisine. Join us on a food tour through the most Asian city in North America.
We enjoy a New Year's feast--several of them, in fact--in Richmond, British Columbia, the most Asian city in North America.10 miles south of Vancouver you’ll find one of the greatest concentrations of excellent Asian restaurants in North America. Richmond, British Columbia, is part of the Vancouver metropolitan area, but it feels like you’re on the other side of the planet.
About 75% of Richmond’s population has Asian roots, and less than a third of its citizens call English their first language. Don’t expect the quaint, touristy Chinatowns found in larger Canadian or American cities, though; Richmond is a modern city, with strip malls and office complexes full of businesses owned by and catering to the Asian community.
We recently ate our way through Richmond during the Lunar New Year weekend, feasting at dumpling houses, tea rooms, and barbecues, and sampling the city’s unique culinary culture. Here’s the best of what we experienced, in order of when we ate there.Our first stop was lunch at HK BBQ Master, and I can’t imagine a better kickoff to our tour.
