Things to do in Vancouver

[Nelson]

Cancuk,

I entirely agree with your comments on Vancouver neighbourhoods. I guess it just depends on personal preference. I now live in Strathcona (downtown eastside) and love it.

As for restaurants, I'll second any of the Guu restaurants, and I'll add:

Phnom Penh (Cambodian/Vietnamese Food)
Chinatown (one of the few places I'd recommend in Chinatown)
244 E Georgia St, Vancouver
Tel: 604 682-5777
- Try the butter beef, garlic lemon sqid, Cambodian style beef meat ball soup...it's all good.

Dim Sum
-In downtown Vancouver, my choice would probably be Kirin.
102-1166 Alberni Street (604) 682-8833

If you have the time, here is a great egullet thread on Chinese and Dim Sum in Vancouver/Richmond:
