10 kinda foods you should try in Vancouver:
1)Japanese sushi
2)Japanese ramen
3)Chinese dim sum
4)Authentic Chinese restaurants in Richmond.
5)Taiwanese /Chinese bubble tea drinks
6)Korean fried chicken (we call them KFC here)
7)Korean/Japanese BBQ
8)Vietnamese Pho
9)Great brunch like Heirlooms, Jam, Medina, Red wagon, Yolk etc. (try those organic, vegetarian or even vegan options. They are amazing)
10)Seafood like spot prawn, grilled salmon, oysters, halibut, king crab, sea urchin, scallops, mussels you name. They are so fresh and yummy.
Vancouver is multiple cultures in the sense of multiple Asian cultures. Different kinds of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamnese, Indian food. However, Good luck to find a decent Mexican, Caribbean or African food. That is simple very very very limited. You will be shocked to find out in Vancouver, we pretty much have no good Mexican or Thai restaurants which is very common to see in other North American cities.

Haven't had the hotdogs he talks about but may try one. Several street vendors with hotdogs in some areas of downtown. There is also a Mongolian Grill near Stanley Park that is good and may still do all you can eat for a flat price. Multiple not expensive, casual Middle Eastern places, noodle places and Greek. Davie Street is a good place to start for walking and deciding. Granville Street not so much for food. Two or three good brew pubs in Yaletown. I find it best to combine doing a little research in advance with trying places you walk past that look interesting. You can spend as much as you can imagine or get by on grocery store purchases and one splurge a day like a casual dinner option. There used to be a phenomenal 99 cent pizza slice place with generous sized slices but, alas, that family seems to have made their money and moved back to where they started from. None of the current pizza by the slice places even compare to that one.

If you want some of the BEST homemade Italian Ice Cream/Gelato, check out La Casa Gelato at 1033 Venables St. There are over 238 Flavours at any one time (588 flavours to date! You can of course find all the classics but you have to try some of their 'exotic' flavours like Lavendar, Green Tea, Taro, Garlic (yes Garlic, Honeycomb Cereal, pumpkin, Brandy, even some made from flowers etc. and every thing else you could possibly imagine, there is not much that they haven't tried! I can't remember them all but it is very impressive. The best part is that you can sample as much as you want. Don't let the area it is in fool you (it is in kind of a warehouse area but it is near China town and Commercial Drive if you are going there, it is a must for any ice cream lover and is legendary in Vancouver!

Granville Island is an absolutely world-class public market. It's much better than Pike Place for food. There are so many excellent snack foods to choose from, all made with lots of love by the merchants, and tables where you can hang out and enjoy it. There are also numerous awesome little shops and stalls selling crafts and other goodies. No trip to Vancouver is complete without a leisurely picnic lunch at Granville Island.
Pro tip: My favorite thing to do after Granville Island is brewery hopping! The two best neighborhoods for brews are Mt. Pleasant/South Main and the area of East Van around Commercial Drive and Clark Drive. Both neighborhoods are very walkable from brewery to brewery. Best day ever!

Oh my. I went to Vancouver at the very beginning of 2018 for 2 days, and somehow missed every single thing you mentioned (except for Stanley Park.
I still remember the pathetic meals that I had. Clif bars and other snacks for breakfast; food court in Chinatown for lunches (where the food was no different than American Chinese food); and finally, an Indian restaurant somewhere in the center of the city that served food in a steel plate, and the food went cold very fast. I never met any Japadog vendor and have never heard of the market. I need to revisit the city someday when I'm not a poor student.

As someone who is born and raised in Vancouver and the lower mainland, the seafood and the Asian cuisine are the best types of food you can get here. If you ever come to Vancouver as a tourist, DO NOT miss out on Granville island, there are venders, shops, the market, and the food is amazing! Also Richmond is a lot of fun, to walk along the harbour and walk around Steveston village, and dont forget to go to Pajos for some fish and chips! If you are into to history, you can go to fort Langley and see the original fort and walk around town. Vancouver has lots to offer and is a great city!

He missed the Punjab Market, Main st and 49th for real East Indian food and EI Sweets like Barfi. Also I get my Sushi for $7. 00 for 22 pieces made right in front of you. The food downtown is crap try the food along Commercial Dr for good Italian food. Or good Filipino food around Fraser and 25th. Main and 25 has real good food like Splits Grill for Gourmet Hamburgs and Hawker's Delight for Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine.

Japadog is very overrated. I used to work in downtown. Had tried couple different kind of them on the menu. To be honest, you can skip it, not really worth your money to try it. Also, not big fan of Nanaimo Bar either. Instead of Japadog, go and eat Japanese ramen or sushi. Instead of Nanaimo bar, go and book nice afternoon dessert tea, crushed ice with mango ice-cream, or some fancy donuts.

Been living in Vancouver for 8 years and Sushi is a staple in Vancouver living (even when its bad its still cheap and filling). Everything said is good put more on the pricy side (for most locals anyways) Check out Mount Pleasant, Commercial drive and hastings sunrise areas for more affordable yet good eating spots that locals eat at with out the central downtown prices.

The thing about eating in Vancouver is you have to go to the suburb that has a lot of people of that race for the most authentic food--- Richmond = chinese food, surrey = Indian food, commercial drive = Italian, north van = Persian food
Obviously you can find diverse food all over the city but that's a little guideline to follow
