Toronto and Vancouver have way better authentic Chinese food. Not even close. Their shit is fancy as hell, too.

As someone who has been to both, no. NYCs is more authentic. All restaurants in Canada are owned by like 2 companies, so while Asian food MIGHT taste better in Vancouver, it tastes the exact same as every other place.

You go to chain restaurants and complain about how they taste the same everywhere?

Do you think Chinese restaurants in Richmond are owned by either of the two?

I’ve been to Van and NY and Van is without a doubt better in terms of Chinese food

Even decent restaurants are part of chains. If you go to more than one Canadian city, you see the same restaurants in various Canadian cities. They’re all franchises, even if they’re not part of the big 2.

What you said is so open to interpretation and one sided, I don’t even know how to reply to you.

What would be considered as a good/decent restaurant? Where did you go when you were in Vancouver/NYC?

How about this, since we both went to Waterloo / Toronto, why don’t you tell me which Chinese/ Asian restaurants you’ve been to?

It is absolutely not true decent ones are all franchised, btw places like rice noodles or whatever are not considered to be decent. Those are considered to be fast food restaurants.

I doubt that. Go to Flushing.

OP has been to both, so have I. With no snark intended, you should try Richmond (Vancouver’s analog to flushing).
