I'll second Phnom Penh - butter beef is kick-ass, but not for the sqeamish. A bit of hike from Abbott though.forgamez wrote: ↑Wild Rice is good. It is fancy Chinese food with a western style twist. Cool dining experience.
Hon's sucks. Please don't go there.
My suggestion is Phenom Penh. go to dinehere.ca and check the reviews. It is an excellent Cambodian/Vietnemese restaurant, which isn't like your usual Pho place. Everything is good there, except their Pho. Get the chicken wings, butter beef, and lotus roots. Probably one of the best Asian restaurants in Vancouver.

Hon's is not cheap at all compared to most Chinese places.Jumbotron wrote: ↑I'll second Phnom Penh - butter beef is kick-ass, but not for the sqeamish. A bit of hike from Abbott though.
Disagree about Hon's - decent food, cheap and unpretentious, but a bit of a hike too.
Gastown is a closer hike (I think) and more choices from Incendio, Water Street Cafe, Jules (French Bistro), Salt, Social - even the Spaghetti Factory.
If you're adventurous - try the Only Seafood on W. Hastings - it's an experience the OP will never forget. The food is good, the neighborhood licks, but it's part of Vancouver History
Good luck.

Depends on the Chinese places you go I guess - Chow mein is like $7.95 and large. I'd go somewhere cheaper, but the absence of dogs in the neighbourhood worries me somewhat :-)

I agree that is Hon's is not expensive compared to your vast majority of dining options in Vancouver.Jumbotron wrote: ↑Depends on the Chinese places you go I guess - Chow mein is like $7.95 and large. I'd go somewhere cheaper, but the absence of dogs in the neighbourhood worries me somewhat :-)
What's cheaper, faster, tastier and takes plastic?
I don't think you would consider Hon's expensive. Cheap in Chinatown in Kent's kitchen - $5.50 for 7 lbs of food and each bite of mystery meat keeps you wondering.
My 2 cents.
