Landmark Restaurant’s Geoduck hotpot (CRA supplied)
| Just announced: the winners of the 2014 Chinese Restaurant Awards, Diners’ Choice, as tabulated from 19,612 ballots. |
The Chinese Restaurant Awards have grown from small beginnings into a hotly contested process that focuses a much needed spotlight on the top Chinese tastes in Metro Vancouver. The awards are divided into two parts: the Diners Choice, and the Critics Choice Signature Dish Awards.
We probably shouldn’t comment on the integrity of diners / readers choice voting habits in general. Let’s just say the results can sometimes be “interesting,” depending on how savvy a given resto might be…
However, there’s good reason to think that these winners add up to a worthy guide as to what’s worth checking out in a given category.
No, we haven’t been to all of them, although we can vouch for several, such as:
S & W Pepper House
Peninsula Seafood Restaurant
Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant
The Jade Seafood Restaurant
Peaceful Restaurant
Lucky Noodle Chinese Restaurant
Landmark Hotpot House
Deer Garden Signatures
La Patisserie
Wah Yuen Noodle House, Yaohan Centre
Stay tuned for the big guns, the Critics’ Choice Awards, which will be announced on April 23rd—coincidentally, the day after this year’s Vancouver Magazine Awards.
