Summer Night Market

Much bigger than Vancouver’s Chinatown version, Richmond’s Summer Night Market has around 300 vendors and offers a multisensory glimpse of what Hong Kong–style bazaars are all about. Don’t eat anything before arriving and you can taste-trip among the 60 or so steamy food stalls. The highlight of an evening out here, they offer savory treats such as fish balls, shrimp dumplings, duck wraps, twirled potatoes, vegetarian gyoza (fried Japanese dumplings) and grilled squid. Most dishes cost from $3 to $6. Highlight vendors are the comparatively gourmet Roaming Dragon (go for its Korean short-rib tacos) and Sumo Bites (the sukiyaki beef rice burgers are recommended).
