Sunny Spot Cafe welcomes you to their establishment. You can also enjoy the sunlight on their terrace. They are open after-hours from Wednesday to Sunday. You can get there by public transit and car and visit them in an area recognized as exciting.
With all of the must-visit restaurants lining both sides of Main Street, you’ve likely walked past the hole-in-the-wall that is Sunny Spot Café and not even noticed it. But it’s worth a visit for the chance to explore an entirely different type of Chinese food than what you’re used to eating in Vancouver: Xi’an cuisine, which comes from the Shaanxi province in central China. With a heavy emphasis on grains over rice, you can expect dishes like hand-pulled wheat noodles, hot and sour glass noodle soup, and an otherworldly flatbread “sandwich” stuffed with braised beef, cilantro and a drizzle of chili oil. Wow!
You’d never know by looking at it from the outside, but this mom-and-pop shop delivers some seriously delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine. The small-but-solid menu features noodles and dumplings that are all lovingly handmade and cooked by the husband and wife owner duo. The hardworking pair also does all of the serving, making a meal at Sunny Spot Cafe akin to going to a friend’s parent’s house for lunch.
