4 street food places in Vancouver we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Vancouver | Street Food across every city.
Vancouver's street food is defined as much by its carts as its restaurants, and one operator looms over the category. Japadog, on Robson and at the Burrard and Smithe corner downtown since 2005, is the Japanese hot dog that gave the city's street food its identity under owner Noriki Tamura. Mom's Grilled Cheese Truck on Howe Street adds a lunchtime cart working a rotation of a dozen cheeses, a reminder the scene runs beyond a single signature dish.
