I’ve looked under the Vancouver section but I did not find what I am seeking.
Are there any equivalent to say, Ink, Chi Spicca, Republic, Providence, Otium or, Shunji? As I have heard that Vancouver’s or perhaps Richmond’s Chinese food is better or as good as our SGV’s.
So in this local section, I post my Canadian question. What are the most FTC worthy restaurants in Vancouver/Richmond : Please summarize and name your top 5. If this post will be assigned elsewhere so be it.

L’Abbatoir. So great.

Just going to list some restaurants I tried recently & that seem to be trending amongst my friends. Sorry for kind of, not really answering your question… 
Western Lake Chinese seafood for dim sum - was here on Tuesday at 11:45 and the wait was ~30-40mins. According to my parents this place is trending amongst Chinese folk atm, even though their yelp is only 3.5. This place has great serving size and price imo.
Suika - no wait for late night dinner, but heard it gets busy. Didn’t order much because I had already eaten, but tried the sable fish and salmon cheeks. Both really good!
Jam for breakfast/brunch - my friends keep raving about this place, but the line is huge! like 30 deep. I guess similar brunch wait as Sqirl and Republique. I ended up bailing and going to Chambar where there was no wait. (tip: chambar and cafe medina have the same menu apparently)
Cafe Medina for breakfast/brunch - another popular spot. Paella 
Waffles 
UYU soft serve - heard it’s amazing
MISTER ice cream - trending on the IG atm
Phenom Penh - not something new, but I always mention it. Butter beef is their star dish.
La Belle Patate for poutine - if you want an alternative to Fritz. It’s nothing fancy really, but gotta get poutine in Canada… right?
Revolver coffee - super hipster, super great coffee
Purebread - amazing pastry/bread spread! Just around the corner from popular Meat & Bread and Revolver Coffee
It was good but I wasn’t blown away by it. For sure stay away from the desserts. Mains and apps are good.
I was pretty happy with my list and choices. Man, still dreaming of Oyama at Granville.
