"Always woo 'd dining at Sai Woo In historic Chinatown lies a unique Vancouver inspired Asian fusion restaurant, Sai Woo Stemming from a reflection of Vancouver 's multicultural society, chef Seung-min has currated a menu serving a variety of small and large sharing plates, with a focus on pairing local bounty and global techniques with familiar Korean, Japanese and Chinese flavors · Bang Bang Chicken Salad · Beef Tartare · Beef Broccoli · Dan Dan Noodles · Chinese Herb Brined Duck Breasts · Dongpo Lettuce Wraps · Chinatown Monarch My favorite dishes were the dongpo lettuce wraps and Dan Dan noodles The pork belly was super tender, flavorful and I really enjoyed the cut of the pork as it had a nice balance of lean meat to fat Oftentimes I find 'dongpo yook ' too rich due to the ratio, but Sai woo did a great job at balancing that aspect I also loved the addition of cinnamon to the dish and the sauce as it gave it a nice kick to this dish! The Dan Dan noodles seemed moreso like a bowl of ramen, but it was packed with flavor and I loved the texture of the noodles The spice and peanut flavor were subtle but just enough to shine through and not take away from other aspects of the dish itself. Their housemade cha siu was torched to perfect and their runny egg really enhanced the richness and flavors of the soup."
