A man who ate at 8,000 Chinese restaurants around the world has named the six best spots near Vancouver.

David R. Chan has eaten at thousands of Chinese restaurants and, believe it or not, he has travelled 20 countries to test different Chinese foods.

It's no wonder Canada made the cut as one of his food travels on the list. Our country offers such a great variety of different foods to try — there is sure to be many great finds!

From dine-in to takeout, Narcity was lucky enough to get a list broken down of his top Chinese eats in Vancouver and Richmond, B.C. The list includes a variety of high and low-priced places so there is a special spot for anyone to enjoy.

It also includes one place in the top books for a special Vancouver-born celebrity as well!
