Do Chay - Vancouver

I was visiting Vancouver and had Do Chay on my list. Got a beer, some salad rolls, and the black garlic eggplant dish as a treat after a long day. Would love to go back and try some of the other dishes, particularly the shareables! It was definitely a lot of food for one person.

Whenever I go to a different city I always reach out to the ambassadors and ask for recommendations. This was a recommended place. I love Vietnamese food so was happy to see this place recommended because it did not catch my eye on prior research. I pulled up and there was a 40 minute wait. I thought about going elsewhere but decided to wait at the bar next door. I’m happy I did. I was seated and ordered the coconut rice cakes, Black truffle dumplings, and the black garlic eggplant. Everything was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the dumplings.

Everything tasted so fresh. The only challenge was narrowing down what we wanted from the amazing menu! Definitely going back to try more items. Not pictured: the turmeric tonic, a nice slightly sweet spritzer, highly recommend on a hot day or for a NA beverage option.

Solid Vegan Pho and spring rolls when you're in the west end/Yaletown. Just note that some of the other items are vegetarian-only.

Amazing food, attentive and friendly staff, great atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of dishes. Try the Black Garlic Eggplant!
