This year, 33,759 votes were cast over 34 days, starting on February 17, in celebration of Chinese New Year. This is a whopping 42% increase over the 2014 result of 19,612 votes over 30 days. The increase shows that the public has been highly engaged in the process, giving the Chinese Restaurant Awards a pat on the back for successfully building a community that encourages communication between food lovers and Chinese culinary professionals.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><i>Photos available in high resolution:<br \/>\nthe new categories of Diners&#8217; Choice Awards (Har Gow, Five-Spice Beef<br \/>\nWrapped in Chinese Pancake, Tea-smoked Duck, Three-cup Chicken,<br \/>\nOriginal-Flavour Egg Waffle).

The public&rsquo;s enthusiastic response has co-created a community that not only raises the standard of local Chinese restaurants but also inspires the Awards to continue developing a dining guide that foodies at home and abroad trust. <\/p>\n<p>The public&rsquo;s growing interest has always been the motivating force behind the Chinese Restaurant Awards&rsquo; ongoing development. The newly introduced Food Bloggers&rsquo; Choice Awards, for example, encourage diners to actively participate in the community. They will be able to compare their choice of winners with the critics&rsquo; and bloggers&rsquo; favourites on April 15, when the results of the Critics&rsquo; Choice Signature Dish Awards and Food Bloggers&rsquo; Choice Awards are revealed. The ballots were submitted to the awards&rsquo; official auditor EY Canada on March 20.<\/p>\n<p>This year the winners of the five new Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards categories include industry veterans and newcomers. The winner for Best Har Gow is Kirin Restaurants, a well-recognized institution in Vancouver&rsquo;s Chinese culinary scene and also the winner in the Best Dim Sum Restaurant category. The award for Best Tea-Smoked Duck goes to Dinesty Dumpling House, also the winner in the Best Shanghainese Restaurant category. The ever-popular Pearl Castle Caf&eacute; takes home the award of Best Three-Cup Chicken. First-time winners Shanghai Morning Restaurant and Bubble Queen, both located in Richmond, won the hearts of many with their specialty dishes. The former makes the Best Five-Spice Beef Wrapped in Chinese Pancake, and the latter whips up a scrumptious batter that won for Best Original-Flavour Egg Waffle.<\/p>\n<p>Other notable mentions in the results includes Chang&rsquo; An in Downtown Vancouver (Best Fine Dining Restaurant), Maji Taiwanese Stir Fry on Alexandra Road (Best Taiwanese Restaurant\/BBT Caf&eacute;), and Bubble Waffle Caf&eacute; at Aberdeen Centre (Best Food Court Stall). All three winners have been in operation for less than two years, but their popularity started growing soon after their grand opening. Vancouverites have been demonstrating their enthusiasm towards new regional restaurants with countless online reviews and long line-ups. The announcement of the upcoming Food Bloggers&rsquo; Choice Awards and Critics&rsquo; Choice Signature Dish Awards will add new excitement to their quest for superb Chinese food.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Restaurant Awards wishes to thank the following sponsors: Alberta Canola Producers Commission, EY Canada, Amoy Food limited, Anchor Foods International Limited, Frobisher International Enterprise Ltd., CityTV, OMNI Television, Taiyangbao.ca and Vandiary.com and the partners | <a href=\"index.php?section=Sponsors\" target=\"_self\">view the full list<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChineseRestaurantAwards\" target=\"_blank\">@ChineseRestaurantAwards<\/a>  \/ Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CRADiningGuide\" target=\"_blank\">@CRADiningGuide<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">media inquiries: rae kung [ rae@chineserestaurantawards.com ]&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>Winners of the Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards&nbsp; &#8211; Metro Vancouver<\/b><br \/>\n21 awards in total | <span style=\"color: #008000\">*new awards this year <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">*returning award this year<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST HAR GOW (SHRIMP DUMPLING)<\/span><br \/>\nKirin Restaurants<br \/>\n1172 Alberni Street, Vancouver (604) 682-8833<br \/>\n2\/F, 555 W. 12th Avenue, Vancouver (604) 879-8038<br \/>\n350 Gifford Street, New Westminster (604) 528-8833<br \/>\n200 Three West Centre, 7900 Westminster Hwy, Richmond (604) 303-8833\u2028 <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST FIVE-SPICE BEEF WRAPPED IN CHINESE PANCAKE<\/span><br \/>\nShanghai Morning Restaurant<br \/>\n#125-8291 Alexandra Road, Richmond (778) 297-6098<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST TEA-SMOKED DUCK <\/span><br \/>\nDinesty Dumpling House<br \/>\n1719 Robson Street, Vancouver (604) 669-7769<br \/>\n#160-8111 Ackroyd Road, Richmond (604) 303-7772<br \/>\nAberdeen Centre, #2788-4151 Hazelbridge Way, Richmond (604) 303-9998<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST THREE CUP CHICKEN<\/span><br \/>\nPearl Castle Caf&eacute; <br \/>\n#1128-3779 Sexsmith Road, Richmond (604) 270-3939<br \/>\n#1782-6060 Minoru Blvd, Richmond (604) 279-0177<br \/>\n#14-4429 Kingsway, Burnaby (604) 559-7929<br \/>\n#3000-10153 King George Blvd, Surrey (604) 498-1888<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"><br \/>\n5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST ORIGINAL-FLAVOR EGG WAFFLE <\/span><br \/>\nBubble Queen<br \/>\n#1200-8888 Odlin Crescent, Richmond (778) 297-7838<\/p>\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST SERVICE RESTAURANT<br \/>\nHakkasan Bistro<br \/>\n#110-2811 No. 5 Road, Richmond (604) 273-9191<\/p>\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST FINE DINING RESTAURANT <br \/>\nChang&rsquo;An<br \/>\n#7-1661 Granville Street, Vancouver (604) 681-1313<\/p>\n<p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST DIM SUM RESTAURANT <br \/>\nKirin Restaurants<br \/>\n1172 Alberni Street, Vancouver (604) 682-8833<br \/>\n2\/F, 555 W. 12th Avenue, Vancouver (604) 879-8038<br \/>\n350 Gifford Street, New Westminster (604) 528-8833<br \/>\n200 Three West Centre, 7900 Westminster Hwy, Richmond (604) 303-8833\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST CANTONESE RESTAURANT<br \/>\nBamboo Grove <br \/>\n6920 No.3 Road, Richmond (604) 278-9585<\/p>\n<p>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BEST NORTHERN CHINESE RESTAURANT <br \/>\nPeaceful Restaurant <br \/>\n#110-532 W.
