The Awards are organized into three sections: Diners&#8217; Choice Awards, Social Media Choice Awards, and Critics&#8217; Choice Signature Dish Awards. The annual selections are widely recognized as the authority on Chinese food and serve as the go-to restaurant guide for visiting and local food lovers. The Chinese Restaurant Awards are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year and are now the longest running Chinese culinary awards event in the world. Since their founding, the Awards have distinguished themselves as pioneers of the Vancouver Chinese food scene, striving to always inspire, excite, and engage diners.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001taL-7VaVmI4_ZsXJUxzIgGlsflGJRMYVzWfxRm9zmREzmE_tKz6wPMAHLGWbr7qtYnM3g2oiZaSawDAADg7xvGU9kxEfW6uX2s_psOD0Ov8JeeHBdNBTa3BSZ0Jkr7GkTGnMFtGq45-iAHXbM94xvR1YvpUDGmTZUbJqAS21VG1fscOPXIJmL-Gqs9EfGMTh&amp;c=KWcU6As0yaFsPAdlkzM1F79f0RTCZeJHmieUi1Y6iD0mK4H9AaxrYw==&amp;ch=wMSJT9KoE_gssMGHaC03aId-ywz4gDQJQJcdlcWfqnFsF51oBJDS3Q==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" shape=\"rect\">www.ChineseRestaurantAwards.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver&#8217;s favourite Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants revealed Vancouver, B.C., March 5, 2018\u00a0&#8211; The diners have cast their votes and the winning restaurants of the 10th annual\u00a0Chinese Restaurant Awards&#8216; coveted\u00a0Diners&#8217; Choice Awards\u00a0have been chosen.
