Founded in 2009, the HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards has grown into an influential event highlighting Metro Vancouver’s unique and exciting Chinese culinary scene. They are considered the authority on everything Chinese food - serving as a restaurant and dining guide for local and visiting food lovers. The Awards are divided into two components: Critics’ Choice Signature Dish Awards (awarded by a panel of distinguished food writers and industry influencers) and the publicly-chosen Diner’s Choice Awards.

The role of the HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards increased significantly when Canada officially received ‘Approved Destination Status’ from the Republic of China in June 2010. It is a well-known fact that wherever they travel in the world, Chinese people prefer to eat Chinese food. As discerning connoisseurs, they eagerly follow news of the best places to dine, news of top chefs or, now, the results of the HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards.
