Little Known Vancouver Places to Eat Cheap (Part 1)
by jenkins on July 19, 2007
I’ve compiled some of the best cheap lunch places to eat in Vancouver:
Ebi-Ten – 388 Robson Street – Great fast-food Japanese place – try there Combo number 2 – it’s their unique teriyaki chicken rice bowl with mayo. Less than $6 for the teriyaki chicken and drink. The food is made by a true Japanese staff.
Bale Sandwich – #21-701 Kingsway – Great Vietnamese Sub sandwiches. Less than $3 for a chicken sub.
Babylon Cafe – 716 Robson Street – Some of the best shawarmas in Vancouver. Shawarmas are delicious pita wraps with a mix of chicken (or beef), tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers etc – absolutely delicious. Less than $6 here for a filling meal.
That’s it for now. Stay tuned for Part 2. What are some of your favourite affordable hangouts?

One of my favourite places to eat cheap is in at the Brentwood mall food court. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Thai Pearl, but the Chicken Curry special (to go) was enough for me to eat two meals… and under $6 with a drink!
I used to work near there and always like the Thai Pearl as well. Not only was the chicken curry a great deal for lunch, there are also other sub-$6 combos you can put together yourself. The line-up is always the longest at lunch!
When I’m in Vancouver, I like to eat at Mexi-Cali. The origianl store on Arbutus burnt down a few years back, but it’s opened up again on Dunbar, by the the Stong’s market. Their $5 specials are big, and everything is fresh.
That sounds like an interesting place to try. I will have to add it to my list.
Thanks!
