There’s no denying that Vancouver is one of the greatest cities in the world. Where else are you able to ski in the mountains and swim in the ocean all in the same day? From our love of the Canucks to our love of food, there’s simply nowhere else like it. So with that in mind, Vancity Buzz and ChowMeNow are bringing you five of the best $5 cheap eats that can only be found in Vancouver.

Roaming Dragon
Known for bringing “authentically unauthentic pan-Asian cuisine” to Vancouver, Roaming Dragon’s Chinese Fried Rice Balls are not to be missed.
