reason 2-52 of why eastvan is the best

POSTED January 16, 2009 BY Calen Knauf

of all the 24 hour food joints in vancouver that I know about eastvan is home to 5 out of seven spots. the naam dosent really count cause its a veggie spot so really it should be 5 out of 6. Theres nothing like the feeling of knowing no matter what time it is you can still get tripe and cheesecake without fail. if Anyone has any other spots I dont know about throw them in the ring.(please no dennys, its not considered a restaurant, its considered a shit hole).

Duffins, one of the best spots 24 hours or not. Torta subs, namwiches, chinese, burgers, shakes, bubble tea, macheteed young coconut… oh and donuts.(RIP main st location. nothing like watching 6 old filipino guys gambling outside under a sign saying “no gambling”)

Gold train, A delicious mix of pho and sensory overload anytime of day.

Bino’s, personally I have never been here cause I have a thing with tan and brown signs and brown tinted windows, but every one from champlain swears by it.

Tops, one of the more classy spots, you can get cheescake and chicken fingers an shit. its kinda like whitespot.

Pho hoa, good pho all night long, sorry the picture sucks, we couldent slow down and it was dark.

East kingsway is ike 24 hour central. all those places except Duffins are on Kingsway between nanaimo and wessex.

    I am a huge fan of Duffin’s subs…they’re so good.

  • Jef Choy

    man…where were you when the hoodwar was going down?

  • SR

    what the heck happened to Hood wars…
    I need closure!
    (jchoy won it!)

  • http://www.calenknauf.com Calen Knauf

    I didnt really take part in the hood wars cause I didnt want to waste any of my reasons to use in this ongoing feature.

  • Ian

    man your seriously hitting up all the spots i hit up in my neighborhood. dude that golden train is owned by a family where their kid goes to killarney haha. binos and duffins though good look def ill spots to hit at 3am when ya starving and out around prowling the streets late at night.

  • Ian

    * yea everyone in champlain swears by it. serious biz naz man. CH baby.

  • http://www.calenknauf.com Calen Knauf

    champlain, WHAT! killarny! represent.

  • http://bloodoftheyoung.com trh

    man, tops is horrifying! i dont know what youre talking about. that place is about a 3 minute walk from my house and i’ve only been twice because it was so bad those two times.

    binos is legit though. tons of interesting characters in there, plus theyve got deep fried ice cream!

  • Flora

    Bad experiences at Pho Hoa… my friend projectile vomited while I was sitting across from him.

  • Winston

    I live in Coquitlam, but I make the drive out for Bino’s and Duffins.

    Even though Bino’s is kinda dirty, you can sit and relax there as long as you want and get unlimited amount of coffee. The staff is nice and the food is decent.

    And nothing beats a chicken and avocado sandwich at Duffins in the middle of the night. I really wish we had a Duffins in Coquitlam.
