Hope you’re doing great Tim! We are so lucky whenever you post a video. One thing I notice is how you always try to make servers feel special and recognized by calling them by their name. You make everyone’s day better :)
Thank you so much for reaching out.. just having some fun and really grateful that all the servers and hosts there were good sports 🙂
What a sweet soul Tim is!
He seems the name tags. He wants to impress the servers because he's doing a video. That's his livelihood. He wants to be accepted by faking being nice. His over friendliness shows his hypocricy. The same words over and over again..."Wonderful. You're so nice. Thank you so much". If I were the server I would ignore him. I hate such an annoying face. FAKE.
@@janr32226 You call a fake sweet? Look at his face.
@@TimLeeLetsGo They're good sports because they know you're doing a video. They want to protect their restaurant's image. It's not because of you. Try going there without a video. Let's see if everyone would be nice to you.
This is one of your best videos. As a Vancouverite, this helps me find new hidden gems to eat
I agree with you. I'm a big fan of Tim. Nice job Tim 🙋♂️
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support and encouragement! Really not sure how these things turn out; your comments really mean a lot! 🙂
Nicole seems like such a beautiful human being- I hope her birthday was fabulous and the rest of them are even better.
Your videos are always a refreshing break for me, Tim. Thank you for all your amazing content.
Thank you Tim for making these local travel videos in Vancouver.
Because of covid, I haven't flown on a plane yet.
Vancouver always has a special place in my heart and one day I'll get there when things will be behind us.
Thank you for reaching out Aiden! Hope we're all able to travel safely soon!... And hope you can visit in the not too distant future 🙂
I don’t know what more to say all your videos are so positive and I get so much for them thank you for your content.
Awesome guide, Tim! They're all mouth watering, definitely on my future list. Happy Birthday Nicole!
Thank you so much Cerita! Will definitely pass along the message to Nicole and I think you made her day!
Another charming and wonderful presentation of Vancouver. Cheers.
Thank you for your kind comment Laurie🙂
You are so sweet for offering that couple dessert and taking them for a second round!! that literally made my heart happy

Amazing job Tim!!! Thank you! Can’t wait to try your suggestions
Oh C T, that lamb platter was such a great deal!
Thank you so much, Tim! Everything looked so good, but the oysters are my favorite.
I pray mom is well!
Thank you so much Martha! Yes, mom is doing very well. Things are opening back up here and it's nice to be able to go out again. And I totally agree, oysters were definitely nice and plump 😋
Wow! Great video! Adventurous day in downtown Vancouver is so exciting especially when jammed packed with great eateries and scenery. Yum! So nice to tag along for your friend Nicole's birthday celebration. Feels like I've spent a day in downtown Vancouver. So enjoyable! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again! ... We had a very nice day, but we certainly felt it in the end. I think we ate a little too much that day😉
Awesome video! Looking forward to more travel/city guide videos in the future! 😉
Thank you Rishad! Shall we explore Montreal?😃
Fantastic view of Vancouver, absolutely beautiful city. Good coverage of places of interests, and eatery :) Love the izakaya platter, and oyster. Ice cream is nice to end the night ;)
Thank you Lina, it was a very nice outing but we ended up with way too much food... Certainly felt it in the following days 🙂
Great work, Tim! So good to see you healthy and eating well!
Thank you Boyd... No I think we might have overdone it with a eating 😉
Always a pleasure to see you again,so beautiful place and delicious food.
Thank you so much again 🙂. I think we might have over done it a little bit that day ... We were both really full 🙂
I'm from Seattle and I've never been to Canada. Now because of your videos it's on my bucket list! You do a fantastic job thank you so much for sharing your travels and the food I cannot tell you how much the food means to me!
Live in Portland. You have to go! My family will visit Seattle then Vancouver BC. We will hit up the Richmond night market and all of the Asian foods. Granville Island is our favorite. We will get prosciutto and pate and bread and eat it while watching the boats go past us.
When you go to Canada, make sure you don't meed him. He looks more like a scammer than a food vlogger.
@@mark72141 And you know this … because …?
OHMYGOSH Tim, this is a fantastic episode. Such great editing and every foodie stop is awesome👌 looking. I love the lighting and camera angles throughout. English Bay is Perfect. What a lovely day too. Everything looks Wonderful for Nicole's two birthday dinners:) This episode was so Worth the wait😃 Best wishes, James and Kim ❤
Thank you so much James and Kim. We over did it with the food and was very full afterwards. Much appreciate the comment on the lighting.. setting the camera to automatic was the key😉.
Hope you both are well and enjoying the house 🙂
You are so friendly and kind making friends everywhere you go good stuff!
Thanks Tim for sharing this fabulous experience. Vancouver is my favourite city and I love the foods:)
Happy Birthday to the Lovely Nicole. Thanks so much for sharing Vancouver with me. It is now on my will do LIST!
Hi Dorene! Many thanks for the birthday wishes to nicole! And definitely passing the on. It was certainly a full day in more ways than one 😉
Hi Tim,I’m from Canada, in Toronto ont, I love watching your shows, So many fish meals love it,and your having a great time enjoy😊
This is a great video! Helpful with planning upcoming trips. Thank you!
Thank you Natalie 🙂... happy travels to you!!!
Hey Tim, long time not having seen your vlogs updates. Thanks for this new video, it is always amazing to watch your guides! Very interesting insights, loving it!
Thank you again Patrick! It's surprisingly different to talk about the city you're in ... Most things are taken for granted 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo I agree, guess it is so true for everyone having had this pandemic experience, among other things, to learn the place where one's living in bit better, to slow down and sometimes ponder on things which were, as you say it so right, taken for granted.
Fantastic video! This helps me with not travelling right now, living in Vancouver, these are all places that I can explore. Thank you for highlighting all these great places.
Thank you Natalie, it's quite fun exploring the city... It's interesting because there's a lot of places we don't go as a local... But I guess this is a perfect opportunity to visit. 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo It is the perfect time to be a tourist in our own city. We don't always take full advantage of all the great things we have available to us in our home towns. I look forward to seeing what else you discover.
Thanks for the tour Tim as a Aussie i enjoy your videos look forward to seeing your next one cheers
Thank you so much Bev! Hoping things are okay in Australia! I've got quite a bit of family in Melbourne and Sydney and understand there's currently a lockdown. Hope things are well and safe with you! 🙂
Great job vlog, Tim! Thanks so much for showing us around Vancity! I'm thinking about moving there & I think you sold me. Especially the sushi on the tray...OH MY!! Overall, very fun & informative. Stay safe!
Thank you so much for reaching out and an early welcome to Vancouver if you do move here! It's actually quite a nice place and food is very good here.
Happy birthday, Nicole! And congratulations, Tim! You create a very nice story of Vancouver reopening after all those strictures and restrictions!🐸🍓🐬🧚♂️🥭🐸🍇🐸🌻🐸⛷🐳🐸
Hi Petr, really glad that things have opened up here... I think everyone has been missing the interaction together 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo You are hundred percent right about this, Tim!🤗
THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR AND THE GREAT FOOD PLACES
Thank you again Linda! 🙂
So beautiful there.. glad to see you back
Thank you Candyce... It's quite nice when it's not raining ...nice to have the Sun out 🙂
Come back to Vegas! I'd trade a day of rain!! Have a great week..😎
I like that your videos are positive and upbeat without any snark
I really enjoy your videos! Thanks so much for doing this ☺️
Thanks Leanne, it was quite fun going around downtown vancouver, but we certainly got very full afterwards 😣😉
Thanks for another video, Tim.
Another great food video blog, Tim. Nice meeting you and thanks for incorporating me into your video at 24:53 mins. Cheers and keep on doing what you love.
Jon
Hi Jon! Thank you so much for being such a good sport 🙂. Very much appreciated and thank you again so much 🙂
What an exceptional video, thanks Tim and Happy Birthday for your upcoming Birthday.
Thank you River Danube 😃
Great Video Tim! Your local videos will really help out if we decide to visit Vancouver one day!
Thank you again 🙂. Much appreciate you taking your time to reach out.. and hope you get a chance to visit soon 🙂
I love the food at the Babylon Cafe on Denman St. The smell of the slow cooked meat on that vertical rotisserie has drawn me there many times. Reminds me of summer!
Good call Peter! Agreed 👍 Favorite is the chickens for my plate 😋
This is one of my favourite videos that you’ve done Tim as you really showcased all the great places and ears that Vancouver has to offer. Also really loved the pan shots of the coastline - did you use a drone to get those? Hope that your friend Nicole had a great birthday! 🙂 thanks for keeping in touch with this latest video.
Thank you so much Jen and Jonmichael...it got way too long but much appreciated. It was a good opportunity to try some of the new places also. Hope you're both keeping well and will definitely pass along the birthday wishes to Nicole 🙂
Makes me want to go back to Vancouver soon to follow your lead Tim. Great selection of dining options in a beautiful city to our north.
Hi Thomas, wanna trade places? Vancouver and San Francisco? 😃. SF is also an amazing place!
Awesome video to watch and learn from.
Glad to see another upload! Like the new intro
Thank you Jonathan, much appreciated 🙂
LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO VISIT, ALL THE FOOD LOOKS SO DELICIOUS. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB TIM.
Thank you so much Tracey! It was quite a nice day that day but we went a bit overboard with the food 😉
Thanks for the video Tim. I'm visiting Vancouver in October. Now I know what to do and to eat
Glad to hear about your visit! Hoping this helps as one can spend an entire day in the downtown Vancouver packed with lots to do. Because travel is once again open in Canada, we're looking forward to visiting Toronto and Montreal
thanks for this video. I cannot wait to visit Vancouver
Hope you get a chance to visit…😀
Yummy Yummy and Cheers to Nicole and the best tour guide in town! :) PS: Enjoyed the East Indian Buffet a lot!
I am coming to Vancouver Monday, November 1 for the entire week and I keep watching your video over and over because I want to try a lot of these places you were visiting for food! They all look amazing and I’m super excited to visit your beautiful city!
Welcome to Vancouver Richard! How is your visit so far? Hope you get a chance to explore and hope you're keeping dry! 😀
Thanks for the video. I’m on holiday and your video provided us with some great suggestions!
Hi Mark! Hope you're having a great holiday and hope you're enjoying Vancouver if you're visiting here. Looks like things are getting back to normal and all the best to you 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo we had some great dinning experiences thanks to you and your videos. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
I decided to watch another older video and surprise! it's another video with your pal Nicole and it's her birthday in this one as well.. oh and I got to see that seawall again lovely views...that bento box/tray looked fantastic. I liked the communal tables at The Greek and the red booth seating set up oh oh and the food of coarse. That smore ice cream looked delish
I can tell that you were in the hospitality/restaurant industry by the way you served those potatoes. Great video! Cheers from the Prairies!
Yay! Buck a shuk! I was afraid that didn’t exist anymore. Definitely making my way there, thanks Tim! Another great video!
Thank you so much, L! Definitely enjoying the buck a shuck deals 😋
Love all the places you went to! We will be checking these out next time we are in Vancouver!
Hope you get a chance to visit in the near future ... where are you from?
@@TimLeeLetsGo we are in Calgary 😁
Oh Tim! Loving your videos as usual. I now have a whole new arsenal of restaurants to try in my home town. If you ever go back to kingyo, definitely try their truffle udon! Sending you good wishes and hoping your family and loved ones are healthy and thriving. To more good food to come, cheers!
Thank you so much! I must have missed the truffle udon and would have definitely ordered it... can't wait to give it a try on the next visit :-)
Great video, thanks for all the ideas of places to eat!
Thanks Paula 🙂... certainly had fun doing it😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo I didn’t know Kingyo does a bento box lunch (which looked fantastic) Not sure if you’ve been there already, but Izakaya Gon’s on Denman … if not, you have to try their version, Gon’s lunch box. A little pricier but it is worth every penny. It is my all time favourite ‘treat myself’ lunch….
Great video , I love love Vancouver! !
Thank you so much Kati 🙂
As always Tim, love your vids!
Thank you Jim🙂
This was a really good showcase of the amazing restaurants in Vancouver. The lamb dish must've been spectacular. Time to visit Yaletown. And happy birthday to your friend. Cheers!~~
Oh, I can certainly use a platter of that lamb right now 😋
I love your videos! I find them so soothing!
Thank you Jan😀
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you! Top notch videos!
Some of those places i have been, great food. Your in my hometown you got my subscription...
So good to see nicole again a very happy birthday to her 🎈🎉🎈.the year of Seattle world's fair (1962) our family from san Diego went to Seattle for the fair and Stanley park in BC. We all took pictures by the totem poles...I was 12.😁🇺🇸❤
Hi Pat! Ohhh, I should have captured those totem poles in the video. Gosh, I wonder how much it has changed... Hope things are well in San Diego!
we are coming to Vancouver next weekend for a MUCHLY needed weekend getaway. looking forward to exploring and eating Vancouver.
Hi D'Arcy, a big welcome to you! I hope you have a few places planned out... Lots to see and enjoy 🙂

@@TimLeeLetsGo that’s great you have a passion for life man. I’m flying to Vancouver in a few days time for work, been watching your videos and am going to try some of the restaurants!! How is van city atm? I saw there were bad floods??
You're such a lovely friend. Excellent video!
Really enjoyed exploring Vancouver with Nicole 🙂

Hi Hiro! Hope you get a chance to visit! Are you in Japan now?
@@TimLeeLetsGo Yes, I live in Tokyo Japan now :)
Nice! You're a good friend gifting chocolate and dinner. Great vid.
Hi Ingrid, just happy to be able to celebrate together 🙂
Nice video! Reminds me of my first visit in Vancouver after Labour Day years ago. I miss the wonderful city.
Hoping you get a chance to plan a visit here or just travel anywhere soon. Very nice to see things opening up again! Take care!
All that food looked so good. I love lamb very much, and would have like to try that. What a nice area for a walk. Happy Birthday to Nicole. Cheers, Tim! ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you so much Dwayne 🙂. Will certainly pass along the birthday wishes to Nicole 🙂
Awesome ! Tim great video from Vancouver BC 👌
Thank you so much Patrice 🙂
love your videos Tim , Cheers from southern Alberta !
Thank you so much Brendan! Hope things are going well in Alberta for you, and that kind shout out to you from Vancouver 🙂
Love you videos Tim. Saw you at Kingyo that day but was too shy to say hi. Keep up the great vids!
Thank you so much for reaching out Alex! Please come say hi next time😀
Great video again Tim. The Lamb looked Delicious. Happy BDay to your friend Nicole.
Hi Tom, will be sure to pi that song to Nicole. Very good lamb indeed😋
That kaysideya looks great! Love fish tacos!
Lived in Vancouver for a year, loved it
What a great birthday feast. Makes me want to visit Vancouver.
I think we overdid it that day, and afterwards we did mention that thank goodness this only comes once a year 😆
@@TimLeeLetsGo Well it sure was entertaining, but I know I couldn't have kept up with you. Ha Ha
I live in Vancouver downtown and I know most of those places but it’s great to see when other people are enjoying it. My biggest surprise nonetheless has nothing to do with the places but actually the amount of food you could eat within some hours!! I was in awe…😲😮 Everything what you were eating looked good although I don’t eat meat, by just looking at all the food you showed it made me so full and couldn’t even finish watching the last food at the Greek restaurant! 🤣🤣 I only have 2 meals a day and mostly vegetarian so maybe that’s why I was so stuffed by all the food. I’m just admiring how much you can eat in one day. It must be fun to try so many different food though. 😋🍱🍣🍤🌯🍺🦪🌮🍰🧀🫓🍖🥘🍨
Hi Hajime, we certainly way overdid it with the food... Nicole and I were feeling so full afterwards. I have been noticing quite a lot of great vegetarian places around town also, and had many suggestions about new vegetarian or vegan places. Looking forward to try😋. Thank you again🙂
Just came across your video and would be trying out some of the restos I haven’t tried since I’m now in Vancouver thanks for the tour and you are quite pleasant to watch and you are kinda cute! Hehe
If you go to Babylon cafe, try the poutine with their shawarma 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo alrighty will take note of that. Noticed there’s two Babylon cafe nearby the Nelson and Denmark st. Will check out Nelson branch thanks again
What a great video, thanks! My wife says we need to hire you as our tour guide the next time we make it up to Vancouver. It's been 8 years since we last visited. Vancouver is a beautiful city... loved it each of the three times we were there.
Thanks boozwaa🙂... Just having fun exploring and meeting up with Nicole. Unfortunately, we did overdo it with the food as we were so uncomfortably full by the end of the evening 😆
@@TimLeeLetsGo Ugh...I could never eat as much as you do in your videos. More power to you.
Loved it ♥️!
Thank you Anna!
i visited vancouver 3 times as a kid and i absolutely fell in love with the city and culture. fast forward to now unfortunately i have not had a chance or opportunity to get time off to visit BC van again. thanks for sharing your experience absolutely enjoyed every second of it. cheers mate
Thank you so much for reaching out! Hope all is well with you and sounds like you're way overdue for a visit! 🙂
What a great vlog, Tim. Burris is everywhere in Phoenix: tacos, ramen, pizza…. You can sip the consommé after a bite of the taco, too. Less messy than dipping. Lol!
Thank for the tip Brian! And I gotta visit Phoenix for the birria 😋
I am super impressed by your hobbit approach to eating. My appetite is living vicariously through you! I need that dessert from the greek restaurant. Thanks for the food hopping journey. Will try to mimic at least 2 spots in one day!
Hi Tim great video you were at some very nice restaurants. Food looked delicious and amazing. And the walk you on looked relaxed and fun. Still on hunt for a delicatessen? 😀😀 you have definitely encouraged me to visit Vancouver for sure. Thanks a bunch tim. Continue to stay safe.
Hey Calvin, my good friend Rishad, Ana, Davorin and I, will actually be heading over to Montreal. We have the delis lined up... can't wait to find that great smoked meat or pastrami sandwich. By the way, Rishad is fantastic at recommending places to eat! He recommended most of the places on this video.
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH VERY INFORMATIVE💯FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS I GOT TO TRY THAT LAMB😋
That was a massive plate of lamb.. hope you get to visit soon!
I love this! I am headed out west and it is my second trip so I was looking at how to change it up.
Amazing! 😍❤
I will try byunto box tomorrow. Thank you!👍
😍😍 local vancouverite but have not been to some of these restaurants. Thank you for your suggestions!
Thanks for reaching out. It's a nice problem to have where there's too many places to try😀
Everything looks so good to eat. Glad to see you are happy and healthy. Stay safe. ❤️from Arizona
Thank you Alford🙂. My friend Lois for the visit Arizona recently and absolutely loved it!
The ice cream looked so wonderful
Thank you so much for reaching out Valerie 🙂
I love food and this video is really on my taste. I am not an icecream lover but I would absolutely try these ones. Great video, Tim! I've just hit the subscribe button! I don't live in Canada but I'm planning to move to Vancouver ❤
A very warm early welcome to you! Hope your move is a stress free one 😀
Thank you, Tim! Fingers crossed! I wanted to ask what is your secret in staying fit with all that amazing food around you? 😁
@@iulianahumeniuc3990 Not really fit at all, I suspect the secret is finding the right camera angle when filming 😉
Keep up the great work !
Thank you Scott 🙂
I lost my appetite due to working at an intensive sports country club in West Van with its entire dining services going under renovation. By watching your video, I remember how much fun it is to get better food (ie. not health club foods and not just Chipotle's) and I am excited to eat more!
It sounds like an amazing place to work at! Always fun to explore and try new foods… Thank you so much for reaching out!
Staff and contractors at the club get free meals or large discounts on food. Yes, I am eating more by watching your Channel. Also went to check out Vessi shoes at Metrotown. Quite practical with the waterproof function for Vancouver. Will return my designer casual shoes (slipper when wet) and get Vessi using your coupon code. Thanks! @@TimLeeLetsGo
Thank you so much for sharing these Vancouver travel tips!!! My Vancouver -> Yellowknife trip has been delayed for 2 years due to the pandemic...here's hoping for 2022! :D
Hi Willa, hopefully the end is in sight and we can travel again. Are there any restrictions between Yellowknife and Vancouver at the moment?
@@TimLeeLetsGo I hope so too! I'm not sure if there are restrictions specifically between Vancouver and Yellowknife, but I'd be traveling from the US, and Blachford Lake Lodge is welcoming NWT residents only at this time. :)
First love your videos Tim!
Thank you Melanin😃
