Kalvin's Szechuan Restaurant
Vancouver, Canada
The read// why locals go
Kalvin's Szechuan Restaurant has cooked Taiwanese and Szechuan dishes at 5225 Victoria Drive since 1993, far east of the restaurant districts. The kitchen holds to a classic Taiwanese repertoire alongside the Szechuan plates, and the on-site dining room handles everything from a family dinner to a full banquet. Three decades in one location on a residential East Van stretch tends to mean the regulars, not the visitors, keep a place alive. Prices sit in the mid band, and the room is genuinely a room — dine-in first, with online ordering as an afterthought rather than the business model.
