Hi,
I have a bit of a strange request from a foreign visitor to Vancouver. They would like to order Chinese take out and eat out of those white boxes with metal handles (like they show in the movies), but most restaurants here use foil or styrofoam containers. Does anyone know of a Chinese Restaurant that still uses those white take out boxes? |||Not Chinese... but Thai Express uses those little boxes. Thai Express is the thai take-out/foodcourt place they have in the malls. I'm originally from Vancouver but currently reside in Toronto so I'm not sure if they have it in Van right now...but USUALLY..What they have in TO, they will have in VAN!

From what I remember growing up in Vancouver, I never ate Chinese out of those little takeout boxes. They only use those boxes in places where Chinese food is rare (like small towns), so they try to make it as cute and authentic as possible (even though the food tastes like crap, probably). Other than that, go to those art stores or maybe the dollar store and buy those boxes haha. |||There is a new restaurant in Queensborough landing that serves Asian food out of the white boxes...called Wok Box. It is near the walmart in queensborough landing. Although it is not a traditional chinese restaurant it does serve their food out of those boxes. They put the rice or noodles on the bottom and then whatever you choose on top, so they are a one person meal per box...some curry dishes as well. Or you can go to a packaging company (like essential Packaging in Langley) and buy the boxes and put you take out in that...
That is the only place I have seen the boxes. Good luck.|||Go to your mall, there is usually a chinese place in there. Should be china gormet or something. Ask them for a "sides" box. They should have plenty.

Also, asian markets sell them. I also have people asking to eat chinese out of those little boxes. They arent so bad, they are small enoguh to carry and eat out of, but are annoying if your sitting down and eating. |||Not around here. Some non-chinese restaurants use them for to-go boxes! If you're really in the business of pleasing these visitors, go to the craft store or party supply store and buy a pack ... then figure out how to get the food in there later ...

Good Luck.|||Why dont you make fresh chinese and order some of these cute chinese boxes..they have wide variety.http://www.nashvillewraps.com/ShowType.w鈥?/a>|||come to the grand place of the US of A and they have the white boxes.|||i do not... but you can buy those boxes at some groceries stores if that helps|||looool
