Beijing Hot Pot Restaurant
There's a small ceremony to eating here that most Vancouver hot pot rooms skip: the cloisonné copper pots, the charcoal glowing underneath, the sense that dinner is an event rather than a transaction.

What should I order at Don at Kitsilano?
Start with Torched Salmon Belly Rice Bowl, Tornado Prawns, — in Shanghai before bringing that layered background back to Vancouver. The result is a restaurant where Japanese donburi formats meet BC-sourced ingredients and Korean and Chinese technique, operating out of a hand-crafted room where the team built the tables themselves, seasonal florals sit at every place, and every lighting choice was made deliberately. This is a neighbourhood spot for Kitsilano that punches considerably above its price point — it is categorically not expensive — and it earned an OpenTable Diners' Choice for 2024 on the strength of that combination. The menu centers on a handful of dishes that diners return for specifically. The Torched Salmon Belly Rice Bowl — the house's namesake don format — puts the kitchen's technique and sourcing front and center: salmon belly, a rich and fatty cut, finished with torch heat in a preparation that reviewers consistently flag as the dish to anchor your meal to. The Tornado Prawns have developed a reputation as a crowd-puller, known for dramatic presentation and bold seasoning. For the table that wants to push further, the Big Boned Beef Short Rib — slow-cooked over two days — is the kitchen's most labour-intensive production and regulars treat it as the centrepiece order. The Lobster Royale Udon and Seared Koji Foie Gras round out a menu that is short enough to be focused and ambitious enough to surprise. The White Rabbit Crème Brûlée is the dessert the room is known for. The practical move: Don is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm, which means it covers both lunch and a late dinner window that most of Kits does not. Given the room size and the reputation it has built, booking ahead is the right call for dinner on weekends. If the Torched Salmon Belly Don and the Big Boned Beef Short Rib are on the table when you sit down, order both — the kitchen has built its identity around exactly that pairing of technique and ingredient. and whatToOrder.
