It grew from a single street stall into a full restaurant blending Shaanxi snacks with rich hot pot, and now operates two BC locations — West Vancouver and Surrey. Touring cyclists riding the Marine Drive corridor would find a sit-down meal centred on regional Chinese cuisine well outside the usual North American-Chinese template.","source":"sonnet_4.6"},"website":{"value":"https://www.laocai.ca/","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":"1425 Marine Drive, V7T 1B9","source":"enrichment"},"phone":{"value":"+1 604 925 9231","source":"enrichment"},"email":{"value":"laocaidining@gmail.com","source":"html"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":"2 racks within 100m: stands (4 spaces, covered) at 54m; rack (4 spaces) at 100m.
