Where to find a Wok? Richmond/Burnaby

[CdnLifeguard]

Where is a good Asian store in either Richmond or Burnaby to find a nice, cheap carbon steel wok?

I know a fairly good one shouldn't be more than $20 or $25 or so but I just don't know where to find one.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Shane

Find the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. Now find the north end of the Aberdeen Centre. Right across the street from that end is a small strip mall and beside a field / parking lot. The last store on the east end of that tiny mall is a restaurant supply store. I can't remember the name (which is why I'm giving you these odd directions). I've bought quite a bit of stuff in there. It's all reasonably priced and, the last time I was in, they have a good collection of woks.

Paul B - I was going to recommend the same place - but I think they have moved. They have a branch in Chinatown - but the name has slipped my mind also!

Are you thinking of Tinland Cookware at 244 East Pender?

The Richmond location is deceased. Or at a new location at least.

Boo.

Does anyone happen to know what the place was called?

Or can you recommend somewhere else....?

Thanks,

It was called Tinhan.

There's a little commercial cookware shop on Alexandra, in the mini-mall just east of Jade. It's very reasonable and well stocked.

Also in the bottom floor of The Richmond Public market is a quasi-commercial cookshop. They'll have cheap woks.

Went out to that place today. Picked up a wok for $6.00! Talk about a deal. Now I just got to get it home, season it up and try it out!!

Thanks alot for the input,
