It is a sad day for anyone who grew up eating potstickers in this city.
After quietly shutting down its Commercial-Broadway outpost late last year, Hon’s Wonton House has now officially closed its flagship Olympic Village spot as well.
A local Vancouverite (oakridge604) on Threads first tipped us off to the closure, noting that the brand appeared to have completely vanished from the city.
A visit to the storefront confirmed the sad news.
The Olympic Village restaurant sits dark and cleared out, with a formal “Notice of Closure” taped to the front door.
The sign reads: “We regret to inform you that Hon’s Wonton House – Olympic Village will be permanently closed as of Jan 9th, 2026.”
This closure marks a significant milestone: with this location gone, there are officially no Hon’s restaurants left in Vancouver proper.
This leaves the Coquitlam location as the sole survivor of the longtime restaurant brand.
For many locals, Hon’s is synonymous with Asian comfort food.
The story began back in 1972 when founder Hon Ip opened the first Hon’s Wonton Noodle House at Main and Pender streets in Chinatown.
At the time, it was the only place in the city to get fresh, hand-made wonton noodles and potstickers.
Mr. Ip’s vision of “quality food with friendly service at a reasonable price” turned the brand into a household name, expanding across the West Coast over the decades.
In 2018, the brand underwent a major refresh to keep up with the times, introducing a more modern aesthetic at the Olympic Village location while trying to preserve its traditional roots.
While Vancouverites can no longer sit down for a bowl of brisket noodles in the city, the legacy isn’t entirely gone.
Back in 1974, the family started selling their products to grocery stores because customers wanted to cook them at home.
Today, Hon’s still operates a massive food processing arm, so you can still find their famous wonton noodles, dumpling wrappers, and potstickers in supermarkets across town.
Hon’s joins a growing list of nostalgic and notable closures in the city, sitting alongside recent departures like Brathaus, Qieu Cafe, and Onezo Tapioca.
