Chinese Food Delivery on East Hastings
The strip from Nanaimo to Boundary — open till 2 AM weekends
The late-night Chinese kitchen for the East Hastings strip
East Hastings is the commercial spine of East Vancouver — a twenty-block artery of Indian groceries, Vietnamese diners, bakeries, BC Liquor outlets and independent shops that runs from Nanaimo out to Boundary Road. It's also where most kitchens shut the lights off by 10 PM. We don't.
From our East Broadway kitchen it is a straight ten-block run north to Hastings; Chinese deliveries to the strip land hot in twelve to eighteen minutes whether you're near Nanaimo, Renfrew, Rupert, Kaslo or out past PNE and Empire Fields.
The menu is Hakka-Chinese (also called Indo-Chinese) — the wok-fired stir-fry tradition behind chilli chicken, hakka noodles, manchurian and schezwan rice. If your reference point is American-Chinese chow mein, this is something different: bolder, more aromatic, sharper finish.
Why the East Hastings crowd orders Chinese from IndoCave
- Late-night Chinese kitchen — open till 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.
- 12–18-minute delivery up and down the strip.
- A different kind of Chinese — Hakka, not American-Chinese.
- Family & combo options for groups heading home after PNE or Empire Fields events.
