From its humble beginnings as a chop suey restaurant back in 1925, Sai Woo has grown with Vancouver's dining scene, into what's now a lauded restaurant, led by chef Keev Mah, that serves modern and innovative Asian cuisine done with traditional French techniques. This sparkling wine cocktail is a great pairing with the Asian flavours on the menu.
