Since 1990, Tropika has remained the most popular Malaysian/Thai restaurant in Vancouver, with receiving many distinguished awards such as: "Best Other Asian Restaurant", "Golden Plate Award" and "Most Memorable Restaurant." Vancouverites, as well as tourists from all over the world, are overwhelmed by the spectacular culinary skills that Tropika has to offer. A popular signature dish is the K.L. Crab, which is coated with a spicy yet aromatic, crushed and dried shrimp sauce. Another crowd favourite is an exotic, traditional dish of Thailand, Tom Yum Kung Soup, which has an added western twist of lobster meat to enhance its flavour.
