Alvin Garden in Burnaby

The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive and friendly, making the entire experience even better. If you re a fan of authentic Hunan cuisine or simply love bold, flavorful dishes, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

It is the same taste of where it comes from. Excellent restaurant.

This restaurant tastes authentic. If you want to eat Hunan cuisine, come here. Smoked bamboo shoots and bacon are my favorite

The spicy pigs fingers are soft, waxy and charred, recommended!

Waiter, wore gloves while working. Went to washroom with gloves and came back with it on.

Dont bother ordering on their website. I placed an order for $82 online, but an error occurred. called and was told the transaction didnt go through as she couldnt see the order on the terminal and will cancel for me if it appeared. I ended up placing the same order through the phone and paid in person. However, my visa was charged the $82. Called back to which the staff said nothing they can do told me to dispute through visa? The food was good, but I felt like I was scammed.

Authentic Hunan cuisine + great service

Bad service, been there several times and always had to wait for very long time to be seated or served, seemed like there was only one waitress working for the whole restaurant. One time one of the dishes we ordered was served when we almost finished the other two dishes and were about to take the check, which is absurd. Some dishes were fine but some were really oily.

Cheap and delicious Recommend the fat intestine chicken

Delicious food that I want to eat every day!

Good service, delicious food, the ceiling of Hunan cuisine, everyone hurry up

This is my first time eating Hunan cuisine in Metro Vancouver. The portions are huge and the taste is very good! Very cost-effective

Very delicious! great experience

Its so delicious. I feel like Im home.

The decoration style is elegant, there are many dishes, and they taste good. My daughter likes the dishes here very much and has to eat them every time. Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces in the community center parking lot opposite, just walk across the road.

Good place to go with friends.

I have to say, it tastes really good and is not greasy! The free-range chicken is so fresh that I highly recommend it, the cold celery salad is refreshing and soothing, and the pickled pepper chicken is delicious. Highly praised!

Food is amazing and If you go with a group of friends, it s pretty cheap. 15-20 per person in a group. Only thing is the communication is a bit hard but it s worth it.

It s good!

We waited 40min for our first dish, an additional 20min for the second, and another 10min for the third. On the top of the long wait, all the dishes were overly salty.

Very delicious and affordable

The taste is great, the environment is also very good, and the dishes are generous. Two people ordered two dishes and were full!

Very delicious. The offal is very clean. It tastes good. The portion is large and clean. The service is very good. I will eat here when I come to Burnaby in the future.

The canteen downstairs has great stir-fried pork!

Wall Crack recommends this restaurant, every dish is exquisite

I have been eating in restaurants for more than ten years. It is the best value for money and delicious Hunan cuisine in Greater Vancouver. It is one of the restaurants. I understand everything! The newly renovated dining environment is better!

The dining environment is very good, the food is served quickly and the food tastes good.

Great taste and service, highly recommended!

Good food

Alvin Garden is hands down one of the best dining experiences I ve had in a long time! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, a perfect setting for a meal full of bold flavors. The food Simply outstanding. Every dish we ordered was packed with the rich, spicy flavors that Sichuan cuisine is known for. The spice levels were just right intense but not overwhelming allowing the complex layers of flavor to really shine through. My personal favorites were the spicy beef tendon and the dry fried chicken both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the food. If you re a fan of authentic Sichuan cuisine or looking to try something new, Alvin Garden is the place to go. I can t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommend!

Good quality, low price, good service attitude

Super fast service. Food was delicious too. Will definitely come back!

Great food but need optimize the atmosphere.

Excellent spicy food ! Almost everything worth a try!

The environment is comfortable, the taste is very good and authentic, I will come again

Delivers, every time!

Great food and great service

It s so delicious, I eat it once a week!

Great Hunan food and friendly, efficient service. Generous portions.

The Hunan cuisine in Xiangyuan is truly outstanding! Every dish is delicious in color, aroma, attractive, rich in taste, and endless aftertaste. Whether it is classic dishes or special dishes, you can feel the charm of authentic Hunan cuisine. It is definitely worth a try!

Authentic Hunan cuisine, so delicious that I couldn t stop eating it. I forgot to take pictures when I was eating it. I didn t remember it until I was almost finished.

very delicious

Belly flower, fish - fragrant meat, cumin lamb, potato shredded are all very delicious! Spicy and fragrant! Praise

Tasty food, consistent quality!

I have been eating authentic Hunan cuisine for more than ten years, and the excellent quality remains unchanged!

Tasty food, bit spicy

It was okay.... the cauliflower was kind of bland and the cold spicy chicken was kind of mushy... we also ordered gyoza and the meat was kind of raw in the middle.......

Good dining experience!

The decoration is very unique, the portions of the dishes are large, and they are delicious and delicious!

This is my favorite place to eat for many years. It tastes like home, delicious and not expensive. Highly recommended! Xiang Yuan!

Taste good. Came here several times.

Good is superb. The food is cooked to perfection.

Taste of Hunan , the food is very good, the portions are large and the taste is good, I come here for several days in a row

Food is great!! Got a good amount of selections

Food and service was great, value was good! Clean and newly renovated restaurant.

My favorite fern root powder! ! ! !

Fragrant

Very delicious and authentic! Flavours really hit the spot. Would come again with my family!

The food is very authentic and delicious! Everyone really enjoyed the dishes and would come again!

More authentic Hunan cuisine, I like fish soup, pickled bamboo shoots and bacon, and fried pork liver. I hope there are more choices of fresh vegetables.

Great place for Sichuan and hunan flavored dishes!

The dishes for lunch here are delicious but be warned the level of spiciness is inconsistent. Been there a hand full of times and although Ive ordered the same dish (cumin lamb & veggies on rice) the mild spice request has burned me at times & barely there others. Overall its a good place for lunch around $12 taxes in. Be warned they like cash only if your order is less than $50 total. 7years later(now 2024) and I think their quality has gone down. I asked for Cumin rice and lamb and mild Spicy to go. They gave me just lamb with plane rice and a very rushed and watery soup with a turnip wedge a couple carrot wedges and a small piece of meat I couldnt identify. It took 30 minutes for my order. Atmosphere is all they have going on. A $17 lunch special that disappoints, means my office will hear about it and likely pick to go to ChongQing nearby instead.

Ordered spicy fried onion lamb on rice. N it was made fresh immediately and ready for pick up. Food was very satisfying :) front staff very professional.

Have been to this restaurant for over 10 years, the food is always good with excellent service, highly recommend!

Very good! A person can eat three bowls of rice!

The taste is very authentic. I didn t expect Burnaby to have such authentic Hunan cuisine. Parking: There is a parking lot Kid-friendliness: Children who can eat spicy food

Good food!

I have been here many times and the Hunan cuisine is very authentic. The braised pork, pickled fish and stir-fried pork are all delicious. There are also non-spicy dishes suitable for children, such as beef with broccoli, scrambled eggs with shrimp, etc. Will come again

Hunan cuisine is considered to be the best in Burnaby. Friends who like spicy food should not miss it.

Good because my husband work as fantuan driver and he often visit to take orders

Certified authentic Hunanese, I ordered chicken with pickled beans, pickled bamboo shoots and bacon, and the signature wild pepper beef.

This is one of our favorite Chinese places. They have so many delicious spicy dishes and it s nice that they are not too oily. We are definitely coming back.

The food is not too oily, and choose spicy level. Good location with parking lot at the back. It s a nice restaurant for family gathering. New renovations, nice and clean, I would come again.

Very authentic spicy Chinese cuisine - highly recommend!

Nice spicy food and nice service.

This place is absolutely amazing. The prices are reasonable, the food tastes great as well as traditional and the portions are reasonably large. Also, there are lots of options.

Alvin Garden is a gem! The authentic Hunan cuisine is bursting with flavors and perfectly spiced. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal or special occasion. I highly recommend the spicy fish fillet and the stir-fried pork with green peppers. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience every time. If youre looking for a true taste of China, Alvin Garden wont disappoint. Ill definitely be coming back!

good food and service

really good

Great Hu Nan cuisine with plenty of unique dishes.

Go to for cumin lamb and boiled chili beef.

Good customer service, nice decoration, delicious food!

Very fragrant, large and delicious

Authentic Hunan spicy food, large portion, friendly & quick service.

Recommend the fried chicken with tea tree mushrooms, order it every time!

Delicious! I like the Kung Pao Chicken very much. It s not too spicy. It s just the right amount of spiciness. Very delicious! ! !

The saliva chicken is delicious and tastes good hometown bacon

Very good, especially the service staff is amazing

This is an authentic Hunan style restaurant with some Sichuan style dishes.

The taste is very authentic

Good taste for many years, authentic Hunan cuisine

The taste is delicious, spicy and enjoyable, and the staffs service attitude is also very good.

The food tastes very good! The portion is also very generous! The price is right too!

I come here often, its very delicious, and the staffs service attitude is also very good.

This Hunan restaurant is really impressive. From the decoration to the dishes, everything is full of rich Xiangdi style. The taste of the dishes not only retains the traditional spiciness, but also has a unique flavor. It is spicy enough without being too exciting. We especially recommend their stir-fried beef with wild pepper and stir-fried kidney. They are very spicy and delicious, and every bite is a treat, especially when paired with rice. Eggplant is also highly recommended, especially suitable for summer and very appetizing. The service is also very attentive, and the waiters are warm and friendly, making people feel at home. Whether it is a family dinner or a gathering of friends, this Hunan cuisine restaurant is a very good choice.

Authentic Hunan cuisine, the food is delicious and tasty.

The Hunan cuisine restaurant in Burnaby tastes very good. I always like to eat at her home. The environment is also better after the renovation.

Very good spicy food! Must try!

Delicious and delicious

Very tasty food, and great service, it s always a pleasure to come around.

Yogurt Hemp Flower $1, you can t buy it, you ll suffer a loss, you can t buy it, you ll be cheated

The food was good, but the food was served too slowly. I ordered a cold dish and two hot dishes. I waited for 20 minutes for the cold dish, 1 hour and 6 minutes for the first hot dish, and 1 hour and 15 minutes for the second hot dish.

Perfect Hunanese food, good atmosphere! I really enjoy the pig feet and the pork!

My cafeteria partner! Highly recommended to all those who come to Vancouver, don t miss it!

One of the best Hunan style restaurants in the city!

Delicious and not expensive, very good

It s been a long time since I ve had such delicious food! delicious! Will come again

Im full every time I come here

Spicy or not, it s delicious

First time here and loving it! It s authentic Hunan cuisine, so if you like hot and spicy stuff, this is a go-to.

The food was amazing and tasty also the place was really clean1

Delicious Finally found delicious Hunan cuisine near home. The two of us came to eat. The amount recommended by the waiter was just right and we didn t have to order more. The filling was just right. I highly recommend it and will eat here often in the future.

Alvin s Garden specializes in Hunan dishes filled with flavour, spice, and delicious ingredients blended together.

Spice varies day to day Donna is the best Food : 5/5

We have a good experience here! Tomato fillet is Our favorite dish.

Best Hunan food in Vancouver! Must go! I order every time, never disappoints me. They ve also recently remodeled the interior design, so the atmosphere is also great here. Food : 5/5

My favorite restaurant in BC

One hour in store wait for the pick up order, really bad experiences. Need to improve.

The menu is the same as before, but the taste has changed. I don t know if the chef has changed. Many dishes seem to be cooked the same as before, but the taste is completely different. Not as amazing as before. Some dishes did not use ginger and garlic before, some dishes used to be paired with mung bean sprouts and boneless, and some dishes used to be fried and tasted very fresh. Now it feels like the picture has been modified to save trouble and a lot of details have been modified.

The food here is so good! Im an athlete and one spicy green pepper with pork and mapo tofu both with lots of rice are very filling for me to get the calories in. The food is very flavorful and delicious a little more on the salty side but I need more sodium because I drink a lot of water and train a lot, the side salad crunchy and fresh, (especially loved the mu er black fungus and celery), and the soup is rich.

Highly recommend braised eggplant ! ! ! The spicy chicken is also good, but really spicy

The food is good as usual. The servers are always kind. High recommended for spicy food lover

Good food. Been coming here for years. You also get free rice with your meal for the next few days

The spicy chicken is good!!!!

I love their smoked bamboo shoots and fried bacon the most. The food is as stable as ever, and it gets good reviews!

Great food, not too spicy.

Taste is brought in fresh ingredients from local market and made this little Bistro like restaurant a homey place for a satisfying meal for a reasonable price. I had the best fried rice and the best beef briskets in Vancouver. I returned to this restaurant once and will no doubt come back for more.

EXPENSIVE.

It can be said to be the most authentic home-cooked Hunan cuisine I have eaten in Vancouver so far.

Food is amazing!!

Xiangyuan delicacies were brought to us by our friends in Vancouver many years ago. Now that we have come to Vancouver again, of course we must have a good aftertaste. Food is guilt-free! Long live my friend !

Authentic delicious Chinese food with super nice staff!

Very good restaurant near home, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I made a to go order over the phone and it s processed smoothly and correctly. The timing it s okay, said 25 minutes and I got the order right about that time. Didn t wait too long when I arrived. I like the taste of their pork, and mouth watery chicken. Nothing too special but on par with my expectation. The rice is okay, average. Pricing is fair for what I get. I ll visit again for sure, better than the one next door. And it s 3 minutes walk from where I live.

Friendly staff, delicious food, highly recommended:)

The best Hunan restaurant in Vancouver, recommended grilled fish and saliva chicken! ! ! ! ! The service is also great! !

Parking: limited stalls back of building, stree parking available. Food

Food is always tasty!;

The taste is very delicious. The stir-fried vegetables are well cooked. I ordered five dishes and they were all delicious and very filling. Except for the stir-fried beef with wild pepper, which was a bit old and lacked the flavor of the pot, everything else was pretty good. The stir-fried beef with wild sichuan pepper even won an award, which is a bit too much... Its a place where you can often have a quick meal or something to eat.

Every time I order takeout, I have to wait for more than 30 minutes. Every time I do dine-in first and let the takeout wait. If you don t want to waste your time, don t order takeout from them.

I always do dine-in first, otherwise I don t place an order for takeout. After waiting for half an hour, I don t know how long I will have to wait.

Authentic Chinese food with fair price. Delicious spicy food

taste kind of bad. The spicy chicken taste like fish hmmm..really weird

Too cold,also food not so fresh

Would recommend the eggplant, pork kidney, and bamboo shoots with smoked pork

delicious foods always attracts me to come.

My family has brought over 100 friends here over the years and they all love it. My favourite dishes are: mapo tofu, pork with pickled long bean, and beef with pickled chilis.

Just call 911

Yesterday, a colleague wanted to eat spicy food, so he organized nine friends from the company to have lunch. Within 2 hours after returning to the company after eating, three people had diarrhea and two others had vomiting (one of them was a pregnant woman). This time, my wife took everyone there, and I escaped being on a business trip. But recalling that I had been there a few weeks ago, I also had diarrhea right away after eating. I thought it was because my stomach was intolerant to spicy food. It seemed like the restaurant had a general hygiene problem.

They seriously need to get their card machine fixed and stop the cash only unless $50+

Great fish. Highly recommend 4 people combo course. It has many flavors to choose and it has a great value.

A lot of the dishes are really good but their chili oil fish is one of my favourites.

Although it was the first time for me to dine here with my family, and the air-conditioning heater was out of order, the waiter arranged a seat by the window so that it would not be too cold, and quickly filled a large pot of hot water to warm me up. . Sichuan cuisine is characterized by numbing the scalp, while Hunan cuisine is mainly spicy and sweat-inducing. This restaurant advertises its focus on Hunan cuisine, but there are also many Sichuan flavors that will make your mouth water. The four of us ordered five dishes, which were paired with a full pot of rice, which was very satisfying. When ordering, the waiter thoughtfully asked about the spiciness. We chose mild spiciness, just the right seasoning. We had saliva chicken, dry pot sausage, spicy pig knuckles, a large pot of cauliflower and fried bacon with smoked bamboo shoots. It was delicious with rice, and the fat intestine was crispy and chewy. It s tender yet not old. The cumin in the piglet s trotters leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. The crispy sweetness of the smoked bamboo shoots offsets the saltiness of the bacon. There is also the spiciness and crispness of the cauliflower. It is worth recommending this authentic spicy food restaurant that you must try when traveling to Vancouver. .

Ordered from this restaurant on Fantuan App. Took them two hours to cook 3 dishes and when i called them asking whats up, the lady answering tried to give me a wrong order number and tried to convince me that my food is already on the way. Avoid this place if you can.

Good authentic Hunan cuisine

Minced pork with pickled beans, smoked bamboo shoots and bacon, and saliva chicken are all my favorites.
