I re-visited ChongQing after more than 20 years. It seems to me that it is now serving a greater variety of food. Peking duck was the highlight of the evening. It was on promotion and only cost around $55 for a Peking duck in 2 ways. I would say it was very good for this price. The skin was crispy and not too greasy, and the stir fried duck meat with lettuce wrap was delicious. My second favorite was the spicy and sour soup. Though I was a little shocked when I saw button mushrooms in it (the authentic one didn't have), it tasted just like the one I used to have. Perhaps the chef is not particularly skillful in making Xiaolungbao. The wrapping was easy too thick. Other than that, I'm happy with the rest of the dishes.

Delicious Chinese restaurant near Metrotown mall! Such friendly and polite servers with the best dish recommendations. Our favourite dish was the beef and vegetable rice noodle in black bean sauce, so flavourful not too salty or oily. Lemon glaze sauce chicken was very good, meat was thin and tender. Honey garlic sliced pork was also a hit with their fried donut buns! We will be back!!

Peking duck tasted and looked like it was reheated, dried out meat not juicy at all. Steamed juicy bun were not juicy and had very thick skin and not very tasty. Skin so thick they did not have proper pleats. Service was excellent however. Restaurant was very cold and some employees were wearing heavy jackets so food got cold fast. They are relying on good reputation of commercial restaurant.

This restaurant has been around for years.. It is not a big restaurant with 5 booths, 1 large table and a banquet against the window with various 2 tops and 4 tops. Parking in front. They have an extensive lunch menu. The staff is efficient and friendly, for a Wednesday afternoon, the restaurant is 90% full with mix of clientele. Not all asians as I assumed. I ordered the Seafood Crispy Noodles including the Hot and Sour Soup. The food comes out fast, the soup is flavourful with the numbing spicy effect but the consistency is more like gravy, which is too thick to my liking. The Seafood Crunchy noodles indeed was very crunchy with 2 prawns, 2 pieces of small fried fish, 2 super chewy squid and a handful of eraser sized scallops and Bok Choy. The sauce over the noodles has the flavour but the seafood is bland, however again, the sauce, I suspect is made with an abundance of corn starch, so it’s super thick. At the end of the meal, you can literally see the sauce congealing into solid jelly. I do like the attentiveness of the staff, there were 3 servers always walking around, clearing and cleaning tables. They have their own napkins printed, and at the end of the meal, you get a fortune cookie, which reminds me of the old visit to their Broadway location when we used to eat there in the 80s. Most Chinese restaurants don’t offer fortune cookies anymore.

Went for a nice family dinner and the food was fantastic! The whole family loved it. Our server recommended we go with the two course Peking duck, and it was absolutely worth it! The stir fry filling in lettuce wraps was to die for. Peking duck skin was crispy and overall delicious. Chowmein was also amazing. Family also liked the General Taos chicken which was more western...but very tasty. Will come back again and again.

Perfect dine in restaurant during this time. Very well spaced, and menu can be viewed online or paper. Foods were served so quickly and fresh. It took about 10 minutes. The lemon chicken is so unique. It looks like chicken cutlet with sauce on the top. It was delicious and crispy. Egg fuyong was mildly flavored and soft. I expected it to be little crispy on the surface and gravy. But there was no option for sauce . I loved the portion of shrimp in the egg fuyong. Beef with black bean sauce was mediocre. The pieces of vegetable were too big. And flavor was not intense enough compare to the color of sauce. Overall, it was good dining experience. We will visit again for other cuisines as well :)

The name Chongqing Restaurant must have known that the food must be spicy. For those who like spicy food, it will suit their taste, but for those who are not into spicy food, even the mild spicy food will make them sweat profusely. Before ordering, you can ask the waiter if they can make non-spicy meals, but overall the taste of the dishes is good. It is best to book a table and arrive early on holidays. There are not many parking spaces. I highly recommend this restaurant in Chongqing. Restaurant. Parking: The free parking lot is right next to the restaurant but there are not many parking spaces. There are paid parking spaces on the street nearby, or you can find a free 2-hour parking space nearby.

Subpar food. I was excited to have some noodles here, but I was very disappointed. The chicken chow mein was very dry and bland. The portion was huge though, considering that it was 17.95. I got take out, and it would be nice if they didn t charge for bags (bag looked like it was gonna tear apart). Also, when I showed the worker my order receipt to pick up the food, he seemed confused. It would also help if there was tracking info for when the order is ready.

Very disappointed. Maybe the ownership has changed? The food esp the bone in dai Ching chicken was essentially a plate of oily bones. The soup was watery and prices have gone up 25-35%. The counter service person had the kind of haughty attitude of a restaurant not needing our business, so we won t be patronizing this place again. Too bad as they used to be much better.

I went to the Chongqing Surrey store at noon today, mainly for snacks. Has the taste of snacks changed? And the fried ones are all a bit black? Has the oil not been changed yet? Or should I fry it again? I am a regular customer who has been patronizing the restaurant since it opened. The more I eat, the more outrageous it becomes! Moreover, almost all the service staff have been replaced by new ones, and the service level needs to be improved! After eating today, I had an unforgettable experience!

4th time...expected better, disappointed. Same dishes 1st time uber eats with incentive. Food was hot, tasted fresh, good portions. 2nd time in restaurant order pick up. Staff were nice, waited about 15 minutes, np. Food still hot when I got home 20 min away, portion smaller, squid not as crispy but good flavour, vermicelli not as many shrimp/pork/veg. 3rd, uber again, Food warm, squid ok, vermicelli a little mushy, less flavour just thrown together, no condiments. Last time, pick up in 20, there in 20, got 2 blocks away tried squid, warm. Got home, whole container was barely warm, smaller portion again, tasted fresh but bland and just jalapeños. Vermicelli barely warm, 3 pieces of pepper, some carrot shreds few shrimp and less pork. Just a container of yellow, mushy bland noodles. To far away to return, not worth $, time, effort. Lost customer.

Very good food, but contactless delivery instructions were very clear to leave at the door, as I was working and they continuously tried to call me on a random unknown number when I was already on a work call. Next time I would suggest if your call is denied 10 times maybe send a text or picture and just leave it at the door, As per my instructions stated! If I do go here again I will dine in, not deliver. This is why I don t like selecting the tip option before I even get the experience

I have been going to a ChonqQuing location either in Vancouver or Burnaby for 25 years. Today I ordered the the ginger beef for lunch - it was the worst in all 25 years. It was like eating crispy pieces of leather - just horrible. I have had the dish many time and it is usually good. Not today! I notice there many pieces of crispy something, but not meat. Sadly I notice they arent as busy as the used to be - the kitchen maybe the reason

The friendly staff smiled when I entered the restaurant and seated my family very fast and away from the front door. The temperature of the restaurant was perfect. The servers, Jennifer and Rita were very kind and a joy to talk to. They both understood that we were a family of vegetarians and went above and beyond to ask the chef if the vegetarian dishes are cooked separately from meat and seafood dishes. Order came very fast. Food was hot and tasted fresh from the kitchen. Highly recommended restaurant, a favourite and I am sure my family and I will come again soon.

Im not a connoisseur of asian cuisine by any means so I cant speak to authenticity BUT what they serve is exactly how we like our Chinese food. So much flavour and heat in the spicy dishes. We usually order take-out because we live 25 minutes away but the food is still hot and crispy when we get home. Their Ginger Beef has never disappointed us and I always look forward to a helping of their Sweet n Sour Pork. There are about 6 chinese restaurants closer to us but we will happily travel here each and every time

We always go to this location because the Manager is always extremely attentive and knows that I always order a Large Beer for my lunch. However, this Sunday we went there for a celebration and the food was excellent and the service was ok, the Manager was not there; however, the lady who was woking was having her lunch with another lady and there was a little girl seating at the table. The man who was serving us was taking care of the restaurant while she was eating however as soon as one of the owners walked in, she immediately stood up and got top work on the floor. The horrible and most disgusting part was that she had food stocked on her teeth and she kept putting her fingers in her mouth over and over again. She did not washed her hands and she was packing some order to go and was waiting for a lady to get the rice ready so she can serve the rice with her unwashed hands. Yet she kept trying to get food out of her teeth for easily 25 minutes, we were sick to our stomach. Someone should instruct this people of the health issues that represents and how important it is to be professional in a restaurant.

As a craft beer enthusiast, I love exploring new breweries and trying out their unique offerings. So when I visited Chongqing restaurant on Kingsway and saw that they had Taylight beers on their menu, I knew I had to order one. As soon as the server brought me my Taylight Golden Ale, I could tell that this was no ordinary beer. The aroma was inviting, with subtle hints of caramel and citrus. And the taste was even better - medium bodied, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, combining the caramel notes of the malt with earthy and citrus notes of the hops. As I enjoyed my beer with my meal, I couldnt help but appreciate the quality and craftsmanship that went into creating it. I could taste the care and attention to detail in every sip, from the selection of malt and hops to the brewing process itself. In short, my experience with Taylight at the restaurant was everything I love about craft beer - quality ingredients, innovative brewing techniques, and a beer that enhances the flavors of the food I was eating. I will definitely be seeking out more of Taylights offerings, including their Golden Ale with its delicious combination of caramel, earthy, and citrus notes, both at the brewery and at my favorite restaurants.

I called to place an order for their hot and sour soup. It comes with chicken and shrimp, but I told them I want chicken only because my wife has a severe shellfish allergy. The guy on the phone tells me they dont have shellfish. When I told him that shrimp is shellfish all he said was OH. I was shocked since shrimp is considered to be a shellfish. For anyone that has a shellfish allergy be aware of this place because they clearly they dont have an idea of what is considered to be shellfish.

My friend and I ordered soup and the server even brought us small bowls and poured it in for us right at the table without us even asking. I asked for a lot of chilli oil and the server came through by giving me way more than I expected which made us both laugh. I felt like I was being needy but they really made me feel at ease. The server even came over with napkins without me asking. Even when paying, the manager asked me if he could get me more tea or water. So attentive I feel like they re reading my mind. 10/10 I left feeling so happy with the service

I recently dined at Chongquing. As usual, no complaints. My order was perfect and arrived timely. The food was hot, tasty and nicely presented. I normally do a takeout and I must say that I dont have complaints about my takeout orders as well. The food is consistently good and tasty. I always order the green beans, perfectly cooked and not overdone, dai ching chicken which is always perfect and noodles. The ginger beef also is highly recommended. Chongquing has always been my go to restaurant for Szechuan cuisine and so far no complaints. My server Lisa is always so attentive and anticipated every need. I love their tea and my cup was always full. Lisa and Jacob have taken my takeout order on the phone and they are both so polite and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I went here yesterday, and from the looks of it looks like one of those cafes set ups. And there were a lot of old men and women coming to the restaurant and the occassional young teenagers coming to eat. So I sat in one of those chairs and wrote down the order that I wanted to eat. Which was Deep Fried Squid with Salt, Seafood Chow Mein, and House Special Fried Rice. The wait wasnt long for it as the waiter took orders from me and others all at the same time, which was fine. Customer service in this location is top knotch, really attentive never had I have empty tea or water at all! The food is really good probably better than the location that I still eat from. Would highly recommend this restaurant! I cant help but say the food is amazing!

I will change my rating in the near future as I am a regular customer and think the food is mostly consistent and a good meal. I would stay away from the beef with broccoli which is unfortunate as its a staple in most places. It should be called, broccoli with Beef. Very noticeable that there was way more broccoli then beef, when spending $20 for not many beef peices. That rubs me the wrong way. Thanks

Had been to two locations and I like this location better. Food is phenomenal, as always.

I would Normally give this is restaurant 5 stars.. it s my favourite place for good quality great tasting food. I ve ordered this item numerous times in the past and it was very good This time the fried eggplant was inedible!! It looked great, but I think they poured a quarter cup of chili oil over the top absolutely ruining it.

The service is v friendly indeed since I ve been here a lot of times sitting in & getting takeout !!! I must mention that LIZA is a v experienced server ; she really cares for all the customers carrying a warm smile all the time despite the fact that she has to work here 10 hrs a day !!! She is such a jolly warm hearted person who deserves to be promoted !!! It will be beneficial for the restaurant to have more than 2 chiefs at least to be able to have the service efficiently done !!! Your loyal customer YY Vegetarian options: They R flexible for customers who wants to change their options !!!

Went there and my order was a little overpriced, the people were not friendly and it looked and tasted like they thought oh a white guy lets just give him left overs as the rice and meat tasted old and like it had been sitting for a long time. If you like Szechauan go somewhere else.

Best schezuan ever! Prices have gone up compared to when it used to be. For example the Dai ching chicken is now $20!!! So it is quite easy to over spend on dishes here. The green beans is really good too. Nonetheless the food is ao good its a great treat.

First time and very disappointed...the food has no flavor...I ordered Mongolian beef it was unflavored and very oily.My thong got numb for all the spices, you are unable to taste the rest of the food, even the spring rolls no tasty at all...the only good thing was the fried rice and the chaumin but if Im going to pay 20 dollars per plate , I prefer to go to the food court , it is cheaper and tastes better. I appreciated the good service of the server staff:)

Our lunch was really 5 Stars! Friendly greeting, directed to seating, then menus arrived. Noodle Soup w/mixed meat + Seafood was his. Deluxe Tan Tan Noodle w/minced pork sauce was mine. His looked delish + he looked like he was enjoying it nonstop. lol. Mine looked delish too..no words were spoken..only mmms. Noodles were absolutely delicious..I think we inhaled them! lol $25 + tip for two. So happy to visit again + recommend these 2 dishes.

I had recently ordered from this restaurant thought I would try it out it said it had good reviews so I figured the food would probably be good well I just want to tell everybody it was the worst place I had ordered Chinese food from there was one dish that I ordered that was disgusting it was sweet-and-sour pork the meat tasted like it was sitting out for a long time and it had a really really bad smell I also had some fried rice the rice tasted sour like it was spoiled the food all together just did not smell good or look good I ended up getting really sick from it and threw it away it s probably the worst place to get Chinese food from please everybody be aware don t waste your money at this place I really don t know why they re in business but I think the health food services should have them checked out anyways thank you for reading this review I hope it helps you

My family and I have been frequenting Chong Qing for over 20 years, we ve loved it. However, the past few visits at the Kingsway location has been fairly disappointing. Specifically the Di Ching Chicken, and Di ching green beans. The cooks seem to have changed, or disregarded the amazing original recipe s! :( - please review!

I ordered Seafood Chow Mein, and there must have been enough salt (maybe 1/4 cup of salt) in the dish to kill a horse. It was just terrible. I had to toss it away. Im pretty fair about my posts, but the blatant poor quality of their food is beyond belief.

I wouls give zero stars if I could.Ordered the spicy deep fried prawns yesterday on Uber eats. Without a doubt the most disgusting thing Ive ever ordered, in my life The coating was oil soaked and soggy with a dry withered partial prawn inside. The prawn should be whole. Couldnt even finish one threw it out. Gross!

Ordered through Uber eats, it was probably the worst western Chinese food I have ever tasted. Half Peking duck was just six duck skin pieces unevenly teared. Ginger beef and deep fried ribs were dry and hard; the texture reminds me of dog chewing treats.All the dishes were oily. The menu price is on the cheaper side but I rather pay more to have some decent taste. AVOID...

We started going/ordering from ChongQing in 2017, the food was great and we never thought on going to any other of their locations. However, to us, the quality of the food has changed significantly, some of the items like the deep fried spicy squid was super oily and the sweet and sour spare ribs had more bone than meat on it. Even the take out packaging has changed, it used to be in boxes with the items very well organized. The last time we order, the food came in plastic bags and plastic containers. It seems that the management of this business has been changed.

Exactly what I wanted. Western style Chinese food. Everything was saucy, delicious and greasy as expected. The honey garlic ribs were really good. If youre looking for an authentic Chinese food, this may not be it. But we will absolutely be back whenever were craving for that quick comfort and familiar Chinese food.

Its not really Chongqing food but more of a pan-Chinese restaurant. Nevertheless, the food was surprisingly flavourful and as someone from southern China, I enjoyed the taste. The servers were quite pleasant too!

December 21, 2022

Ordered online and for my three dishes it took more than 45 minutes. I got to the store and waited at least 20 minutes for my order to be ready. It took too long as it said it would be ready in 30. Food was super oily. I also ordered chicken and definitely got pork instead of chicken. While waiting also saw a waiter come to help. He entered the restaurant took off his jacket and bag, grabbed his apron and started helping. He didn t even wash his hands before helping . Helping includes serving food and tea to those dining in. Not impressed with this location.

Great restaurant. Amazing food and good service. It s a small and intimate location compared to some of their other locations.

Tried this restaurant for the first time. Reviews are mixed so I thought Id try their popular dishes. Mongolian Beef, Lemon Chicken, Chicken Fry Rice and Mixed Vegetables Stir Fry. The Mongolian beef was pleasant surprise. Tasted great and good heat. Spice wasnt over powering. Fry rice and vegetables stir fry was good but take out containers was a bit on the small side for the price you pay. Lemon Chicken was moist and flavourful, wished there was a bit more crunch but happy with the food nonetheless.

Quite similar taste to the location in Delta,but have to say was a bit on the sweeter side for me.would have preferred the chilli fish to be spicier. Tofu as always a favorite.
