Everything we got from here was excellent! Fresh, great flavours. Excellent service.. we had take out and they made every effort to make our huge order quickly. Looks like there is a beautiful view from inside too!

Food is honestly the worst Chinese I’ve had in my life. Ordered lemon chicken, sweet sour pork, veggie chop suey, Singapore style noodle and eight spring rolls. Sweet sour pork had barely any sauce whatsoever and had tendons in some of the pieces. Lemon chicken lacked any seasoning at all. The Singaporean style noodles were good but was ruined by the pieces of leather in it (beef strips). Veggie chop suey was the same as any chop suey you would get any where so I guess that’s good. Best part of the meal was the fortune cookies. The absolute shocker was paying $125 before the tip. I understand that the cost of everything is going up, but expect standards to match the price.

NOT worth the money! We picked up chicken chow mien, chicken balls and 2 egg rolls, and it was over $40! The chow mien was almost entirely noodles, we struggled to find any chicken or veg in it at all. Chicken balls were 90% batter, and the egg rolls were the biggest disappointment; they were the small frozen ones you can buy in any grocery store, just deep fried.

Terrible communication. The Google maps said it was open but when I arrived at the restaurant, there was a note saying that they were closed for two weeks. Terrible communication

Ordered this last minute for Christmas dinner. It only took 20 minutes from when we called in for our food to be ready. We ordered the dinner for 3, which easily would have fed a fourth person. It was DELICIOUS! This will definitely be our new Chinese food go-to place.

Ordered dinner for 2 from an old online menu. Picked it up in 30 minutes as specified. I asked for a current takeout menu. They had none, no website that I could find either. The price was over 30% higher than old menu. We were however pleasantly surprised by the food. The Chow Mein was quite good, the Beef chop suey was very good. Sweet & Sour pork was tasty though not too lean. Eggrolls were good too. So overall we were torn. Food was good, but the restaurant needs to do a better job.

I walked in and was completely taken by surprise, this little unassuming restaurant had some of the best ginger beef Ive had in years. I split the combo C with my friend and found it filled us both. If I were a local I would most likely find myself returning often.

Very nice and authentic Cantonese food (despite the name Beijing Grand Restaurant ). Sweet and sour pork is crispy and tender. The fried rice is suitably dry, not soggy and clumpy, tho the BBQ pork in fried rice is a little bit too dry. The shrimps in Foo Young egg are fresh and bouncy, definitely not mushy frozen shrimps. All the dishes we ordered are nicely flavored and juicy. The restaurant owner is a very kind lady who can speak both Cantonese and English. Overall, as a Hongkonger, I am amazed by such quality of Cantonese food in Port Alberni.

Were there not this last weekend but the weekend before, ordered take out. To be honest I wasnt expecting much, and I can honestly say I was wrong and pleasantly surprised. The food was very tasty and everyone in my group had seconds! My only gripe is that the food took a little longer that what I was told, but its small potatoes in comparison for what we got. Will def go back whenever im in port alberni .

Wasnt bad. Delivery time was a little long for a week day but we still got our food within an hour and a half. Order was correct. Shrimp fried rice is really good! Sweet and sour pork was okay, sauce was good but the meat was a little fatty and Ive had better batter. Kinda pricy for 4 dishes (80$) but Im not displeased, Id eat there again.

The dinner was amazing!!! Great variety of food to choose from. Very authentic cuisine. We went as a group of about 24 people. The service was excellent + the food just kept coming, + coming. Since we were a large group, we had the whole upstairs. There is no elevator so, lots of stairs to climb. Everything was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this place for a nice evening out!

Its what youd expect from looking at the outside; a little run-down, but a decent-to-ok place. It was a total of 10 of us. We got a big oval table on the first floor; a little tight in the seating arrangements. Arrived mid-afternoon, so it wasnt that busy at all. The food was decent; the total price was reasonable. We had such a good time conversating and all, I forgot to take pictures! Or really examine the food. The waitress spoke about 85% english, but she got a A for effort, especially when my eccentric older mother-in-law was trying to order a vegetarian meal. Overall, ok for a decent sit-down or some kind of gathering.

Szechuan beef or better still ask for off menu for truly authentic Chinese food. For 8 years + this 2 person venue serves the most vibrantly delicious vegetables, seafood is tender and YUM. In all this time we have not been disappointed. Pick up only. NO delivery unless you pay a cab or service to pickup for you. The preparation and service far outweigh anything else that may not be to your liking. Although the outside is ramped I would not consider this venue to be accessible to those requiring wheelchair access.

Szechuan beef, garlic gai lan, Singapore noodle... yum. Its essential for us to not have msg and we hope this is the case when requested.

Do yourself a favor and stear clear of this restaurant. It is horrible. I would not, in all good conscience, even give this place one star but I cant post this review unless I do. My sister and I were there recently while visiting Port Alberni. The waitress/owner was preoccupied with her cell phone to the extent that she served the only other customer in the place while talking on it. My food (szechuan beef) was inedible. When I complained, waitress/owner claimed it was my fault for ordering it. Although she said she subtracted that meal from the bill, we discovered later that she hadnt. We had to pursue the issue through our credit card company. Amazing the Beijing Grand stays in business
