My-go-to Chinese food take out! I had wor wonton soup, and reheated my leftovers for lunch and added Chinese egg noodles and spring onions😋🍲

It's take out only currently. Everything is in warming trays that you can see when you enter and because it's so busy, the food is always fresh because it's constantly being replenished. One takeout container gives me 2+ meals for under $20. Very generous servings. And the won ton soup is easily the best I've ever had. The broth is so rich that you don't need to add anything to flavor it. I highly reccomend the BBQ pork, won ton soup szeschuan beef

Great value, tasty food. We like to pick it up on the fly. Almost never have to wait! Love the pork in black bean sauce!

After litterally craving your food for 3 months I finally gave in and decided to get myself some. My 3 year old was mad and said he doesn't like Chinese food.... Up until we went to leave. He said 'yum!! I chat WAIT to eat this!' got to the car and we had it finished in minutes. Now, he only likes yours... Just like me. Sorry, no pics of food.... We inhaled it far too fast.

November 2024 Still take out ONLY August 2024 Still take out ONLY! July 2024 Still take out ONLY! March 2024 Still take out ONLY! October 2023 This is still a take out ONLY food service NO MATTER WHAT GOOGLE SAYS! You cannot DINE IN! I tried to correct the information multiple times but Google in their wisdom thinks otherwise, but hey what do I know - I only live here versus some geek who's punching keys on their keyboard from 6000 kms away.

The owner was wearing a mask and coughing continually directly over the food trays as she was serving food. I was in line and ended up walking out. Absolutely disgusting. A mask doesn t give you an excuse to just cough all over everything.

This food appears to look delicious, I paid 30 dollars for three types of food, beef ,chicken and pork, all the meat was stringy, or mostly fat, the batter was mushy and glue like, This is the worst food I have experienced in many years, very shocked, Never will I order from this place again

Good prices, generous portions, and great service, but I m sorry guys, the food wasn t great.. The chicken and beef were cut so small there was more breading than chicken, I couldn t tell the ginger beef and Sichuan chicken apart, even by taste. Everything seems to be seasoned super lightly, or not at all. I think the meat dishes would be great if the pieces of meat were cut larger, even if it meant a decrease in portion size - quality over quantity. And the food as a whole would be fantastic if seasoned more, with more flavourful sauces, etc.

I got the #sesamechicken and #schezuanbeef and my husband got the #chickenballs and #schezuanchicken and sweet and sour pork. They took out order and made it fresh so we didnt have to eat the food that had been sitting out. How sweet, right? It was delicious with we got home! We also got #chowmein which is always great! They are polite. I strongly suggest trying this place!

This is not an upscale or trendy place by any stretch, and the menu is pretty conventional. There isnt even table service.

If you want fresh tasting Chinese food made with quality ingredients by an amazingly hard working family, then this is the place for you. The sauces accentuate the ingredients, not the other way around. Once you get to know your personal spice level, you can dial in the heat. One of the gems of the Alberni Valley.

Matthew Dixon is a fool, Wait You isnt a restaurant theyre an institution, and they humbly put every other pace in town to shame, quality foods? He probably prefers McDonalds to J&L, or Budweiser to Lucky. This guy mustve ordered from the Golden Dragon thinking it was wait you. Wait you has an amazing selection and the best prices on any Chinese food in town. I was born and raised here, and I will say with nothing less then pure honesty and conviction that if you want high quality food with next to no wait that they are the best and always will be.
