First time here but not the last time! Even tho this place doesn't look very modern, the food is great!!🤩 As a vegetarian it’s not easy to find a place with tasty veggie options. I was amazed, how chef handled my Tofu Chop Suey, it was incredibly tasty and veggie done just right!!👏 My company’s chicken Chao Main with sweet&sour pork was great too. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with Chinese cuisine, the staff is very helpful, explains everything and they’re super patient lol. Huge portions!!! Loads of veggie. Forgot to take pics as I came hangry 😅 Definitely give this place a chance, you’re gonna be pleasantly surprised!

Super cute little place. While inside, many people came in and said it was the best Chinese. Got combo #3. My husband and I shared it, and it was a perfect sized meal for the both of us for dinner.

One of the worst Chinese restaurants I been to. Fried rice was bland. Honey garlic chicken was dry. I highly don’t recommend this restaurant.

No exaggeration, the BEST Chinese food I have ever had. The food came out super quick, absolutely no chance of missing your ferry because of food delays. The almond chicken is a must, I love it so much. Everything else- also yum The portions were generous, I shared a meal for one with my bald father and it was more than enough for the two of us. However, I hope in the future that you are blessed with fortune cookies from this divine establishment, as we unfortunately did not receive any. Overall I’d rate it a yum yum yum in my tum. (That means it was good)

Came here while waiting for our ferry. Ordered the broccoli with garlic sauce, ginger beef, dry chicken with spicy salt, and a small bowl of rice. Was quiet when we came and the server was helpful and relaxed. The food was great. Every dish met our expectations. The texture of the beef was not as crisp as other places. Loved the broccoli. The chicken was tasty and good for kids, as long as they can handle some spice. We like to come here when we get the chance. Thinking of trying this place? We recommend it. It’s a reliably good experience (taste, service, quality). Hope all goes well.

We happened upon this restaurant while coming back from Whistler and it was a nice surprise. Cook and service person were all Chinese, so we knew we were getting the authentic food. The interior was very basic with plastic table cloth on tables. The menu was quite extensive and there were lunch options available. The most memorable item we ate was the shrimp fried rice which very much had a wok taste and was the best that we had on our trip. The lemon chicken and the corn soup were just average. Service was quick and food came out piping hot. There is available parking right outside the restaurant.

I had lunch there on July 23, 2023. Service from the owners was really great. The Chicken with black bean sauce was delicious. The portion was large and the price on the sweet side at $15 / CAD. I ate outside as the day was warm and sunny. The plate with plenty of vegetables, mushrooms and chicken looked so good that several people asked me what that was and share the same thoughts: really appetizing :) Some guests had a combo and the portions were really large! Based on my experience I can certainly warmly recommend.

Great spot really good food and friendly staff

October 23, 2024

Never go there. Its salty and tasteless. And since I was a foreigner, I thought I didnt know much, so I didnt even select a tip, but I clicked Direct and charged it. When I looked at my card statement later, I saw that the payment was much more than the cost of the food. Looking at other reviews, it seems like this happens often, but I hope it becomes a conscientious store that doesnt ignore its customers. It reflects in many ways.

I came back from Whistler today and stopped by for dinner. The interior of the restaurant is simple and clean. I also took a special look at the kitchen, which was also very clean. In addition, the service attitude of this restaurant is very good, and the portions of the dishes are generous, which matches the price. The ingredients in every dish are very fresh, quite tasty but not salty, and the taste is just right! Although we didnt order barbecued pork a la carte, we had barbecued pork from Yangzhou fried rice, and the color and taste were authentic. The dishes in this restaurant are very suitable for those who control sugar. I like them very much and highly recommend them!

The chicken in black bean sauce on noodles was delicious and contained a good variety of vegetables! My partner had the chicken chowmein, fried rice and sweet&sour lunch combo. You can tell its a family owned & operated business that cares about quality and customer satisfaction. Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetable dishes and options with tofu Parking: 2 hr limit for street parking. Plenty of lots in the area.

The food was great but the lady staff was not. There was no tax however the lady tipped herself more than 15%, even without asking us. There was no board that says anything about this tipping culture. If tipped myself, I would have felt a lot better. Also, felt like the lady rushed us out after we completed our lunch.. Looks like the restaurant was a low-key family owned. Also, This is pricy restaurant but google does not show $$ sign. The price might be for the pricy location but google dint tell us.

The food is great. We are a group of five persons. We have ordered special fried rice , beef with black bean sauce on rice noodle , Singapore style vermicelli , small size hot and sour soup . The portion is large. Most important the food could deliver the original Chinese taste and spirit of Chinese wok . The price is reasonable, in fact , cheaper than our expectation and other foods of same place. We fully recommend this restaurant!

December 23, 2023

Ordered take out. Food was definitely not fresh. I had to feed my kids in a hurry and had ordered three items and the only one that was made fresh, the deep fried tofu. The other dishes were stale and not made to order. It was completely bland and was not appetizing.

A shabby little Western Canadian style Chinese food joint. Ive been looking for one for quite some time. Food was edible. Breaded chicken a little overdone. Pay extra for lemon sauce; and the beef + broccoli too much MSG. Hokey pokey green metal furniture with checkered plastic table cloths. Friendly service-and the chicken chowmein was average but not horrible. Anyway - I got my fix. Ill be good now for a few years.lol

Ordered a combo. Fried rice was passable but bland, shrimp and pork were stale, dry, bland, covered in a thick batter and deep fried. Would not go to again. I cannot understand the 5 stars reviews. The owners have obviously stopped cared about making anything resembling fresh and decent.

We chose this as a meeting place to exchange Christmas Gifts last night, our friend came from Abbotsford and we came from Squamish and decided this would be a decent place to meet. Boy are we glad we chose this one! The food was extremely delicious especially the chow mein and chop suey! 10/10 recommend those dishes. To keep it simple we ordered the dinner for 3, but we did add one extra dish to ensure we were well fed. The portions were big so we had a lot of left overs, the extra dish was probably not necessary but no regrets. The lovely lady serving us (I assume the owner) was very attentive and friendly, made us feel like we were having a family dinner at home. Weve decided we are gonna make this an annual tradition (but we will probably be back sooner). Thanks for the delicious meal and the new memories.

Awful experience! We had ordered sesame chicken which is a fairly staple dish. It looked delicious but was very chewy and stale as if it was old, just heated and added sauces. when we told the lady in front, she said its impossible and this is how its supposed to taste. I love chinese food and have had amazing sesame chicken in past. I absolutely do not recommend this place.

December 23, 2022

Horrible experience. We humbly asked to replace our dish as it tasted stale. The chicken was so chewy, I wonder if they cook fresh. I do-not recommend. The lady was rude and said its impossible and that she can t do anything. And no takeout discounts at all.

December 23, 2022

Hope you find this review, please don t try food at this location. The staff is rude and wouldn t accommodate any requests even after being told the food tastes stale. Food will be served hot (basically reheating stale food) so chewy my head started hurting after a few bites.

August 7 th. No need to ever go back. Very disappointed. No meat in the chicken chow mein or pork fried rice. Hot and sour soup is the worse I have ever had. And they haven t even updated there website since the previous owners so prices are different and they don t honour the 10% discount when you pick it up. Very very disappointed.

I ordered chicken fried rice, beef fried rice, Xingzhou fried rice, and seafood fried noodles. The portions were generous and the taste was decent. Due to the epidemic, we could not eat in but could only take away. The takeout affected the taste somewhat, so we did not order stir-fry dishes. But the taste is okay, not like some restaurants that are too Cantonese-style and I don t like it. The owner is also Cantonese.

We LOVE this place!!! The food is superb. It has been under new owners for the past year and it is a *big* improvement. We live on Bowen Island but anytime we have extra time before catching a ferry we always try to dine-in or get take-out (or both!). The staff is very nice and the food is consistently good. We love the ginger beef, fried rices, szechuan beans, and much more. It is a favourite. I hope the owners stay there forever because it is the best!

AMAZING Chinese food. Despite a lackluster external facade, the food is fast, hot and great value. We had a tofu hot pot, beef noodle soup and chicken egg drop soup. The noodles were arguably the best weve had in a while. To top it all off, the service was nothing short of excellent. We were warmly greeted and hosted with attentiveness during our visit with 2 young kids despite a restuarant full of other hungry clients. Oh yes, the waitress also didnt try to upsell us on any items. (I had asked for a large serving of rice and she recommended that the small would suffice, and more than enough it did.) The honesty received by the host and quality food received will definitely have us coming back.
