Your Personal Kitchen Nearby. We only serve the most authentic Chinese cuisine.
This is a clean Shanghai style Chinese restaurant. The staff don't speak much English but they have an online ordering system that makes it easy. They feature Mala tongue numbing pepper which is an acquired but addictive taste. The kung pao chicken was very good as well as the wide flat noodles with cumin beef.
I had an amazing dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish prepared to perfection, full of rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. They provided great recommendations and were always quick to check on us without being intrusive. Overall, it was a wonderful meal in every way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!
Appetizers we ordered potato (土豆丝), glutinous rice sticks with brown sugar (红糖糍粑)and a variety of pork meats. I highly suggest the glutinous rice sticks, for either apps or desserts. For mains we ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and the cabbage pork noodle soup, highly suggest the first one. They do noodle refills too, great on a cold day.
It offers exceptional noodle dishes with rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The toppings are fresh and flavorful, and the service is friendly. A top choice for a satisfying and delicious meal. Highly recommended!
I came with my boyfriend and was really surprised by just how good the food were. The noodles were very authentic and the selection range was wonderful. It’s nice to have authentic Chinese food here in west van. We will definitely be visiting here more often!
We’ve been frequent diners here since the restaurant opened, and each visit has been a delightful surprise. However, today’s Sichuan Peppercorn Spicy Fish truly amazed us. The dish captured the authentic Sichuan flavors perfectly. Everything—from the taste, the freshness of the fish, to the texture—was absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend it. If there were a 6-star option, even 5 stars wouldn’t do it justice!
This is a very authentic Sichuan restaurant. It's so authentic, mildly spicy is hot for Canadian standards. They have an excellent signature private soup beef noodles. The noodles are properly cooked and chewy. Lots of tasty beef, vegetables. Just quite spicy so a bought a coke and asked for ice to handle it. Nice burn with mala pepper. Highly recommended l.
I recently took my youngest to visit Bowltiful, a local Chinese restaurant. It’s a cozy spot that’s full of delightful surprises. From the moment we walked in, the simple yet elegant decor caught my eye. The clean and bright environment left a strong impression on me. The staff’s warm and enthusiastic service added a touch of friendliness and comfort to our overall dining experience.
I had a good experience at Bowltiful The food was tasty, with fresh ingredients and great flavors. I asked the chef to swap the pork for chicken, and they were happy to accommodate, which was nice. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable, without being overbearing. Overall, a solid spot for good Chinese food. Definitely worth checking out if you re craving something tasty.
Amazing service, been here for a long time and food is also amazing. Feels like home
The food was tasty. Went with the kungpao chicken with the gf which was very good but waited a long time to get the food, I saw 3-4 tables get their food (all noodle dishes) before we got our rice dish which wasn t complicated. For 23$ I was hoping for more chicken and quantity, came with a lot of rice though.
We had the numbing fish hot pot, cucumber salad and rice cakes (free for giving 5 star review). Everything was honestly very good and service was kind with all our questions! The numbing hot pot was not too spicy for us (but we did ask for mild), although I found it a bit salty and definitely needed rice. I really liked the tofu inside. Cucumber salad is classic of course and the deep fried rice cakes were a yummy dessert. I want to come back and try the other flavors now! Ah if I had one comment, the music was very...emo rock from the 90s haha it felt very out of place.
Dishes are good, but the old lady works there always have bad temper and looks mad. I m not gonna go there anymore because of her.
A must-visit place every week, highly recommended. The service is very good, and it feels like going home.
good Chinese food restaurant in West Van
I ordered three bowls of noodles. After waiting for forty minutes, the other two people were full and the other bowl had not yet been cooked. I even asked for it once (it was useless even if I asked). The waiters and chefs in the store obviously cant handle the weekend. workload
Had the private beef noodle soup. The noodle were chewy and the soup was rich in flavor. Wish thered be more meat and vegetables for the price but overall a scrumptious bowl to get by in this freezing winter. Food : 4/5
The dry stir-fried noodles taste particularly good and the sauce is rich.
All foods are awesome and the atmosphere of this brand-new restaurant is so pleasant to get together for dining. Definitely strong recommended if you would visit West Vancouver!!
A pot of dried kelp shreds! So cool.
We ordered take-out from here when they had just opened and the dish recommendations truly blew me away. The flavours and spice are incredible. I think the word authentic is often overused, and I hesitate to use it here because I have never been to Sichuan province, but I can assure you that I have never tasted better Sichuan cuisine in North America. Each dish is completely unique to anything I have ever tasted. I am writing this review after dining in for the first time and the restaurant staff were excellent as well.
Came here almost three times a week...the taste is great... the taste of home!
Tastes very good, recommended
Tomato fish pot and rattan pepper fish fillet pot are also so delicious! ! Invincible meal preparation!
Very delicious lamb offal noodles. Tastes very clean!
I didn t expect West Vancouver to have such authentic Sichuan cuisine!
Very delicious. New place in West Vancouver! !
The noodle here is amazing! Service and dining environment are five star. Will come back for sure!
I visited this restaurant with my wife. We are very satisfied with their food and service. Nice and clean environment. We will definitely come back soon!
Excellent food. Very authentic. A little far, but well worth it. Food
It was spicy but very delicious!
This is the third time weve been to Bowtiful. The Sichuan food is authentic and outstanding! Although many of the dishes are spicy (very typical of Sichuan cuisine), you can ask for them to adjust the spice levels (but be aware that the spiciness scale is also quite authentic so medium would be extra spicy in many other restaurants). But there are also a number of delicious dishes that have zero spiciness for those who prefer to avoid the spicy sweats! Make sure you leave room for the brown sugar glutinous rice cake its fried mochi! Highly recommended!
Good noodle place in west van
This is the best Chinese restaurant in North America. The food is clean, the Chinese spices are not overpowering and the overall balance is good! A must go if you go to Vancouver!
Its delicious, the beef noodles are very flavorful The spicy fish pot is quite spicy, friends who like spicy food can order it (its peppery and spicy enough) and the environment is not pungent! a treasure shop
Hanzhong people eat here, the food is delicious and the environment is good
Service and food are top notch
Friendly service from a legit spicy noodle house that will leave your face numb. They will helpfully take it down to your liking too if that is how you prefer it. Hot is not Canadian hot. It s Asian hot!
It really makes me cry that there is such a delicious restaurant in West Vancouver.
For a signature beef noodle like this, it s definitely overpriced. Taste is alright, but not superb. Portion is normal. $21.99 and after tax and tips it s like $27. Service is slow as there is only one wait staff. Don t think I will go back
We have been here so many times. The service is always top notch and food is amazing. My family loves it! Definitely recommend it and will come often!
Free extra noodles, great service, nice atmosphere, and huge portions. This place has it all! Was looking for a good noodle place on the North Shore and I think I found it. Will be coming back!
I ordered cumin beef fried noodle, it looks and tastes great, authentic Chinese flavour.
Delicious
Authentic noodles.
Canon, beyond expectations.
Authentic food, great service - super friendly. Would recommend!
Best wontons I ve ever had
The beef noodles I came here for the first time were delicious. This time I was pleasantly surprised to find that the menu has been updated and enriched. I had the smooth, delicious and spicy Lao Tan pickled fish, which is another bonus for Western Wenzhou cuisine..., like it
Nice food!
I happened to be in West Vancouver for work today. This Taiwanese restaurant on the beach is good. I recommend everyone to try it.
One of my Fav to go place lately! Love the noodle dishes and great service!
We loved Bowltiful and this is one of our favorite go to places right now. The service here is exceptional and have made every visit enjoyable. A must-try dish is their tomato fish pot an incredibly flavorful and comforting dish with tender fish simmered in a rich, tangy tomato broth. Additionally, their cold side dishes were a refreshing complement to the main courses. Overall a very delightful experience!
Very authentic flavors from Sichuan regional menu
Finally found a delicious noodle restaurant in West Vancouver, a Chinese food desert.
Great authentic chinese noodles. Amazing and friendly staff!
Wow. I have lived on the north shore for over 10 years and have seen tremendous changes in the food scene. I cant contain my excitement at finding a real szechuan restaurant in West Vancouver! I tried the Tengjiao spicy and numbing fish hot pot (individual, medium-spicy), refreshing cucumber (not spicy at all), and fuqi feipan (tripe with cucumber, some spice). Everything was delicious! The fish hot pot was spicy, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the taste was delicious. In the interest of disclosure, I do love spicy food, and unusual cuts of meat. If youre not a fan of spice, you can ask for non-spicy suggestions. This is the real deal! I will be back!
Authentic Chinese food with the most pleasant dining experiences and services
Awesome food, really nice place, great location
Everything great!
Wow this new Chinese restaurant is a big gift to me. Already pinned as a favorite!
Delicious, clean and hygienic A new choice for warming Chinese stomachs in Northwest China! !
Quick service, very clean, and the food was delicious. Loved the Dan Dan noodles. Note: they take their spicy serious. Consider going down a notch and adding spicy sauce if you want it.
Amazing Ethan style noodles, numbly but not overly spicy. Will come back again !!
Some of the best noodles we ve ever eaten! Very welcoming atmosphere. This is our new favorite restaurant.
Recommend the peppercorn fat beef pot. A rare place to find food in West Vancouver.
The pasta is good. Come again next time
Delicious!
Had a fantastic meal at this restaurant! The food is authentic and absolutely delicious, with each dish full of flavor. The service was amazing friendly and attentive. The beautiful environment added to the experience. Highly recommend! Dining at this restaurant is great! The food is authentic and delicious, every dish is full of flavour. The service is also great, friendly and attentive. Beautiful environment, highly recommended!
Very authentic Chinese noodles and reasonable price. Gives a more than enough amount of noddles. The kitchen looks very clean and the server even wears gloves.
Really good place
The restaurant is clean and the environment is comfortable. The noodles are very fragrant. I recommend the couple s beef slices which are very delicious. The spicy ones are particularly authentic. All on CD
The best beef ramen
The most delicious beef noodles with bamboo shoots! There is also red oil chaos, which is also good
The service was great, foods are delicious. We will come back
Ate for 4 days in a row! So delicious! On the first day I went there, the hot and sour noodles were gone. I heard from the boss that they were waiting for them to be shipped from China. It sounded very authentic. It uses the kind of yellow coarse noodles. It is the best sour noodles I have ever eaten in Metro Vancouver. Chili powder. Then there is the spicy stir-fried signature rice noodles that must be ordered every time. It is spicy enough and can be added with sesame, shredded vegetables and pork, and comes with special sauce. The jelly is also delicious and the supply is limited! I think it tastes better than Banbuxian s Chongqing noodles, signature beef noodles, fried rice, sour soup and fat beef rice noodles... Anyway, go for it boldly! There are so many delicious things in the store, I haven t eaten a single one yet
The tomato & beef noodles I had was not traditional chinese one, which the soup should be a beef broth that stewed for hours! The soup seems made with western tomato source, and is very sweet(traditional one is savory)! What is more wired, there are hot pot beef slices and raw tomato slices in it! NEVER saw that in China! And the nooldes are not hand made in the house!
Delicious food, excellent service, and great atmosphere
This is my first time trying this place. Ordered beef noodle and fuqi feipian, best combination for a noodle eater, it was very tasty. I ordered spicy, so if you can not handle spicy, let them know. Otherwise, you will be sweating. Strong recommended.
So good! Love the spicy!
The food comes with rich aroma, every spoon contains a delicate taste. Accompanied with the peaceful atmosphere, the dining experience is truly perfect.
Look no further if you are looking for authentic Sichuan cuisine jn West Vancouver or Lower Mainland. This is my second time here, all dishes we tried so far are delicious. In particular the new Tengjiao Spicy and Numbing Fish dish. A must-try restaurant in the area!
The dandan noodles are great and the service is excellent.
Highly recommend their pasta! Very authentic! I check in every time I pass by!
I go for a bowl of noodles every time I pass by! Taste of hometown! Very delicious!
I came here to just check it out, honestly it was above my expectations, the staff was friendly and the food was really yummy :) Would come back to eat here again
went here with some friends and had a pleasant surprise with the tastiness of the food, although a tad bit pricy the happy hour deal of 15% off during 3-5pm helped save some money. The service was outstandng and the atmosphere was really cozy. I recommend getting one of the many noodle dishes as I really enjoyed the Signature Spicy Beef Noodles last time i was here.
The stir-fry is great, the pickled fish pot is very authentic, authentic Sichuan flavor. Worth going again.
we ordered Dan Dan noodle and one of the spicy fish pot. The flavor was very authentic. Custom service was also great. The place was clean and beautifully decorated. I hope this stays this way. Only downside was it s on the pricy side.
The foods here are awesome, the price is not that high too, I love it definitely 5stars!
The food tastes awsone and the price is not that expensive, also the environment is quiet and neat
I was HEAVILY disappointed with this place. They do portion scams with delivery apps as the meal I received when I ordered online via uber had SIGNIFICANTLY less meat than when I ordered the same meal in person a while back. Im talking about meat thats maybe the portion of two erasers lined up next to each other. The noodles are also very dry and bland; way too overpriced for the quality they offer. I was expecting something good since a lot of family members recommended this place, but I would not go back again, whether itd be ordering delivery or going in person.
Consistently great meals and thoughtful service. The authentic dishes are served perfectly. This place has become my family s goto place on the North Shore. Easy to find parking , tasty meals at reasonable prices.
I really like the dandan noodles, they are delicious and I will come again.
The rattan pepper spicy fish pot is very enjoyable to eat, highly recommended!
The beef is large and plump and the portion is affordable. Delicious. Will come again next time
Everything was incredible. Just wish they served beer!
Very delicious noodles and side dishes! The food can get quite spicy so if you like it more on the mild side, be sure to order accordingly. Highly recommend it
Sichuan style food, specializing in various styles of noodles, as well as fish dishes. Very nice and friendly staff.
Good food with fair price! It s hard to find good Chinese food with affordable price in north shore nowadays and this one is really worth trying. 5 stars!
Very delicious, the spicy taste is authentic, the Chongqing noodles and rattan pepper fish hotpot are both great, and the portions are ample.
Delicious food and great atmosphere, staff was very friendly.
Delicious food! Though the meat is mostly fatty
When I came here for the first time, I ordered a signature beef noodles and a wonton, which tasted absolutely authentic.
Great food!
I got the tomato beef noodle soup. Noodles were very fresh (made in house). Broth was very flavourful and the portion is bery filling. The price is a little expensive tho 23$ total for one bowl of noodles.
Original noodles must try
The most authentic Sichuan noodles in Vancouver. It s spicy and friendly to children and the elderly. I give it a five-star recommendation
Simply delicious! ! The beef noodles and Chongqing noodles I ordered were so authentic! A treasure shop! !
Amazing food and what a beautiful person Amber was!!! Great service. Totally recommend this place!!!!
That s bad
The food the super delicious! The noodles are fresh and the perfect texture! I especially like their brown sugar desserts. Crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside. Favorite Chinese restaurant in West Vancouver. Would definitely recommend!
The taste is good and the service attitude is good!
The environment is very clean, the beef rice noodles here feel like home, and the beef is sufficient.
Awesome new Asian food option in west van
Very good noodle, nice services!
Very delicious!
Very delicious. Recommended to come here often.
Spicy beef noodle and red oil wontons were delicious, great atmosphere and service
6 people ordered a large portion of Laotan pickled fish pot, one portion of signature beef noodles, one portion of sour rice noodles, two portions of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, and two portions of cold dishes. They were very filling, full of flavor, and very authentic. The only thing is Don t overestimate your ability to eat spicy food. Mild spicy food is just right for us ( ¯ ¯ )
Very delicious
Great bowl of beef noodle soup and been curd salad. Beef was tasty and tender. Soup was delicious, and noodles were nice and firm
The noodles at this noodle shop have a very chewy texture, and the seasoning blends well with the noodles. It s so satisfying to have it in West Vancouver! ! !
Fantastic Sichuan noodle spot! The flavors are authentic and bold, the staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your dining experience is great. Definitely a must-visit for any noodle lover!
An authentic Sichuan noodle restaurant opened by a Sichuan couple, many of the raw materials are brought across the sea, and they also incorporate some dishes that suit local tastes. The people of West Vancouver are in luck. Kid-friendliness: There are non-spicy childrens meals
Great food, lovely restaurant and frinedly staff. I am impressed by their authentic Chinese food especially Sichuan cuisine. Spicy beef noodle and Red oil Wontons are best I have tried in Vancouver. Kid-friendliness: Non spicy food is available.
A transitional Chinese restaurant. The environment is clean and warm. It provide different kinds of food. No matter you like spicy or not, you will definitely has your choice there. No worries if you take kids together since they provide kids meals as well. A perfect Chinese restaurant to eat in, dine out, dine with families and friends.
I absolutely love the authentic Szechuan dishes at this place, especially their spicy noodles! The ambiance is fantastic, the service is top-notch. Ill definitely be coming back here often!
This noodle restaurant includes various regional specialty noodles from China, which are incredibly delicious and authentic! Highly recommended!
so nice to have such a good Chinese noodle restaurant in west van again!
Pros: 1: great atmosphere Cons: 1. One cook was not wearing hair net. 2. Menu is online only 3. Reception quality is subpar they greet you with blue rubber gloves. After you sit down there was no more service. 4. Each item is Overpriced by about 45% really low price to performance ratio and no value here at all. To be honest, if you have to have Chinese pasta you might want to check out LAO CAI which is couple blocks away. So much cheaper and way better quality. 5. Very mediocre food This is their menu: https://h5.auroratech.top/#/menuMoo Too mediocre so I only ate half. One subpar noodle dish totals 23 dollars with tips. I think your money can be better spent anywhere else for better foods. I would be totally ok with the price if the food was good not even to mention great. The same dish at the best sichuan restaurant in Vancouver (sichuan tale) is about 12 dollars with way more generous portion and exciting flavour profile. Mark my words, this establishment would be really lucky if it can last more than two years from now.
Very authentic classic Szchuan food. The taste will bring you to Chengdu, which is the hometown of panda, in one second. All the food, service and atmosphere here are very impressive. I love here very much!e
Discover authentic Sichuan flavors at Bowltiful. From fiery spicy broths to comforting braised beef noodle soup, each dish is a masterpiece. With carefully chosen toppings and welcoming ambiance, its a culinary journey not to be missed.
Tastes quite good
Vancouvers most authentic Sichuan noodle restaurant actually opened in West Vancouver, it is incredible, and the boss is from Chongqing, Sichuan, a special understanding of Sichuan food, all spices are from Sichuan local, so the taste and spicy is absolutely authentic, it is worth recommending.
A Sichuan noodle restaurant has opened in West Vancouver. I come here because of its reputation. The taste is very authentic! The store is clean and tidy, and the service is very good. I ordered the Chongqing noodles and the cold dish Qianqiandu, which satisfied my spicy taste buds. The ingredients were quite sufficient, and I could finally enjoy the freedom of eating noodles at home! Would go again.
The noodles and noodles are both delicious. It s hard to find good Chinese food in West Vancouver.
good
Casual Chinese noodle house on Marine! Their soup noodle was decent. The mixed noodle, on the other hand, could be a little better. I liked texture of the noodle as was nice and al dente. It was too long to be slurped. Good portion size but a bit on pricy side for what it was.
Spicy, authentic, excellent noodles.
The taste is good and the service is good. Delicious food and great services.
