43 Best Chinese Restaurants in Burnaby

“This is a higher priced Chinese restaurant, but the quality and proportions make them worthy.

Every meal that we have had here has been fantastic. The flavors are always on point, and there is plenty to go around.

Our favorite dishes are the Peking Duck 2-way with Lettuce Wrap, the Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice, the Roasted Chicken half, and my little ones love the Crab Claws with Shrimp Paste.

Since we do not live here, the price is worth it for the few opportunities we get to enjoy the amazing Chinese food in Vancouver.“

“The peppery pork belly and chicken soup is rich, rich in ingredients and has a high Cp value. The salty crispy chicken is juicy and fragrant. The waiter Yvonne sincerely recommends it. The service is super great!!!

Dietary restrictions: Salty Crispy Chicken“

“Is there anything more worthwhile than a bowl of Malatang on Saturday morning~~ Good quality and low price! The boss is super nice! Now you can get a lucky draw if you spend over $36 at 5pm from Monday to Friday~ I like Zhang Liang Malatang??“

“We ordered beef noodle soup and chicken fried rice. The price was reasonable and the portion was huge so you’ll really get more bang for your buck. Their tea was so nice and the service was awesome. I love my beef noodle soup. The both is tasty and the beef is very tender. I will definitely come here again.“

“OH MY✳️❤️????✅️. LOVE THIS recent restaurant discovery!! We have never had "Hunan cuisine" before-all of most others-but THIS was VERY SPECIAL- AND very TASTY ‼️✅️??. We have now had several excellent dishes. We had wonton soup-incredible darker broth- amazing - and the flavour of their wonton dumplings is excellent. We wanted MORE and have NEVER in all our years had those dumplings tasting like their's do ??!! We had their ginger, chicken, and green onion soup-??Amazing broth again, refreshing-truly- and, it left us all wanting it AGAIN‼️I CANNOT say enough about this place✅️✅️✅️- their chef ✅️✅️✅️and this Hunan style of food and spicing, etc.❗️We have also had their wonderful smoked pork house rice, the sour shredded potatoes and peppers, spicy cabbage, green onion pancakes, beef broccoli, etc. ( "Mild" is still fairly HOT here?-so unless you can take heat- ask for "?BABY heat???") PLEASE try for yourself! WE ARE going back for more to sample. You WON'T likely be disappointed! It is not a large restaurant, and they have delivery. It IS very clean, large menu choices, and the servers are so nice! Prices are very fair and comparable. They have dim sum items as well!???“

“The fish options are very yummy and the staff is friendly. The food is fresh. Highly recommended! ?

Parking: Many parking slots inside crystal mall.

Kid-friendliness: They have non spicy option. There are candies for kids.“

“First time hot potting. The waiter was so helpful and the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again!“

“We arrived right when a large dinner party was leaving, so we had to wait quite a while to get seated, for someone to take our order, and for water to arrive. Otherwise, the food was amazingly cheap for how much you received! We also received extra ice cream at the end for the trouble.“

“This is actually my second time at Gaon. This place offer quality food with a budget-friendly price ? I was having my birthday party here of 6 and we ordered a Combo B BBQ set for 4 and 1 main dish and believe me when i say all 6 of us couldn’t actually finish the food so we have to take my cake back home without eating any of it lol. Will recommend to more friends.“

“This place is fantastic, all of the staff are SO friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious also!“

“The food is good. Their ginger beef is one of the best in town. Curry dishes are not great here. Service is very good and fast. A little tight space in seating. Plenty of parking around. Overall, it's a good Chinese restaurant to dine in with family and friends.“

“Gluten free Chinese food! Yes, you read that correctly! Actually gluten free Chinese food. Including the battered meats! This is the first time I’ve ever encountered a gluten free Chinese food restaurant!

I got their most popular dish: the sesame chicken. It’s the first fried Chinese food I’ve had since getting celiac disease. The crispy fried chicken was delightful! It was served very hot and they prepared it so quickly too. It had great cuts of chicken too.

The associate who I talked with on the phone was very kind and courteous and worked hard with her staff to get my food ready quickly as I was in a rush.

This restaurant only adds 3 minutes to your route when you go from Vancouver back to the US!

5 stars!“

“Authentic little chinese restaurant at a great price. A great hidden gem! Love the lunch specials and the house special chow mein. The value for the lunch specials in particular are very reasonable. They are definitely a top choice for a quick lunch when I am in the area.“

“I craved Baozi (Chinese bun) and saw it’s on their menu so went for it. It was excellent.
A very kind lady served me. I was hungry so was anxious during the wait, but the food was worth it.
Tried the two kind of buns they had. It wasn’t salty as I had expected foods outside to be. Not salty/oily at all and in fact was very tasty, medium-size bun with generous meat filling, loved it. 太香了，好好吃?！Thanks for making my day ^ ^“

“Love my neighbourhood cheung fun & congee place! The best comfort food you’ll need after a long week or on rainy cozy weather, like a warm fuzzy hug! They also have bomb fried noodles dishes & rice roll hot pot! & may is the kindest person x“

“I visited here for the first time last year on a business trip and tried the dry spicy wontons and I have not stopped thinking about them since. These are the most perfect bite ever. Soft, savory, tingly, spicy, warm, affordable, and so filling. I am back in Vancouver for business again and my first stop for dinner was this totally unassuming food stall in the crystal mall. Love love love and wish I had anything even remotely similar back home.“

“I have tried this place both for dine in and dine out.
I go here for their affordable lunch menu. The foods here are mostly delicious. Fried rice is sometimes hit or miss.

I like their spicy pork chop, house special wanton soup, and congee.

Prices are reasonable and they have quick service.“

“Over all…the hotpot was good…lots of choices…
Dim sum…was very limited 2 or 3 choices…and slow to get refilled…

I was disappointed that my 10 and 14 year old child had to pay the full adult price of 52$ each, as this location based it off height…and not age…

If your planning to go with your kids…personally I don’t think it’s worth it…

As well…please be advised…if your planning to pay by credit card…they will charge you a 2% fee…unless you do their survey…in which case they will wave the 2% fee“

“今天試過了。好食。 無味精。會再番黎“

“Our family of 10 just landed back in Vancouver ag 5pm after 4 days in California. We were hungry and didn't know what to eat. Good thing Happy Lamb Hot Pot could accommodate us! Food and service here has always been good since we have been eating here for the past 10+ years.

$30-$40 per person all you can eat is worth it. Compared to California where each meal we paid $20-$30 USD per person per meal! It's good to be back where Vancouver has the best variety of food at descent price.

Here they have deep fried chicken wings and lamb/pork bones ready to eat if you are hungry and can't wait for you hot pot food to come out.

Parking: The CIBC parking is from 8am-5pm underground, but you can park there after 5pm.“

“I don't know if Koreans' tastes will have different tastes, but it feels like real Chinese food. It's good to try once, but it's just not to my taste. But even though the closing time had passed, people still waited to eat. (Orders must be placed 15 minutes before closing) Anyway, rather than saying it’s delicious, I’m grateful that it allowed me to eat at such a late hour!“

“I met with a few friends for lunch at this Peaceful location & was pleasantly pleased with the food we ordered. The star attraction were the Beef Rolls. The stuffed slices of tasty beef had the taste of being freshly roasted & the wrap was equally crispy. YUMMY! Street parking is available. If no spots available, try the surrounding residential parking or the parade across the street. Service at the restaurant was attentive. Limited seating/tables but we managed to arrive before the lunch crowd came - 11:30 am on a Friday. Definitely, we will come back to this location.“

“A hidden gem for Taiwanese food that deserves more hype! Went for the boiled fish with pickles combo for two and got a feast—boiled fish soup, beef bulgogi, crispy fried tofu, plus tea and veggies (not pictured because we were too busy eating). Cozy vibes, friendly service, and flavors that hit the spot. Definitely coming back for round two!“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid. Always good value and food tastes great. Braised beef brisket hot pot is very tender. If you don't get the black bean sauce for the chow mein, the flavor will be milder. The chow mein noodles are nice and crispy and absorbs the sauce well. I'll continue to come here.

Parking: Can be hard to find parking during the afternoon and early evening“

“Big portion, and decent food. The restaurant is located at prime location in the area, the Plaza itself has very limited parking, but there are plenty of street parking around the block. I love the spicy and sour potatoes and the cumin lamb slices. Those are our go to dishes.“

“Excelente atención, buen ambiente y gran variedad de platillos“

“We dined here the other night, and I have to say we left feeling incredibly happy and satisfied. The food was outstanding—everything was fresh and flavorful, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

The service was just as impressive. Our server made us feel like honored guests in his home, greeting us warmly, chatting, and even sharing a few jokes. His friendliness and hospitality really added a personal touch to the evening.

Since we live only a few minutes away, this has quickly become my favorite Chinese restaurant. It seems they get more takeout orders than dine-in customers, but this spot definitely deserves more love. If you’re thinking of giving it a try, go for it—you won’t regret it!“

“I always hesitate to order noodle soup from food courts because high temperature soup is often served in a single-use plastic container, which can potentially leach microplastics and other chemicals into the food. I love how this place serves its food in a clay pot that you can return after finishing eating. The deposit is $5, which you get back upon returning the clay pot. Not only is using a reusable container healthier, but it's also environmentally friendly!“

“We spent a splendid getaway in the Murray Hotel last weekend. Candy and Marianne took care of everybody in the bar with care and smile during the busy late afternoon. Their presence makes the drinks and snacks even better. Rocky and Sheldon’s offer great hospitality in the Tai Pan. We enjoyed our breakfast very much. We will come back soon!“

“Our regular takeout spot! Hidden gem in N. Burnaby. Great food for value - around $15 per dish before tax. Free spring rolls w/ min $35 order. Michael Buble was even a customer back in the day and it was neat to see a framed photo on the wall of him and the owner. Like previous reviews have said, they get super busy on weekends and can take awhile to make your order so it's best to give them plenty of notice! There aren't too many old school Chinese restaurants like this anymore.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level access.“

“Great service. We came here late at 2 p.m. on a weekend; they welcomed us to stay and eat during their meal break, making sure we were served.

The food is fresh, and the price is very affordable. We appreciate the great experience.“

“The fish dish F3 Guizhou style rock cod was really delicious!! I plan to visit again~^^ I asked them not to salt it before ordering and the quantity and price are really great.

Parking: Crystal Mall p2 floor had more seats than p1 floor“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and place is big and comfortable ,special the manager is excellent and wonderful,The service men and girls so nice and patient Thanks ???? I will back more and bring my family ??????again this Metrotown area best Chinese sea food restaurant if you order before 11:00am you also will wave the tea fee and 10 % off any way
Food is delicious and place is clean and big the service people is awesome ??????

Dietary restrictions: The hot pot either by pork or chicken is very delicious

Parking: Under ground free parking lots

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly“

“we came in about an hour before closing and had a full meal, the food was delicious especially the wor wonton soup! the service was also amazing, our server jack was super welcoming and accommodating. we’re definitely coming back!
(there was also a lot of leftovers, the price versus how much food youre getting is a great deal!)“

“So delicious ? Full of ingredients, such a big bowl, super satisfying! The soup is so delicious that you want to drink it all! Come again next time! Delicious food with generous portions and great value! The variety of toppings is impressive, and the deep bowls ensure a satisfying meal. The special recipe gives the soup a rich, flavorful taste that sets it apart. Highly recommended!“

“Came here bc my family chose it after a family funeral. Food was really good compared to the restaurant Congee Noodle House, which is near where I live. Being vegan [my fams agree too] I think that their Spicy Deep Fried Bean Curd is quite delicious similar to the above restaurant. I would enjoy coming here again if in the neighbourhood, but it's too far from where I live. Their service is good n they did apologize for not getting us what we ordered sooner but they were clearly slammed. Lots of big tables were filled up with ppl.“

“Around 4:30pm, without eating all day, I was exploring a new restaurant where offers a fresh small meal for a single person, and Han Ju Tofu Hot Pot caught my eyes and in the meantime the restaurant boss told me to give it a try. I was impressed by his enthusiasm and lovely smile also in the end very impressed by their such taste seafood pot. Very happy I have another favourite restaurant to visit more.“

“Friendly service. Great value. Love the pork belly.“

“Food is great! Meats are significantly better than Kingsway cause its almost no fat on the side at all. Pot on the table is a bit far and non-asian employees refill your soup to the rim of the ceramic but the pot is shorter and it's the stainless. So broth went everywhere!“

“I got the X’ian Hand Pulled Noodle in Spicy Sauce Oil, which was suggested to me by the lady at the counter as a vegetarian option. The portion was huge and it was very tasty. They have a number of vegetarian/vegan options available which I was able to clarify.“

“Thanks to the chef for making lobster congee!“
