Even after years, this still is the best Chinese Restaurant in the Vancouver mainland area. With a great, warm and cozy atmosphere, serving plentiful and flavorful portions, and not as expensive as other places in the area, I always come here for an awesome meal with my partner and/or friends.

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.
