“Was going to use the washroom today and took a quick look as I was walking by and the food was half off since they were jist about to close so I got the fried rice and lemon chicken and it was actually amazing considering it was one of 4 resturaunts in that tiny food court. The guy working was friendly and I can actually see myself coming back here in the future. If I had to say its comparable to the chinese food at TnT“

“I ordered the signature malatang with less spice, and my friend ordered the sesame sauce spicy dry mix. I already had high expectations because some of my friends told me this is the number one malatang place.
It really hit the spot!! So delicious. The soup had rich umami flavor and paired well with all the ingredients. The spice level was just right for me since my stomach is usually too weak to handle spiciness.
I also tried some of my friend’s dish. She chose medium spicy. It was actually too hot for me, but still very tasty. Spiciness is very personal, so I recommend starting with your own comfortable level and then adjusting the spice level on your next visit. (Anyway, you’ll definitely come back!! ;))
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made my experience even more pleasant.
Also, the restaurant looked much more hygienic than other malatang places. Please keep up this great quality 🙏
The only thing I’d suggest improving is the meat container. It looked a little empty, and since the meat was rolled up, it was hard to tell how much I was actually getting.“

“I was introduced to this place through my friend. I was skeptical at first to try it, but man oh man it was delicious.
I had the beef noodles and it hit the spot, it was cooked very well and the broth was spot on. What I loved more about it was the owner who runs the place. He was so warm and welcoming.
I highly would recommend this place if you want the food to hit the spot and not cause damage to your pocket !“

“Tiny hole in the wall that serves great food. There are only a few tables inside and it gets filled fast. We walked in, but it seems they take reservation. Food came out not too long. Owner was very attentive. We were planning to take left over home, but we forgot our box. The staff ran outside to catch up with us and he caught up with us a block further, gave us the box! What a service! ❤️ We will be back!“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant! I appreciate the unlimited rice (only for those dining in) and thought the meal was very delicious.
We opted for no spice, but I definitely want to come back again for the spicy version. Would recommend!“

This is one of my top recommendations for restaurants! We order the beef and broccoli lunch special, and the green beans with pork is extremely delicious as well!!!“

“Huge portions. Good prices , sign on the board is what you pay incl. taxes.
It was quite fast despite being really busy. I prefer takeout from here as the seating for the food court is usually packed.
This time tried the chicken nuggets + rice set meal this came with veggies ,egg and tofu for $14. Chicken is always really fresh , hot and crispy.
Like most stalls it is cash only ( or wechat/ alipay I think ). Sometimes they also have offers / coupons through Fantuan app even for pickup.“

“This is the most authentic Hang Zhou restaurant in Vancouver! I brought my parents who were visiting me from Hang Zhou there for lunch, and they absolutely loved it! We had four dishes:
1. Noodle soup with pork and preserved veggies (pian er chuan). Very fresh ingredients and delicious soup! The pork tenderloin slices were perfect, the bamboo was freshly flown in from Hang Zhou, and the noodles had a great texture, unlike any other noodle soup. I sent the photo to my relatives in Hang Zhou later in the evening, and they said the same noodle soup did not even look this good in Hang Zhou (with much fewer ingredients back home). So the chefs really produced a national treasure in my opinion.
2. Wonton soup. This is the street dish I grew up eating. The wonton skin was silky and the filling was delicious; the seaweed was fresh, and the little dried shrimp added more flavor. Just perfect and exactly how I remembered it.
3. Bing stuffed with preserved pork and veggie (mei gan cai bing). This is another perfection, thin and crispy crust, delicious and juicy filing, I wish I ordered another one.
4. Fried stinky tofu with sweet and spicy dipping sauce. This is another street dish I grew up eating. The stink is pretty mild, so it's not overpowering at all, but the tofu is really crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. The sweet and spicy sauce is what carries this dish.
Overall, I really like the food because it brings back so many memories of Hang Zhou. Even my parents are impressed (they are hard to impress!).“

“This place serves truly authentic Sichuan-style skewers — the flavors are rich, spicy, and exactly how they should be. All the ingredients are incredibly fresh and well-prepared. My personal favorites are the beef tongue, pork brain, chicken heart, beef tripe, and the tender beef slices — each one cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service is exceptionally warm and attentive, making the whole dining experience very enjoyable and memorable.“

“Spicy Pro Hot Pot 8542 Granville St, Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z7 Spicy Pro Hot Pot brings a unique and thoroughly enjoyable new dining experience to our neighborhood of Marpole. The aroma of the soup bases wafting from the modest storefront will stop you in your tracks and draw you inside. After choosing from a wide array of ingredients to add to one of three delicious soup bases, you can relax and enjoy the fun and cozy ambiance while the kitchen prepares your dish. When it arrives at your table in a generously large and elegant serving bowl you will immediately notice the care with which it has been assembled. Presentation is not lacking here and the money is being spent in the right place: the kitchen! I and my partner are not light eaters, and we come away stuffed and blissed-out for less than $50. The staff provide patient and thoughtful assistance to new customers choosing their ingredients and spice level for the first time. We love spicy food and usually order things hot, but the mild level is just right for us here.“

“This was my first taste of Indo-Chinese food, and I was delighted. We shared a number of plates family-style and everything hit the mark. The steamed goat momos and chicken curry were standouts, but I’m sure you can’t go wrong with anything here. The owner, Sharvan, is an absolute sweetheart along with his wife, Hannah, who’s tremendously talented in the kitchen. Will absolutely be coming back!“

“Authentic Northern Chinese hand pulled/cut noodles. We ordered a spicy cold noodle and an order of pork and vegetable dumplings (SUPER JUICY), the portions were pretty big and the price is reasonable. Family run restaurant with a lot of options. Will definitely come back again. We wish we had more time and people with us so we could have ordered MORE.
Went in for a quick dinner before a movie next door with...30min to spare. Mentioned that while ordering and they were very nice to accommodate and speed up the service.“
“The xiao long bao is very good. Nice and big, very juicy and nicely seasoned and not porky tasting. This small food court stall is making some of the best dumplings around. The pan fried dumplings were also tasty and juicy and the won ton soup was packed with wonton. Service is sooo friendly and welcoming. Worth trying to find this place upstairs in this food court near rice world. They sell out of the pan fried buns so don't go too late!“

“A few days ago, I went sea fishing and ended up at this restaurant. We asked them to prepare our seafood. The lady boss's impeccable service was the epitome of quality service! It was the first time I'd experienced genuinely friendly service in Canada! On our third day back in Winnipeg, I still couldn't forget the first three pickles: the crispy, sweet and sour cucumber, the shredded potatoes fragrant with chili oil, and the radish. The subtle salty and sweet flavors, combined with the slightly spicy and refreshing aroma, were simply perfect!
Both methods of preparing Dungeness crab are perfect, bringing out different flavors while retaining the sweetness of the crab meat. It's really great!!! As a food lover, I really hope there is a restaurant like this in Winnipeg!“

“I came here for lunch and was warmly greeted by the cashier and owner. They were both so helpful in explaining how to build my own Chinese poke bowl. Bowls start at only $12.88 and you choose a protein, base, sauce and 3 sides. I tried shrimp with thick noodles, dragon sauce and 3 veggie sides. The noodles were chewy and the sauce added a nice kick to it. I also tried the chicken curry over brown rice. I enjoyed the curry, next time I'm going to try their curry brisket over noodles.
They also have bubble tea! I tried mango milk tea with pearls and lychee black tea with coconut jelly. Both drinks were refreshing with a fruity taste and I liked that they weren't too sweet.“

“Amazing authentic Chinese food
10pc spicy dumpling soup for $10
The owner is so kind. It is empty usually because it is a little hidden. On the corner of 12th street and 5th Avenue. Where the golphi’s sign is.“

“Wo’s Chinese Restaurant serves authentic Chinese food with flavors that feel traditional and satisfying. The wonton bowl is generous with plenty of wontons, which is a plus, but the amount of soup is quite limited. It would be better if a bigger bowl were used to accommodate more soup, or if wonton soup refills were offered when reasonably needed.
The restaurant could improve on cleanliness, as it doesn’t feel as well-maintained as expected. On the positive side, there is ample parking space available at the back, making it convenient for customers.
Overall, a good spot for authentic Chinese food, but some improvements in cleanliness and portion balance would greatly enhance the dining experience.“
“We were here on a rainy Monday afternoon, and it was great that we didn’t need to wait to be seated. There is complimentary fruit dices and sunflower seeds while we were waiting. We ordered rabbit and chicken offals, and both of them were super numbing and spicy, and of course, tasty. The waiter was super attentive, get clean plates and add water before we even asked. Sadly we drove all the way from Calgary here and we can’t come and eat often, but definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes authentic Szechuan food!“

“It is actually good value to order half a Hainanese chicken combo, including oil white rice and a broth on the side. It is big enough for 2 people. I will definitely come back.
Their service is fast. At lunch rush, Empire Centre food court is a busy place. So, even the vendor prepares your food fast, you may still need to be patient to locate a table.“

“Drama Hotpot Richmond is my new comfort spot!
Their slogan says it all — “Life is drama, pot is hot.” And honestly, when life feels chaotic, this is the perfect place to eat your stress away. The ingredients are always fresh, the broth is rich and flavourful, and everything cooks perfectly.
Don’t skip their deep-fried section — the wings and sausages are a must-try and pair so well with the hotpot. Portions are generous and you can taste the quality in every bite.
The staff are friendly, fast, and always make sure you’re taken care of. The whole place just feels cozy and comforting, like a warm reset button after a long day.
If you love hotpot, or you just need a little happiness in a pot, Drama Hotpot Richmond is the place. Highly recommend! 🍲🔥“

“We usually come here for dinner. It was our first time thing their brunch. Highly recommend trying their xiao long bao and sesame chicken noodles for brunch. We got our fave dong bo Rou as well 😆 didn’t think that would be available for lunch but it is so we ordered it. I love that the sauce is slightly sweet and the meat ks super tender. Remember to order their mapo tofu. It’s only $3.95 and it’s not a typo 😉“

“Chaoshou (Sichuan-style wonton) is authentic and perfectly spiced, portion is large, but the pork intestines have a weird sour taste and rubber-like texture. Food safety is a concern, but hey it's the crystal food court, don't expect too much.“

“The logo looks like a deli/meat store but it’s actually part of a chain. I haven’t tried the others (all a bit different) but this one came highly recommended by our foodie friends. Food: 5/5 - They have 12 must-order dishes including a fried eggplant 🍆 which was SO GOOD. A blast of flavour including spicy, savoury, sweet, and herb-y🌿? It was lightly fried and not too oily. Basically I loved it. Our second dish was not from the must-try only because I’m a huge sucker for sour-spicy clear noodles of any type. Although it was not as good as my favourite version of this dish from the Aberdeen food court (Sichuan style) HOWEVER Richie could actually eat this one because it wasn’t as spicy haha🔥. Essentially a “lighter” version but still packed with flavour. It came on a hard-to-reach, raised bowl but I think that’s easy enough to tweak. The restaurant is still new and feeling things out. Our last dish was an omu-rice mapo tofu (lol) and Richie loved it, “It hits the right flavour in every way - not too salty, not too spicy, great tangy-ness, a little oily but immensely appetizing.” The manager said that they make the chili oil and spices from scratch. Prior to our visit we also tried their “sauce duck” or 酱鸭 which is a “thick” soy sauce, sweet duck (think Cantonese/HK roasted duck but sweet) which might not be for everyone but it’s interesting and worth trying if you like food that’s both sweet and salty. There’s also a Nanjing salted duck that we’ll try next time😊. Service: 4/5 - There was only one server aside from the manager today but both were wonderful at checking in and very quick to react to our needs. It’s also the first weekend of “dining-in” again so I wouldn’t hold it against them. Price: $$ - They have a good mix of affordable and fancy choices alike. Ambiance: 3.5/5 - My only complaint is that it’s a too bright inside (I think mood is very important) and I’m not sure what they want to be. It’s not exactly fine dining nor is it casual, nor fun/hip. But the food is good enough that it doesn’t matter. I think we will enjoying coming here and slowing trying everything. #richmondeats #vancityeats“

“Another one of Vancouver’s culinary Chinese hotspots.
If you’re looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine, this is definitely the place to go.
The beef and tripe dish were excellently flavoured with a perfect blend of spices. A nice hint of Szechuan peppercorns gives this the authentic flavour and slight numbing of the tongue.
The fried rice was well flavoured and perfectly seasoned. A little bit disappointing with the frozen vegetables, but still a very good fried rice nonetheless.
I highly recommend this place and I am looking forward to trying more of their amazing dishes“

“I was so surprised and very happy with how good everything was! the person at the front helped me so much with all my questions and explained which to get. I ended up with the beef mushroom and because I got the large, I got an egg. There was so much food I had to save it for the next day! Next time I come, I’ll be getting the curry beef as that looked just as good!“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! Don’t be fooled by its cover, the food here truly stands out in the area. My husband and I come often, and every dish is freshly cooked, sizzling hot, and full of flavor. My husband loves dishes made with organ meats, and they’re always cleaned perfectly and taste amazing. The owner is incredibly warm and attentive. Sometimes they get super busy because it’s that popular, but it never takes away from how delicious the food is!“

“I really like the soup. Lots of options to put in the hotpot, and the beef is super cheap at night. The spicy beef tallow broth hit the right spot for me, which is great because I don’t find most spicy options satisfying. I also like the fried buns.
If I could ask for one thing though, I would like if there were more option for single people. The prices were definitely made with groups in mind but I would love to go here alone. Otherwise I’m very satisfied.
P.S: I like Jiabao’s style“

“Very special place built with North-east China style no matter the renovation or food menu - Iron Pot Stew(鐵鍋燉).
A over 700 mm/24 inches diameter big iron pot stay in the central of the table for all people to share the big stew, which is the unique culture from North East China.
Each fresh cook dishes provided more ingredients than other Chinese restaurants which is very North East. In mandarin, people said 這很東北(this is very North East) which means really authentic North East China tradition.
Also the price is really fair for budget and quality, tested very good with high quality.
When you order any kind of side dish for the Iron Pot Stew, servers come to serve you as the video shown.
No matter you are Chinese want have some authentic North East Chinese cuisine, or anyone have interest to enjoy those huge Iron Pot Stew, here will be your best option.“

“I am so impressed with their lunch specials! My fave was the green beans and beef with the hot and sour soup. Usually with lunch specials at restaurants the soup is small with scant things in it but their soup was LOADED with stuff (including a few little shrimp). The whole meal (with tea!) is just 13.95!! I don't know if they can continue to afford such a good deal for long so I plan to try and enjoy it as much as possible:). Also went there with a a few colleagues for family style and delicious.“
