“Crispy Wonton is my daughter favourite, my hubby loved their Wonton soup. Singapore noodle is the best in town. Friendly staff and good food. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We have been enjoying the dishes at Ocean Palace since 2002. We absolutely love the Diced Beef with Black Pepper Sizzling Chow Mein (all of the chow meins are good), the Prawns in Spicy Salt, their Sliced Beef with Chinese Broccoli, and the House Deluxe Vegetables. They are SO good.“

“Good news. They’ve just hired a new girl to answer the phone and work the front counter. She’s friendly and even phoned us back to let us know our order was ready to be picked up earlier than expected. The food was great too. Still no dine-in service though.“

“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.“

“Very tasty housemade noodles and beef roll. This small Xi An cuisine eatery with only 4 tables has very basic decor but the owner provides very good, personable service. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was. I’ll be back to try their other dishes, especially the housemade noodles and dumplings. They only take cash or debit.“

“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 !“

“Rich, creamy broth with a gentle heat that perfectly complemented the tender fish and earthy mushrooms. The fresh vegetables and green peppercorn added a vibrant kick, and the red rice made it hearty and satisfying. A comforting, flavorful dish. I came with my big family and got great atmosphere too. If you are going to bring kids, it is good to order tomatoes sauce fish with yummy crispy pork.“

“We had a great dining experience at Alvin Garden. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has a nice Chinese-style atmosphere. The food was very flavorful, especially the kung pao chicken, spicy boiled fish, and stir-fried pork with green peppers. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly. A great place for family meals or dining with friends. Would definitely come back again“

“Had a weekday family dinner at Neptune Palace Seafood Restaurant. The dining room was spacious and easily fit our group, and the staff were attentive throughout the meal.
We ordered the Peking duck prepared two ways. The first course was crispy duck with thin crepes, green onion, cucumber, and sauce so everyone could make their own wraps. The second course used the chopped duck meat stir-fried with vegetables and served in lettuce cups. Both were enjoyable.
Other dishes we liked were the fresh seafood, crispy chicken, and the bite-sized spareribs braised in black vinegar, which were tender with a nice tangy flavour. Overall, a good spot for a family-style dinner with plenty of dishes to share.“

“This place has a non-stop line of people ordering and you can tell why. Their speciality is the Taiwanese style fried chicken leg (boneless) or their Taiwanese salty fried chicken nuggets combo with rice and 3 sides they give you. Before I get into their deliciousness of the chicken, their sides are killer too. They give you a handful of veggies of the day, a thick piece of matinated tofu patty, and soya sauce marinated egg. Protein heaven already. Their chicken is so freshly deep fried, just the right amount of spices, hot, juicy and tender on the inside. Sprinkle some of their red powder on the side if you want more heat. Their portion is huge! They don't skimp out at all! I normally eat 3/4 and pack the rest home. All for $15! Bring cash as with all Richmond vendors!“

“Me and my husband wanted to try out the food here, so we ordered a takeout. We got the Shanghai noodle with chicken, curry beef, honey prawns, honey garlic chicken, spicy deep fried chicken, and tofu beef soup (I dont remember the exact names). The price for all of this is reasonable I would say, but we did ordered a lot. All were delicious and filling! The portions were just right, not too small or too much, which is what I like. We will definitely come back here when were craving for Chinese food! Sorry I couldn't take photos, we ate the food immediately when we got home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We spent four days in Vancouver and ended up visiting 銀記腸粉 three times. That alone says a lot about how much we enjoyed this place.
As the name suggests, they specialize in rice noodle rolls (腸粉), and they do them exceptionally well. Their 炸兩 (rice noodle roll wrapped around a fried dough stick) was the best I've had in Canada, and possibly the best I can remember anywhere. The fried dough was crisp on the inside, while the rice noodle wrapper was silky, fresh, and cooked to perfection. If you enjoy 炸兩, this is an absolute must-order.
We also tried the boat congee (艇仔粥), which was among the better versions I've had in Canada. Rich, flavorful, and generously filled, it was a pleasant surprise.
Another highlight was the noodle dishes. I ordered the wonton noodle soup on one visit and the beef brisket noodle soup on another. The noodles had the firm, springy texture that many Cantonese noodle shops strive for but often miss. In fact, the texture was better than what I've experienced at both 黎良記 and 沾仔記.
The wontons themselves were somewhat underwhelming, but the beef brisket was excellent—tender, flavorful, and well worth ordering.
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We have family members with peanut allergies, and when we informed them, they carefully reviewed the ingredients used in their dishes and clearly explained what was safe to order. Their attention to detail and understanding of food allergies gave us a lot of confidence.
This is the kind of place you visit for great food and quick, attentive service. If you're looking for somewhere to grab a delicious meal before continuing on with your day, it's an easy recommendation. If you're planning a long date night and want to linger over conversation for hours, you may be better off elsewhere. Personally, I hope it stays exactly as it is—I appreciate being able to walk in, enjoy excellent food, and be served promptly.“

“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“

“This place has extremely massive portion sizes which are super worth the price. The noodles are handmade and chewy. The flavours are rich and tasty. Honestly, to compete with other places, maybe they could even cut down the portion size. 😂 They also give quite a bit of meat. The servers are friendly and nice.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Xiaohongshu recommendation didn’t let me down — it’s seriously spicy, so satisfying, makes you sweat, and goes perfectly with rice. The taste is absolutely amazing. This Sichuan dish is top-tier, no flaws at all. The portion size matches the price perfectly. Delicious, highly recommend!“

“Had high expectation due to the reviews. We only ordered a few dishes but they were a bit disappointing in my own opinion.
- The recommended Guoba Rou was a let down because it was basically deep fried breading in sweet sauce. The meat layer was so thin you could barely taste it. The fried breading was thick and chewy.
- Maybe we did not read the description but the egg plant dish was also in a very sweet sauce when we thought it would be savory. Its very heavy.
- Staff was nice and place was a bit small. If you want to eat in I would recommend checking in a bit early or reserving a spot.“

“One of the best authentic Northern Chinese cuisines in the Greater Vancouver Area. As someone with Northern heritage, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Their deep-fried eggplant with ground meat, the steamed ShaoMai, and marinated steamed pork are wonderfully cooked. Been to this place many times now, and it never disappoints. Their food is so amazing, I feel obliged to share this with the rest of the world. Strong recommendation! You have to try this place!“

“This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with authentic Chinese seafood and home-style dishes. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, from the crispy pork to the tender chicken and vibrant vegetables. The lobster sticky rice was especially impressive, rich and fragrant with generous portions. The menu is well balanced, prices are reasonable, and daily specials are great value. Service is friendly and efficient, making the whole experience very enjoyable. Whether for family gatherings or casual dinners, this is a place I would happily return to and strongly recommend to friends.
I come here about once a month, and it never disappoints. I’ve brought many friends to try it, and everyone has loved it. I especially recommend the sweet and sour pork, typhoon shelter lobster, and white cut chicken.“

“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!“

“I just ordered using uber eats, so I am just commenting on the food. It was fantastic!
The mixed vegetables were cooked perfectly and the sweet and sour pork has that old school taste which is really hard to find. The honey garlic chicken tastes great, was a little mushy but the taste is great. Rice and chow mein also delish.
My only complaint is with how greasy the spring roll was, but not taking a star away because of this. I will order again for sure!“
