“As tourists, we ate twice in two consecutive days, and the second time we came back and thought it was really good.I went to Nanaimo during the holidays and came across this Chinese restaurant. Unexpectedly, it surpassed all Victoria Chinese restaurants in my heart.We ate Guobao Pork, Boiled Fish, Couple's Lung Slices, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork, Maoxuewang, Salt and Pepper Squid, and Yangzhou Fried Rice.Overall, it’s delicious and great for replenishing energy during the trip! It's spicy but not irritating, and it's also very fragrant. After eating, your body feels warm. Although the restaurant serves a full range of cuisine, it is by no means an ordinary local old Cantonese recipe. Living here for more than ten years, I have really had enough of the daily stir-fry dishes made in Guangdong and Hong Kong.Talking about these dishes individually, let’s talk about the shortcomings first: Husband and wife’s beef slices are a bit ordinary. We also make them at home. They are delicious, but not as eye-catching as others. The ingredients for Maoxuewang are the same as boiled fish, not much distinctive.In terms of advantages: The pot-baked pork is perfect, surpassing VIC and the four van restaurants we have eaten at so far. Salt and pepper squid, very fresh, not too salty, delicious! The shredded pork with green pepper doesn't have a particularly strong bean paste flavor, so it's delicious. Yangzhou fried rice, the portion is generous, the dishes are well-balanced and delicious!“
“This place is great. Just like food streets in Taiwan or the chains in mainland China. If you have drank a lot of 奶茶 ( pearls, hot or iced, fruit slush or just sweet classic) you will appreciate this is the real deal. They do offer options for less sugar, but the pearls are cooked correctly (in ooey gooey sugar syrup) so don’t complain that it’s still sweet since it’s literally a dessert beverage.Vegetarian options: Oat milk and pure fruit options“
“Used to love these guys, their flavour combos and selection is great... but recently they started limiting the number of options you can get (for pearls and jellies) and force you to up size to a large if you want more than 2 but still limit you to 3 max in a large. I dig a triple boba but sometimes, a double pearl double jelly with protien what hits the meal replacement spot, and thats no longer an option.“
“This was my first time visiting this restaurant with my girlfriend, it was surprisingly affordable compared to other restaurants in nanaimo and their food was phenomenal you couldn't get better French frys anywhere else. I would recommend asking for extra sauce if little sauce is an issue but other than that I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone in town.“
