50 Best Chinese Restaurants near New Westminster

“I tried their fried chicken noodle. Meat portion is 25% of the whole noodle plate.
But I like the taste and texture.

I tried their chicken fried rice and fried chicken with dry peppers.
Fried rice was average and had 20% chicken and 80% rice, I shared with another person as we are small rice eaters.

They have a seating capacity for 12. And tables were already taken on Sunday during lunch hours.

Good service and reasonable price.“

“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.“

“Wonderful little place I just stopped by for a bite to eat and a coffee. Lovely owners and atmosphere, DELICIOUS FOOD!!!The decor and interior could use a bit of sprucing up, but honestly that doesn't matter too much to me personally.It's a shame that there are bad reviews from the previous owners that seem to be affecting this place's overall rating, so if you're just checking this out now, I would highly recommend to stop by and give this place a try!“

“Very tasty! I recommend!
However, I ordered Kung Pao combo for takeout. I got home and was disappointed with the amount of food for $21.something. So, I returned to the establishment and expressed my concern. I was told that it looks like a smaller amount because they changed containers. Bull duty!
Yeah, they changed containers, however, they started serving smaller amounts in those larger containers.

Very polite and accommodating staff.“

“After walking past the broken irrigation system and entering inside. You will be greeted and directed to a waiting area which is a bit uncomfortable seating looks nice but very rigid, you will be forced into a proper posture.

The food is very quick and fresh to arrive almost as if the chef is at the table with you.

Wait staff very quick to make sure your table stays clean, had to ask they stop changing my plate so often, kind of funny but a but distracting when you are chatting with your group. I did very much appreciate the humor they had when coming around very welcoming with the humor of an uncle or a sibling, a gentle tease or offering to do somthing ridiculous like well if you dont like the filling in the sesame bun I can remove it for you no charge and give you back the bun with no filling.“

“A hidden gem in New Westminster. Its a large but quiet restaurant just outside of Royal Columbian Hospital. We were 5 minutes too early to the opening time but the owner saw us and kindly opened the doors and took our order. They have lunch combos but we decided to go with the gong bao chicken. We ordered a half order which turned out to be the size of the usual order in different restaurants. Taste was good and flavorful. Decent amount of chicken with not too much filler veggies. Also ordered the fried rice noodle. A little bit saltier than I like but still pretty good. The owner was also the head chef. Service with smiles, small conversations and very quick. Prices are reasonable, considering the market. The restaurant bathroom is clean and the restaurant environment itself is quiet but comfortable. I definitely recommend a try!“

“Amazing value and super cozy! The wonton soup tastes like the one I usually get from Richmond public market, the chicken fried rice tasted like home, the veggies were crisp and perfectly cooked, the the sweet and sour pork wasn't hard!

On top of that, the food well priced compared to what you'll usually get for 40 bucks!“

“My favourite hotpot restaurant :) I love the individual hot pot idea and all the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Always have an amazing experience here“

“It's a really good Chinese restaurant. We go there for late lunch on Saturday. I don't know what to order. I see the chicken with broccoli chow mein looking good on my next table. So I just tell the staff I want this one on the other table. She tells me that the one I want has lunch special. It's a good deal. It costs only $14.95 for it. Thank you for the friendly and helpful staff.
Since we are too hungry, I forget to take pictures.
I also order one veggies stream dumpling and congee. The dumplings are so good and fresh. It's even better than the big dim sum restaurants in Vancouver.
I will come back for it soon.
I can only take some pictures outside the restaurant. The food are just as good as the pictures showing there.“

“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!!!

“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.“

“The food here is surprisingly good. Stars taken away because the place smells old. The lady waiting on us was very helpful in her recommendations. We had the Dan-Dan noodle(peanut sauce), Xiao Long Bao, wonton in chilli oil and my nephew had some kind of the chicken broth noodle which was so-so. But the rest were all good.“

“This is my favourite Sichuanese/Chinese spot of all time (and I've been to Sichuan!!)
The service is amazing and the food is incredibly authentic. I come here whenever I'm in the area :)
10/10 would recommend if you like spicy food! Their wood ear mushroom dish and Chongqing noodles are an absolute gem.“

“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!“

“Been there several times and the food had always tasted awesome! I can’t think about one single dish I don’t like. Special recommendation on the 3in1 noodles, love the multi layer flavors.
Try to go a bit earlier cuz there might be a line up.“

“Great place for dinner or lunch. I had the beef noodle soup was great“

“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!???“

“First time here and it won’t be the last! We had our family lunch here and everything was delicious! The flavours were spot on, very nice textures and nicely presented. The service was excellent. Some in my family can’t handle spicy so we ordered most dishes as mild but none of the dishes lacked flavour. Everything was very tasty! We enjoyed the food so much that we forgot to take photos of the food. Very authentic flavours that reminded us of our time in China. My husband and I will definitely return whenever we’re back in town from the east coast.“

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

“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.“

“A reliably tasty dim sum spot with authentic Cantonese flavors, tidy execution, and genuinely attentive service—easy to recommend for a relaxed weekend yum cha .

Siu mai are bouncy and meaty with a sweet shrimp snap; seasoning leans classic and lets the pork-shrimp blend shine without MSG heaviness .“

“The food is insane! I everything it was soooo delicious taht now we are looking to try their Korean BBQ for next time!
And many side dishes!

We were looking for try a new Korean Restaurant, and we have not regrets! We ordered :
Gamja-tang Soup ( Spicy Pork Back-Bond).
And Kimchi Jjigae soup ( spicy kimchi and pork).“

“We decided to drop by & order take out food . It only took 20 minutes wait , then went back to my car but my car won’t start on the first day of snow& was very cold. I called BCAA but it will take an hour & a half to arrive. Went back inside the restaurant & told the lady, she said ohh your food will be cold, offered us a table to eat( no dine in ) & gave us hot tea & bottled water. We are very thankful for their hospitality & kindness. It showed the true meaning of CARING.“

“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.“

“my all time favorite restaurant...before covid...I will let you know after tomorrow's lunch 🥰😋😋❤“

“Authentic Uighur Xinjiang cuisine. The gentleman wearing the “ doppa” hat is quiet but makes the best braised lamb in all of greater Vancouver. We ordered the lamb with nan and samsa, comes with broth and soup. He suggested the rice polo and it’s their best seller. Amazing food and service.“

“We come here often because it's close to our family. The food is very standard dim sum, nothing special. I usually order the pan fried turnip cakes - it's usually really delicious but the last few times it has been dry, flavorless and bland. The rice rolls are a little too dry as well. They do have delicious baked BBQ pork buns though and their fried dishes are usually good.

The service is always 👍. They're very personable and friendly, and very efficient.

Go in the morning. It gets extremely busy once 1130am comes around.“

“The ladies that work here are the best!
The food is absolutely delicious.
Every time we come here we have a great time.
I can't get enough of this place and I try to make it a regular occurrence.
Vegetarians and meat eaters are happy here.“

“First time going for dinner here. Highly recommend! Some of the best Chinese food we personally have had. Staff is great. Prompt service, food is fresh and hot. Never once had to ask for anything. Will definitely be back again and we're bringing friends!“

“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!“

“My friend Booked reservations here and told me how much her and her bf loved eating here. It was my first Sichuan food
Experience and I loved it.

Because we had a party of 4 so we had to walk in and I came in at around 5.

The place is full of traditional Chinese decor and it’s spacious and open.

The staff immediately greeted me and offer
Me tea while we ate.

The menus is a scan and we ordered a few dishes.

My favorite was the spicy beef and the favorite was the sweet and sour pork.

We had the deep friend tong yuan with black sesame filling for dessert.

They also have free parking and I think for the portion, I think it’s reasonable.

It is spicy so to people who can’t eat too spicy, I would make sure u request less spicy and get a cold beverage!“

“Small eatery known for their extensive noodle dishes. I had their Beef Chow Mein with Cumin ($16.50). Good portion size for the price, and I had some leftovers to take home after dinner. Was able to customize it to be non-spicy. The dish had a fragrant cumin flavour, and the beef slices were bouncy and tender. It also had a mix of veggies (beansprouts, cabbage, onions), but I wish there was a bit more protein overall. The picture in the menu has broccoli, but there wasn't any broccoli included.

Another diner in my group ordered their Clay Pot Noodle and remarked it's their go-to. Food came out promptly. I believe they only take cash/debit, so come prepared. No frills kind of eatery, but they have a good selection of items, so I'm definitely planning on returning to try some other dishes in the future!“

“I actually only ordered from them for the first time a few days ago, The lady said I shouldn't order Ginger beef with Lemon Chicken so I got Mongolian beef instead that time. The food was definately good enough to order again. Good food reasonable prices. But they make mistakes. I ordered Sweet and Sour pork, GINGER beef and Chicken Chow Mein. They sent Sweet and sour pork, SWEET AND SOUR BEEF, and Chicken Chow Mein. Why would anyone order two Sweet and sour. A little upsetting. I don't want to read too much into it, but it sort of feels like she's trying to teach me lesson.“

“This is our go-to restaurant whenever we don’t know where to go, we know the food here will always satisfy our cravings! I highly recommend the clay pot rice, it’s a must have! The rice is crispy on the outside and so flavourful with their customized sauce and meats! Just make sure to order it right away since it takes about 30 minutes to make.“

“今天試過了。好食。 無味精。會再番黎“

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

“Stopped by for a snack after getting some groceries and they had the best original rice rolls we've ever had! The soy sauce wasn't too salty, the rolls were perfectly tender yet slightly springy, and the sesame seed topping was a nice touch. Really liked the side of peanut sauce & oyster sauce too!“

“This was such a unique dining experience! I was thrilled! You order a bunch of skewers that range in price and main dishes. We ordered: beef tongue, throat, pork belly, skin, squid, cauliflower, potato, toast, spring rolls, cucumbers and even more squid. Everything was delicious, well spiced and cooked to perfection! Everything came out so fast, it was thrilling to see our table fill up so fast! I love how different cultures have different dining experiences, where you can just sit and chat with friend for hours and pick at your skewers that they keep warm for you at the table.
I will come back here in heartbeat! Its open late and seems to be always busy!“

“The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend this establishment if you want authentic and halal Fijian food. We ordered a large lamb curry, tawa rotis and chicken pulao. The portions were huge and well worth the money as they were packed to the brim. The uncle was so kind and gave us two extra chutneys (imli and tomato) and 12 pakoras to open our fasts with. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, definitely give it a try.“

“I was craving Chinese food this past weekend thought I would give this place a try. As I do eat gluten free I was glad to hear that this place offers gluten free options for some of my favourite dishes. I was very pleased with the taste of the food, presentation, portion and price. I will recommend this place to people if they have not tried it yet!

Our order consisted of Crispy ginger beef, spicy garlic prawns and BBQ pork fried rice.“

“Maybe the best chinese restaurant in Surrey? We come from China and can confirm the food here is exactly the same in China, not some stereotype chinese food, and the price is good, worth to try if you never tried really chinese food before.“

“Solid 4/5 would go back again. Meat is fatty and flavourful. Loved it. Only meat dish not worth it was the $45 lamb ribs. But the cumin lamb skewers were amazing. Eggplant, awesome. Other dishes I didn't get the name of were awesome too. Noodles looked bad fyi. Definitely not their strong suit. The place was also looking a bit worn out. But if you're not fussy about that, would recommend for the food.“

“Quality and taste is the same everytime you visit.“

“The spicy beef noodle had good portion and was very spicy, but wasn't the kind I would finish the soup for as after a while the taste seemed to turn sweet. It tasted very similar to Bubble World's but with a bit more herbal taste. Beef chow fun was amazing and pretty large portion enough for 2 people.“

“I always have had a good experience in the 15 years I’ve been coming here. Heidi and all the staff are wonderful. I love supporting them and seeing everyone. The large portions for dinner are incredible for the price!!! I always have left overs. I love that they offer many vegetarian options too. They offer many Canadian-Chinese dishes and traditional Chinese dishes with some Canadian/American favourites (like hamburgers). I recommend the mushroom fried rice, onion pancakes (it’s like rosti), or the bean spout chow mein... especially with the chili oil they offer at each table. But the big plate of broccoli in garlic sauce is my favorite if you want something light but filling. They also offer it with Chinese broccoli. My friends and family love the daily specials and combo plates... if you don’t want a big plate of 1 big thing, the combos plates let you get 3 of the main dishes: a fried rice, a chow mein, sweet and sour pork or chicken, etc. For Family dinners they even offer a family combo “dinner for 2/4/6/etc” and have different daily specials. They also offer breakfast, dim sum, wonton soup, and other items. I also recommend their french fries. They SO good but they always come fresh hot and crispy. (Just really good simple fries.) They used to be known as the Austin Heights Diner (1989-2013) if you’ve been a longtime resident of coquitlam, I urge you visit them at their new location.“

“This was my first time trying potato noodles, and I really enjoyed the chewy texture! I went with medium spiciness, which was perfectly spicy without upsetting my stomach. It was so good I ordered takeout a few days later, and it tasted just as good as dining in with the claypot.“

“best bbq meat, it's all delicious. a treat ✨️“

“I am back from Toronto and visiting with family. We were looking for a good rice noodle restaurant to try. We found this based off of reviews and it was very good. It was Sunday 12 noon and we were able to get a table for 5; no wait. We had BBQ pork rice rolls, pork congee, curry fish balls and deep fried donuts. The food was tasty and fresh. The price was very reasonable. I would return here on my next visit back here.“

“Food is great, service is as friendly as you'll get at a Chinese restaurant, atmosphere is loud. May not be your cup of tea if you're looking for a peaceful, slow paced meal.

Highly recc the king crab. We've ordered it here several times and it's always been juicy! The fried garlic version is not as spicy as other locations, but still tasty overall.

Make sure to make a reso for dinner though - gets quite busy, even on weekday evenings.“
