50 Best Chinese Restaurants near New Westminster

“Lovely framed professional-looking photographs on the wall inside the restaurant. There were all these cute drawings too, including a happy mouse holding a little lantern with his tail! Pictured: tofu and veggie soup noodles, and various sauces provided.“

“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.“

“During holidays and festivals, if you're planning to sample local delicacies with your family, Kirin Seafood Restaurant is an unmissable choice. The atmosphere here, with the whole family gathered around the table enjoying each dish, is sure to leave a lasting impression. The ingredients, whether from the sea or land, are incredibly fresh and delicious. The typical dishes from Hong Kong and various provinces are unforgettable. Parking is convenient, with both indoor and outdoor options. While the bill might be a bit high, the delicious food and the warm, harmonious family atmosphere make it all worthwhile!“

“I come in almost once a month and in my order is almost always ginger beef. Something has changed in the ingredients because my kids and I loved eating it, taste so good. Now it’s so spicy we can’t even finish it and end up throwing it out!
Disappointment they seemed to have changed the ingredients and added way too much spice to it. I wish it was labeled on their menu but nothing indicates they recently changed it but I can definitely tell. Otherwise their food is always good and used to stay consistent but I also noticed in the fried rice they use way less egg then they did before ad well. It’s still our go to spot for Chinese food.“

“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“

“Havent been to this place since I was a teenager and it definitely lives up to the positive memories.

Great lunch combos with huge portions that are big enough to share, or save for later. The vegetarian potstickers and black bean spareribs were a a standout.“

“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.“

“Very nice place! We were seated immediately by our server Fanny she was very friendly!
We ordered some spring rolls a chicken and rice dish with mixed vegetables sweet and sour spareribs and some very tasty hot and sour soup !
Our order came within like 10 to 15 minutes after ordering. We couldn't finish the soup and I ate it for 2 meals later that week. Price was very reasonable $45.89!! can't beat the price and I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants and chinese tea is always usually free!
So I would recommend you try this place you won't be disappointed !“

“Some of, if not the, best Chinese food I’ve had outside of China! I had the Minced Pork Glass Noodles, medium spice. It definitely had a kick, and was so absolutely delicious I will be dreaming about it for a long time. My friend had the chili wontons and enjoyed them. We were given free (I think lychee) jelly for dessert! Highly recommend this restaurant. The interior design is wonderful, and our server was great!“

“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.“

“Just a heads-up: this place is right next door to another restaurant, and it’s easy to walk into the wrong one—I actually made that mistake myself.

Once inside, the decor has a beautiful, ancient Chinese feel. We ordered a spice level 2 for Sichuan-style fish and smoked bamboo shoots with pork, and while both dishes definitely had a kick, they were deliciously spicy. That Sichuan fish was literal perfection—so melt-in-your-mouth tender it was a dream with the steamed rice. But the real sleeper hit? The smoked bamboo shoots. The texture was incredible and the smoky flavor was so addictive we couldn't stop eating it!“

“Joojak Restaurant was a great find. The food was delicious and full of flavor, with dishes that felt distinct from the typical Chinese fare you usually see. The Northern Chinese influence really comes through—rich, savory flavors without being overly spicy. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!

In addition, the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She took the time to help us choose items from the menu and made sure we were happy and enjoying the meal. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying new items!“

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

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

“The food was great, delicious we ordered the family combos and dimsum was exquisite. Portions were big platters tasty
Friendly and professional service
Celebrated a birthday and they even gave us free noodles to believe for long life
Thank you for a wonderful experience“

“Had a wonderful dim sum experience at this harbor-side tea house! The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was so cozy and inviting, with lovely views adding to the relaxing vibe. Service was exceptional too; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. A perfect spot for a leisurely meal. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Be patient as this ownership group are getting their systems in place. Based on the genuine friendly staff they just need to sort out the timing in being attentive to each group of diners. The food is excellent quality and ideal for all age groups to digest.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I really enjoy this place.

Every time I come to Burnaby for school I make it a regular treat to come here for 12x Wonderful spicy Wonton with peanuts, and either their House Hot Noodles or their Dan Dan noodles. (Both Medium) as they have a heavy hand with spicy but I always love both when I get them. If youre getting it to go, ask for the noodles and broth to be split up. Its such a great spot when youre hungry. For 20$ you'll absolutely be full full full.“

“Busy busy place. Went there for dim dim as a large group. Reservations a must as there is always long line ups. Food was hot and portions were generous. We missed the special pricing as it was a holiday so it didn't apply. Still good value.“

“love this place! been here multiple times! portions are great for large groups. service is very good. normally i ordered the duck, this time, we tried spicy basa fish! and it’s really good! parking is also available at the back! a great place for spicy food lover! definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“Came here for lunch with family and it didn't disappoint. Serving authentic Norther Chinese cuisine, they are know for their hand-pulled noodles and broth-based noodle soups. Check out their wall as they have specials that are not on the menu.

We ordered 2 combos for the 3 of us:
- Noodle with Meat Sauce, Five Spice Beef + Pop
- Lamb Chow Mein with Cumin, Pork Jelly + Pop

All the dishes were delicious especially the Five Spice Beef and Lamb Chow Mein. Service was decent and limited sitting space so come with a smaller party. Will come back here again to try other dishes.“

“A good, honest, but typically modest small Chinese restaurant. He cooks, she serves and sometimes one of their offspring help out. My wife and I go there often because we know we can get a good, tasty meal of sufficient size to tame our hunger, all at a reasonable price. There are plenty of similar restaurants, but the quality of the cooks vary and is why one wants to discover one that is consistently good. If you are looking for a go-to place for Chinese food for an informal lunch, try this place out. Hard to imagine being disappointed unless you were expecting white table cloths and fine wine for under $20.“

“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!“

“I ordered the Dapan (Big Plate) Chicken. The food was good, though not my favourite. It was spicy and came with chicken, laghman (belt noodles), potatoes, and green and red peppers. You may want to order it to go, as it was served on a paper plate, which wasn’t very steady, and you can’t take leftovers home if you don’t finish. There’s also no free tap water available, even when asked, so keep that in mind. Be prepared to wait about 20 minutes for your food, as there’s only one person handling both orders and cooking.“

“Everyone in our group was really happy with both the flavor and quality of the food. They serve dishes you don’t often see in other restaurants, and they know how to make them right, like the Chinese pickled long beans with pork, which is a family favorite! The spicy sour fish was also spot on. It’s a small place, but very clean, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is my go to for chinese skewers. It's made fresh and service is fast. I always have a good time when I'm here. The seasoning of the meat is very delicious. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but always manage to find one a block away.“

“Friendly family run breakfast noodle shop located in the food court attached to T&T in Surrey.

The prices here are very decent and the front counter team is very friendly. They usually have a decent sized line of people - so be prepared to wait a little bit.

It’s good to satisfy a morning noodle craving.“

“It is not a typical restaurant you would chose but we heard good things about the menue, quality and price ratio and gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was a warm hug on a cold and rainy day. Just like my grandmother would have made it. The hotpot dish was a nice crowning to keep the heat in the body. The flavourful combination of tofu,meat, aubergine and spice was great the dessert of mango pudding and the redbean dessert gave it a nice round up to the already hearty meal. The journey from north Vancouver was worth it.“

“I have eaten at Burnaby Palace many times so I know the food is very good. This was the first time I placed an online order for delivery and It went smoothly. The food was prepared exactly as I requested. I had asked a few items to only be mildly spicy and they were prepared perfectly! We ordered 6 dishes and all of them were fresh and delicious! Will definitely be ordering from them again if not dining in!“

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

“🍲 Fortune Lamb Dining (鸿羊轩) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 An excellent restaurant for lamb lovers! The dishes are flavorful, authentic, and perfectly cooked. I ordered the Chinese cabbage four great and the lamb chop in a dry pot, both of which were outstanding—tender, juicy, and packed with rich spices and aroma. 🐑🔥

💁🏼 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to serve. They made great recommendations and ensured everything came out fresh and hot. 👏🏼😊

🍽️ Environment: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 The restaurant is clean, cozy, and comfortable—an ideal place to enjoy hearty lamb dishes with friends or family. Note that there’s street parking only, so plan a few extra minutes to find a spot. 🚗✨“

“Fairly large portion for the price. Lots of savoury tender pieces of lamb generously seasoned with cumin spice and a hint of chili heat. The onions and scallions were fresh and fragrant. I waited about 15-16 mins for the food, which seemed a bit slow for a food court but I didn’t mind knowing it was made to order as everything was fresh and hot when I picked it up. You can choose to eat in the food court (plenty of seating) or take away. This Taiwanese food stall seemed pretty busy with the most popular item being the Taiwanese crispy fried chicken nuggets…I think I might try that next time I’m in the Henderson Ctr mall.“

“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.“

“May Rice Roll & Congee Chinese Restaurant is a solid 4-star neighbourhood spot for a simple Chinese breakfast or lunch. The rice rolls and congee were fairly average, but it’s a good option when you’re craving something mild and comforting. The owner/server was very kind and welcoming, which added to the experience. Overall, it’s a cozy local place with a steady stream of regulars—nothing fancy, but dependable and relaxed.“

“Where in Vancouver can you get a feast for 6 for $138, Cantonese carrot and pork bone soup and red bean dessert included?

Good portions as we only barely finished 3 of the 5 dishes, all from the set.

We had the set dinner (紅雞魚二食 十 3餸)

For the 3 dishes of our choice, we didn't go for a vegetable dish although we always needed veggies in our dinner because one course of the two dishes using the red eye fish has Choi sum and the other fish has deep fried tofu.

I think the set is still a good portion for bigger eaters than us.

Check out there set menu for other options (lobster, snow crab 2-way, Peking duck 2-way).“

“Highly recommended! The
excellent customer service from the hardworking staff is truly appreciated. The food is
delicious, and this place is always bustling - a testament to its popularity, especially for its
famous Siopao, a favorite among Filipino food lovers. Be prepared for a line, but it's well worth the wait!“

“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.“

“I went to the Vancouver branch some years ago. I remember it being really good, so I visited the Coquitlam branch. It did not disappoint.

We ordered the beef rolls, pan fried pork, sweet and sour chicken, young chow fried rice, vegetarian noodles, hot and sour dumplings, a s Xiao long bao. Everything's really good.

The only thing I didn't like about is how cold it is inside the restaurant. They had portable heaters on but it wasn't enough to make the whole restaurant warm. Probably their heater wasn't working that day.

But other than that, we enjoyed eating in Peaceful restaurant in Coquitlam.

Vegetarian options: Yes they have vegetarian options as my daughter is vegetarian, we didn't have a hard time choosing food for her.“

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