50 Best Chinese Restaurants near New Westminster

“We had a wonderful family dinner at this Chinese restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Great service and a warm atmosphere—definitely a place we’ll come back to again. Highly recommended! 🍜😊“

“This is a very small noodle house in New Westminster by the train station and above Safeway. The eatery is tiny but it has a cozy atmosphere. It looks like a family run business. What's great and unique about this noodle house is that they make the noodles by hand everytime you order.

We had two noodle dishes and we liked them both. The portion were very generous and the price reasonable. For two noodle dishes, and an order of green onions cakes it came to $47.71 and we brought home lots of food for many days.

We will return and try other dishes like soup as other patrons had and they looked good. Recommended!“

“Hidden Gem 💎!!! Michelin star worthy deliciousness. Tried the Mulukia with lamb and injera bread which was gobsmackingly delicious. So flavourful and interactive being able to use the injera bread as your utensil to pick up the lamb stew with jute leaves. Comes with a healthy salad and refreshingly spicy peanut sauce too. Mom and pop shop with excellent down to earth service. Can’t wait to return. Food is made fresh to order so it’s not fast food… but it’s worth the wait. The place has character, if you go in person, you’ll see what I mean.“

“Very good Taiwanese restaurant and one of the few in the city that still maintains consistently high quality.

The food tastes authentic, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving authentic Taiwanese food.“

“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“

“was my first time here, ordered take out & it was so good! the chow mein dishes and crispy spicy chicken were bomb! the portions are very generous, it fed 4 of us and we still have some leftovers as well ✨the service was very friendly and welcoming! would definitely come back!“

“It was a wedding banquet of 200+ guests. The menu chosen by the host families was excellent and deliciously cooked, well served by the staff. We totally enjoyed the meal. The only thing was that we weren't able to hear most of what was going on since the sound system was not loud or comprehensive enough for the whole party...

It's very hard to find the place and even with Google map's help...twisting and turning to go to the parking... The restaurant sign was not bright at all so people missed it. After dinner, it was late and the parking lot was not well light, roads were dark... Not good.“

“My husband and I stopped in at Han Lin Noodle House last Saturday after a little walk along the waterfront, and we were so glad we did. The beef brisket noodle soup was absolutely wonderful - rich broth, tender meat, and a generous portion that kept us full for the rest of the afternoon. The staff were warm and attentive without being overbearing, which we always appreciate. If you are in New Westminster looking for a satisfying, no-fuss meal, this is the spot.“

“If I could give more stars for the food and service it would be 10s
Only downfall, it was a tad chilly, but the weather had just turned from a hot day... Definitely will be back, unfortunately I'm from out of town or this would be my go to place for food. Obviously others feel the same by the amount of deliveries going out 🤣🤣“

“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!!!

“Really excellent shop. They very clearly take pride in the food they serve and it shows. The house made noodles are fantastic, and the owner showed us how the filled dumplings were best enjoyed. Great food and an owner that really cares about the quality of her food. We will 100% be coming back when we are in Burnaby next.“

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

“Please order these 3 delicious vegetarian choices! 🫪🙆‍♀they are little spicy with spectacular flavour! The owner was so nice to us and offered a dessert that’s perfect for summer, we had a nice time here super thank you !“

“Great service and delicious food! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The broth was flavorful and everything tasted amazing. I’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place!“

“Can’t believe I haven’t come here sooner! Fantastic, flavourful food. We got the chow mein and tofu cabbage stir fry - they have plenty of vegan options and can make it with less oil and spice is customizable. Will def be back!“

“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.“

“Got recommended to come here by a friend.

I got a variety of items to share with my family such as the spinach noodles, green beans, pan fried dumplings, and wonton soup and all of them tasted fantastic! The chili oil is really good as well, perfect kick and flavor. Not to mention they all came pretty quickly.

The service was amazing, everyone was super nice and were fun to be around! It's small and cozy and I would 100% recommend.“

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

“The food was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and freshly prepared. The dry pot dish was especially crispy and flavorful, with a great texture and plenty of seasoning without being overwhelming. The sweet-and-sour pork (锅包肉) was excellent as well—the coating was just the right thickness, crispy on the outside without being too heavy, and the flavor tasted very authentic and traditional. The Big Plate Chicken (大盘鸡) was another highlight, with a generous amount of tender, meaty chicken and a rich, flavorful chicken taste. I also really enjoyed watching the hand-pulled noodles being freshly made on site, which added a nice authentic touch to the dining experience. On top of the great food, the service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and a great atmosphere.“

“I visit weekly or biweekly, by now probably have tried most of their menu items. If you love Chinese with a northern flavour, highly recommend this place! The service here is also top notch.

We eat dinner early so we always get seats. There are free parking at the back but we tend to find a nearby street parking.“

“We’ve been here for dim sum a handful of times, and the food is consistently great. Service has always been good as well.

Unfortunately, during our most recent visit, we ordered the hot and sour seafood soup and found a very long black hair in it (and we are all blonde). We let our server know right away, and they were very apologetic and removed the dish from our bill.

That said, we were a bit surprised that nothing further was offered—no small discount or even a dessert on the house. While we appreciated the apology, it felt like a missed opportunity to go a step further in making things right.

A bit disappointing, especially when the “extra ingredient” definitely wasn’t something we ordered.“

“Food is not bad. Had Peking duck and some other dishes. Food is flavorful but some may find it salty. I feel like they use too much MSG..

The Peking duck is not too bad, but I definitely had better locally. The skin is crispy but the meat wasn't very tender.

Prices, though, are a bit too high for what you get.“

“We’ve been coming here for at least 16 years. I wish I took more photos of this last visit, but we just scarfed all of our delicious food down. Make sure to get the shrimp balls 🦐⚽🏀🥎 Everything is always fresh and the service has always been great from everyone, but especially Victor. He’s the very best! There’s $20 AYCE now, so no excuse not to try Happy Lamb at least once…you’ll definitely be back! The impressive drink vending machine alone is worth a visit 😃“

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

“Good, cozy, and clean would come back.

Ordered gamjatang hotpot. Very generous amount of meat, veggies and ricecake.

Love the side dishes and staff are nice to ask if we wanted refills on them. Overall, really good meal and good value.“

“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.“

“Lovely couple run the restaurant, the decor is plain but who cares when the food is so delicious. I felt the price was reasonable for the fantastic quality and others that joined our dinner said it was the best they’ve had. I will definitely be back and this place will be my “go to” for delicious Asian food.“

“I used a $20 off with $100 purchase ended paying $40 all in for 3 seniors. So I gave it 4 stars
If I have to pay regular price, then I might just give it 3 stars.
The regular price is over priced.

Pretty confused at first because the waiter told us to order from the tablet then told us to go to the buffet bar to get the rest. The tablet menu didn't have prawns but the buffet bar did. We weren't sure if there was extra charge.

Good selection of sauces and dessert bar. Also ended with a yummy yam ice cream.“

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

“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 today based on a strong recommendation from local foodies, and it did not disappoint! The food is super tasty with amazing wok-fried skill and great aroma. We loved the comforting soup and rice pairing. The portion sizes offer great value, and ending the meal with their mango pudding dessert was a sweet touch.
Comfortable sitting area with easy parking slots. Huge shoutout to the waiters who were so polite, warm, and attentive throughout our visit. Despite busy environment but keeping a great smile and serving us and recommending the great dishes to us! Multi-languages and fluent Cantonese and feel like home in Hong Kong.
Highly recommend to reserve a day to walk around Port Moody and book a table to this hidden gem! We will be back!“

“Decent service. I ordered the dan dan noodles and salt and pepper chicken. The chicken was really good - juicy on the inside and not dry at all. The dan dan noodles came in a big portion, but I had to add some chili oil to make it spicier. The restaurant was a bit dark inside.“

“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.“

“Is life even worth living? I drove three hours from Seattle only to be met by closed doors. Disappointedly, I had to settle for the Hainanese chicken spot 2 feet away.

This was the first time I’ve cheated on my favorite noodle shop and I will regret it every day for the rest of my life.

Peace and love,

“This is one of the more waiting time restaurants in the mall and some parts are interesting to say the least. But the food is still good. The wait time was 30 minutes but he tasted the soup twice and grabbed the food with his bare hands twice. Would recommend for the meat pie but not for the sanitarian reason.“

“One of the most authentic Taiwanese eats I’ve had in Vancouver/Burnaby area. Beef noodle soup was loaded with veggies and tender beef, the sides were just like how my mom used to make.
Fried tofu 5/5, MUST GET! Sauce with this tofu is delicious.
Stir fried cabbage, 5/5 simple flavour
salt and pepper chicken, 5/5 so yum
Deep fried squid tentacles, 3.8/5 personally squid is not my favourite but batter is still crispy. If you love fried squid it’s worth getting to try.
Place is hidden in the corner of crystal mall, glad we found it!
Cute small space to eat at and nice friendly staff. Will be back!“

“Go to comfort Chinese food. Wonderful menu with many of my long time favourites. BBQ is on point very tasty.

Always leave with big smile and fully satisfied cravings.

Good people here, I feel very good vibes.“

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

“Today I had dine with friends the food was amazing we loved it . Service was top notch bhavneet is very good server definitely recommend others“

“I HAVE BEEN THIS PLACE MANY TIMES, NICE FAMILY RESTAURANT,VERY GOOD SERVICE,DELICIOUS FOOD,“

“今天試過了。好食。 無味精。會再番黎“

“This is our go to whenever we have small or big family gatherings. Fortune City has a good variety of Chinese dishes, ranging from soups, noodles, rice, vegetables and protein!
The dishes do have the “wok hei” which is something im always looking for when I try out a new restaurant. They have been consistent with their food quality and service. The reason why I gave it a lower score on the atmosphere is the restaurant is quite dated and the interior hasn’t really changed for many years. The bathrooms, especially for the men’s, can be cleaned and maintained a bit better. The chairs and tables are fine, but at times the seats have big stains or tears. Again, nothing to do with the food but does affect the overall rating!
Their dinner sets are pretty good if you have a big group. The noise can get quite loud but expected especially during peak dinner hours or on the weekends. My recommendation is to book ahead of time and reserve a table. Dim sum is also good here, though the only drawback again is sometimes when it is busy, even when you have reserved a table, you might get put on a wait list still. There aren’t too many good spots in Vancouver left like this place, I would recommend it overall to anyone, both new to Chinese food or have been looking for anther place to add to their go-to list!“

“May is a wonderfully bubbly personality. Don't be surprised if she remembers you; even if months have passed. She calls her regulars her boyfriends or girlfriends. And yes, the food is consistently delicious. Rice rolls and congee are simple ingredients that take a deft touch to produce greatness. Surprisingly, rice isn't light. I'm surprised to find myself stuffed and more than satisfied as I roll myself away.“

“We've visited this place multiple times as a family and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious and the overall dining experience keeps us coming back. Most of the staff are warm and attentive. A couple of servers were a bit reserved, but it didn't take away from our experience at all. The only minor inconvenience is parking - it can get quite tight depending on the time you visit, so plan accordingly.“

“This is the best place for Filipino siopao and pancit guisado. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm smiles of the friendly staff who truly make you feel at home.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly their famous BBQ pork buns—soft, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. I also indulged in their delectable steamed dumplings, which were perfectly cooked and incredibly fresh. The crispy spring rolls were a fantastic appetizer, with just the right amount of crunch.

Don’t miss out on their incredible pastries, either! The egg tarts are a must-try; they’re creamy, sweet, and the crust is just divine.

While parking can be a bit tricky during rush hours, it’s absolutely worth it for the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend New Town Bakery and Restaurant to everyone looking for a delightful dining experience!“

“Great Chinese food, generous portions & fab bakery.“

“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.“

“Among Korean-Chinese restaurants in Burnaby, which often leave a little to be desired, this place is the most satisfying.
I can proudly call myself a loyal regular! I’m always so busy eating that I forget to take photos. The service is friendly, and the food quality is consistently good. It's slightly on the saltier side, but overall a solid dining experience. I’d recommend No. 19 and the small Tangsu-yuk for two people. However, the current Tangsu-yuk has too much batter, so I’d love to see a premium option packed with thick, meaty cuts even at a higher price point!“

“Food was excellent -- our compliments to the chef(s), especially for the duck egg yolk sauce with the 7.5 lb lobster that fed 10 persons and the special order spatchcocked (flattened) crispy skinned chicken stuffed with sticky rice!
All other 7 dishes were tasty too:
The soup
The 2-way Peking duck,.
The sour plum pork chop
The bitter melon w beef
The stir fried garlic pea tips.
The eggplant, tofu hot pot.
The tapioca Dessert.
All our birthday guests felt well-fed!

Only negative:
we often had difficulty catching the eye of 1 of the 2 very busy wait staff, to request a refill of hot tea/water pots everytime emptied.“
