Taiwanese Restaurants near North Vancouver, BC

“懷念的高中味“

“Went here on a Friday night and the place was absolutely packed, families, couples, everyone happily slurping away. Even with the lineup, I only waited about 5 minutes, which felt like a small miracle.

The menu is HUGE, so honestly… do yourself a favour and scroll through some review photos before you go. I played it safe and ordered the beef noodle soup with shrimp wontons and asked for the spicy sauce on the side, because once you add it, there’s no going back 😅.

Portion was massive, flavour was amazing, and the soup came out lava hot, so don’t be a hero like me and try to dive in right away.

Also ordered tea, which goes perfectly with the soup and makes you feel like you’re making healthy choices even though you’re destroying a giant bowl of noodles.

Definitely coming back to try more dishes (and some drinks too!). Great spot!“

“Amazing food, great service, would definitely love to visit again.“

“A home style cooking restaurant. The dishes are not elegantly plated it is more like what your family would serve at dinner. The combo is decent value, Miso soup or black tea, rice, fried tofu, stir fried Taiwanese cabbage, and a choice of 2 mains. We choose Kung Pao chicken and satay beef. The decor is basic and a bit run down but the service was quick and the food tasted good. Like many Asian businesses in Metro Vancouver, they prefer cash. You can pay with cash or debit card but if you really want to pay with credit there is a 50¢ charge. They will also charge 50¢ for a takeout container.“

“Very good service and the food is amazing“

“Ordered crispy fried chicken, minced pork rice, wonton noodle, etc. Surprisingly each and every dish is so delicious. This is some real Taiwanness food that I always like. The place is clean and bright, and the staff are very friendly as well! Highly recommended!

Ps: I brought my 5 year old there and he liked it a lot ; )“

“Wow the food is fantastic. It was very difficult to decide on what to try. I ended up with the “hot & sour dumpling soup” and the “beef slice in Chinese pancake.” Both are a must try.“

“最好吃的台菜了~之前去吃了好多次，老公是大陸人也好愛。“

“Stir Fry Clam Fried Chicken“

“The fried chicken is incredibly tender and juicy. The pepper powder is from Taiwan, making it a traditional and delicious ingredient, a representative of Taiwanese cuisine. The plum powder flavor is also highly recommended; the slightly sweet plum aroma sprinkled on the hot chicken cutlet makes it irresistible. For kids, the sweet potato balls are fantastic! And the price is reasonable.“

“Friendly service. Great value. Love the pork belly.“

“Not really sure why they only have 3.8 stars, I think they deserve more. My friend and I meet here today and we really enjoyed our food. The serving was generous and the food was really good. 👍🏼“

“I always order the Egg & Prawn Fried Rice along with the Deep-Fried Squid Tentacles whenever I visit — and they never disappoint. The flavors are consistently satisfying, and the rest of their menu is just as delicious. Definitely one of the best Taiwanese restaurants to try in BC.“

“Food was excellent and great portions. Server was very attentive, but the host not so much. There’s not much of an atmosphere. It would be great to know before ordering that only CAN cash and CAN debits are accepted. Not at time of pay. Only say a sign that said cash and debit card only. But no specification that is only CAN ones. Saves time and confusion.“

“First time visiting Pearl House with friends. We ordered the Clear Broth Beef Noodle Soup，Chicken Thigh Rice and Pork chop Rice— all were delicious and authentic. Service was great, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back to try more dishes!“

“Parker Place food court is packed. Good luck finding an empty table! Stopped by this Taiwanese stall and went for the classics: Salt & Pepper Chicken with rice, plus the Three Cup Chicken & Braised Pork Belly combo. Solid, satisfying Taiwanese comfort food for a food court spot.“

“Ordered garlic cabbage, seafood udon and fried chicken noodle (鹽酥雞麵). Everything tasted super delicious! Staff are amazingly friendly. For sure will visit again🥰 超好吃，員工很友善，很有家的感覺🇨🇦🇹🇼🇭🇰“

“食物質素性價比高，一分錢一分貨“

“I must have been there over a dozen times. I tried many things on their menu.
In general their chicken dishes are all very tasty! The beef in the curry beef or the beef noodle are also tender and juicy, however the noodle was less impressive but decent. The Taiwanese style 卤肉饭 was not bad but my friend really dislike the 红烧肉饭。
If I have to complain about something, it’s one of the side dishes in the combo. Boiled broccoli was okay (not a big fan of broccoli either but it’s okay as broccoli), BUT the stir fried glass noodle was …. pretty bad…really. I will ask for two sides of broccoli next time when I order combo.“

“Huge portions. Good prices , sign on the board is what you pay incl. taxes.

It was quite fast despite being really busy. I prefer takeout from here as the seating for the food court is usually packed.

This time tried the chicken nuggets + rice set meal this came with veggies ,egg and tofu for $14. Chicken is always really fresh , hot and crispy.
Like most stalls it is cash only ( or wechat/ alipay I think ). Sometimes they also have offers / coupons through Fantuan app even for pickup.“

“This Taiwanese restaurant features a pleasant and well-designed interior, giving off a comfortable and modern vibe the moment you walk in. The menu offers a variety of classic Taiwanese comfort dishes, so we decided to try a few staples: beef noodles, braised minced pork on rice (滷肉飯), and the assorted deep-fried platter.

The standout was definitely the braised minced pork on rice — rich, savoury, and aromatic, with the sauce soaking nicely into the rice. The assorted deep-fried platter was also a highlight: crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying, with each item fried to the right texture without being greasy. On the other hand, the beef noodles were just average. The broth and beef were acceptable, but nothing particularly memorable compared to stronger Taiwanese noodle spots.

Overall, it was a reasonable dining experience. The environment is nice, some dishes were genuinely enjoyable, and although not everything stood out, it’s still a place worth trying if you’re in the mood for Taiwanese comfort food.“

“The food came out really fast and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly and provided great service to our group. I could see improvements compared to previous reviews. Wish they keep up the good work. The only downside was the ordering app ..it felt a bit cheap and wasn’t very user-friendly.“

“Good value Taiwanese food.“

“Honestly I think burnaby location offered larger vegetable plates. We ordered premium beef with $34 but it’s actually not tender at all and it’s even heard to tell the difference between pork or beef. All other food and soup are good. It was only a bit disappointed because of the beef quality.“

“Reading these reviews make me so confused! Maybe it’s because I tried it after they put up the “under new management” sign.

Last week I went to Aroma which is on the opposite side of Crystal mall, and has a much higher rating, and was very disappointed with their popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup.

This week I decided to give Hanju a try, and it was far far better. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with the deep fried basil leaves, and the beef in the beef noodle soup just melts in your mouth. No carrot or radish fillers (the taste is there, it’s just not served as chunks) you actually get green veggies. They have some imported Taiwanese drinks as well.

The price is not cheap, but we would come back for our next Taiwanese food craving, especially with baby in tow. They have some children’s books and the seats are a lot more comfortable and clean than its competitor on the other side of the mall.“

“We've tried a few bubble Teas around the city and this was literally the best! Such an under rated place. They used oat milk for our non dairy options that was delicious! Great price on their bubble Teas and they were so friendly. We got the mango milk tea with pearls and Ferrero Rocher slushy bith super delicious. This is our new favorite place.“

“Good food,good location and services are good.“

“Authentic Taiwanese breakfast, taste so good 👍“

“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.“
