“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.“

“New Chow's Kitchen is now a family favorite. He is always so kind and cheerful when you go to pick up your food.
The food is good, good sized portions. Great combinations for single eaters as well! I recommend the almond chicken, sweet chili chicken and wonton soup.
They did at one point have a delivery service (not sure anymore) that I wouldn't recommend, they guy couldn't find my house and I had to go meet him on the main road.
Not really a place to eat in as it is a very small dining room and more of a take out joint.
Parking: The parking lot is small and is shared with 4 other companies. Depending on the time of day you go, there is always plenty of parking.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly parking. But there is a slight curb to step up to and a ramp further down. The door is heavy, no automatic door opener.“

“Great food at a great price! I had Fuqi Feipian and Claypot beef. Fuqi Feipian was warm for some reason instead of a cold dish, and beef cuts were too thick. The flavour was right on though. The claypot beef was great! The ambience is really dated despite the fancy light fixtures. Kudos to the owner for opening late!“

“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.“

“I visited this unique restaurant few days ago. Love the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Because i visited on Thursday afternoon, they weren't too busy. I ordered the bbq mutton stock and lamb hotpot. Both of them are super delicious. They even customised the spiciness to my like. I had a very pleasant conversation with the owner. And I revisited again 3 days later to try out other variety. If you like spicy food, I would definitely recommend this.
Parking: There are more parking lots at the back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing, quality of ingredients as well as just the combination of flavors is awesome and to get anything similar you would have to travel hours.
Anyone complaining about how long it takes should order in advance rather than post invalid reviews, food like this HAS TO TAKE TIME which is why it tastes how good it is, if you can’t wait this long for something out of this world go get fast food.
City is blessed to have such a talented chef willing to share his food.“

“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.“

“A welcoming hello upon entering and exceptional service, ensuring you are seated and served quickly. The food was delicious. I let my daughter and her partner order some sharing dishes. (Large size portions) The only thing that was missed was the kimchi which apparently used to be served instead of the pickled radishes. This was my daughters wish as she loves kimchi.“

“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 am so glad that I found this place! It is going to be my "go to" Chinese food restaurant from now on. Best bang for your buck (ie: your dishes are not overtaken by onion "filler"). Friendly and quick service, delicious food with quality ingredients.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I came here May 13, 2025 at 4:30PM and I must say this place is phenomenal! We had fast service and their food was very tasty. We were constantly topped off for water and tea and got a to-go box without even asking for one! They even gave us extra fortune cookies because they overheard we were talking about giving our leftovers to our mom. This is a restaurant that truly cares about their customers. I will gladly come back here again.“

“Ordered a special bday dinner for my mom. It's was delivered right on time, food was fresh, hot, and tasty. We had been disappointed last time but they made up for it today!“
“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.“

“This pizza, it is absolutely phenomenal and the price is incredible. The driver even brought me a plastic cup double cupped, because I had ordered a two liter seven 7up. It was the perfect addition to my large pizza. Then add the delivery.And it only came up to twenty seven dollars. I'm being on a budget after moving.
It was the perfect addition to a very tiring night and day ..... I give this place a thousand percent rating of perfection.$$$$$$“

“This little family restaurants reminds me of the one my grandparents had. Their sweet and sour pork brings back so many memories. It's the kind of cooking that reminds you why these dishes became classics in the first place. My favs include the wonton soup and the squid with spicy salt. Support local!!!“

“Authentic and homemade tasting dishes. My only gripes are their waiting times (often quite long) and their unpredictable starting hours. I’ve often gone to Henderson Mall with the sole purpose of eating at Tong’s, only for them to be unexpectedly closed or delayed in opening by multiple hours.Considering that this is just a mom-and-pop food court stall, they still deserve 5 stars from the delicious food alone.“

June. 12/25:
We live in ND and we were pretty panicked about finding a replacement since our favourite Cantonese style local restaurant closed.
Located close by in Surrey, Main Choice has been mentioned quite often in our FB community group.
The present owner of 6 years appears to make the deliveries.
Katie our server was super friendly and absolutely accommodating of our preferences (1/2 soya, no soya and no extra MSG), double checking a few times.
As this was our first visit to this no frills (some might say hole-in-the-wall) restaurant we were pleased to see their prices are much better than most chinese restaurants.
We ordered specifically to compare to what we’re used to and happy to say we’ve found our new favourite that’s a short 10 min drive from home.
The Beef Chow Fun is easily close to $30 everywhere else…their price $16.45 was as good as any we’ve had.
Also ordered: Spicy Green Beans $15.50, Special Fried Rice $15.25 and Honey Garlic Spareribs (bone in) $17.75.
No tea charge.
Dishes came quickly one after the other and delicious.
Seems they mostly get take-out and delivery orders.
Located in a strip mall with limited parking.
All forms of payment accepted.“

“Excellent food and service“
“Fair portion of food. I highly recommend the Singapore Noodle bowl, it is very good. The beef soup is good, but they tend to compare it to pho, which is nothing like pho, but it is good for what it is. The customer service is great! I come here every now and then and I've never had a bad experience. I come here just for the food for the most part. The prices are quite decent for the portion and quality ? I love it. I shared a pic of my nearly finished Singapore noodle, smelt and tasted so good I didnt want to wait to take a picture“

“Our go-to spot in Austin Heights!
We’re always getting our food from J’s Wok—it’s consistently amazing! The sweetest couple runs the restaurant, and you can really feel the care they put into everything. It’s such a hidden gem, a true hole-in-the-wall that never disappoints. Love having this place in the neighborhood!“

“We ordered the Ra Jo Yuk Gourmet Dish (spicy pork with mixed vegetables), which was not what I meant to order—I had my heart set on the spicy hot and sour version, but hey, at least I tried something new. Alongside that, we got a half seafood noodle and half Ja Jang Mian, plus a stir fried rice.
This is definitely what I would call home style Korean Chinese cooking. If you are used to places like Chiu Hong in Surrey, where flavours are bold, sweet, salty and aggressive in the best way, this is much more gentle. The Ja Jang Mian here is less sweet. The pork sauce has less salt, sugar and ginger. The seafood noodle is also much milder in spice.
At first, my taste buds were like “huh?” expecting more punch. But then my rational side kicked in and said, this is like going to your Korean friend’s house and having their grandma make you a meal. It is warm, balanced and does not leave you chugging water for hours afterward. That is worth something.
As for the banchan—it is very modest. Just yellow daikon and raw onions with hoisin sauce. I could not help but laugh a little. It feels honest, like the kitchen is just saying, “Here’s a little crunch to keep you company.”
So even though the flavours are not as intense as I usually go for, I appreciate the clean and home cooked feel. For that, I am giving it 4 stars. It is a comforting, simple spot that feels like it came from a family kitchen.“

excellent customer service from the hardworking staff is truly appreciated. The food is

famous Siopao, a favorite among Filipino food lovers. Be prepared for a line, but it's well worth the wait!“

“We decided to try somewhere new and picked this place. The food was good over all. We tried many items the only real standout item was the shrimp spring rolls. The flavor and texture was perfect and I would come back just for it. The rice wrap was my 2nd favorite item I had. The rest of the food was good but not wow good.
The staff were good over all we had a few items we ordered missed and some stuff added that we did not order. The extra items they noticed before we did and confirmed was a mistake and corrected it. This was impressive missing 2 items we ordered was not so much (we were not charged).
They were super busy so I can understand missing a few things. I would go back and try again.“

“When you’re craving North American style Canto cuisine, or if fried rice and noodles are your comfort food, and you’re in the “Royal City” of New West, then you should drop in to this Chinese restaurant for ginger beef (invented in Calgary), spring rolls, wonton noodles, and egg foo young. I ordered the pictured “Combo F” that contained 6 deep fried (heavily battered) prawns, a generous amount of tasty ginger beef and a large portion of bbq pork fried rice that had that “wok-hei” flame kissed taste. I heard a lot of Cantonese being yelled out in the back so even though the menu caters to the local North American tastes, the chef in the back is “legit.” The portion size was enormous for this Combo plate. This is much better than that mall-style food court Canadian-Chinese precooked food that gets scooped to order. This was made to order but had a very short and reasonable waiting time.“

“I have been a North Garden customer for over five years and I have only good things to say about the delicious food and friendly service of this family-run restaurant.
Our favourite takeout order is their wonton soup, beef and broccoli, and chicken chow mein. If you eat in the restaurant, try their lemon chicken, which is delightfully crispy without being greasy.
This is a food-first restaurant- the decor isn’t meant for Instagram or a cute selfie. North Garden is all about the tasty, satisfying dishes that have made me a loyal customer.“

“The food was amazing, but we seemed to come at rush hour as the older one of our servers did not speak to us but rather rushed by and tossed menues on the table.
The boba and food were perfect and I particularly enjoyed the Kung pao beef.“

“The portions are so generous and so warm when taken! As well as very affordable! When I spoke Cantonese to the ladies they get so happy and just to let most people know, Cantonese people may sound a bit aggressive and want to get things over with however in Hong Kong it is more like that. It is their style of being fast and efficient and they don’t mean to be rude. In Chinese standards, Hong Kong people are one of the best people at doing business. It’s just a cultural style of working.“

“Noodle dishes are generous. Whether it's fried or in soup, it's got good portions, plus the noodle itself is dense, makes you full for sure
Deep fried dishes though, seems like they don't refresh their oil too often. So maybe a bit careful with their appetizers.“
