50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Port Moody

“Service was amazing. The servers were always checking in, refilling water and tea, took dirty plates and even packaged the leftovers for us. They were also very polite and kind

The food came quickly and was delicious. The Shanghai crispy chicken was my favorite.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I have been going to this place for about 5 years consistently, they even know our order the second we call each time. Amazing staff, beautiful restaurant, and delicious food. This is one of my top recommendations for restaurants! We order the beef and broccoli lunch special, and the green beans with pork is extremely delicious as well!!!“

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

“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!“

“Authentic Northern Chinese hand pulled/cut noodles. We ordered a spicy cold noodle and an order of pork and vegetable dumplings (SUPER JUICY), the portions were pretty big and the price is reasonable. Family run restaurant with a lot of options. Will definitely come back again. We wish we had more time and people with us so we could have ordered MORE.

Went in for a quick dinner before a movie next door with...30min to spare. Mentioned that while ordering and they were very nice to accommodate and speed up the service.“

“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.“

“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 🥰😋😋❤“

“今天試過了。好食。 無味精。會再番黎“

“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.“

“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!“

“Did take out from this place for the first time, very reasonable for the quality of the food they serve. The owner is a sweet person who does a great job looking after her guests. Give this neighbourhood restaurant a chance, I was happy with my lunch. Szechuan chicken with rice and hot and sour soup. Will be 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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kirin restaurants are always top notch when it comes to Chinese banquet-style dishes. This location is next to Starlight casino, which might not be the easiest place to visit on a rainy evening. I was expecting a bigger crowd in the evening but it was good that our table received prompt attention.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered for the first time since our usual restaurant is no longer an option… I wish I found this restaurant sooner! Food was absolutely delicious! Flavourful n so elevated, not greasy and such clean bold tasting! 100% recommend n will definitely make this my go to from now on!“

“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!“

“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 ✨️“

“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.“

“A classic Chinese restaurant. The menu has plenty to choose from, with food variation and options. Classic, unfussy decor - which is a good thing, in my opinion. The beef rolls are a great idea. Super flavourful and satisfying. Worth a try!“

“Best place for hot pot in my opinion, you can not go wrong with their sauces station and the meals are decently priced so it affordable and you can go 3 rounds so trying different options for meat or veggies or additional items is easy if your stomach can fit it all in“

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

“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!“

“Made significant improvements since I first started coming here. Honoured the birthday deal stacked with the student deal. Food was fresh and service was prompt. Restaurant is generally clean. An excellent choice for hot pot and a great late night option. Ideally suited for parties of 4-6 but can accommodate for larger parties. They are quite busy so it might be a good idea to reserve a table“

“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.“

“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.$$$$$$“

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.“

“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!!!“

“I’ve been going to this restaurant for over 25 years, and it still never disappoints. It’s truly a hidden gem and so underrated — the best Chinese food in Burnaby by far. The lunch special is my favourite! Please keep supporting your local restaurants — places like this are what make the community special.“
