I had such a cozy and satisfying meal at CHJ Bistro! The vibe here is super warm and welcoming — perfect for a casual meal or a little food adventure. The service was friendly and fast, and you can really tell the staff care about what they’re serving.

Checked out this Taiwanese restaurant in Steveston Village for the first time over the weekend. The place is on the smaller side and it can get quite busy during peak hours. Prepare to wait in line or come right at opening to avoid the crowds. Not sure how authentic the food is but everything we had was pretty good. Portions were ample and prices were reasonable given its location. A great place to try out if you’re in the area.

One of the worse taiwanese food I've had. The braised pork so so dry to the point I can only eat 2 pieces.. looks like they just reheated Old pork and threw it into the rice. The friend tentacles were so tough to eat, and the rest of the items we ordered was less than acceptable. Please improve on your cooking or at least try your food before serving. You used to be good.

Mid Dec2024 Taiwanese resto nearby the pier that offers a wide range of regional fare. The menu is quite extensive and serving sizes are very generous. Lots of traditional staple favorites offered.

A suitable place to have a shared warm meal esp during the cold season.

Attentive and helpful staff.

The place is very rustic and feels like a bar of sorts with dark interiors and kooky decor giving it a country cozy feel.

Ideal for groups and shared meals.

The two of us ordered a bowl of half-gluten and half-meat beef noodles, a plate of big braised steamed buns and oyster omelets. We were very satisfied with all three of them. It’s the taste of Taiwan👅

The $23 big braised buns are very rich in ingredients, including beef, sweet and spicy, squid balls, rice blood cakes, prince noodles, as well as excellent cheese balls and tofu. The braised flavor is accompanied by a slight numbing taste, very delicious! The clerk said you can choose the spiciness level, we chose light spicy, which was good!

The noodles of the beef noodles are also very textured, the beef tendons are soft and flavourful🥳

Oyster omelet is very Taiwanese, the oysters are large and fresh, and you can actually eat oyster omelet with crispy edges in Vancouver🤩🤩It restores the taste of Taiwan, and it also has the sauce from Taiwan’s night market, which is great😆
It is recommended not to add too many bamboo shoots to the dish, as I personally don’t like the taste of bamboo shoots.
We also ordered a glass of pineapple milk, which has a touch of pineapple fruit flavor and pulp, and is very sweet and suitable for drinking in winter.
In summary, I haven’t eaten such high-quality Taiwanese food in Vancouver for a long time. It suits our Asian stomach. Highly recommended👍🏻👍🏻

The store is on the 2nd floor, so don't miss it. Forgot to take pictures. My review is the most Taiwanese food in Vancouver! ! ! Non-Taiwanese people will be invited to eat authentic Taiwanese food.
Stinky tofu is smelly and delicious. I used to miss stinky tofu and went to *Xiang (just fried tofu) to eat it. I was very disappointed and will not eat stinky tofu there again. The taste of CHJ stinky tofu - it's just like Taiwanese stinky tofu. It still smells bad when you take it home after eating it! The oyster noodles include oysters and large intestine (the built-in large intestine is cut into "sections", which is very satisfying). The fried Nangang platter has four kinds of snacks, so you can taste different foods, which is good.

Parking: I avoided dinner time and went there after dinner time. There were few people on the street that day and there were street parking spaces. I parked right below the stairs. The restaurant is on the right as soon as I go up the stairs.
If there is no parking space, there is a paid parking space behind the restaurant. It was dark and I didn't go in to see it.

The salty crispy chicken rice taken out was not cooked through and was inedible. Didn’t you check the quality of the food when you were preparing it? The side dishes that come with the meal are also randomly prepared. Can't you stir-fry cauliflower and put some roots as a side dish? I have to use a terrible cold dish. Could you please use some snacks and put some effort into it? The profit from a bento is big enough.

Great Taiwanese food at a reasonable price. We had the Taiwanese sausage, drop fried chicken nuggets and beef noodle, all of them were great and came fast.
