The worst food we have ever ordered. It tasted old, no flavor, no sauce on dishes so they were dry. My grandchildren couldn't even finish one wonton saying it tasted gross.

Extremely disappointed in the food from here. We ordered the dinner for 3B and most of it was inedible.

The Sweet and Sour pork was more than 50% fat, it should have been labelled Sweet and Sour Pork Fat.

Both the Fried Rice and Chow Mein were extremely salty and difficult to eat. The only item close to edible was the chop suey, but even then the vegetables were undercooked and it was saltier than is pleasant.

Would recommend avoiding if you want to be able to eat your meal.

First time coming here, was in the neighborhood. I ordered the combo 1 to go. I would recommend and come back. Parking maybe a factor depending the time of day.

Our friend ordered the Combination for One #4 and it was a massive plate of food for $16.26 .

The H&S soup was more spicy than sour….everything was very good.
We all brought home leftovers.

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.

Food was dry. Overcooked and it was like it was sitting there for hours. The fortune cookies were stale. The wonton soup tasted like chicken broth. The food had no flavour I ordered the dinner for one with sweet and sour pork chop Suey and chicken Chow Mein. Obviously I also ordered the wonton soup. Never again will I order from them again as this is the second the food was like this.

This little hole in the wall restaurant (6 tables) is one of my favorites. Have been coming here for over 30 years. The owners have changed but the food is always good. Ginger beef and spicy green beans with added garlic are two of my favorites along with a, bowl of steamed rice. A lot of delivery calls so it is usually not hard to find a table. I apologize for the pictures as they were taken halfway through dinner.

This was the most HORRIBLE Chinese food I have EVER had. I LOVE Chinese food but 5 of us ordered from here today and we will NEVER order from here again!!! The fried rice was bad...the sweet and sour chicken balls had absolutely NO sauce on it. I tasted one and the whole thing was dryer than sawdust!! I added some red sauce that was seperate (it was for the fried prawns) and this did NOT help. This red sauce was sour as in a bad sour. What do these people do with their food? It was like all our food had been sitting out all night (we ordered as soon as it was open) plus let it sit for over a week in the fridge!! EVERY ONE OF US HAD ISSUES WITH ALL OF OUR FOOD!!!! NOT HAPPY AT ALL. The good reviews in here MUST be from the workers/owners....because like I said we love Chinese food but this place is PATHETIC. NEVER AGAIN!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!
They don't even deserve one star!!! ALL 5 OF US GIVE THIS PLACE A ZERO STAR RATING FOR FOOD!! (More like GARBAGE...NOT FOOD!)
