Kalvin's Szechuan Restaurant, also known as Manglinju, offers an array of authentic Taiwanese dishes. While some customers have noted changes in the taste of the Wugengchangwang, the Boiled Lamb is described as spicy. The Golden Sands Shrimp and the three cups of small rolls are reported as delicious. The restaurant is celebrated for its cleanliness, flavorful dishes, and friendly service. Although it can be crowded, making reservations is recommended. Notable dishes include garlic chili pork stir-fry, soup dumplings, and hot and sour soup.
The restaurant is a true Vancouver institution for authentic Taiwanese cuisine. Owner Kalvin has trained many of the chefs who prepare Taiwanese food in the city. While the location is a bit of a hole in the wall, the prices are excellent with generous portions. Diners can enjoy dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, such as the stinky tofu casserole, which pairs well with rice. The sweet and sour fish and tofu dish, as well as the stir-fried Taiwanese clams, are also highly recommended.
The service can vary, with some customers experiencing excellent service, especially if they speak Mandarin or Cantonese, while others mention less warm interactions. The restaurant is a comfortable Hong Kong-style space with a bright and clean environment. Customers have expressed that it is a treasure in Vancouver, making it a place worth visiting for those seeking an authentic Taiwanese dining experience. Parking can be challenging in the neighborhood, so finding a street spot is advisable.
