Very poor service. We went for lunch as a party of 3 on a weekday. The restaurant was almost empty but the servers did not even come to our table once to refill our water and tea. At last we paid a bit more than 10% tips, but the servers approached us and insisted for us to give them 12% instead. The servers were impolite and rude but we still gave in.
Other than the bad service, the food was below average and we could tell it was frozen food. Will definitely not go back again or recommend this restaurant.
The service was extremely poor. The three of us went to have lunch on a weekday afternoon. There were only two tables of customers in the restaurant, but the waiter never came to refill our water. We tipped 10%, but the waiter chased us and asked us to tip 12%. The quality of the food is also not good, it looks like frozen snacks. We will definitely not go back to this restaurant or recommend it to others.

Tucked in a tiny corner mall in SE Van is this authentic Cantonese/ chinese restaurant. With its unassuming and humble front door, the food is surprisingly authentic and delicious! Prices are average for their portion sizes. The 2 noodle dishes I got (dry-fried beef rice noodle and Singapore style vermicelli) have strong wok flavor ("wok hei"). Their baked tapioca pudding is made when ordered, so it takes time, but it's to die for! Apparently, they also have dim sum during lunch, so I'll try it next time! All in all, surprisingly good authentic flavors, super friendly staff, and convenient!
Parking: Limited spots in the parking lot.

We went with 5 friends and the two of us. We had a feast with shredded chicken salad, duck two ways, chicken roasted, shrimp (not for me), fish and rice. We ended with an unusual bean soup dessert that I couldn't finish.
Koon Bo is a fairly long established Chinese restaurant on Fraser in a tiny strip mall. It's been about 10 years since we last visited and I'll admit that the interior decor looks better than it did during our last visit. A lot of things that haven't changed: the parking lot is small and busy, service is on the slow side, food is pretty spot on.
We ordered their taro dumplings ($9.2) - this was actually the last dish to be delivered to the table but it was quite good. They have a good taro to filling ratio.
Also ordered their rice rolls with crispy bean curd sheets and fish paste ($10). The bean curd sheets are very crispy/crunchy. The best pieces are the inner ones because the outer pieces have a bit too much crunch.
They make a good steamed bean curd wraps with pork and shrimp ($8.9). I liked their filling and sauce on this fish.
Their scallop and prawn dumpling ($9.7) had the filling bursting through the wrapper and it was difficult to pick up without it falling apart.
The crispy vermicelli with picked veggies and young ginger ($29.45) was a huge dish. Lots of crispy vermicelli on both the bottom and top - it's best to mix it all up with the sauce.
Dim sum was 20% off before 11am when we visited on a weekday.

We are often repeat customers for restaurants that offer good food and good service. The Koon Bo restaurant is such a restaurant where they offer both Dim Sum. Lunch and Dinner selections. All dishes are freshly made once you place the order. Some of their tasty dishes include the following: Crispy vermicelli with beef, pickled veggie and young ginger. Roasted pigeon (squab) (strongly suggest to pre-order as there is a limited daily supply). Deep fried sesame balls with black sesame custard. Steamed rice rolls with dried shrimp. Steamed shrimp paste with fish maw.
Suki is outstandingly helpful, accommodating, and pleasant to ensure your dining experience is optimal and satisfying.
There are a limited number of parking spots in the strip mall. However, street parking is always available nearby.

I ordered a steamed dumpling, took a bite and found it was raw. I called the waiter and they took it away without saying a word and brought a new one. I took another bite and it was still raw inside. I didn’t dare to eat it again.
The seafood congee was exceptional, brimming with seafood and flavourful. Paired with a crispy Chinese donut, it was a delightful combination. The shiu mai were impressively large and juicy. I went in during lunch time so the parking lot was full and it was difficult to find parking since the lot is small. The staff, however, were friendly and attentive. Prices are on the higher side, but what isn't these days.

Lobster didn't taste fresh, usually the meat is chewy and sweet but absolutely no taste. Other dishes aren't that great either.

A time-honored restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. There are many signature dishes, such as shredded chicken, sago rice pudding, winter melon cup, etc. It is the first choice for foreign friends to visit, and it is also suitable for gatherings on weekdays. There are various packages available at reasonable prices.

We had dinner here recently, food quality was bad, tastes bad and they only have one server taking order. They were a very good restaurant before. Now it’s not worth to come at all.
