We enjoy going to Chinese Diner type restaurants for breakfast and lunch. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly.

Tried to call just before lunch to do a pick up order. They must’ve been busy because I called 5 times. In between, I got a hold of someone who promptly hung up on me and when I immediately called back it rang til it went to voicemail. Is the food that great that you’re slammed before Noon, not really. It’s generally fine but if your service is apathetic or you don’t have enough staff to properly answer the phone then you’ve got a problem. So no i won’t be ordering from you or your sister companies : Van Tea in Richmond or Angel Cafe in Fraser. I get enough surly on Fraser as it is from staff there no need to give away my money to people who are clearly unhappy. Bub-bye!

Dirty plates. Please double check when washing. My bowls had curry stains and chilli sauce when I didn’t even order any food yet.

I was working outside in front of this place.I went for lunch ordered.Take out.I ordered pan fried beef with rice noodles . Your standard chinese dish. Went back to my work truck to eat it and discovered that there was no beef in the dish.All noodles bean sprouts and onion. No beef at all. A very very overpriced.

Heard a lot about this place from local food YouTubers, especially about their afternoon set meals.

First, we had the baked pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese (15.50), which came with a hot drink. The dish was served on a bed of fried rice. The pork was breaded and deep fried (was moist and decent thickness, but not crispy). The tomato flavour was a bit sweet, like ketchup and there wasn't much cheese. Portion size was okay.

Secondly, we ordered the stir fried rice noodle with beef and soy sauce (14.50) with free hot drink. The noodles had great chew and the onions were crunchy and sweet. Beef was juicy but reminded me a bit of beef that's tenderized by baking soda. Flavours were overall good but portion was on smaller side.

Lastly, we ordered Thai style grilled chicken fried rice (14.50), which came with a hot drink. The rice had decent texture and there was a bit of sweetness to the rice. The chicken bits were very juicy and skin was crispy.

Service only arrives if you keep trying to flag them down.

This is absolutely the best Chinese food restaurant in Vancouver and Richmond. The Malaysian Ribs and Lobster are the best. Everything else is good too. Servings are plentiful and prices are excellent. Wished they would relocate to a larger place with lots of parking in their Vancouver location. Forces you to take out instead.

Not as great as the Chinese restaurants in Richmond in either price or taste, but it’s still probably the best one around this area. Bring cash or debit.
