“If you're curious about real Cantonese cooking, skip the General Tso’s chicken and chow mein and try Loong’s.
My mother-in-law is one of the best cooks I’ve ever known. Every Sunday, she would spend six to eight hours preparing a feast of our favorite Cantonese dishes—no recipes, just decades of experience and a deep love for feeding others.
Loong’s is the closest I’ve ever come to that kind of cooking in a restaurant. The food is expertly prepared, deeply authentic, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, spiced, and cooked with obvious skill. Don’t be intimidated by the menu. We had pork belly soup (best broth, chewy pork), beef brisket noodles, stir fried veggies, sweet and sour pork and milk custard for dessert (try it hot). All were wonderful!
Don’t come here expecting trendy décor, cocktails, or flashy service. This is about the food—nothing more, nothing less. It’s a father-and-son team running the place, and while the service is simple and efficient, come for the food. Or you could try takeout.
The restaurant itself might not wow you at first glance. But give it a chance, and you’ll feel like you are in a favourite neighbourhood spot in Guangdong—only it happens to be in West Vancouver.“

“Best Chinese I’ve had in a very long time!!“

“We have been ordering from Ginger and Soy for both takeout and dine in for the past several years. They produce some of the best dishes, piping hot to your door. It is a premium product and more expensive than local alternatives. It is worth it. Family members even fight over the leftovers a day later.“

“Amazing staff and food! 10/10 best hot pot in Vancouver, I would recommend to anyone!“
