I've been to this restaurant over god-knows-how-many years and the two items that I always come back for are shrimp wonton soup (with egg noodles) and congee.
A lot of Chinese restaurants offer these two items but not too many can do as an authentic…More »
A lamb skewer, half of a lamb sandwich, and half a bowl of Taiwanese squid stew later, I was ready for more food. As I walked from one food court stall to another I stumbled across Chao Shou Wang. I saw a plate of plumped spicy wontons waiting to be…More »
A lamb skewer and half of a lamb sandwich later (from Want Want), I ordered myself a small satay squid stew from The Red Persimmons. This place has some very traditional Taiwanese food items. The food pictures on the walls look edible so I went ahead…More »

If you are looking for cheap and tasty Chinese food (snacks or meals), Crystal Mall is the pace to go. Just remember, the abundant choices can be overwhelming because you would want to try everything.
My partner and I were hungry for some Chinese…More »
I've bussed by and walked by this joint for the longest time. I am happy to say that I can finally remove it from my Yelp bookmark now. I was here early this week with Amy T. We ordered a bowl of dragged noodle soup with beef tendon, tripe etc and a…More »
My partner and I were driving up and down Victoria Dr. looking for an udon joint but we ended up at this hole in the wall. We were hesitant to go in even though we saw a couple of occupied tables. After doing a quick Yelp search on our reliable…More »

I've never been here but my partner has a number of times (a while back). As we spied on other tables we noticed there were a lot of Asian couples in their fifties and sixties sharing 3-4 dishes of anything from noodle soups to pan fried goods.…More »

I ordered a skewer of lamb and a skewer of beef. The beef tasted like lamb and the lamb tasted like pork.
I am pretty certain I would not come back to this place again for more lamb skewers because Want Want's lamb skewers are just so much better.…More »
Boiling point is a bubble tea house that specializes in Taiwanese stinky tofu hot pot. I think it's pretty safe to say you can't find real authentic stinky tofu (fried or steamed) in the Lower Mainland because the Canadian Food Inspection Agency…More »
Let's be honest here. The food and services are neither good nor bad.
I have practically went through the whole dim sum menu in the past a year and half (as I work in the Downtown) and my conclusion is that the food is only meh. Thanks to business…More »
I've been here twice already and the quality of food has been consistent. This restaurant specializes in rice noodles in soup and Hong Kong style clay rice pots. You can customize your food with whatever toppings you like. I like the make-to-order…More »
On a cold Tuesday night we brave Yelpers gathered here as we await our fates on this epic eating conquest under the leadership of our chairman Larry.....

I came here with my colleague on a work day for lunch. I was glad I made a reservation because the restaurant was packed at 1:15pm. Because we only had an hour to eat we checked out the online menu prior to making our way down.
We ordered a Peking…More »
What a way to celebrate a birthday with Peking duck 2 course for $17.
My partner brought his mom, best friend, and me here to celebrate his mother's birthday. In addition to the two course we also ordered a egg white/crab meat on broccoli, half a…More »
The food is not to die for here. I can only say I had better (aka, Crystal Mall food court).
My partner and I came here for lunch. We ordered a chicken dumpling dish (4 dumplings in peanut sauce) and a bowl of noodle soup with stir-fry pork and…More »
