Wanting for Wuntun and Congee

Wuntun Noodle houses are everywhere. Where have I been, Where do I go? Some of these places are good and not so good and great. Some have better congee than others but all in all, it's really about the Wuntun mein. One of my favourite dishes. Cheap, fast, not always the best service, but it's my staple and I love it.

Thought I'd better update my review of this place, since I've been here like a dozen times or more since the last review.

Still solid, consistent food pumped out everyday like a good Wuntun place should. This is why I keep coming back. The staff are…More »

Another decent Wonton restaurant. If you want a change from Michigan Noodles but kinda still want the same? Well you can get it here.

This place has actually been open longer than the Michigan Noodles and frankly it practically is the same.

Why do I bother coming back? It's all about the name and once you're inside, you can't help but not to leave until you've finished what you can of your meal. You're in a state of transferrance (if it's a late night snack); or your indifferent…More »

I remember when they used to have their place called Lin's on Granville. The property was sold and now there resides a big apartment building. So where did they go? Well, they moved to Parker Place. The people are the same, the food is the same…More »

This place always gets good business, but it's come down a bit in quality and it's not the same.

Quality control?

Parking is always a challenge here, so either come before lunch rush or after.

Today I did take out. Noticed on the flatscreen TV behind the Cashier there was a special combo A for $7.95. Szechuan Fried rice with drink.

So I ordered it and some…More »

This place serves quick and tasty wuntun noodles. My parents love this place and whenever we go to Yao Han we have a bowl of noodles here. They have a huge variety from such a tiny kitchen, but then that's how it is with Chinese food and ingenuity!…More »

Ok I love Wun Tun. I grew up with Hons when I was a kid when they had their old place on Main st. My dad used to be their doctor many years ago. I remember their food back then and it brings back memories of eating there with my father after…More »

This was kinda like finding one of those hidden gems. The place is quiet, I figure it's only busy during lunch hour and the rest of the day is take out or delviery.
Open from 10 am to 10 pm. Seems like a couple run the place. Chinese food is served…More »

This was one of those Wunton restaurants that was always second fiddle to a place like Hon's Wunton or Wonton Mein Saga or Michigan Noodles. Why did it have to be that way?
The food has always been pretty good and in the past I would have rated the…More »

Recently updated lists from Larry L.

Great places come and gone. (1) Places that I would repeatedly go to that were good, but are sadly no more.	You call this Italian? (5) Places that serve Italian inspired food. So...Is it Italian or is it Ispirando! Mostly this list is about Japanese or Asian influenced Italian food. When I tried Italian food in Japan it was quite different from what my friends from Italiy would make andit lead me to this. Fusion.
Steveston Village (40) I still have to work on this list, but it's growing. Lots of stuff to do in Steveston Village. When it's sunny outside there's even more to do. During the spring and summer, every second sunday, there is the Farmers market as well.	Mojofoodies -Chinatown (22) We're going downtown to Chinatown! My list of places and things in and around the Chinatown area. Places that have been here for years and still running business and places I've newly discovered. It was an area I grew up in and remember fondly. It is a place I return to for those memories and to create new ones.
Cantonese Food (4) Cantonese Food, probably one of the first Chinese cuisines to come to Canada. This is a list of places that I've eaten at in Vancouver that serves Cantonese style food.	Japanese Food. What it Means to Me. (25) Japanese food to me is a home cooked meal. It's not always sushi and not always raw and not always rice. Here's a list of the Japanese restaurants that I've been to that I consider more authentic than others. Yasuyo can claim this list as hers as well. Although there are alot of great places I haven't been to yet. (I'll get to them someday) This is just a list of the places that I've been to that I would recommend.
FAST AND FURIOUS FOOD (48) Fast food and drive ins, or drive throughs or dive ins.	Happy Hour for your Car. (21) Want to pamper your car? Like to race or rally your car in competition but don't know where to start? Want to make you're new purchase look unique, cool and sleek and sexy? Below is a growing list that i'll be working on for those who love all things automobiles. Stay tuned for updates!
Places with Potential (6) This is a list of places that have all the right stuff, but on the night or day I came, it was probably not their best day. So if you come here, please cheer them on. I know they can do better and I'm sure you will give them glowing reviews. Everybody has a bad day now and then. So this list is to prove that they know they can do it great all the time.	The Underdog List for April 2012 (4) Here is a list of reviews that i will be doing in the month of April that have 10 or less reviews at the time of review. Unfotunately I couldn't use them for the Underdog April event listing, but this should help those Underdogs out there!
