Every bite was a revelation, showcasing the chef's mastery of ingredients and technique.

“Bring your appetite and empty bellies :) the happy hour after 9pm is totally worth the price.Came back to Cho Cho during daytime and the food never disappoints. Everything is esp fresh and very very filling. They have select dim sum available in the daytime along with their usual choices of fresh ingredients to choose from. We ordered the unlimited drinks but I was only able to try one flavour since I got really full.“

“First time trying aroma eatery and I was so impressed. It tasted exactly like the food I've had in Taiwan. I had given up on good Taiwanese food in Vancouver for so long because I've been disappointed so many times but this place really gave me hope again! We got the combo for 2 and it was so worth it. The combo came with two black teas, two dishes of our choice, and a stir fry vegetable dish and a deep fried tofu dish. It only costed 38$. This is one of my best restaurant finds in a while. I HIGHLY recommend it!“

“Great restaurant! Free ice cream as well. Will visit again.“

“Love the unlimited noodles refills. Just wish they provide extra soup as well! Although the food is good, I honestly feel guilty when eating here because the restaurant is doing so much harm to the environment by using plastic bowls, paper cups, wooden chopsticks, etc for dine in customers. I really wish they can change that soon.“

“Aunt Karrie's service attitude is super good, she's really gentle, and the bone soup base is super delicious. It really feels like it's the same as in China. I'm going back to China instantly. I really love Aunt Karrie so much! ! !“

“Came here with some family for lunch. Every dish was great: green beans with black bean sauce, crispy skin chicken, fried fish with spicy salt, ginger beef, crispy noodles with chicken and vegetables, plain rice. Everything was tasty and would recommend everything we had. Hard to stop eating. The service was prompt, attentive, and professional. Some may think the decor is dated however we thought it looked nice and fit the place. Do you like Chinese food? Come and try the food here if you haven’t already.Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices. We had the green beans in black bean sauce. Was great.Parking: We parked on the street nearby. Wasn’t too terrible finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: Saw kids at other tables and they seemed welcome to be here. Always nice to see families out together.“

“The hot and sour soup with seafood was really good. I liked the Pickled radish they served too.Only problem is the mussels are served with the shell in the bowl and sharp shards break off in the soup.Could be the end of some one.Careful with those.“

“This place is located in the crystal mall food court! I have been coming to this stall for a decade with my family. Their dumplings are all great, but their store signature dish is the pork dumplings with roasted peanuts and szechuan oil numbing spice. It is amazing! I ask for medium spicy because it is quite spicy! I highly reccomend trying this! The food court here is always busy for a good reason. :) Tables can be hard to find in the food court when it is peak hours. But it is worth it“

“Today is my first time to eat Happy Lamb. Sister Jun's service is so considerate. It gives us the feeling of going back to our own home to eat. I have to give this service a five-star rating. I hope the manager will praise it. Such excellent staff❤️❤️“

“The service here is very fast . Restaurant looks very pretty and the food, I’ve never tasted such delicious Chinese food in my life until today. I recommend everyone to try here at least once. Will not regret or forget!A true hidden-gem!P.S - the food may look spicy but they can make it taste super amazing without the spice and look red at the same time !“

“Very tasty food! The owners were very helpful with the menu and patient with us. We came 30 minutes before closing and told us to don't rush even after closing! The food was very flavorful, highly recommend the beef cumin bao. The bread to meat ratio was perfect! The lamb noodle soup was very tasty too!“

“I LOVE this place! I am a die hard fan of more traditional food, however, once in awhile I get an insatiable craving for Western style Chinese food and it is actually very annoying as someone who eats gluten free. When I discovered Chili Dragon and realized I could have all the ginger beef my little heart desires, I nearly cried. The Singapore noodles are also a top favourite. My boyfriend who usually hates all my gluten friendly places, will happily eat from this restaurant. Something about the batter not having wheat actually holds up better and stays crispy and hot in the container even for a 20+ minute drive back home. I’m sure it would hold up perfectly fine if ordered through a delivery app too. I hope this place stays in business forever, it is seriously a Godsend for those of us with gluten allergies who just want a delicious take out meal free of any concerns or explaining to the staff how to make our meal safe to consume. Also, the servings are huge! Definitely best for sharing or having leftovers. Thank you Chili Dragon! I have been back a couple times and will continue to enjoy as long as I can.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Fantastic food and superior service went there with a friend cannot fault this place in any way highly recommend if you are in the area.“

“I was referred by a friend to visit the place to try their $10.99 special. Fish filets with cream corn sauce on rice was one my childhood favorite and still is. It was absolutely delicious. Fish filets are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cream corn sauce was perfectly done. It was a very good meal for $12.10 taxed in. (How do they survive with the pricing during these times? ?). Will return to try other stuff on the menu!“

“Service was awesome and attentive. Food was delivered quickly, was hot and delicious“

“Came here with two other friends. This place is so cute! I love the cute interior that reminds me of street restaurants in Chinese dramas. We don't take spice that well so we ordered non spicy broth. To be honest, the broth is on the saltier side so I don't recommend drinking it but it pairs well with drinks and the skewers. I find the skewers are reasonable priced and they don't force you to order minimum number of certain skewers so you can try more skewers! Also, I love the promotion that they currently have - $1.99 for a plate of wagyu beef and $2.99 for half a lobster tail! From my understanding, the wagyu beef promotion ends on March 31. Their egg fried rice and mochi dessert are so good!! You must order them :)“

“Friendly service. Great value. Love the pork belly.“

“อร่อยมากค่ะ น้ำจิ้มอร่อย คือมันเริศวันหลังจะไปทานอีกค่ะ“

“Fantastic dining experience. Our server Sherry was incredible. Sherry was pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and never made us feel rushed while maintaining timely service. The food was spectacular. They say everything is made in house. You are served proof of that with every course. Thank you LuLu Kitchen for a great meal!“

“Delicious foods, authentic, good price, many varieties, one of my favourite places for foods! Love it!“

“There are many kinds of dishes and the service attitude is good. I will consider bringing friends here to try it next time.Parking: There are other businesses nearby, and the parking spaces are slightly insufficient, making it difficult to park.“

“To preface, anyone criticizing the waitresses or service have not eaten here and interacted with them. I think, honestly speaking, people who have a negative service experience just aren't sociable themselves and cannot have meaningful conversations. Additionally, anyone critiquing the food quality or its authenticity, do not understand that this is a Yunnan-specialized restaurant, not a Sichuan restaurant. I have seen plenty reviews below mine that cannot tell the difference, either visually or by taste. Also, there are some reviews that say that the orders get mixed up; those people are simply moronic. I have sat next to said individuals while eating here, and those people cannot differentiate between species or sub-species of vegetables and accuse the restaurant of serving something else (ex. reviewer "kevin gao").Probably most general reviewers don't care, but I do care about giving this place a good name that it deserves. I always eat dinner here on weekends with my family because the food is outstanding. If there is a criticism, I would say the prices are getting expensive, but we are dealing with record inflation in 2023-2024.Anyways, the depth of flavour is rich; you can really taste the different types of spices and their affect on your palate. The chefs are very skilled at what they do; exceeding the already high bar of good Chinese restaurants, by being able to cook a variety of dishes that are very difficult to cook. I'm not talking about the normal Western-catering restaurants, where they basically prepare glorified cafeteria "Chinese" food, that some readers might like (more power to you). Same goes for those newer mainland Chinese immigrant-catering restaurants that only specialize in one recipe, whereby the only variety is just garnish or seasoning (i.e., "McDonald's for the Chinese").But genuinely, if you haven't tried this restaurant, give it a fair chance. Finally, the waitresses are nice and kind, and put up with a lot in their already busy work lives, yet their quality of service has not dropped.“

“Nice to have a good congee option outside of Richmond, quality of food is fresh and hot, quality of service is quick and accommodating, and dining area is maintained very clean. We enjoyed the old-school chinese music. Very asian local kinda restaurant. Simple menu, congee, rice roll and most importantly instant noodle with spam and eggs. Sometimes the simplicity good. Only con, their hk style lemon tea is Nestea with lemon. Not OG hk lemon tea. But not enough to deserve a drop in rating. Spicy wonton is good.“

“The food was pretty good, the lamb was especially good.It's more delicious than lamb skewer restaurants. If you can't eat tzuran,I think it would be a good idea to talk about it in advance and make some adjustments.Dim sum isn't great, but it's not bad.Parking: Convenient free parking in front of the store“

“Had the party tray size of the fried beef with rice noodle, shrimp fried rice, and the fried green bean Szechuan style and all of it was solid tasting for what it was and standard as expected. The shrimp fried rice had lots of juicy shrimp pieces, the fried beef with flat rice noodle was typical, and the fried green bean Szechuan style was the highlight dish bursting with sweet chili, savoury soy, and mild spiciness. Highly recommend their green beans.“

“MaMa Rich is the hidden gem near Metrotown that you didn't know you needed to try. Serving the Chinese dish from Guangxi "River Snail Noodle" (luosifen/螺螄粉), this slightly pungent but delicious dish is quite unique. The base of the soup is made with escargot and then has actual escargot, meats and other vegetables inside with a dazzle of spice. Protip: you can customize the spice level to your liking! I also recommend the mouthwatering chicken (koushuiji/口水雞) which also has a delicious chilli oil spice. Service wise, this restaurant is pretty small and is more of a no-frills service. There aren't a lot of tables so things shouldn't take too long but the usually aren't to many staff on shift. For the price, I think the value makes sense for a rather uncommon dish. Overall, a great choice if you're in the Metrotown area and want to try something new!“

“What an absolute gem! The curry beef brisket here is as good as their Vancouver and Richmond locations. The beef rice noodles are perfectly cooked with plenty of ingredients. Really glad Mui Garden is still around as they have been for all these decades. Everything was so delicious we'll be coming back for more.“

“Spent a few hours in the Crystal Mall on a Wednesday, and was so disappointed to see that Shanghai Dim Sum was closed for the day, my favorite XLB shop.Oh well, we ate some other delicious things, the standout was the shengjian bao, pan fried pork buns from Shanghai Fortune Cuisine. It was lined up and everyone in the rooms seemed to be eating them.Wow, they were good. Crispy on the bottom, tender on top, full of soup and pork. Delicious. Staff is friendly too!I think I found a new favorite.“

“I love the Spicy Fried Noodles! The food is authentic and very good taste!“

“The kids and I enjoy the food from Garlic & Chili. We've been customers for some time. Everyone's tastebuds are different but we love the food. The vegetables taste fresh, we don't find anything overly salty, boneless pork is actually boneless with no fat, and portions are good for us. We have never dined in, but it looks clean and the service is always friendly. We also like the prices. Highly recommend. Ample parking outside as it's located in a strip mall. Convenient location so you can pick up items in the other stores. Photos: Beef Broccoli Chow Mein, Braised Tofu with Vegetables, Diced Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Sweet & Sour Boneless Pork, and Wonton Soup (10 pcs).“

“Visit at around 2-4pm of April 27, 2024No waiting neededWent to this Taiwanese restaurant with my friend yesterday, the owners were so welcoming to us, and our food were the unexpectedly big amounts, fresh and delicious. Definitely will come back again. ???Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian menu with a lot of options.
