I was so dissapointed today. No flavour in the dishes. I ordered a month ago and the food was great. What happened?

For what it is it’s exactly what you wantQuick , the cheapest/tastiestYou can pick out what you want and get it packed to go right away or order pickup/deliveryThe atmosphere I rate low only bc the inside seating area is loaded with an energy of you can eat but they also don’t really enjoy ppl being there ( tables/chairs suck/cramped space)I like the lads ( i assume the owners family) that are behind the front table sometimes - they seem to loath being there which is oddly entertaining ( usually playing videos games/sometimes will run the front)Like a lot of similar style restaurants they close early at times when it’s not busy - which I understand from their side- but when you're a big fat heifer like me - and you drive down in a rush like mad max - to make it on time and they closed down early , it feels like your dad ‘left for milk again’ and isn’t ever coming backI very much enjoy the food, and the lady that runs the place is very pleasant and is quite funny to chant/banter with - but for some reason I get the feeling she hates dealing with customers ( even though she never acts like it ) and it makes me very fond of her and the experiencePrice wise I’ve never had better Chinese food for such a cheap price ?

I tried the three items with steamed rice - spicy chicken, ginger beef, and vegetables. All three were delicious. Good value.

Oh man. I've eaten here before but as take out and I didn't have to deal with anyone inside.Today I stopped in with the intention of ordering. It was dead, so I asked the lady there a couple questions like "is this spicy?" and "are there mushrooms in this" and she literally looked pained that I was asking very simple questions.I was looking for recommendations and to talk to someone like a human being but I decided to leave instead.I've picked up orders from here for Uber seven times and each time she's absolutely miserable and looks like she doesn't want to be there.I'm hungry as hell but I'm going elsewhere now.What a pity. I'm personally having a day from hell but walked in there with a smile on my face and tried to make jokes.What a miserable person. Pity.

Got deliver from skip but food was awful. Not sure how anyone could give this place stars for food. Soggy. Greasy. Zero flavor. Taste like nothing. All reviews over 1 start look to bee from long time ago. Things must have changed.

This place really packages the food well fior transport!! The Cantonese Crispy Chow Mein noodles are packaged separately from the toppings so they really stay crispy.Vegetarian options: Broad menu fu

Ohh my god!! It was the first time I entered this place the lady who served me was carrying so much of attitude...Not at all friendly and welcoming I was feeling like that I should hurry up eat and leave the place .And the worst part is even if you are dining in they will serve u in to go container..First and the last time...The owner should look into the service part and courtesy

So gave this place a try. Ordered egg rolls and ginger beef. Oooo… did not like it. The egg rolls had an awful taste , it was so old and not fresh at all. I really can’t describe this taste but I had only 1 bite. I asked the lovely gal behind the counter when the were cooked. She said 11;00 it was now 1:00. I told her I thought they may have gone off but she just stared at me. Ok ginger beef.. NOPE! The ginger beef was hard and tasted like it was a few days old and the flavour was most unpleasant. Buffet type style can be challenging I imagine but having it sit under a heat lamp allDay and who knows when it was made is very pleasant.

Best wonton soup in Langley!! I’ve tried a lot of others since I work and live in Langley.

Food is cooked in fish oil *yuk* Veggies were cold undercooked, water logged. Flavors were awful. I dumped out & fed to the crows in parking lot. They have a food truck called Dim Sum Express which is what we ordered from. $16 + tax for this

I tried their dim sum today for the first time. Good selection, fast, friendly service, reasonable pricing, and the food was pretty good. I got three items, ate half for lunch and will enjoy the other half for dinner. Looking forward to trying more of their good variety of dishes.

I got takeout around noon from Golden River Express’ buffet bar. I am of Chinese descent, and some dishes here are not bad. The first egg roll was actually the best Chinese one I remember having. I had them without dipping sauce. Next time, I would only get one for myself because the second one didn’t have the same impact.The fried rice could’ve been better because it has a faint maybe burnt taste. I added a packet of soy sauce to the rice for flavour when I had it on its own, which made it good. It has very little BBQ pork in it.Chow mein was enjoyable as my main, and I liked the vegetables in it (green cabbage and onion).Chicken balls were fine. I had them without dipping sauce.None of the above felt overly greasy.I would go back again. I would like to try their all-day dim sum.Also, they used plastic take out containers unlike a review from a year ago, so maybe they stopped using styrofoam.

Grabbed a quick lunch, the food was very well priced especially with how high prices of things are now and very generous portions. Lady was nice and service was quick.I liked the takeout buffet for people in a hurry. Would definitely try more.
