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
#2 On the menu "Delicious wontons" and the "Beef noodle" IF YOU LOVE SPICY. Comes as Mild, medium and spicy for the wontons and just mild for beef noodle, but can probably request a slicier soup. Honestly, I love a medium amount of spice, but I can only handle the mild here and it is definitely not bland. It's a tongue numbing spice, but it has got to be some of the most flavorful soupsi've ever had. It is definitely my favorite place for wontons and beef noodle and it is all I ever order here. Give amounts of beef and super tender. I've taken friends from out of town to all sorts of well known, nice restaurants in Vancouver, but a few have mentioned this being one of their most memorable dishes.
Great quantity for only $10. Chili sauce needs some salt, but the flavor is great. Wonton skin is thin and bouncy and the peanuts add a good texture. Underneath there is a layer of bean sprouts that also add some texture. The combination of ingredients is delicious. Service is fast and they give you a little buzzer for when it's ready so you can check out other stalls at the food court. Cash only though. 8.4/10 overall
This place was pretty quite compared to the other food court places but we decided to give it a try since it smelled good. We ordered on the app for pick up so we didn't have to use cash. It was pretty fast and the guy was quick to grab my food for me when I showed him the order number. Food flavor was really good. Not as spicy as I had expected but still a good experience. It's pretty dark and unassuming compared to the other stalls, but worth a try.
Lady has this place bookmarked for me since I enjoy Sichuan food. One of my favorite dishes is typically the spicy boiled beef or the beef noodle soup. The beef that came with the noodles were super soft and had absorbed a lot of the seasoning that came in the broth. The broth itself was super rich and fairly spicy (ordered a medium). The Sichuan peppers definitely stand out in this dish along with the beef. The noodles weren't too soft, and had a nice firm bite. If I'm in the area and in the mood for Sichaunese, I'd make a pitstop here if it weren't too busy again to try other other items. 〇【Menu Items Ordered & Rating Details】 ・Beef Noodle Soup, $12.50 (Ttl: $12.50 (tax excl.)) 〇【Food/Drinks: 3.0】 ・Small menu, makes food selection pretty straightforward. They had a few other sichuanese dishes on there that I've seen on most menus as well. Drinks were limited to water and some sodas/teas. 〇【Service: 3.5】 ・Staff who took my order spoke English/Cantonese, they use a paging system so you'll know when your order is ready. Time to serve was pretty short. 〇【Atmosphere: 3.0】 ・Store front is in the food court on the second floor in Crystal Mall. Overall there's a large amount of seating available of you're sitting with just you and/or one other person, may be difficult to find seating for groups of 4+ if you're going here with a larger group of friends on a fairly busy day. 〇【CP: 4.0】 ・It was priced pretty cheap for the amount that was given and the quality of the food. 〇【Misc memo】 ・NFC payments ・located in a food court
Quick service and some tasty food. I've had their dry spicy wontons a couple of times and it's one of my favourite dishes to get at Crystal mall. It comes with plenty of roasted peanuts that are slightly salty. It compliments the wontons as it adds a nice crunch. There's so beansprouts too on the bottom to soak up the chili oil. They asked how spicy I wanted it and I just said normal spice and it has a good kick to it. I also got the Dan Dan noodles. This one is a bit different than other Dan Dan noodles because there's a lot more liquid rather than it being a thicker sauce. It's more of a soup consistency. It still has great flavour and the noodles have a good chew to them. They have increased their prices slightly since the last time I've been, but it has been a while. But the food is still under $10 for each dish, so it's a pretty good deal.
MUST TRY AT CRYSTAL MALL if you love hidden gems & spicy food, check out Chao Shou Want for their incredible noodle soups. The soups are hearty, spicy, firy and jam packed with spice and umami flavour. I personally love both the flour noodle and rice noodle pairings, as the two type of noodles hold its weight against the strong broth. Both the beef and pig intestine compliment the dish incredibly well. At $11 per noodle soup, it isn't the cheapest find in the Crystal Mall Food Court but it is a find that will leave you wanting more.
I've recently taken a liking to spicy foods, especially when it involves chili and garlic. I'm also no stranger to the food court at Crystal Mall and have always been curious about these plates of chili covered wontons that people seem to be ordering and soon discovered that they come from Chao Shou Wang. A plate of their Dry Spicy Wonton will set you back 8.50. The skin on these has a great chew and they come topped with a ton of roasted peanuts. I didn't really find these that spicy though and the meat inside was a bit on the blander side. I also tried their House Hot Noodles (8.50). These had a great chew and it was a HUGE mound of noodles. The sauce is essentially chili oil mixed with garlic, lots of roasted peanuts, and interlaced with some minced pork. This dish is very tasty and has a slow burn to it that will leave your mouth on fire for a few hours after the fact lol. If you get the wonton, I'd recommend dipping it in the chili garlic sauce that pools at the bottom of your plate of noodles. Food came REALLY fast after ordering.
Noodles bursting with flavors. Highly highly recommended. Cheap and delicious. House Hot Noodles
GLORIOUS chili wontons. The wontons are quite big and had a tasty pork filling. I had the spiciest option and it was honestly not that spicy. Super good value as you get a huge plate of wontons for $10. Service is also super fast.
One of my favourites place to eat at crystal mall. In the past, I usually ordered their beef noodle soup, but after read few reviews on yelp, I decided to try their dry wonton. First thing that come to my mind "I don't want to pay that just for wontons (aka snack), I rather pay for the beef noodle", that's why I never try their dry wonton. Because of curiosity, I decided to order the dry wonton with medium spicy level. The wonton itself is good, generous in the filling (I can tell they made the wonton by themselves), and it loads with nuts, chili oil, little veggies (boiled bean sprout), and chicken powder (lol i can really taste the chicken powder), it doesn't mix properly since some part only taste chili oil, and the other part taste chicken powder. However, that's the secret of chinese food! Overall taste is good tho, and you can add more spicy if you need more spicyness. They also provide salt, soy sauce, and black vinegar as well for the condiment. I think from now on I will order the dry wonton instead of the beef noodle. It is fulfilling even it's only 12pcs. (Their beef noodle portion is quite huge for me, I can eat it 1.5times and it is good, but dry wonton is better)
Coming for a snack/lunch solution, always leads me back to Crystal Mall, this time with my partner, and it was her idea to try a dish from this little place. The prices on their small menu are very fair (affordable) and like all the food vendors in this food court, they know what they are doing in terms of wontons. My partner ordered their "spicy wontons" and was definitely surprised with the outcome of this meal. They give you 12 of these dumplings, packed with the spicy sauce that makes this dish spicy and tasty. I love eating spicy food, yet I do tend to sweat, and the beads were dripping from my head to the back of my neck taking a bite from her dish. The one thing we both noticed when picking up the order and bringing it to the table was the dough wrapping they used, as you it has this transparent effect. These are not small dumplings, but the meat they used was tasty, each and every bite. A definite try in this food court when you are just feeling for something without rice, or noodles!
A very pleasant surprise in the lively Crystal Mall! Service is quick while food is delicious and affordable. We got the #7 house hot noodles which was a bit spicy, but tasty and filling. Definitely plan to come back to try more menu items! Tables can be a bit hard to find in the food court as it gets quite busy and lively with lots of people. You'll get a buzzer that will ring when your order is ready. read more
My favorite stall at Crystal Mall with the tastiest spicy wontons! I always only get this one item and get "mild" with the spice on the side. The spicy peanuts (which are part of the "spicy numbing sauce" work really well with the wontons and they put a good amount of filling in each one. Highly recommend giving this specific item a try! read more

I love their dry spicy wontons with roasted peanuts and chilli oil and they're definitely one of the standouts for this food court. Be warned, this dish is spicy! I had it twice, and the first time was medium spicy. The second time I ordered as mild. Mild was also spicy for me. The roasted peanuts and chilli oil really do go together really well and I really like the balance between the soft spicy wontons and crunchy and spicy roasted peanuts. Just remember to have a drink beside you. read more
If you are a fan of spacy noodle or wonton then you must try this place. The dry spicy noodle topped with peanuts is one of their signature item and something I often get whenever I eat at the food court. It's $8.50 per serve and super fulfilling. The store is located towards the back of the food court and seat can be hard to find during peak hour. read more

The dry spicy wontons here are the best on the menu. One order comes with 12 pieces of wontons, peanuts and chilli oil. Flavour-wise, the wontons taste awesome and the peanuts compliment them nicely. I have tried the same wontons in soup before but it was a disappointment in comparison to the dry version. We ordered the soup version with medium level of spiciness but we found that it was much spicier than the dry version. A large portion of the soup was uneatable as it left us gagging each time we swallowed. read more
Located in the Crystal Mall food court, this unassuming food stall serves some award winning dumplings and noodles. Displayed near the cashier is a sign with their top 5 items. We came for the spicy dumplings that came highly recommended and listed at #1. Following up at #2 were their spicy noodles which we ended up ordering as well. I consider myself able to handle spicy foods so we decided to order the maximum level of spiciness for both dishes. Wow, not only were both super spicy but very flavourful too! The spicy noodles had the signature Szechuan peppercorn numbing along with the nice fried chili oil taste and ended up being my preferred option even though there was no meat in the dish. I definitely recommend trying this place if you are a fan of spicy Northern Chinese food. The portions were substantial and very affordable. read more
Yelp is too sparse in Canada and the reviews are not even helpful for a gem like this place (especially with the review numbers being so low for almost every spot in this mall) Had heard many things about this place being the spot for beef noodle soup and was really skeptical of it being in the Crystal Mall food court. Combine that with the fact that they are often closed (business must be good) and I had tempered expectations. After some great pan fried soup dumplings and killer Chinese BBQ, I went for the trifecta and ordered beef brisket and tendon noodle soup. Honestly, the smallish bowl doesn't look like much but many, many patrons during the lunch hour order it. The broth was fantastic. Very flavorful and piping hot. The vegetables were fine, but the tender brisket and tendon pushed it to the top. The noodles were solid and the bowl was gone before I knew it. Chef Hung in Richmond is definitely the nicer and more famous spot for beef noodle soup but this place is legit. It's quite good and much cheaper. Win. Cash Only. read more

Chao Shou Wang's quality of food has made such an impression on me that it has prompted my first review. My girlfriend and I ordered a plate of dry wontons together with Szechuan noodles (cold noodles to my surprise, but very satisfying). Although I requested a mild spice-level for both dishes the heat still prevails; comes on slow and lingers, but it doesn't affect the taste-buds, or ruin the dining experience. The texture of the noodles were silky, stretchy, and very pleasant on the palette. The wontons went down very easily and were the first of the two dishes to disappear. With delicious and affordable food ($14.50 for two) Chao Shou Wang will definitely see us again in the very near future. read more

If you want spicy wontons, you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else, and especially at these ridiculous prices. $6.75 for some good action and nice enough to pick your level. Definitely not the thickest, but the texture, dipped deep in the famous Chinese oil, add in the onions, and lots of roasted peanuts: easy repeat for me. Cash only. read more

I recommend two items off the menu if you love spicy. The spicy wontons and house special noodles (#7). Both are fantastic value and portion size that is good for sharing. Be careful with the chilli oil on the food as it can get a bit messy when sharing. I really enjoyed the roasted peanuts as well. read more

If you want the softest beef that has a tiny bit of tendon melts in your mouth, then this is the place to check out. My new found fav in Crystal mall. The girl at the counter of Chao sau wang said it's Szechuan style food. The Taiwanese noodle next door can't compare softness. As well Ali shan is less soft but it has decent service and nice decor. read more
