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 only tried the Spicy Chili Wontons with Peanuts but it's very good and would definitely recommend it. I got "mild" but even this is quite spicy. Great flavor and spice, and the dumplings are seasoned well and have a nice texture. read more

Chao Shou Wang - Spicy Chili Wontons with Peanuts - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

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 read more

#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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Chao Shou Wang - Spicy cold noodle - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

If you're into mala and spicy food.. here's the place for you. Very flavorful, nice, oily and....spicy!!!! Just to be warned. Medium spicy is super spicy!! I lived in SE Asia for quite a while and i still cannot handle their spice level!!! It was so spicy to the extent that i was not able to finish their food. My lips hurt for a while too. I absolutely recommend ordering mild level spicy. read more

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 read more

Chao Shou Wang - beef rice noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

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. read more

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. read more

I went here for lunch earlier to get some Dan Dan noodle ($7.75). My food came out fast and the portion was huge. I've noticed how other people ordered noodle dish from here, so I knew I made a good decision ordering food at CSW. As for Dan Dan noodle, I expected dry thick peanut buttery noodle, but this was the one with soup in it. Turns out #7 was the exact dry Dan Dan Noodles I've been looking for. Anyways, the noodle was so delish in mild version. Tons of spices, peanuts and flavours for sure. I felt some chili flakes in my mouth too, and it was just a tiny bit. The more I ate, I felt like I can slurp everything from the bowl. Noodles had good elasticity from the first bite. For small eaters, their noodle is big enough for two people. Beef Noodles is their specialty as well. Great value and huge portion, you'll love this place! read more

I've been to my fair share of beef noodle houses and I would honestly say the beef noodle soup is one of the best I ever had! Ps. Mild spicy will be best for most people out there. read 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. read more

TINGLING SPICY CHILI OIL WONTONS Chao Shou Wang 4500 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC (Inside Crystal Mall) * Ya girl loves all things spicy and all things dumplings . In the same mall as my favorite Xiaolong Bao is another amazing small business food stall with AMAZING Wontons mixed in with peanuts and their spicy chili oil. The wontons have a thing and light wrapper that keeps in a juicy pork filling. The main star though is the chili oil that provides a numbing and tingling feeling that becomes obsessively addicting . If it's too hot, the peanuts really help mend the heat a bit too! Seriously such a good combination ! So good that I may have inhaled half of it before our other food arrived . read more

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) 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

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! read more

Tried the spicy wontons here and it was just the right amount of spice. I opted for a medium spice since I can't handle too much spice but I thought it was nice that they offered free tea haha. The spicy wontons here come with peanuts and I mean, whole AND crushed peanuts sprinkled on top of a nice bed of wontons. *drooling* 12 pc for 8.50 CAD which is next to nothing compared to LA prices! Bring cash for the food court as well if you want to try other things here! It's hard to snag a table so prepare to join with others and meet a new friend. read more

The food court at Crystal Mall is quite the war zone. This establishment is located towards the rear, away from the main corridor part of the food court. Parking is available, if you don't mind the horrible layout of the round parking lot. Having no idea what to order, I went for the #7 House Special noodle. Was it good? Oh yes. I'm a sucker for chili oil, and they douse these noodles in a nice fine film of it. There are other vegetables mixed in, but the noodles are firm and delicious. This place really is a gem. 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

This is my absolute favorite place in BC, simply for the spicy wontons! Oh my! I totally look forward to coming up to BC just for this dish. This food court is literally connected to the Hilton Burnaby via the second floor door. With 200 feet of the elevators is some great food and drinks (bubble tea). So many options but this is my fave! 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

Came here for the dan dan and was not disappointed. You can select the spice level for the dan dan noodle soup. I chose medium and despite the intimidating number of chili flakes the spice level was lower than expected. Go for hot if you like spice. I'm generally not a fan of numbing spice but the levels in the dish were fine for me; just a heads up for those who don't eat much Szechuan food. The real scene stealer were the wontons in chili. The dough was thin, the chili peanuts were plentiful, and the filing was succulent. You know it's going to be good when you can see the Grandma stuffing the wontons at the counter. If you're unfamiliar with the Crystal Mall food court be aware that seating is competitive. Be ready to either settle in with some strangers or send a friend to scout for seats while you order. read more

1 star for their crappy attitude. The cashier is so rude. Their dry noodles is yummy but the cashier is so mean, I can do without. Anyway crystal mall has an awesome Shanghai food outlet that sells yummy xlb and noodles. read more

Favourite stand in crystal mall. I always get the house special spicy noodles and the hot wontons.. The house special spicy noodles is a dry noodle but a peanut sauce and some minced meat. Every bite takes you to flavour town. The peanuts on top of the wonton definitely compliment eachother as well. Agh so good thinking about it I'm going to order some right now 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

Super delicious food! I literally had it 5mins back and couldn't wait to write this review. The flavors are still dancing on my lips - and I am so glad I looked up "Spicy noodles near me..." last night. One bite into my lunch today and I was in Food Heaven. 2 things are a must have here - Spicy wontons and Spicy Noodles. Once you have the Spicy Wontons here, you are spoilt forever. For $10, you get a bed of wontons in chili oil covered in peanuts and shoots - the dish is so damn tasty, my review will probably hardly do justice in explaining it - go and have it, you will thank me! Just a quick caution, the wontons are spicy (more than what you may have had at other places) - so go slow if you are not a big spice eater. Proceed with caution after your initial bite. Coming to the Spicy Noodles, such generous quantity for $9, I am amazed! The noodles are so delicious too - spicy but tangy too, best combo ever! I ordered the spice level at hot and here is my recommendation - if you eat spicy food frequently and have a tolerance for heat, order hot - I think you will enjoy it. But if you are not sure, just stick with medium, I am sure it will give the same kick in favors! Last thing - cash only! ATM is right though. 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

Another gem in the Crystal Mall food court! They're famous for their spicy wontons, but they make hand pulled noodles! I ordered the cold sesame noodles and spicy wontons: mild haha! The noodles were awesome: they were perfectly al dente, had a great bounce to them, and had bite! As for their spicy wontons, while the skin was good, not too doughy or thick, and was dosed with a generous amount of spices/chilli, I've definitely had better. Still good for a food court though! read more

We finally decided to try the dry spicy wontons and they were so delicious! The peanuts and chili oil made it so tasty, and the wontons weren't too heavy. Would definitely recommend! read more

After discovering China (Crystal Mall) across the street from Metropolis Metrotown, I gleefully circled like a ravenous shark until sinking my teeth into Chao Sho Wang, an excellent source of spicy won ton soup (or dry if you prefer). The pork won tons were very fresh and seasoned perfectly! My wife and I shared a bowl (12 won tons) and are dying to return for a second feast. A shaved ice joint directly adjacent to Chao Sho Wang will conveniently cool your tongues for dessert. 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.

As well Ali shan is less soft but it has decent service and nice decor. read more

Used to be my favorite place but now it just stopped caring. Always loved number 13. Recently another price hike occuted, and $7 literally gives me noodles and nothing else. The cashier(s) in recent months always look so angry. Last time I went I was super excited and ended up feeling very meh because the cashier looked so apathetic and looked like she hated her job. You've lost me and I'm going to try other things in the food court instead. read more
