    A fusion of Indian-Chinese cuisine Went there for lunch with my friend... had the lunch special menu which is available on weekdays I believe. The lunch menu selection is wide, lots of options from rice to noodles, it also includes a pop for the lunch special. I ordered the fish curry & my friend ordered the sweet & sour fried shrimp. My curry had a hint of spice, the fish was good. Restaurant is clean & basic Parking is plentiful along the street at Rupert & dome parking spaces in that small mall. Owner, Cheryl is very friendly. Check them out.

    Really solid spot for Indian Chinese food! A really interesting restaurant with flavourful dishes. We got the small minced beef egg white soup to share, as well as the Manchurian beef fried rice and mambo chicken (similar to sweet and sour pork but more unique). Really well seasoned with a spicy kick. Portions are generous and I had to pack some for takeout! There is also a small parking lot and free parking on Rupert St.

    As a Chinese, sometimes is glad that my friend would like to recommend some Chinese style restaurant for me. When I enter the restaurant, I was surprised. Since the whole restaurant are all packed and super busy! And there are no any Chinese there! Until I saw the menu, " Fine Indian style Chinese Cuisine ", I tell myself no wonder for this situation and I am really looking forward to try it! My friend suggested this sweet and garlic chicken, and we also ordered seafood soup and seafood fried rice. I love garlic! So the chicken taste was wonderful! And the seafood fried rice also got wok scents. Nice to try and wish I can try more other dishes next time!

    One friend liked the food here, another disliked it. So far I have been here twice and the food was ok. The one who liked it loved the chili chicken. The other one felt it was too much soy sauce. The corn soup and fried rice were standard like other typical Chinese restaurants. I prefer the dishes with less sauce as the sauce could be too much in flavor. I do like that you could get pappadum here and the place is halal? Or at least no pork is served so I can dine here with friends who have restrictive diets. The parking lot in front is very tiny and very tight in parking space. I think it may be better to just park on the street off kingsway. Call ahead for pick up and there is a 10% or 15% off the main dishes (excludes rice and noodles etc).

    Chicken Sweet Corn Soup

    Wanted to try Indo-Chinese food at a place other than Green Lettuce so came here after reading some of the reviews.. Ordered Chicken Corn Soup (4**** for hot out of 5) which was very tasty, had lots of corn and diced chicken pieces. Did add some soy sauce, salt and vinegar green chillies to boost the flavor.. Also ordered Chili Chicken and White Rice. The Chicken was crispy but the sauce was a little too dark and bland even after asking for 4 **** The ambience was comfortable enough.. The Server was a SUPER kind lady who was very attentive and polite... May come back here to try a few more items like Chow-Mein and Pepper Fish.. Overall a decent experience (Pro-Tip that might irritate the owners - if You leave a tip, it does not go to the servers, the owners take it, which is utterly sad)

    Based on all the reviews and hearsay from my friends they claimed that this is best place to eat Indian-Chinese foods. Over rated for me,service is very friendly,but kinda slow. Its located on a corner lot with small parking on an even lot, shared with other business in this block.kinda hilly place.,street parking is available as well. The foods? I ordered ine of my favorite fried rice,the salted fish and diced chicken and i was kinda frustrated bec my expectations were all based on what I read and heard.,very ordinary actually not so good comparing to what I had from other restaurants that serves thesame. For my main entree I got the Manchurian beef,this one compensate for all the frustrations I had,meat was tender,the sauce was cooked just the way I like it,the spiciness was just right,I enjoyed it,not so generous serving portion in here and the place isnt cheap. Overall my experience in here was just average.. Noise level is kinda loud other patrons talks so loud. Try it yourself guys maybe I need to taste other dishes from their menu but for now I am just giving it a 3 star.

    Chili Pepper House is one of the few Hakka (aka. Indo-Chinese) restaurants in town. They're located in a tiny plaza across the street from a VPL branch. We dropped in on a Wednesday (around 12:15pm) and it was reasonably busy with a couple tables occupied. Service is no frills and our waitress wasn't the most helpful. Menu is massive with over 250 dishes listed. Their weekday lunch specials are dirt cheap ($8.50) but they only offer very generic, Chinese dishes. We stuck with their chef's recommended dishes. - Rice ($4.25) - not a very large portion of rice to share between two. - Chili chicken (dark meat & boneless) (#38) ($14.30) - one of our buddies who loves this place suggested we try their chili chicken. Decent but it only comes with onions and sauce. - Spicy ginger & garlic beef (dry) (#60) - we were having trouble deciding what else to get so we asked the waitress and this was her suggestion. It reminded me of beef with broccoli except that there was onions and some chili peppers. Nothing memorable. Not even much heat to it. No plans to come back anytime soon. CPH didn't enthral our taste buds.

    Chili paneer
    Chelsey H.

    Stopped in here last week on the recommendation of how great this place is. I've always heard about fusion Chinese-Indian food but never had the chance to try it out. This review is more of a 2.5. So, we were pitched the Manchurian Chicken so we felt we had to order that. We also saw the Chili Paneer, hot chili wings and Masala Fried Rice that caught out eyes. For Indian Food and Chinese Food to both be packed with such flavour, we were underwhelmed. The Manchurian Chicken looks like it's going to be super flavourful and give something off but it tasted like it was covered in literally gravy (not that it looked like it but just comparing taste). The chili paneer was good, a little spicy but still lacking anything for me. I guess the whole vibe was that everything was basically just savoury bland. We couldn't taste any spice but maybe we just ordered the wrong combo of things. Wings were hot but I wasn't a fan of whatever they are coated in (yes, I realize it's chili flakes but it seemed a little off). Service wasn't great - we never got more than our initial glass of water. The fortune cookie tasted cheap. Maybe it was the expectations.. but it just didn't deliver. I'll read more reviews if I dare visit again to see what's amazing.

    Assorted vegetables with Manchurian sauce
    Matt B.

    We've been doing takeout from here for about 6 years, and the food quality is consistently excellent -- one of our favourite Chinese places in Vancouver food-wise. As we're vegan, this place has a huge selection of vegetarian (mostly vegan) items. We have our favourite dishes, but we tend to rotate between a few. We usually either get the kung pao tofu with cashew nuts or Hunan tofu, the okra curry, and a mixed veggie dish (either with manchurian or black bean sauce). Their Manchurian veggie balls are a delightful treat as well. And their vegetarian hot & sour soup is a great way to start the meal. The owner, Cheryl, is very friendly and treats me well. But the service in general is pretty lacklustre, often disorganized and behind on orders. Also, they recently increased their prices, which is totally fine -- costs rise, I understand. But then they also suddenly stopped offering 15% off many (most?) dishes, so the initial 10-15% price rise turned into an effectively 25-30% rise. I did not appreciate this latter price hike at all, as it seems deceptive. If you need to raise prices more, just be transparent about it, or explicitly state that you no longer do the take-out discount. As of now, the menu still says 15% off main dishes, but this discount is not honoured on most dishes. Not appreciated. Cheryl, if you're reading this, it'd be nice if you could be more transparent about this; I see that on Google, many people have noticed this and are rightfully upset about it. All in all, I still love this place. Don't expect great service, but the food is awesome.

    What was left of our wonderful meal.

    Quick efficient service. Server made several excellent recommendations which we enjoyed very much. We had fried chili tofu appetizer, ginger garlic beef, and chicken chow mein. Lots of flavour and just the right amount of spicy.

    My friend and I were not too impressed with the food here. We were in the area and since he wanted Indian and I wanted Chinese, I thought this would be the perfect compromise. We stopped by for an early dinner around 5:30 on a Sunday and it was pretty empty. I started with their chicken wings and continued on to my main dish of fish in black bean sauce. The chicken wings were completely bland and had way too much batter. I ended up having to adding salt to make it palatable, and even then, I only ate about half of them. Probably some of the worst Chinese wings I've ever had. The fish in black bean sauce was decent and came with large enough portions that I took half home and had it for lunch the next day. My friend went with a paneer curry but was not impressed with it at all. He also ordered some bread to eat it with on the side, and the naan looked like they bought it frozen and reheated it up. Next time we want good Indo-Chinese food, we'll stick to our regular Green Lettuce. We definitely won't be back.

    Seafood chowmein
    Mari E.

    I have never tried Hakka dishes and glad to come here. We ordered four dishes and each has hint from Malaysian, Indian and Chinese. It's quite hard where is the origin but everything delicious. Unfortunately between the server and us, there was misunderstanding and half of them were not what we ordered. But as we were super hungry, that's ok. Haha We liked seafood chowmein, very thick egg noodle. Kinda rich smoky sweet sauce on it.

    I've been dining here for more than once and CPH is a wonderful Indo-Chinese fusion experience. Price isn't cheap, but they make really good food here. I honestly can't pick one between Indian Wok and Chilli Pepper House lol. The food here is full of flavours and my family and I couldn't stop sweating after eating our food. These are what I ordered today: 101. Mambo Beef ($13.50), 130. House Style Garlic Fried Fish ($13.30), 27. Seafood Hot and Sour soup (med $7.99) and 216. Masala Seafood Fried Rice ($13.50) they were all pretty good. I regret not ordering any vegetarian dish, but we were already full from eating. Check out my photo for lunch specials (from L1-L26 are all $8.95). Try Chilli Pepper House this place is worth it!

    A Gastronomic Awakening in Chinatown! You don't truly know…read moreuntil you go--and now that I've been, I'm haunted. As I write this, I am literally still dreaming of the Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork. It didn't just "eat" well; it dissolved into a decadent, sweet, fatty puddle of pure bliss. Walking in, the vibe is quintessential Chinatown: a bustling counter, a glass case showcasing glistening roasted treasures, and a seating area that trades fancy decor for pure, functional authenticity. We were clearly out of our element, probably looking like deer in headlights, but the staff met our confusion with warm smiles. Then came Bobby--the absolute heart and soul of this place. We walked in expecting the standard American-Chinese routine, but Bobby whisked us away to a cozy table and treated us like family. He started us off with a fragrant jasmine tea so naturally sweet and floral it didn't need a grain of sugar--perfect for a biting winter night. While we flirted with the Happy Hour menu, Bobby took the reins. You don't say no to a man with that much charisma and passion! On his expert recommendation, we pivoted to the Two-Meat Combo (BBQ Pork + Soy Chicken) with a side of their famous Roast Duck. The food arrived in a lightning-fast 10 minutes, but the real treat was Bobby's play-by-play on how each dish was prepared. You can taste the pride in every bite. The balance was masterclass: a symphony of sweet, salty, and umami. The meats were succulent, the skins were shattery-crisp, and the glazes were perfectly sticky. The undisputed heavyweight champion, however, was that Hong Kong BBQ Pork. Imagine the best "burnt ends" of your life, drenched in a caramelized, mouth-watering sauce that demands your full attention. We left Chinatown BBQ feeling more than just sated--we felt enlightened. If you're looking for a "one in a million" meal, let Bobby order for you. You won't regret it.

    Unbelievable. Came here on a whim. Not a huge menu, but…read morestraight to the point. The noodle soup was bland and boring. Should've stuck with rice. The char siu and soy sauce chicken were both cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The green scallion sauce was not necessary but it was still delicious ! Would've been great over rice. The extra fatty char siu the server gave me to try was over the top! Perhaps the best char siu I've had to date. My server, Bobby? Did a fantastic job and was very informative and I can tell he really likes what he does thru his enthusiasm

The standouts were the seafood fried rice and the green onion lobster and crab stir-fry -- rich, comforting, and generously flavoured, the kind of dishes that quietly anchor a long meal. It was a busy holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed. Our original 7:00 p.m. reservation was delayed until 8:00 p.m., leaving many of us waiting outside in the cold. Once seated, the pacing felt off, with dishes arriving out of sequence, which gave the meal an oddly disjointed rhythm. A small apology or update from the staff would have been welcome, but none came. Overall, the food was very tasty, and I would consider returning -- particularly to explore more of their seafood offerings.

However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.
