We ordered the string beans, the Peking duck set, and a chicken dish. Overall, the food was solid but felt more Cantonese than Sichuan, so it did not really hit the spicy, bold flavors I was expecting. That said, it is good value for what it is, and overall a decent restaurant. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, which worked well for us. Nothing was especially mind blowing, but the dishes were reliable and well executed. read more

ChongQing is one of my go-to lunch spots for Chinese food when I'm in downtown Vancouver. The lunch specials are affordable, filling, and tasty. I got the green beans with Chicken in black bean sauce. It came with rice and a soup, to make it a decent sized meal. read more

We ordered beef on Chinese broccoli and chicken chowmein. The chowmein was a 5/10. It had way too much smoke added. The beef and Chinese broccoli was terrible. 1/10. The beef smelled old and had brown thick type of gravy on it that you would make from a powder to put on mash potatoes.. GROSS DONT EAT HERE. THEY EVEN TRIED TO MAKE US PAY FOR THE BEEF & BROCCOLI which we returned read more

So I ordered a bit later to closing and this is what I got. The other two one bite was taken and then thrown out. Not sure how long this sat under a heat lamp but it wasn't like all my previous experiences with their food. This is the second time in a row I've noticed a drop in quality. I'm sorry, but when you order 5 dishes costing a little over $100 dollars, you expect quality. Other dishes were okay, but definitely not hot and fresh. read more

ChongQing - Spring roll - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have ordered from this restaurant for years and today got the worst meal l have ever had from them. Hot and sour soup had no flavour at all, hot water and peppers, no sign of sweetness or sour. The cashew chicken and beef with green pepper and black bean sauce were also both very very bland. The only dish that was up to par was the plain steamed rice. Paying $70 for a restaurant meal should guarantee some level of quality, apparently that is no longer the case at Chongqing. l am extremely disappointed and will be looking elsewhere next time l want Szechuan food. read more

All 5 Star We've been regular if not frequent customers. We recommend highly to all. Clean Fresh Friendly to Everyone Food is excellent!!! Order to table time is impressive but sometimes too many items brought to table too quickly so no time to enjoy each item. Ginger Beef. That's all I need say. Eat it. Tastes are amazing and texture changes with every bite. read more

I got some takeout and everything was really good. My rather fussy dining companion really enjoyed the chicken with pineapple and the Szechuan fried chicken and shrimp. When I went to pick up the food I noticed the restaurant was bright and clean and the server was very pleasant. I walked right by it the first time. It's hard to spot but worth the search. read more

For the past two days have been craving for Chinese food. have been going through yelp to find a good place to eat, so tried this place . We came from Shanghai so we really have high expectations re Chinese food . The service was quick and food was served quickly . But somehow something was missing from the taste . We just liked the fried rice and the chicken . The gyoza was not so good . Even the beef and wonton was just ok. quantity is huge . You just should know what to order. read more

I was excited to order their beef chow mein. They use the correct noodles and fry it crispy like how it's supposed to be. I currently live in a city where I can't get this dish so I no longer take it for granted when I am able to eat it. The beef is super tender, the sauce is delicious and the portion is very generous. They do however lack in their hot pepper department-- they need to order some hot chili crisp oil sauce. The hot and sour soup was really tasty too. I felt like the mushrooms didn't go well with it though (at least not in whole pieces). It could definitely use some other fillers to give it some substance. read more

Used to love this place. Went in for lunch and ordered Ginger beef and a beef n broccoli from lunch menu. Ginger beef was dry and hard (to the point of crunchy hard). Parts had sauce over it and some didn't, as if it was leftovers from night before. Beef and broccoli while not suffering the hardened texture was so salty! I downed 2 full glasses of water and 2 cups of tea (tea was fine) Such a shame too as I went in months ago with friends for dinner and everything was great (most likely because it was made fresh then as we had a group) I ordered door dash since then and it was not as good as in house but nothing like lunch menu. I can remember coming here for lunch back in 2017 and it had lots of ppl inside and was great. It seems that it has slid considerably downhill quality wise. Oh the lunch comes with soup as well... we both got the chicken corn. It was below mid, tasting ok but with a fatty mouth feel to it. Would avoid I think from now on unless going with a group for dinner as it's seems like the only time you can get food decent here. read more

Very filling and satisfying food! We came around 7:30pm on a Saturday night (rainy) and it was pretty empty. The server was attentive and kept refilling our water. Both were very sweet and answered our questions. My vegan friend ordered the spicy tofu and said it was great! It was fried and very crispy, but still light and fluffy inside. He said it could use a little more flavor, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The string beans, deep fried spicy fish with rock salt, and ginger beef we shared were also great! The string beans were crunchy and flavorful, but a little bit too salty for me. The fish was very light and crispy with a good amount of flavor. The ginger beef flavor was good, but it was a little bit dry and chewy. The servers gave us some chili oil which just made everything that much better. If we lived in Vancouver, we'd probably be back more often! read more

Hey it's St Paddy's weekend so you know what that means - time for Chinese food! LOL We ended up on Robson street as part of our extended walking tour of downtown having started back in Yaletown earlier. Had not been to Chongqing in years. Last time I went was to their Commercial Drive location. I fondly remember having many a plate of Ginger Beef there over the years! In fact it was so good I remember taking out of town relatives there whom were so hesitant on Chinese food. Put it this way - they didn't want to leave after we ate!!! I'm happy to say the warm, helpful & kind service still exists here! OK this location is very small but keep in mind you shouldn't have to wait too long if it's full house. Service is prompt & efficient. This is Robson Street afterall so most people are wanting to eat quick & get back out to go people watching or shopping! We had Stir Fried Scallops, Cantonese BBQ Duck & Fried Green Beans. Very tasty, flavourful & with slight heat! Loved it! I never was really into duck up until the last few years. I'm catching up for all the years I missed out on having it! Ha Chongqing see you sooner than later! read more

Excellent Chinese restaurant, cozy and well managed in a small space. Service was remarkable, no matter was Saturday at lunch time. We had BBQ Duck , and one of the lunch special with corn chicken soup , brócoli and chicken lettuce wraps . All dishes were outstandingly delicious, generous portions and well presented. Things to notice, the waiter suggested me to ask only half portion of BBQ Duck , because I order full size, and it could be to much , kindly appreciated his suggestion , and so far it is the only restaurant that starts with 10% tip, others start with minimum 18 %. We had a great time , fully packed delicious place but they could handle it and extremely well and very affordable . Can't wait to go back. read more

I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the food. The portions were big. I got takeouts and their rule is that you have to order full orders and not half (cuz some dishes have the option to get half sized but only available for dine-in) I got 4 dishes - the deep fried tofus in red sauce, their special fried rice, stir fried string beans in szchesuan sauce, and a chicken dish. They all shared one brown, murky colour. No flavours in all of the dishes (except the tofu dish). My favourite was the tofu because they actually had a bit of a taste and the colour of the tofu really stood out read more

My friend A flew from overseas to meet me, and I decided to take her to ChongQing for Thanksgiving Day lunch. We hoped to find some lunch specials, but there wasn't any on the menu. I've previously tried Tan Tan noodle, lettuce wrap with beef and Hot and Sour soup before, so I ordered Tan Tan noodle ($9.95). A did the same except her Tan Tan noodle came with porkchop ($9.95 as well). Our food was delicious and filling. It had peanut buttery smoothness with spiciness. I had to admit mine was spicy whereas A's Tan Tan noodle combo was less spicy. Pork chop that came along with Tan Tan noodle was tasty. It came out fresh and also had a hint of curry powder. Service was a bit slow because it was short staffed there. Waitress and the owner were so busy doing serving, bringing food and etc. I loved the portion of Tan Tan noodle and both of us couldn't finish our food. read more

Two words. Peking duck. Don't stray from this. And they only have 3 a day so roll the dice that the odds are in your favor. Everything else was a miss. Even kind of the Peking duck. (Apparently you will only get the skins and none of the meats because they will save it to make other things) so if you order the 3 course meal. You'll have a gooey version of egg drop duck soup and lettuce cups that are pretty good too. But these are the only redeeming factors. We ordered green beans, Dai Ching chicken, and Mongolian beef. Holy SALT. This food was inedible and they all used the. same. exact. sauce. Literally someone in the kitchen was like, let me put some MSG, add some salt, XO sauce. Oh and they want it on three dishes? More salt!!! Their salt and pepper pork ribs were the only other thing that we could eat. And unfortunately the rest of our food went to waste. So if you're coming here. Just stick with the Peking duck. read more

After spending $95 there, I got scolded by the delivery guy because I didn't leave a tip. First, tips are discretionary, I hate how nowadays it's become expected every time. I'll leave a tip when there is good service and when I feel like it. The fact that this delivery dude complained actually ruined my diner. Last time I'll be spending my money there! How entitled! read more

Service: Ordered delivery and service was extremely lacking. We ordered early anticipating they'd be busy due to the holiday and our food still took two hours to be delivered. When we tried to call to check on our order ... nobody picked up. Onto the food... Vegetable spring rolls: Severely lacking and barely had any vegetables in it. Beef with broccoli: Flavor was actually good but ... there was barely any beef. For a $19 entree I would have expected significantly more beef. Dai Ching chicken: Flavor was good but the chicken was so dry and tough. Tasted more like a jerky. Also, we got the bone-in chicken so ... while we expected bone in it, there was barely any meat on it. Shanghai Chow Mein with Pork: Chow mein was good! Not the best I've had but definitely the plate we liked most of all of them. Fried rice with bbq pork: Also good. Similarly liked this dish. read more

A cute cozy restuarant in Chinatown. We came here because of the Peking duck. We had Peking ducks many times in East Coast and never had Peking duck skin without meat until we had it here lol Full order of Peking duck skin consists of simply 6 pieces of duck skin and 6 pieces of duck that has meat and skin attached together. No sauces on the table, just oyster sauce that came with the dish. The meat was a bit too dry. I liked my Peking duck from East Coast way better. Sweet and sour soup......not sour enough. Yes, it was sweet, it was sour but when it's all together it was bland. I like sweet and sour and I can eat alot but it was a disappointment at this place. Server was very neutral, didn't feel very welcoming. A sense of bleh. read more

I came to Vancouver BC solely for the Chinese food and this place did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I ordered the won ton with red pepper and peanut sauce, orange peel chicken, fried green beans szechuan style, and the shanghai chow mein with shredded pork. The service was below average, it seemed there were not enough staff to tend to the customers making the sit down and ordering time long. Red pepper and peanut sauce: Great flavor, however too much sauce, pretty large portion size! Orange peel chicken: We ordered the full portion, for two people I would recommend ordering the half size. Great flavor, but small pieces of chicken. Fried green beans szechuan style: AMAZING. Best dish we had, this is a must try. There was great flavor, perfectly salted, crunchy with the right about of "char" on the outside. Highly recommend. Shanghai chow mein with shredded pork: 2nd best dish we ordered. Perfectly flavored and salted. We loved the bigger noodles. Recommendations are more staff and offering to make dishes more spicy! Would definitely come back! read more

Good food and service! After a long day of walking, the boyfriend and I stumbled upon Chongqing and decided to give them a try. We were immediately greeted and seated. Soon after, we received our hot tea, which was delicious and constantly refilled throughout the meal. We ordered from their lunch menu: - Chicken Corn Soup - Ginger Beef - Wonton w/ Red Pepper and Peanut Sauce The Chicken Corn Soup was tasty and super satisfying. The Ginger Beef was fantastic! It was my favorite out of what we ordered. It was flavorful and had a nice crunch to it. And lastly the Wonton w/ Red Pepper and Peanut Sauce was alright. There was a good balance of heat from the peppers and creaminess of the peanut sauce. It was definitely something new for me. However, the sauce is a bit heavy so after a few bites I was done. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but clean and nicely decorated. Staff was attentive, food was good and affordable, and I LOVE their playlist. They were playing nonstop 90's and 2000's R&B and hip-hop! Yesss! read more

I highly recommend this place!! My family of 4 were visiting Canada for the first time and were looking for a good Chinese place. If you are looking for some dishes that are bit more on the spicy side, this is the place! The place is a bit tiny, but we went on a weekday for lunch and there was no wait. I would recommend reserving in advance if you have a big group. We ordered the deluxe fried rice, orange peel chicken, and Canadian broccoli with garlic sauce. ALL WERE GOOD!! I recommend every single dish. The fried rice is not spicy, but the orange chicken is a bit spicy (we like spicy food). The service was very good, and they refilled our tea in a very timely manner. I would definitely come here again!! read more

My partner and I like to occasionally order good old fashioned Canadian-Chinese food but these restaurants are getting increasingly rare given the amount of far more authentic Chinese cuisine in this city. Someone suggested ChongQing so we thought we'd give it a try and I have to say it was just OK. The wontons in the soup had some kind of formless mystery meat in them (even more mysterious than usual). The ginger beef was dried out and stringy. The chow mein was like mush. I see some good reviews for this place so I'm willing to accept maybe this is just my taste but frankly I wasn't impressed. read more

Solid 4. Best potstickers we've had in a long time. Also enjoyed General Tsao's and Mongolian Beef. All very traditional and well done. Big portions! Beware!!! :)) Glad we came. Small little place. Seems like they do a busy take out and delivery business, but they were very attentive to us. We enjoyed and would return. read more

Ordered take out food. Chicken chow mein and Ginger beef Cost with tip and tax $40.00 No chicken in the chow mein, just some small slices of onion. Noodles, not the best. Order number on the menu was 99. Certainly did not look like it was pictured. Ginger beef, was tough, had to use a knife to cut it into smaller bite size pieces. read more

Really enjoyed their food! Recommend the ginger beef, hot and sour soup, moo shu pork as well as Shanghai noodles with pork and shrimp. Got it delivered and was very hot and fresh. read more

I normally always order from this restaurant but the last time I ordered was very disappointing. The sweet-and-sour pork was a container full of mush and gristle. no sweet-and-sour sauce it all soaked into the mush and then they put peas in it. The egg rolls were the little frozen ones you can get at Costco and they charged me almost $10 for eight of the little egg rolls. No sweet-and-sour sauce for some reason they gave me Duck Sauce. Not happy at all. Very disappointed read more

The food we had combined with the reviews this place has was just bizarre. It's just..not good chinese food. We got Mapo Tofu and the Dai Ching Chicken. Both were rather bland and lacked any trace of the spice and peppercorn flavor you'd expect from Chongqing food. Even stranger was how the spice the Dai Ching Chicken did have seemed to come mostly from massive amounts of ginger rather peppers. Maybe the move here is to order NOT chongqing food since many of the positive reviews seem to be talking about those dishes. Service was good though. read more

When I think of Chongqing, I think of hot food on cold winter days. And with good reason - all the times I've been here, the food is served piping hot, and the spicy dishes actually have some genuine capsaicin kick. My visit today was illustrative of why I love this place so much. I ordered two dishes - the wontons in red pepper and peanut sauce, and the deluxe dandan noodles (called tan tan on the menu) with a minced pork sauce. I wasn't sure what my portions would look like, but Chongqing overdelivered - the wontons alone would have been a respectable lunch for one person, and should really be split between two or more people, while the bowl of dandan noodles was huge. I'd never had dandan noodles, so it looked a bit like a watery and fairly light soup at first glance, but as I dug in I found it was packed with tons of noodles and a thick, rich, creamy broth that was moderately spicy, tasted of peppers and peanuts and a lot of seasoning, and clung deliciously to the noodles. Plus, service was great. I was immediately offered free tea, which was refilled very quickly; staff were polite and friendly, and the food was ready surprisingly quickly. And finally, each of my very hearty portions was only about $10 - I overate and would have been happy with just one of them, which makes this place really affordable too. Long story short - Chongqing is a great place, and I need to come here more often! read more

I go to this place regularly. Today I ordered the beef and celery noodle soup for take out. Got home and there is no broth with the soup, only noodles and toppings. I called and they told me that I need to specify that want the broth on the side. Odd, because I've ordered this soup once a month and never had to do that before. So now I have the beef and celery noodle dish. read more

What appears to be an average restaurant from the outside, is actually a gem of restaurant once you step inside. Though it looks small, you actually don't feel cramped at all once seated. The place was clean, nicely decorated, and has incredibly friendly and expedient wait service. The food- 5 stars all the way. From the unlimited complimentary tea, to the chow mein and honey garlic beef, it was high quality and delicious all around. This was by far the best food we had while visiting Vancouver for a week. read more

We had been there many times, one chef cooks pretty good, another not as much. I happened to order the same dish, two days in a row, and the second time they brought me a completely different stuff. Plus if you don't like it, ask to change, they keep bringing the same stuff. Overall edible, but the quality decreased with years. read more

This review is based only on my take-out order during COVID. I ordered 1 whole order of the 1 course Peking duck (duck skin with crepes only) for $34.95. I'll be reviewing the following specific items: 1. Duck skin - (1/5) The duck skin was tough and extremely chewy - borderline not edible. This had me thinking - "is my stomach able to digest this?" 2. Tortilla wrap - (1/5) The wraps were stale and also hard to digest. Overall, I do not recommend ordering the Peking duck as this was a disappointment and definitely not worth your money. Would I come back again to Chongqing and try other dishes? Not anytime soon. There are plenty of other delicious restaurants around the area to order from. read more

Chong Qing Fang Dien was pretty popular casual Chinese restaurant in downtown. Small restaurant kept max capacity at any moment and lots of take out customers were waiting outside. We had San La Tang 酸辣湯, Ma Bo Dofu 麻婆豆腐, Honey hope BBQ蜜焼猪 , Shredded Chicken Stir Noodle 糸鶏炒麺. San La tan was worceter source flavor, it was unique, but it was another taste. Ma Bo Dofu was more oyster sauce flavor. Onion was joyful crispy and very good! 重慶飯店。大繁盛。小さな店がずっと満席。サンラータン、麻婆豆腐、蜂蜜豚、鳥細切り焼きそば。どれも美味しかったです。量が多いので、日本人ならハーフサイズで十分です！Enjoy! read more
