Drove to Uptown Chinese restaurant for lunch from Gibsons Landing. The restaurant, which is a good…read moresize, was almost completely empty. There was one other table seated, but that was it. We were somewhat worried about this. Our server was friendly. We asked for lots of lemons/limes with our water and got one slice of lemon each. She didn't really understand the concept of limes, but did go back and get us more lemons. I ordered the Tofu in Salt & Pepper, which is an appetizer, and my friends ordered the spring rolls, which were very nice, Chinese broccoli, and stir fry broccoli in garlic sauce. None of the dishes came with rice, which surprised us. The S&P tofu was spicy, crispy, and delicious. It had small pieces of red and green peppers and onions. It was also fairly spicy, so let them know if you want it milder. They slice the tofu fairly thin, which makes it easier to get crispy I'm sure. My friend's Chinese broccoli was also very tasty. It's not really broccoli but a type of kale with stems that has great health benefits. The stir fry broccoli with garlic sauce didn't have a ton of flavor, but it was cooked well. I really didn't taste much garlic in it, but it was bright green and crunchy. They make their own sauces in house and the yellow mustard was not as spicy as the ones you get pre-packaged. The sweet sauce for the spring rolls was very nice; I added it to my tofu, which went together nicely. The red chili sauce was more sweet than spicy. This was a solid Chinese restaurant, but it did not stand out amongst its peers, hence the 3 star rating.

I am writing this review to share a very concerning experience that took place on June 17th between…read more12:00-2:00 PM at Driftwood Chinese Food in the Rutherford area of Nanaimo, BC. Two individuals I support attended the restaurant with staff, as they do regularly for a monthly outing. Unfortunately, from the moment they arrived, it was clear they were not being treated the same as other customers. Staff present reported that the servers seemed disengaged and reluctant to serve them. After the individuals went through the buffet line, staff at the restaurant immediately followed behind them and wiped down all the utensils, handles, and serving areas they had touched. While cleanliness is expected, this level of targeted cleaning did not occur for other patrons during the two hours they remained there, making it feel very intentional and directed specifically at these two individuals, both of whom use wheelchairs. Throughout the visit, they were not offered drink refills, despite witnessing other tables being checked on repeatedly. Their plates were never cleared, even as surrounding tables were consistently serviced. The difference in treatment was noticeable and deeply concerning. At the end of the visit, one individual had a single dessert tart remaining and politely asked if she could take it to go. The response from staff was unnecessarily harsh, stating that if they allowed that, "everyone would expect free food." This was especially upsetting given that the item could not be reused and would simply be discarded. Overall, the experience left both the individuals and staff feeling singled out and unwelcome. The treatment appeared discriminatory, particularly toward individuals using wheelchairs. One of the individuals has since expressed that she does not want to return, as she felt judged and treated differently because of her disability. I am sharing this review so others--especially those supporting individuals with diverse abilities--are aware of this experience. All customers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I've eaten in many Chineses restaurants here & abroad, & the food here was Damn Decent.!!! I was here last night, Nov 03 '23. I had the beef & tomato chow mien, the Thai chili prawns, & a spring roll. The s roll was mediocre. The B & T chow mien was v. v. good. The beef was everywhere- @ 1st I couldn't get enough noodles, there was so much damn meat. When I went for the noodles, my chop sticks was Always puncturing the sweet, TENDER, beef. The tomatoes were lightly sauted, fresh & substantial, & not to leave the onions out, lightly sauted & a hint of sweetness. The Thai Chili Prawns was also damn good. Lots of Prawns, lightly sauted, & a decent flavour, & the veggies were tender- even the green peppers. The lady who took my order was v warm & friendly. I have Never seen or heard such happy, joyous & V. Courteous customers- it had such a friendly atmosphere. There were so many thx yous, I knew for sure that I was in CANADA. Despite the sign saying " Service is Food Court style", ie. grab it from the counter. She brought my meal to me. In most ways, order & pick up is probably the way to go. There is almost No Ambience, but the tables were clean, & the general atmosphere was so warm & friendly- though the air temp was on the cool side Pay ca$h & save 10%. ENJOY.!!!!!!!!!

We will not be ordering from Fortune Kitchen any more. With our recent order, the vegetarian fried rice and special fried rice were greasy. The deep fried prawns were soggy. (they did not have sauce on top of them so that is not the reason) From reading past reviews it seems they used to allow up to 2 substitutes in the dinners for 2, 4, 6. (at a charge) My husband asked on the phone if we could substitute 2 things and the person he spoke to said no they don't do that. Not worth the $80 spent for just 2 of us.

Location is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Sign is super bright so you definitely don't miss it. Walked in at five and it was empty. Got my order pretty pronto. The couple that run it are very friendly and I was even asked if I wanted a fork or chopsticks, to which I replied chopsticks!! I was looking forward to their version of chicken chow mein, S&S pork and beef chop suey. When I got home no chopsticks. The bright orange S&S sauce threw me off and the bits of what I believe to be chicken was tossed on top. The only saving grace was the beef and vegetables which were tasty. Either use real chicken or don't call it chicken chow mein. And I don't want heavily deep fried pieces of fat. I would have preferred actual pork. I wouldn't order from them agai
