As I walked into the restaurant, I was taken aback by being asked to pay before I ate, which then meant I had to go back and pay for beverages when our meal was done.

I came with a group tour and this happened to be the restaurant chosen for our meals on two…read moreoccasions. The restaurant atmosphere is definitely tacky and fails miserably at imitating a chic Chinese restaurant, yet not ghetto enough to represent an authentic street Chinese experience. The utensils given were wooden, the table cloths were plastic and the towelettes were plastic packaged; definitely not environmentally sensitive. The food that was provided was definitely subpar even given the preset meals by the tours. The flavours were bland, cheap and for one dish (which I would refer to as "regurgitated spam") was absolutely a grotesque experience to swallow. The fact there are black flies zooming around the restaurant is absolutely disgusting, some even landing on the food left isolated on the table next to us. The wait staff were decent enough to provide us with tea and extra rice when we asked for it because our tables seated a large group. However, once the food is served by them, good luck. They have NOT ONCE checked in on us to see if we needed anything and clear dishes (by the way the restaurant is empty...). This wouldn't be as infuriating but when I went up with the pot to ask for more tea when no staff came by for five minutes, the cashier whom I believe is the owner did not even look up, rolled her eyes and rudely say "don't ask me, go ask someone inside" and rudely waved me off. As a Chinese individual myself, please spare yourselves of this poor excuse of a Chinese restaurant establishment and find an alternative elsewhere. If I had it my way, I would never have paid for this crap experience and take my business to the 7-Eleven next door. However, if you're looking to waste your money on low-quality Chinese food (if we can even call the substance they serve that) and ghastly service, then this is the spot for you!

All the dishes there taste worse than those cheap Chinese all you can eat buffets. I don't think the chefs are even Chinese because it tasted so westernized and the tea they provided was watery. Eww. If you want some good Chinese food in Canada, don't come here but if you come with a tour, then expect this.

Other customers came in while we were there and she did not force them to pay first. I told her I am a very small eater and asked if I could have a child's smorgasbord or one plate price. She said yes then tried to charge me for a full smorgasbord. I decided not to have it as its just to expensive for how much I eat.My daughter had smorgasbord and ate one full plate and half of her second plate. She did not want to waste it so asked for a small to go container for half the 2nd plate. Again, met with utter rudeness like asking for a container for food you paid for is unheard of. I will never ever ever go back here again, we decided to give her another chance after she has been rude in the past. No go. I am currently enjoying my panago.

My wife and I ordered take out from Purple Panda a couple weeks ago. Disappointing. First,…read moreofferings of both Thai and Chinese cuisine, maybe trying to broaden their customer base, did not work well with authentic preparation nor flavours. Do one or the other. We are Chinese seniors having grown up in Vancouver so we've had over 6 decades of experiencing the Asian culinary scene evolve in that time into something pretty spectacular when in the right hands. But what we got for $69 was meagre to say the least (pic attached). Maybe if this quantity was from Wild Blue or Bearfoot or Araxi, sure, but of course quality of everything would be over the top. We are also privy to Whistler prices for everything is higher than in Vancouver, but, "Where's the beef"? We'd like to see an Asian restaurant succeed in the Upper Village, but our patronage here has yet to be won. Too bad because we've seen almost a half dozen different restaurants come and go from this storefront. A couple were excellent and we were sad to see them disappear, but that was about 25 years and 15 years ago. Good Thai can be had with a car at Barn Nork near Green Lake/Alpine Meadows.
