the front of the restaurant
Josephine M.

Ming's Garden is just across from Capilano Mall on Marine Dr. in North Vancouver. We'd ordered some takeout food from here once before, and it was quite good back then. As we hadn't ordered from here in awhile, we decided to give it a try, just to have a bit of a change from any of our usual "go to" Chinese restaurants on the North Shore. Scallops with Snow Peas Deep Fried Fish Cod Fillet with Sweet & Sour Sauce Seafood Chow Mein (crispy) Shrimp Foo Young Unfortunately the food was not as good this time as it had been the last time we ordered from here. The main issue we found with the food this time was that much of it was too salty. Flavors and textures were fine, but the excess salt made it difficult to enjoy the food. Might be awhile before we try coming back here again. Service: Good Parking: Parking at rear, according to their website (I got dropped off and went through the front to pick up our food, so I never actually saw the rear of the restaurant!) Location: 965 Marine Dr., North Vancouver

Absolute disgusting food. I ordered a chicken rice plate. The small pieces of chicken were all disgusting, filled with fat. The veggies were uncooked. Making rice chicken is not rocket science but for these guys it really is.

the time is right to make new friends

Barf. Singapore noodles and Chicken Chow M that looked the same except for curry...three fortune cookies (stale, not in plastic) all with the same fortune written on each. We really couldn't have been more disappointed.

Ordered House special rice. There was only two tiny shrimp and three tiny pieces of mushroom and nothing much else. Complete rip off.

So I did end up at this restaurant again after all. Not by my own choice though. Other people…read morepicked this place and we came for dim sum this time. I didn't see the final bill for this meal and as I just finished rereading what I wrote last time about the prices for this restaurant, don't think I want to know what the bill was for this meal. This is pretty much the only place on the North Shore where you can get dim sum. Most items are pretty decent. I do love the Har Gow here. Very generously sized. There was a lovely eggplant dish that I wouldn't have minded another basket of. Westlake soup was the starter for the meal. I skipped on that since I don't eat meat, and even if I did, I can't stand cilantro. Most other people on the table seemed to enjoy the soup though...except for my daughter who takes after her mother when it comes to cilantro! Heard the Siu Mai dumplings were very hard. No issues with the rest of the food though.

Unfortunately this Westview is not the same Westview I know from years ago ... food quality and…read moreflavour has gone down hill ( Hot & Sour Soup was served lukewarm ) Siu Mai was tasteless and meat was dry!

We visited on July 1 2026 and put our name down around 7:30. There were lots of people outside and almost everyone in the restaurant was speaking Chinese so we figured that's a great sign. We politely asked if they knew approximately how long it will take and Sophia responded "don't know" and walked away. We waited outside for an hour and we were confused why other people who got there after us were being called before us. I went inside to check the clipboard with the waitlist and there are tablets on the board covering the names. Sophia is standing there and looks at the covered board and at me but doesn't say anything so I walk back outside to wait. A while later I decide to go in and ask her and she said that she called me. I said I didn't get a call. She says you have a US number the call didn't go through. Okay so why didn't you pop your head outside and call out my name? She says no worries we will get you seated. Then they continued to seat everyone but us. And then she asked would you like to sit outside or inside? Doesn't matter, we want to sit wherever it's ready first. But I look outside and every table is taken and no one is even close to being done eating. We finally got sat and we immediately order 3 items before she walks away. Another table who comes in after we got sat, is seated nearby us. We have already ordered, they just sat down. A while later, they get all their food. We were wondering if we were being treated like this on purpose. I ask a different server how long it'll be until we get our food and Sophia comes and says she *forgot our order* Excuse me how does that happen??? She apologizes and said we will get a discount and something will be free. After another long wait we get our food slowly as it comes out- a lamb noodle soup with chopped up noodles (my husband ordered that thinking it would be the lamb bao so that was not on the restaurant), lamb cumin noodles, and 2 cucumber dishes. We tried our best but only ate about half the food- it was not good. For some background my husband and I are both Chinese and we love eating food from different regions of China and have a pretty good idea of what is good and not good. The lamb cumin noodles tasted like they were watered down? Texture was ok, very thin and didn't have a good chew or bite to it and flavor was off. We've had a good amount of lamb cumin noodles and this was probably the worst. The lamb soup noodles were not that great either.. I only had a bite. Cucumber was fine- the chopped cucumber was in awkward shapes to be picked up with chopsticks, and the spiral cucumber was very boring tasting, both just had vinegar in them. We've easily made better at home in just a few minutes. We were hoping that after all the poor service at least the food would be great. Unfortunately the food was very one dimensional tasting and very disappointing. Funnily enough music stops playing as soon as we get our food. I'm sure it's to rush the customers out of the restaurant. We left a lot of uneaten food at the table (very rare for us) and we go to pay. At this point we've been there for over two hours and over 1.5 hours was just waiting for our food. Sophia rings us up and I ask about the discount/free item that she mentioned. There was a measly $4 discount (haha is this a joke) and one of the cucumber dishes was free. We did not ask for it. She did not take anything off our tab. I decide to give her some honest feedback- that she was rude and dismissive to us from the beginning, and that if no one picked up the call maybe she should check outside (her excuse is that sometimes people aren't waiting outside so she doesn't go outside to call names). Keep in mind I have never in my life given such harsh criticism to anyone in the service industry and I have never even gotten close to even thinking about scolding someone. She says well the phone call didn't work let me show you and at this point I say we've been here for so long we just want to go home so I told her to please be better and we walked out, excited to finally be freed of this place and hoping to never come back. She then chases after us and tells us that the payment didn't go through. We go back inside and she wants us to pay again but I tell my husband to check his bank account first. At that point, she confirmed that it had in fact gone through already. Like this whole situation has to be some hilariously sick joke how it somehow got worse and worse and even worse. I do not feel good about scolding someone (why do I have to tell a grown person to be better?) but I do think that she needed to hear an honest critique of her service so she can improve and I really hope she takes it to heart. Management- please review this and please make sure none of your future customers ever have an experience like this.

WAKE UP from WOKE DTF BETTER than DIN TAi FUNG ( DTF) -…read morethe Evil Empire of WHITE NEGROES ... up the Street from this Robson street location .... It's dumplings and rest of the menu and decor is not as pretentious and grandiose than DTF on Melville ... only 7 minutes walk away .. will worth the walk from fakeness and wokeness ... Service is sincere, authentic Asian hospitality than the plastic mosaic mall of DTF with their woke White Negro pale face demeanour.. emulating weakling wimp woke 1919 League of Nations ambience wannabe ( it imploded so will DTF) We had the shrimp scallop Dumplings , which were more juicy and larger than DTF , tofu minced beef potage ( generous portion size) and Egg yolk cream buns ... (so yummy.) ....most satisfying is patronizing a local company than foreign owned DTF ... of the Evil empire.. have tried some of the Richmond locations and will do so next time in Hongcouver Richmond lah

Amazing dumpling spot and very affordable. We brought our family of 5 on a random BC trip night…read more Our kids love Xiao Long Bao (XLB). We ate what would normally be a $100-$125 US meal for under $80 US. It was awesome. We got so much food - it was ridiculous. We ate quite a bit and saved the rest for leftovers. The servers were super nice and sweet. Very family friendly. We found our new go-to spot in Vancouver, B.C. Also, if you give it a little time the parking isn't too bad. Dinasty also stays open a little later than most restaurants in town, making this a viable option when in a pinch for food but running late in the day. Will absolutely go back next time in town. Thanks for having us. Comparable to Dough Zone or Din Tai Fung, somewhere right in between with quality and cost. Everything was yummy.
