    Combo B. Surprisingly very flavourful
    Marty M.

    Combo B for 1 was very good. Even the chow mein was great. Although they only gave a few pieces of beef... would still order again though. Shanghai noodles weren't very good. Tasted sorta sour?

    From top: Salt and Peppery Spareribs, Beef in Black Bean Sauce on Fried Rice Noodles, Wonton Soup, Singapore-style Noodles

    In one of our Take-Out Tuesdays, we felt like Chinese and I remembered someone recommended North Garden so we decided to give it a go. I ordered from one of the food delivery service and we decided to pick-up to avoid the exorbitant delivery fee. I ordered the Wonton soup, Singapore-style fried vermicelli, Beef with Black Bean sauce on fried rice noodles and Spicy Salt and Peppery Spareribs. I can honestly say this is one of the best authentic Chinese food we've had in the Tri-cities. The portions were very generous and full of flavour. The Wonton broth was full of bone broth goodness. The rest of the dishes had a good spiciness to them which made me want to keep on digging in. They were very generous with the beef slices in one of the noodle dishes. And the spareribs is one of those things that you just want to scoop out the pieces of garlic and szechuan pepper and pile it on the ribs. Definitely will come back and order other goodies!

    I picked North Garden for my belated birthday lunch the other day. We (threesome) arrived about 11:00 am, and were able to find parking right in front of the entrance. The restaurant offers a selection of two- and four-seat tables -- the larger tables arranged along one inside wall, with the smaller tables arranged along the other inside, and outside walls, and down the center. We chose one of the 4-place tables. A quite plain and simple decor, and rather quiet ambiance, it looked and felt like our kind of small, local neighbourhood kind of place. After choosing the table, and getting seated, our server arrived with menus, and mugs of hot tea. Yeah, we were off to a good start. Here's what was ordered and shared: (names of dishes and listings as per menu) - Appetizer: Honey Garlic Spareribs -- Beef: Beef with Tomatoes -- Chow Mein: Sauteed Rock Cod with Vegetable Chow Mein -- Pan Fried Shanghai Thick Noodle -- Seafood: Spicy Salt & Peppery Squid. The food arrived from kitchen to table in very well-sized, good looking portions, with the dishes closely and appropriately sequenced. It definitely looked like I (we) had over-ordered a touch, but, heh, it was a birthday lunch, and a little overdoing is allowed at such times! The food really did look good, and when all dishes were on, and covering our table, it surely did look like we were set to enjoy a feast!! But how did the preparations and tastes fair? Ribs - meat tender, coating crispy - dish tasty -- Squid - flesh very tender & sweet, coating light, condiments spicy hot - dish about as good as it gets -- Chow Mein - rock cod soft & sweet, veggies & noodles fine - dish 'ok', decent portions of fish, but quite heavy on noodles, and light on veggies -- Beef w/Tomatoes - plentiful, tender & flavourful slices of beef & tomato, absolutely delicious sweet & savoury sauce - dish so flavourful & tasty, a major hit with the three of us -- Shanghai Noodle - noodles & other ingredients, on-the-mark - dish very flavourful & tasty. I (we) truly-enjoyed my birthday lunch and dining experience at North Garden. The restaurant is not far away, and with these good memories in mind, I doubt it will be very long before we are back for more tastes.

    Great place to grab a quick bite or for some chinese takeout. I been walking pass the sign of this restaurant recently and noticed it finally opened. They had a location on North Road and I believe they have recently relocated here. For now the restaurant didn't seem too busy at all with 1 or 2 customers coming in and out for takeout as well on a weeknight. I ordered a take out for a rice and a noodle dish recently and the restaurants cooked it up in a swift! The pricing is quite similar to most chinese restaurants ranging from $11-16 per a dish. The portion is quite generous! The 1 rice and 1 noodle dish I ordered can pretty much feed 4 people! A good option to go to if you don't feel like cooking!

    Really good Chinese food! I've been going here for the last 10 years and it's always been fresh and tasty. The workers always greet us with a smile and are happy to make changes to their meat dishes to make them vegetarian for us. Some of the dishes are a little on the expensive side and the decor has not been touched since 1990 (I'm sure it was pretty swanky in 1990) But the food has always kept us coming back and that's the most important thing.

    Honey garlic spareribs, broccoli beef, drief scallop fried rice, cod and tofu hot pot .

    If I could, I would rate North Garden as 2 1/2 stars. We stopped by for takeout at 11 AM on Sunday, right when they opened. There were already 5 or 6 tables in the place already. This part of Burquitlam is pretty limited as far as Cantonese restaurants go, so this would be one of the better ones to try. We ordered: Broccoli and beef: very average, and I wouldn't order it again. Dried scallop fried rice: this dish was ok, but way under seasoned. Honey garlic spareribs: not bad, but could use more honey. Cod and tofu hot pot: this was my favorite dish. The fish was nice and tender. The restaurant itself is pretty sparse, but it is surprisingly big inside. There is an upper and a lower parking lot, so getting a spot shouldn't be a problem. I heard that their Peking duck is pretty good, so I will have try it next time. They also had some really good prices for fresh lobster and crab dishes. If you can't drive to Richmond and want Cantonese food, then give North Garden a try (they also offer delivery during dinner).

    There are hundreds of Chinese restaurants like this in the city. Nothing differentiate this restaurant from others. I only go there because of their convenient location for me. The food tastes good, I'd rather don't ask what's in it :) It kinda seems they have the same sauce for everything just use the various spices. So when I order szechuan style chicken or chicken with black bean sauce, I've got almost the identical dishes :) Service is fine.. not the best, though. There are servers that speak English so-so and some barely. And I'm ESL so I SHOULD understand. Not always... Happened to me when I called and ordered a takeout, got completely different dish. A guy on the phone was completely lost :) They offer nice dinner specials.. 2 items, soup, rice and dessert for $29.50; 3 items.. 4 items.. etc. Portions are generous. Bottom line.. if you live in the area, give it a try. If not, don't bother to travel.

    Waiter spilled tea everywhere and just walked away :/

    I barely come to this area but I had an appointment nearby today. Searching the restaurants nearby…read moreand this place's rating is too high that I had to give it a try. It's small but has quite many seats, the lady is very friendly. She gave me a photo album to order from which is so fun and I have never seen anything like this before and every restaurant should 10000000% do the same. I ordered the 酸辣肥肠粉 pork intestine sour spicy noodle(added an egg) and potato shreds cold stir凉拌土豆丝 Ok I have to to say, the potato dish is THE BEST i have had in canada and it is a very very high compliment from me, since I order that whenever I can. It's soooo good and I ate the whole plate in a few mins. The pork intestine noodle is so so, I wish there are more pork intestine, I had 4-5 pieces and they r quite small, the egg tho, is sooooo good, it's worth it to add one to the noodle. They also add a ton of peanuts so if u have allergies u need to tell them, they wont ask u. She also gave me a small ice jelly dessert for free in the end, it tastes so good??!!! I am so full at this point otherwise I would ask if I can eat a full portion one lol Overall I will come back!

    I left surprised and wanting to go back for how good this place was. Not usually in the Coquitlam…read morearea and needed good food, this one popped up, and everyone was saying excellent things.... so off we went, not knowing there is actually free parking, but we did park on the street, and after 6 it is free. This place is tiny, as in it can seat about 20 people, and every table had people and had piping hot food on each. Both me and my friend needed to wait a few minutes till someone left, and when we got seated, they gave us their regular menu, and later on gave us a picture book.. and if you guessed it.... everything on their menu with a separate picture. My friend ordered his bowl of spicy pork chop glass noodles in soup, and I had a dry version of spicy noodles with pork. We also ordered their deep fried tofu, deep fried chicken, and a plate of spicy cucumber. Every dish was done just right, and what I mean by that is that every hot dish seemed to be made to order, and it was confirmed when we spoke to the lady there. The spicy cucumber dish came out, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients, the cucumber, although the chili oil used was spicy, due to the freshness of the cucumber, was sweet too. The deep fried tofu had a nice hard outer deep fried shell, and yet the inside was soft and really hot, the chicken took the longest, but this was worth waiting for, with the thin deep fried batter, I don't think I have ever had chicken this hot in temperature, and it was great. Both noodle dishes were huge, and I wondered how my friend ended up eating all of his, I had to take 1/3 of mine home as it was too much. We also ordered a plum drink and a hawthorne drink and at the end was served complimentary jelly as dessert. This was a great meal and if you are in the area, I would recommend you try this place out.

    I have been to Legend House several times in the past and it was decent, but it has gone down hill…read morerecently. I would say sometime after mid 2024 the quality has dropped significantly. The hot and sour soup was excessively sour, the fried rice cakes was too sweet and the Dan Dan noodles was excessively salty. The buns (Xiao Long Bao and san ji Bao) were okay but the wrapping was on the thick side. Furthermore, the ingredients don't taste fresh and dishes such as the Dan Dan noodles are missing key ingredients like cucumbers and carrots. Service is good, and there are robots as well. Price is cheap, but the taste is just not good.

    We decided to try Legend House again and order different items. It's still more expensive than our…read moreother Chinese restos but at least they're open later. For the good news: very generous portion of the thick and flavourful Sweet Corn & Chicken Soup; the wonderful surprise of biting into the dumplings and getting both the authentic taste of the pork filling and the burst of the well seasoned broth Shanghai "Xiao Long Bao" Soup Dumplings; the properly cooked with the right amount of garlic and spice Salt & Pepper Squid and; the ever reliable FR "Yang-Zhou" Style. Unfortunately, we didn't fare so well with the rest of our meal. I've always wanted to try the Dan-Dan Noodles and I even opted for the Blade-Sheared Noodles. The noodles were overdone and so soft and slimy. It also didn't help that the extremely oily peanut sauce tasted like melted store-bought peanut butter with a smattering of minced pork. It wasn't even spicy as described. We also ordered the ironically dry and plain Green Onion Beef with Black Pepper Sauce. Not sure if the sauce spilled or evaporated but the container was devoid of any liquid. If it wasn't for the wonderful baos, my revised rating would have been 2 stars. If we ever go back to Legend House, it's probably just for the dim sums otherwise I'll pass.

    This place has been here since I was a kid. Glad to see it's still here and I'm visiting again…read moreafter 20+ years. All I remember was that I liked their hot and sour soup. Not really an authentic Szechuan restaurant. 30 years ago, most chinese cuisines were cooked by hong kongers or south chinese people. So, most of these dishes are going to be a southern take on it. Hot and sour soup - price is awesome. $11 enough for at least 6 bowls. Souo base is missing a bit of flavor but it is jam packed with ingredients. Drunken chicken - it was ok. Little on the salty side. Shanghainese pan fried pork buns - these were probably the worst I've had. Not made in house and not properly pan fried. No juice, super dry, no fried bottom crust. Bean curd wrapped pork dim sum - surprisingly this came out last. At least 20 min has passed. This is a steamed dish but it came out with dried edges like it was sitting on a dry heater. Taste was ok. Mapo tofu - asked for extra spicy and extra numbing. Numbing was there but nowhere near real szechuan numbing. Was not spicy at all. Sauce was more oily than saucey. The price point reflects the quality. Things are either mediocre or a complete miss. Would come again to try only the better stuff. Staff was friendly. Came to try to refill the tea way more times than normal. The iron goddess tea tastes much better than a lot of dim sum places elsewhere.
