Not all dishes on the menu are available. The dishes were generous portions but were missing the subtle flavours of "true" Asian cooking. I suspect this is due to a lack of supply of many Chinese ingredients. The result is very bland tastes. With local vegetables instead of traditional Asian ones, some dishes are unrecognisable. The "Prawns" were just medium frozen shrimp. If you are sensitive to MSG I recommend you ask them to not use it for you. In summary, this is not "Chinese" cuisine. It is Chinese influenced food. Enjoy the large portions and friendly service. Save your expectations for exotic Chinese meals in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. You will not meet them here.

In Nelson, KC is an unusual restaurant that specializes in Chinese, Thai and Japanese cuisine…read more Originally a mostly Chinese restaurant, the owners brought in thai and japanese chefs to diversify the menu and offer something new to the clientele of this particularly health conscious and trend conscious town. Over the years, the chefs came and went, but the recipes were recreated, tweaked and in many ways improved to the point that the resto has proven to be more popular at these styles than even the dedicated thai and japanese restos in Nelson. With that in mind, my family and I came in to try out the alternate menus as opposed to the chinese food (which I understand to be primarily cantonese with some szechuan dishes). First came the sushi, a good mix of maki rolls that exemplified the nature of the Nelson clientele. The ever popular California rolls were quite decent, as well as the tuna rolls. But the Veggie Delight comprised of tempura carrots and avocado, drizzled with wasibi mayo was surprisingly quite tasty. The Omega-3 roll, comprised of Avocado, Asparagus, Salmon with Brown Rice sprinkled with flax seed was a revelation that it was possible to have a supremely healthy roll without sacrificing taste. Next came the Pad Thai noodles, Yellow curry with chicken, and vegetarian spring rolls. The spring rolls were decent, complete with a slightly oversweet sauce as opposed to a more traditional fish sauce. The yellow curry with chicken was good, with the curry flavour being a little subdued, but still filled with tender chunks of chicken breast. Unlike normal incarnations of yellow curry dishes, there are some chunks of potato which added a bit of texture to the dish, and it all mixed well with the steamed white rice. The Pad Thai noodles were quite good, though a bit different than the usual Pad Thai I would find in Calgary or Montreal. Using a thicker rice noodle, it could use a bit of fish sauce to give it a bit of an extra bite, and was a little too subtle in flavour. But to be fair, my family had asked it to NOT be very hot for some odd reason (considering that all of us were used to hot dishes). Also, it could use a little bit of chopped scrambled egg to add a little more texture. Still, I enjoyed the dish and it was nicely done. The decor is basic yet functionaly, with a traditional sushi bar in the front. Tables of various sizes are available that can accomodate groups of 2 to as many as 10 throughout the place, and it's definately a popular place judging from how busy it was when I left. On other review sites, the KC has received ratings in the 4 to 5 star range, or in the 90%+ in terms of customer popularity as it's well earned. Speaking with the owner about how important he thought it was to have quality standards maintained, such as in the sushi rice that he insists must be made fresh every day (no leftover rice at the end of the day), its no wonder why the KC is so well regarded indeed.

The Pad Thai dishes looked appealing but turned out to be too salty. The Ginger beef dish had the meat overcooked and the veggies almost raw.

This past Canada Day weekend, my visiting family and I went off in search of nostalgia and old…read morefriends to BC. In this search, it entailed a stop to Castlegar, home of the impressively multi-award winning Chopsticks japanese and chinese restaurant. In fact, you can't possibly miss that fact, as award upon award certificates for the last 5 years are proudly displayed at the front entry. With that in mind, it was time to try the food. Now, the resto itself in terms of appearance and decor is probably a little schizophrenic. Think modern Canadian meets chinese meets sushi bar, and you might probably come close to the actual look. A huge wooden dancing fish awaited the entering clientele (I scared a small kid by telling him that the fish was alive and was so big because he ate kids) while the attractive young waitresses in traditional chinese chungsams (I have no idea what's the actual english word for those dresses are) would then meet, greet and promptly seat. Four in all at that moment, they were attentive, pleasant, and quick on the ball, a good sign for any resto as good service is always a plus. Now, I can't vouch for the Japanese sushi personally as I didn't get a chance to try them out, but I can say that the chinese part was bang on and authentic as you can find in any major city chinatown, which for a town like Castlegar in the middle of the Kootenay Rockies region was fairly impressive. The first dish wasn't really my own cup of tea, a soup with chinese herbs, pork bones and tongue, was unusually unexpected to find in Castlegar. Heck, it'll be unusual to find anywhere outside of HK, Vancouver or Toronto. It was ok to me, but my gal noted that it had quite a delicate flavour, and the use of tongue as opposed to say stewed pork cubes or sirloin. In fact, she especially notes that it was very tender and flavourful. The next dish, a simple cold chopped slow poached chicken, served with an onion, ginger and oil sauce is considered to be a classic of Chinese cuisine. It's deceptively simple, as it's actually not that easy to get the chicken quite right. Poached too long, and the meat becomes an unusual mix of rubber pieces. Poached too short, and it becomes a simple raw chunk of meat. So the fact that it was done quite right and tender is definately a sign of an accomplished cook. The ginger onion sauce was also nicely seasoned right, just the right level of salt to match the chicken. A plate of stir-fried Veggies with Shrimp and Scallops then followed. Again, nice, simple yet delicious with rice. What then followed was a bit of a surprise, a large omelet plate. Both were well done, and were a simple addition to complete the meal to satisfaction. So in the end, a good authentic chinese dinner with great service outside of a major city. Go figure. But from what I had the opportunity to enjoy, the awards are well earned.
