    Grub: Chicken with Ginger sauce I personally like this type of chicken. It's smooth and simpler to eat. Hainanese Chicken This chicken is good, but I prefer the chicken type that goes with ginger sauce. I guess it would be the way it is cooked. Soya Fried Fish, I think Halibut If anyone out there has tried the dish, if it is not Halibut, please correct me on this, greatly appreciate it. Eggs and Shrimp Always a delight to have this dish. Yummy! REPEAT! Tong Choy (Morning Glory), English name goes by different names This type of green vegetable is normally used in hot pot dishes. I personally would NOT REPEAT this dish, but that's my personal opinion. It's good, but I am used to having this for Hot Pot winter evenings. Spare Ribs with Honey Garlic Always a favourite in my book of eats. Yummy! REPEAT dish!

    House Special Poached Chicken

    I am not sure why most of the Chinese Restaurants that are rated 3 stars are actually pretty good and worth at least a 4 star rating! My guess is that the main factor is their service, but in this case Wang Ji did not fail from that from the get go. Throughout the dinner we were served attentively and with courtesy. They also came on several occasions to offer fresh bone plates! This is my first time here, having been a residence in this neighbourhood for over 15 yrs. I totally ignored this place until recently. My God Sister treated us to a family gathering and had a Chinese family feast! Highlight items: Poached Chicken with Ginger, Garlic & Scallion Soy Sauce I have to say this dish alone will get a 4 star with no hesitation, the meat of the chicken is super moist and tender, full of flavour, and the skin is poached to perfection, ( in Cantonese Cuisine Chicken Skin is highly valued, but with today's health standards, we usually discard it ). The accompanying sauce is not the usual kind you would get in 99.9% of the restaurants when serving this dish, but they have made a signature sauce which actually I like a lot! If you are here with a smaller group just order 1/2 chicken and you will have plenty! Stir Fried Clams in Szechuan Pepper & Pepper Corn Amazing mixes of spice and savoury, the sauce is a killer!! I would highly recommend this go with an ice cold beer, it is perfectly stir fried and the clams are cooked well, I would love to see the clams to be more plump, but this is already 95% up there! Stir-fried Morning Glory with Bean Paste Sauce Perfectly seasoned, this popular vegetable is most suited when pared with stronger seasoning and still carries well, the Chef did a great job in not over cooking the delicate vegetable, which also shows the wok skills!! With all these solid dishes done well, no wonder this place is always packed and require reservations! (Lucky we live pretty close by!)!

    Great variety of Chinese Wang ji is a pleasantly weird place that has Taiwanese fried chicken, Shanghai Xiao long bao, hk style dimsum and king crab all under one roof. This place is easy to find and parking was abundant. The restaurant is cozy and the interior design was ... neat and rather welcoming. This was the first time we tried this restaurant and was definitely surprised by the extensive menu they have. Some of these items seemed rather out of place on the same menu, but we appreciate the variety. We were gonna order the beef noodles, but unfortunately, that's only in the lunch menu. (Till 3pm) That is actually kinda annoying since couple of the things we wanted were only on the lunch menu. We ended up ordering a seafood fried noodles, spicy fried clams and Taiwanese fried chicken. Yes.. all fried things that are difficult to make at home. They were all rather delicious, particularly the fried chicken. It's the chunky, boneless type which was juicy, flavorful with a good texture on the exterior. The flavor of clam was a bit overwhelming but I enjoyed it. And it's also a good thing that it's located next to a chatime. If some of dishes we too intense for your taste, you can always just grab something refreshing next door. Food 8/10 Service 8.5/10 Ambiance 8/10 Value 9/10

    The restaurant is located in the busy Garden City plaza in Richmond. Parking can be hard to find depending on the time of the day. The interior is well lit and clean. There is a "taste of home" wall sticker and some framed pictures. There is also ample seating but the restaurant was full by the time we finished our lunch. I highly recommend that you come and try the lunch combos. For about $12-14 after tips and tax, you'd get a main dish, rice (depending on the dish) and a honey green tea drink. What a good deal! The portion was decent as well and food was yummy. I really liked the cumin lamb. If you come for dinner (which I haven't yet), I would suggest coming with more people. As per the menu, dinner options are mostly entrees where you'd order rice on the side. Therefore, the more people you have in your party, the more dishes you can order!

    Small restaurant in the plaza on Blundell and Garden City. Went there at around 5:30 on a Saturday and got a small table without waiting, but the place was packed shortly afterwards. This place serves the regional Cantonese cuisine from Zhanjiang. The signatures dishes are their chicken. They have a big steamed chicken dish that you have to reserve and preorder, which we did not get. Instead, we ordered half of traditional free-range chicken, and that was delicious. Very flavorful and soft chicken. The coconut chicken soup was excellent too. We also ordered the fish roe and shrimp fried rice. The fish roe gave the fried rice a bright color, but didn't add much to the taste. Also got an order of the stir-fried halibut pieces, and that was good, and the ong choy was decent. For dessert, we got the gooey custard steamed buns. The buns tasted alright, but I've had better ones at other restaurants. Overall a pretty decent meal. The bill was $100, which is not cheap. The three of us finished all of the dishes. We might return to tried the signature steamed chicken.

    First time to eat at this Taiwanese restaurant located on Blundell road in Richmond. Location: great! Big parking lot with many parking spots outside the restaurant. It is in the same complex of IGA and shoppers drug mart. Food: great! The BBQ pork fried rice came first. It tasted very well that the chef cooked the rice well. The dish of braised butterfish tasted good and it was big. I loved the chicken fried rice cake. The two different pots of soup tasted great as well. Basically each dish of food was great. There was no MSG. I didn't feel thirsty after eating so much food!! Ambiance: great! The environment was quite comfortable giving us a "homey" feel. The interior design of the restaurant was not very fancy, but it was fair good enough for a family type of restaurant. Service: each server was friendly. I liked the one who told me which dishes were popular in the restaurant. Basically she went through the menu from the beginning to the end with me. I really appreciate her time and service. All of the servers treated us well that they always checked on our table and made sure we had been taken care of. Pricing: not expensive at all. I ate dinner with family and relatives with 8 adults and 2 kids. The bill was only$120 plus tip. Comparing to White Spot, Boston Pizza, and even some HK cafes, this restaurant was way cheaper.

    Soy sauce chicken
    Deborah S.

    Really enjoyed the soy sauce chicken, deep fried tofu with peppery salt and the salted egg yolk fried prawns. A little pricy but the quality was great.

    Deep fried chicken $7.50

    Saw this restaurant the other day when I went to try out Ginger Indian Cuisine. It looked really busy so I figured it must be good to try out! I came back a few days later and I was disappointed. It started off well as we got seated quickly but for some odd reason they didn't give us menus. The table next to us was having their order taken by the waitress so we figured she saw us menu-less and would give us the menu after they were done. But nope! She took the menus and threw it on the empty table behind her. Luckily a few minutes later another waitress came by to ask if we got menus yet. Ordered our food: got two bowls of rice ($1.75 each), honey spareribs ($12.95), and deep fried chicken ($7.50). I thought the menu prices were were on the pricier side in general. It took awhile for the food to come but during the meantime I was observing everything else happening in the restaurant. The food for the table next to us came and the customer discovered a piece of metal (likely from what they use to clean pots/pans) in the food! She called a waitress to look so they took the dish away and came back later with the dish remade. The waitresses seemed to be scrambling around a lot and one time I asked for more tea and they just forgot about it. Finally my food came. The chicken was a bit salty but tasted good, the honey spareribs on the sweeter side but tasted good in its own way. The elderly lady next to me and her husband finished eating and she needed an extra napkin so she asked for it. The waitress took forever to bring the napkin and when she did she just kinda threw it on the table. Overall, service wasn't so great and I think the food semi-saved this review from a lower rating!

    Salty duck egg yolk coated deep fried shrimp. This was an amazing dish!
    Jennie Y.

    Had a really delicious dinner here last night! Portions were good, flavours on point and prices were reasonable. We opted to go with more Cantonese style dishes but their extensive menu includes typical dishes from Taiwan to Shanghai. Yellow chicken - Probably the best I ever had. Meaty, juicy and came with a side of dipping soy sauce. I requested for a small side of ginger and onion sauce that usually comes with the chicken for no additional charge. Eggplant - Tons of sauce and plump egg and cooked to perfection. The dish also included some tree mushrooms and carrots which was nice! Egg yolk shrimp - Omg the sweet and savory salty duck egg yolk coating on the shrimp was divine. Black pepper steak sizzling plate - Juicy and tender pieces of steak served with red and green peppers. Service was good and our teas were consistently refilled. Food came out quickly and hot. Everyone loved the food and we will definitely be back to try out the other items on their extensive menu.

    Basil shredded pork fried noodles
    Kasumi Y.

    October, 10, 2019 Went there for dinner. 2 of us tried their .. Pineapple shrimp fried rice... a lot of pineapple inside, shrimp was tender and tasty Sweet and sour pork... so crispy and tasty, but small portion for $17 Basil leaves shredded pork fried noodles.. they put a lot of meat and vegetables inside.. Services and food quality are better before, because of their boss and his family were eating beside us.

    tried this place for the first time and wasnt disappointed. its a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall in richmond, next to an awesome indian place. ordered the house special wang ji chicken. sliced beef brisket, coca cola spareribs, chicken nuggets, fried noodles, and stir fried lamb with cumin! wang ji chicken was delicious. very fragrant and flavourful. each bite was succulent. the soy /ginger dipping sauce complimented the dish so well. paired with rice and hot tea : winner! sliced beef brisket was likewise amazing. order was huge. each slice was tender with very good marbling! seasoned well and just enough sauce to bring out the flavour even more. chicken nuggets were like taiwanese nuggets! crispy on the outside, juicy and succulent on the inside. truly a chicken winning chicken dinner! fried noodles were standard fare. came out like shanghai noodles...bit greasy but flavourful. lamb cumin was so good! perfect seasoning of cumin and other spices...lamb cut used was hotpot style. so it was tender and was able to absorb the spices...awesome dish! my least fav was the coca cola ribs. it was tender and sliced into bite size pieces...but the sauce was too sweet and overpowering. after a few bites, diabetic coma follows...lol! service was quick and efficient. tea and water cups were refilled quick despite the shortage of staff. for dessert we trued the fried bun with condensed milk dip. standard fare but good! happy eating!

    Beef (thick) Noodle Soup
    Hubert Y.

    As promised, I came back for a third visit to try the Beef Noodle Soup. And, it did not disappoint. The beef were really tender. Noodles (thick), nice and chewy. And the broth was rich, flavourful and not salty. The vegetables could be more cooked. Overall, the beef noodle soup and service during this visit was better than expected.

    Wang Ji Restaurant 9100 Blundell, Richmond.  $12.60 What ? Are you serious. Mao Pao Tofu, rip off ! Container is 5 " across. Only half full
    Lyle B.

    If I could give this restaurant 0 (zero) stars I would ! I paid $12.60 for take out "Mao Pao Tofu". The 2 pictures show what I got. The container is more for left overs or a small soup. It is 5 " across and slightly more than half full. And 40% of that is liquid. This is cuisine robbery ! I use the word cuisine loosley. Liquid Gold maybe. This is the way it was received. I have not touched the contents. I immediately complained, saying " If you can not give me more than this, I will not be returning." . They replied " No we can not, this is the portion we give. If you want you can order something different". I replied " Really ? O.K. bye bye. See you on Yelp. Yikes ! What a RIP OFF ! ! Do not dine here, unless you have lots of money to burn !

I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too!

I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

    I read about Yue Restaurant being one of the most reliable and enjoyable dim sum spots in Richmond…read more(old school traditional style) but unfortunately, they do not serve Dim Sum in the evening. Nevertheless, we were glad we tried their dinner. When you tried to do research on the restaurant and could not find any menu or proper working link, you will realize this place emphasizes on words of mouth rather than Online Marketing. I did not find a single non-Chinese customers when we were there and this place was packed! The dining room is bright, clean, and spacious, and even when the restaurant is busy, the atmosphere feels lively rather than chaotic. The staff works hard to keep things moving, and service is friendly and efficient. The food is the real highlight. Everything arrives beautifully prepared, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Their Wagyu beef cubes is a MUST-HAVE. Its the best Wagyu beef I have tasted! We also ordered their Peking Duck. It's not the best I have tried but definitely above average. This order comes in 2 dishes. You wrap the duck skin with thin crepe, and the 2nd dish is basically the diced duck meat wrapped in lettuce. We balanced the protein with Tofu/Broccoli/Mushroom dish. We also ordered Yangzhou fried rice. These dishes alone kept 5 hungry adults satisfied. We struggled to finish every scrap! Yue Restaurant is an excellent choice for groups, families, and anyone craving high‑quality Cantonese cuisine. With great variety, solid execution, and a comfortable dining space, it's easy to see why this place is so popular.

    i had the pleasure of returning to yin ji chang fen and absolutely loved it again. all of the rice…read morerolls are so delicious still and the sauce is phenomenal. i also tried the vegetables and noodles this time - probably wouldn't get the noodles again, but still good. at peak hours you may have to wait outside before getting seated. it's not the biggest parking lot, but enough for customers. service is generally fine and what you'd expect from a chinese restaurant. overall i love yin ji chang fen and will be back!

    Solid chang fen and congee. We came for breakfast around 8:15 on a Sunday, and the dining room was…read morealready full (they open at 8). The food comes out quickly, though, so the wait is short. If you're a smaller party you're at an advantage - tables seat 2 or 4; larger parties that require combined tables will wait longer to be seated. We shared the shrimp and chive chang fen, pork and century egg congee, and the wonton soup. Chang fen had that slippery silkiness; it was packed with lightly cooked shrimp. Congee was good - the pork was nice and soft, the pi dan creamy. Won ton was fine - not as flavorful as the other dishes, but it hit the spot. Service is fast and friendly; they accept cash, debit, WeChat or Alipay. Parking is free and plentiful in the morning (if you come later in the day, it'll likely be full due to the sharing of the plaza by several other restaurants).

    Western Lake Chinese Seafood Restaurant is located at 4989 Victoria Drive, Vancouver, BC…read more Food (5/5): Such a rare treat! The chicken was exceptionally fresh and tender, practically melting in your mouth while still piping hot. The shrimp was equally delicious and full of flavor. Service (5/5): Outstanding. The staff were incredibly attentive, respectful, and helpful from start to finish. Ambiance (5/5): Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It makes enjoying an incredible meal even better! :)

    Western Lake is the kind of dim sum spot I always hope to find -- traditional, lively, and straight…read moreto the point. There are fish tanks with live fish and lobsters floating around, and ordering is done the old-school way on a paper slip where you mark the quantity you want. I love that everything comes out fresh and is handed to you table-side. What really stood out here was the portion size. The shui mai, har gow, and char siu bao were all much larger than I expected, so my friends and I played it safe and still ended up with way too much food. Not a bad problem to have, but definitely come hungry. The service was also better than what I've experienced at a lot of dim sum places, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. Solid traditional dim sum with generous portions and a nice hustle.
