We got eggplant with egg tofu and beef stir fry with flat noodles. Both dishes were spectacular.
The eggplant was cooked perfectly – the crispy edges were an excellent contrast to the eggplant’s soft meat. The sauce that the dish came with was also excellent.
The beef stir fry with flat noodles was equally good. Well seasoned. Not too oily nor salty.
Service was next level. We ordered and both dishes were ready within a few minutes. The eggplant dish was so hot that we had to wait for it cool down a bit.
Overall this is one of the best restaurants we’ve been to on vancouver island and a true hidden gem of Nanaimo. Genuinely surprised that the reviews for this restaurant don’t reflect the quality of food that we got – maybe menu is too large for most?
Definitely coming back – can’t recommend it enough!

Customer Service: 5/5
The staff were really helpful, and quick to answer.
Wait time: 5/5
We waited very little, maybe 15 minutes for our first dish to arrive.
Food: 4.5/5
There was so much flavour in both the Peking Duck and also the eggplant. Soooo tasty! My only complaint is that you can only buy a 2 course Peking Duck, you can’t order 1 course.
Overall: 4.8/5
Fantastic restaurant. Would definitely recommend, especially for larger groups.

I am Chinese and this is the only Chinese place in Nanaimo I have tried that serves food that feels authentic and well cooked. My partner and I ordered several dishes, all of which were excellent. I’m looking forward to trying the more traditional dishes pictured on the wall that are off the menu.
Eggplant tofu: the eggplant was amazingly crispy, buttery and light, the egg tofu was soft and creamy. Served piping hot.
Shanxi cold noodles: delicious, well balanced dressing and tender noodles.
Shrimp har gau: their dim sum menu is very small, but these were steamed well and what I would expect from anywhere.
I can’t speak to the Canadian-chinese dishes like chow mein, Kung Pao chicken, ginger beef, chicken fried rice etc but these are items I would never recommend in general at any restaurant as they are a watered down version of Chinese food made for limited western palates.
The atmosphere is a second though to the food, and there is a constant stream of people walking through the restaurant picking up orders, but the service is fast and friendly.

The pan fried dumplings were awesome and surprisingly juicy! However, the chowmein noodles lacked a bit of flavour. The service was great and everyone was very friendly. The food came out quickly and super hot. You can tell this place is run by a family/group of people who are passionate! The atmosphere was a bit dull and the lighting is almost glaringly bright. There are plastic table cloths, and napkins come from a tissue box on the table. All that being said, there is a certain charm to it all and I kind of liked it. The lights were a bit too bright though – switching from white bulbs to yellow bulbs would really improve the over all vibe. Prices were extremely fair!

This place was amazing! It had all of the classic dishes we were after and they were all cooked to perfection. Staff were incredibly nice and attentive.

Flawed, but still very good!
The Good: House special eggplant and beef w/ broccoli were delicious! Closest thing to a Lower Mainland chinese meal we’ve had thus far. The menu had all our favorites.
The Not-So-Good: DanDan noodles were bland, the Vinegar Honey Pork we ordered was super tasty, but slightly overcooked, and we had to wait an extra 10 mins on top of the expected take-out ETA (which i suppose wasn’t too bad).
However, I still give it a 4-star rating given that the food was overall quite delicious and (as mentioned earlier) easily the closest thing Nanaimo has to the Lower Mainland’s chinese restaurants.

Would definitely recommend this place
Often overlooked in Value village but is a good lunchin spot in my opinion.
The Braised pork with Garlic sauce was great ! Loved it with plain rice !
Dan dan noodles was new for me !! Mapu Tofu was so soft ! Would love to explore more option on the menu but it’s a 5 for me on the first visit !

Ordered dinner for two. Some of the worst chicken chow mein I’ve ever had. Completely bland, flavourless and dry. They used shredded chicken that tasted like it was from a rotisserie chicken and tossed it on top.
The sweet and sour pork was just simply okay, not good, or bad just meh. The beef chop seuy was absolutely basic nothing special.
The spring were bland with a thick doughy wrapper.
No clue why this place has so much hype and following it’s nothing special the owners should up their game.

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Went there a second time to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and it wasn’t.
Was very put off by the ugly AI photos on the website, just include real photos of your dishes. But very happy I didn’t let that change my decision in the end.
Despite that, still 5 stars because of the beautiful complex flavours of the egg plant and honey garlic pork.

Very good service, authentic Chinese food, REAL authentic, if you’re looking for mainland Chinese cuisine, this will be the one and only one in Nanaimo. For appetizers I would recommend chicken with scallion oil. It is moist and very tender chicken. Slice pork with orange sauce and the pork hock was AWESOME! Best dessert in the restaurant in my opinion would be the sesame balls.
