My family of 17, just enjoyed a special birthday party here, and we were very impressed, with the wonderful service, friendly staff, delicious large plates of food, and the separate room that we booked, for larger groups. We all had a wonderful time! The staff went out of their way, to make it a special occasion.
Had to park 2 blocks away. Walked in with husband and host desk is 50 feet from door. You are practically falling into diners tables that are aligned with the rectangular length of the room and when you and the other people stand there the waiters can hardly get by. No privacy. Finally taken to table for four, and this is a room with 3 round tables to fit 6-8 people to each. Brought us tea pot that wasn't washed properly with tea stains on it. Menu looked good, prices seemed ok. Got food quickly it as ok and never saw the waiter after that. Not impressed, or friendly asking how was meal did we want anything else.
It's our first visit here. Service is very good. Their servers are polite and responsive. The ginger beef dish is quite good. However, the other dishes such as chicken with rice noodle, chicken in hotpot, mixed veggie with deep fried tofu that we ordered are below average. For average price of $8 - $10 per dish, this is what you get. It is a place for quantity but not quality.
This restaurant is excellent!
1.) it is so clean and nicely decorated. Nice wood floors and purple orchids surrounded the room.
2.) service was amazing! didn't even have to wait to order, food came out so quickly, refilled our tea cups often, brought more napkins without even having to ask.
3.) food tasted sooo good!! definetly reccomened the lettuce wraps!! the tea tasted a little funny..ohwell! there was plenty of food and 3 dishes for two people was mooore than enough.
4.) i don't really have anything negative to say about this place :)
This is a nice, friendly place on Canada Way near Boundary. We had some fried rice, fried noodles and steamed buns today. They were all well-prepared with fresh ingredients. Service was very friendly. Even though they mixed up our order a little bit at first, they were quick to admit their mistake and rectify it right away. We will probably come back to this place more often. Recommended.
Was not expecting this to be hella good. And I was right. The dim sum selection we ordered were so and so. Some tasted decent and some tasted either undercooked or overcooked.
Service was okay.
The prices I guess were fair. One of the other reviewers were right, this would cater to the lower end spectrum of consumers.
The only thing I can say that I liked about this place is the take away containers. But this is also a bit sad as the containers were more worth mentioning than the food contained in them.
This place seems to cater to a quick typcial Chinese food restaurant.
Not the high end but the low-average end clientelle.
We sat down to standard tea with no choices given.
The food came and were decent but nothing standing out.
Some of the items (honey garlic pork) could use more flavor. I could taste the fried pork but not the honey.
And we were given plates for our rice. PLATES? Usually at chinese restaurants we were given bowls. I guess it's cause it's catering to the western style customers.
We asked to wrap up 2 dishes that we could not finish. And to our surprise they packed both dishes in ONE CONTAINER? One dish was sweet and the other dish was spicy. Uh...I guess they wanted to save an extra container.
Must admit the container are the better ones compared to the typical styrofoam ones.
The outing was decent. And it comes down to price. If you are wanting to save a few bucks for ok Chinese food then this is it. If you looking at eating at a nicer chinese restaurant, then this is a pass.
The first thing about this place is the great food. Everything is pretty solid to outstanding in flavors. I recommend the ginger beef, the house special chicken and the rice is pretty good. The thing that impressed me was the high quality containers you get to go. They're microwavable and dishwasher safe.. ive actually replaced my other food containers with the containers I get from this place. The value is huge! I paid around 40-45$ after tip and was living off the food for 3 days! with a friend! The servings are very generous. Ambiance was decent nothing to write home about. This place is definitely worth a try if your in the area... and in need of good food containers ;)
We ordered over $200 worth of take out for a big get together the other night. All the dishes were of fair size and extremely well prepared using above average meat (no fat balls here!) The price is the same as other t/o places but the quality shines through. Of note was there ginger beef, curry beef, assorted seafood chow mien and the house fried rice. They double checked the order and were prompt and courteous even though they were smokin busy. Oh btw,,,if you want to eat it (like I plan to next time!) the room is brad new and beautiful. There is also a nice view of the north shore mountain given that this place sits on top of boundary hill. The only negative is that the portions are a bit smaller than usual, at least for takeout. All in all I would highly recommend.
New location with bright colours. Almost looks like a restaurant makeover episode. Had the large wor won ton for lunch $15.00. Soup was luke warm. Lots of won tons but very few veggies. No taste to the won tons just plain balls of pork. Disappointed in the overall dish. The menu seems to cater more to non orientals. Restroom is clean and bright.
My other review seems to have fallen off, so I'll re-review this place.
It's hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant, ever. They do everything right, from asking if you'd like cutlery and plates with your take-away order if needed, to actually cooking with less oil if requested.
The service is amazing, they are confident, genuinely friendly, gracious and cheerful and very accommodating. You can customize the combo dinners with dishes of your choice. You can tell they really like being in the restaurant business, and enjoy their craft. It’s more of a relaxed happy ambiance.
Their waiting area for pick-ups has magazines (in English to boot!).
The food here is delicious, high quality, comfort food, and everything’s fresh. My favorite dish is the spicy chicken with spinach; I think it's a Mandarin dish. I've liked everything I've tried. I used to work in this area and would visit here frequently, now it’s more of a drive, but I can't wait to return!
You'd never suspect it from the outside, it looks like any other Chinese restaurant but I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. It's the little details that make a dining experience great. There are far too many over hyped packaged "designed" trendy soulless eye candy restaurants in this city that promise the sky and never ever deliver. They should take notes from this place.
I ordered some takeout from BP through yummyweb and was surprised at what I picked up. I ordered a BBQ pork fried rice and a black bean chicken noodle dish - my total came up to less than $15 including tax. When I was passed my take out order, I couldn't believe how heavy these 2 items were. I got home and unveiled 2 tightly packed containers of food. I had some for dinner, and packed enough away for 2 more full meals! $5/meal is definitely a good deal!
The food wasn't exactly gourmet, but they don't advertise themselves to be the best. It is what it is, chinese food Canadianized (lemon chicken, S&S pork, chow mein, egg foo yong) and they do a pretty good job of it. I really enjoyed my food - the fried rice was done well, not greasy at all.
The restaurant was very clean and the service was very good. 10% off for pick-up orders!
We've ordered a limited from the Burnaby Palace over the last 16 years. Up until 2005, I would rate the food as excellent. But in the last 3-4 years it has gone downhill and for 2010, I rate the food as poor. We ordered Hot and Sour soup, a sauteed beef dish, vegetable fried rice and sauteed seasonal vegetables. All the vegetables were overcooked - limp and pasty. The rice was overcooked and the baby corn brown-ish. "Seasonal" vegetable dish has canned baby corn, limp snow peas, gray-ish broccol with much too much garlic. I don't dislike garlic but it overpowered this dish (probably because it had been all overcooked). The hot and sour soup was good - hard to believe it was from the same restaurant. And the beef dish was very nice. Tender beef with a very nice flavour. Deliver was very quick - they always say 45 minutes but they have almost always delivered within 20 minutes (the restaurant is 10 minutes away).
This place is a favourite of my family. I grew up only a few blocks aways, so we have known these people for about 20 years. Food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. The service is always outstanding. They are always willing to subsitute items on combos and create special dishes by request, The bathrooms are always clean. Can't ask for more! We had our wedding rehearsal dinner there and it was perfect - 25 people stuffed themselves with plenty of leftovers for $350 tax/tip in! Try the house special chicken, steamed juicy buns, chicken corn soup, orange beef, and house special fried rice.
Very good canadian-style chinese food. What is great is that you can order on-line through yummyweb. I haven't sat in the restaurant, I have only ordered take-out (you also get a 5% discount), and every time the service has been great. They have always provided disposable plates/cutlery when asked and they even gave us some extra spring rolls for free!
Tons of food, good prices.
The restaurant is located on Boundary Road near Grandview on the Burnaby side. There is plenty of street parking close to the restaurant. The reataurant is very clean. Tiles for the floor and they have one smaller dining room for private parties up to 40 to 50 people.
I dined in here a few times and the food and service was rock solid. I also ordered take out food and they delivered as promised. I would highly recommend this place. There is also a discount for pickup orders as well.
Cheers!
This place has to be at least a year old - and for the past year, i've said to myself that i should go try it. It's a strange location (off busy boundary), and for that reason, i never went in.
Well, it's definitely worth a visit. I went with a colleague during lunch. The restaurant was half packed. It looks nice and clean. Not sparkly, good enough for a business meeting.
They didn't have a lunch time menu, but there's lots of choice and the dishes are reasonably priced. We ordered a curry chicken noodle and a house special chicken on boiled rice. The chicken on the curry was moist and the chicken on the special was slightly coated in batter then fried. The house special sauce tasted more like a General Tsu sauce, slightly spicy (expected) but with a twang.
The service was ok. Our server may have been having an 'off' day, but generally he was good. The toilets were clean and besides the street parking they have a couple of spaces at the back. Our meal including tips came to $20. Not bad. The next test...dinner
-Eating in-
This place is different than most other Chinese restaurants. I would put this into a more upscale chines restaurant because of their service and cleanliness, the food tastes good although it could be improved.
-Taking out-
Burnaby palace isn't cheap out when it comes to packaging their foods.
I hate to go foods where they pack them in polystyrene foam because when you get home it looks bad. This place is different, they use good food grade plastic containers to pack their food, it makes the food still look fresh when you want to reheat it again.
They have just opened their new 3110 Boundary location for only 2 weeks but are already busy as ever. The 3 of us got there on a Friday passed 8pm. and had to wait 15 minutes. During the wait, two waiters assured us that we would get a table soon and a waitress brought us menus. This new location has a modern look. Other than the traditional Chinese Paintings, you would not know that it's a Chinese restaurant. We ordered Steamed Pork Juicy Buns($6.50), Fried Garlic Lamb Slices($13.50), Half Braised Duck w/Mixed Vegetables($13.50), and Curried Sliced Chicken Chow($8)Mein. The fried lamb was served with a very tasty spicy sauce. The duck dish already came with half a duck and for only $13.50 it still came with a very generous portion of veggies. The only complaint is that the chow mein portion was smaller than average. Nothing to complain about service, the waiters were very attentive. A lot of similar restaurants don't have good ventilations in the kitchen and customers leave smelling like their food. No such a problem here. Will definitely come back.
This is a great place. The ambiance is lovely, with the new move and remodel its nice to have a relaxing place to go to. The servers have always been decent to us and the food is amazing. Theres a large selection of fresh seafood, an excellent selection of seafood and regular dishes. The dim sum selection, although small is good as well and we'd welcome a bigger selection. Its easy to see why this restaurant has been voted burnaby's fav over and over again.
We enjoy their war won ton and the seafood platter. We recently tried their tofu platter- black bean sauce and loved it. The servers are always friendly and smiling which is great when there's a wait. This place is popular so it is likely there will be a wait
Escellent value, excellent service and excellent food = winning combination.
