I used to enjoy Curry King, and that were quite a few years ago. The last couple of visits left me disappointed. It seems like neither the cooks nor the servers care any more. Two Sundays ago, we ordered a few baked dishes for lunch. All tasted the same and all were really tiny. The servers were inattentive, and seemed to have a hard time knowing who ordered what, and which table they were supposed to bring the food to. It's not likely I will be giving them a third chance anytime soon.

Visited here during the week for lunch and fairly busy. They seem to have a good following for lunch from the local offices. Seems like your big menu HK Cafe with the specialty being curries. Ordered the chicken curry and it was very good, smooth and not too spicy - HK style. Also shared the beef vermeceilli and some green veggies. Overall pretty good and big portions. Quality is a bit higher than your typical HK Cafe and price reflects. Service is quick and efficient. Clean inside. Good Value.

I remember eating here awhile back. Though the place was clean with prompt service, the food was incredibly disgusting for me. Possibly it was an off day.. or I just ordered the wrong foods. But my brother loves to eat here for some reason.

I recall ordering the chicken cutlet with some kind of sauce with a side of spaghetti. The chicken was so overcooked that when I poked at it, it kinda started to just break apart. And the spaghetti was also extremely overcooked to the point where if I tried to pick it up with my fork, it would just break in half. I was downright angry with the quality of food they dished out and refused to eat it.. so I ended up going home to eat instead.

I would not come back here.

I was in B-town with Mrs. Chasiubow when I spotted Curry King. I figured it was an Indian restaurant so I begged my beloved to let me go. She isn't crazy about curry but agreed anyway. We both ended up being pleasantly surprised.

Despite the name, this place is a HK style restaurant. They do have a good selection of curries though. I had the lamb curry on rice, which was a really big portion of strong curry with tender boneless lamb bits in a savoury sauce. My wife had the noodles in soup with fish balls. It was great, too. The restaurant also has fresh juices, lots of curry choices, and all the usual HK cuisine I crave.

The ambience is good, the place is clean (including the w/c) and the servers are very quick and friendly. They have a couple of big TV’s which were showing the latest soaps off Fairchild TV. That had most of the diners riveted. This place gets a big late dinner crowd, so it would be best to go early.

Recommended!

The name is catchy to say the least. In the past, the place would be packed. However in recent months driving and walking by, the place seemed fairly empty.

I have tried eating there twice and each time was below my standard compared to other HK type cafe restaurants. The dishes were bland and not too appealing.

I would think they had so much business back then was the location, the name and probably had better food in the past.

They have expanded their franchise to other locations (Cambie), but after eating here, my expectation is qutie low compared to the other Curry King. Thanks...but no thanks.

There are other cheaper and better HK cafe type restaurants out there.

I was pleasantly surprised by this HK style cafe serving up chinese and western dishes. Ordered the baked pork chop on fried rice and hot and sour soup and both were pretty good. I will definately order take out or even dine in next time! Probably go try the specialty curry as it is their house special items. Recommended!

I tried to like this restaurant, however first impressions are everything in this business no matter who the customer is - seasoned or new. This was my first impression:

1) Waitresses gave us the blank stare whenever we tried to make eye contact. They then then looked away to seemingly avoid us. When they do walk by there are no smiles, no hellos or checking back after you meal to ensure things were right.

2) Which brings me to point 2. We ordered a curry dish and got a different one than on the menu. Seafood curry and we got shrimp curry. $14 for 3 potato pieces and 10 shrimps. Now that is some $$$$$ frozen shrimp. The rice was yellow and dry with burnt pieces. The worse was our Chow Mein which reminded me of leftovers. The noodle weren't even cooked in the center of the plate. Is was cold and soggy with no taste of the wok. I didn't enjoy my meal at all and the waitress did nothing - she walked away after I asked if I even had the right dish.

3) We left with a 50 cent tip to which the waitress was overheard saying "cheap." With such horrid customer service and atrocious food, she was lucky she got anything. I'm not trying to be mean, but nothing was rectified or stood out.

The only positive I got was the Canucks flag hanging over the kitchen entrance. Frankly, I will never return.

I have been to this restaurant for a number of times and found it to be.... accepting. I stopped going to this restaurant when they changed my favorite dish. The Char Koay Teow started off being a seafood dish then they got rid of it and replaced with pork and other cheaper fillers.

My friend once asked them to make his steak medium rare. I don't know why he bothers to ask them. The steak came to his table pretty much the way the rest of ours came. Overdone.

The Hainan Chicken Rice was decent. Chicken was boiled just right, the soup came out comforting.

English seems to be a major struggle with the servers there. I asked for a few items to be subsituted (I'm not a fan of pork) and they did not understand me though they try. When it gets to be too busy, the service suffers from lack of staff.

Not the best but definitely give it a try if you haven't already.

I've been here twice.

The first time, I had the Peppered Chicken Steak. It was decent - you can't mess up a chicken steak. It came with rice & frozen veggies (peas, carrots, corn). Nothing special.

The second time, I had the Baked Pork with Curry Sauce on Rice. I think the baked items are better! The pork was crispy and the curry sauce was flavourful & a bit creamy/thicker with a smooth consistency. It was not too spicy and was mild-hot at best. For $6.25, I enjoyed a drink along with my meal and I left full & stayed full for the whole afternoon.

The service is average & the ambiance is solid. It's a lot cleaner than some other HK restaurants.
