Went here for lunch and was seated with a bunch of other people who were of small parties. Order 3 dimsum dishes and was pleasantly surprised that the size of each plate was quite large. Taste was pretty good and the servers were not too bad. They occasionally bumped into people who's chair were near their path. That got annoying at times as they were bumping into people and forcing their way to move on. Fortunately for me I was not near their warpath. My disappointment comes from the lady who I believe is the manager or at least one of them if not the owner. I heard her being pushy with some customers and she could learn some manners. When I went up to pay for my lunch she was busy counting the tips. We made a brief eye contact but she did not give me an indication that she will be helping me soon. So I stood there waiting for her to finish her counting. Then she went off to give another person their bill without acknowledging me at all. After several minutes of waiting she finally printed off my bill and I paid leaving very little tip as the meal was spoiled but her rudeness. Otherwise I had a pleasant meal.

I've been to this restaurant a few times with family and friends and found the food quite decent but the service always mediocre. Today, my husband and I went there for lunch and the place was relatively empty at around 1:30PM. After we finished we asked for our bill and finally after we got it, we placed the exact change in the tray with the bill. We were discussing how much tip we should leave when a male waiter came along and looked at the tray and said, "No tip? No tip?" Then picked the tray up, looked at the tray then stirred the money around, as if to count it, dropped the tray on the table and walked away. At this point, I said to my husband, "I don't think he deserves any tip with that kind of attitude". Another lady server came along and scoped up the tray and took off. The male waiter noticed this and went to speak to her. Then he came back and said, "No tip? Don't come back anymore" and proceeded to strip off the table cloth right in front of us almost throwing a bag that was on the table to the floor. Obviously, a hint for us to leave.

Who needs that kind of attitude and service when there are so many other great places we can go to that appreciates our business. These people seem to think that they're service is fantastic but little do they know that word gets around and before you know it, their sales start declining and before you know it, it's goodbye Charlie. Better wake up, Po King Seafood owners. Competition is the name of the game and at this rate you won't be in business long. We certainly won't be going back to were we're not wanted and treated so disrespectfully. Mr. Waiter, don't worry you won't be seeing us again! Goodbye Mack and may you continue to search for that illusive "tip" because at the rate you're going it's going to be slim pickin's!

I was definately appalled. I don't think I have EVER seen anything as horrible as this. I really don't know how to put my experience into words.

My friend had gone into the restaurant to wait in line, while the rest of us park the car. The waitress will not give him a table until his whole entire party was there. That part I understand. However, when we showed up, she asked if we wanted to share a table. When we said no, she was definately disgusted and told us that it will be a very long wait. She also reiterated that same line to the next couple of people.

She finally called out our number 5 minutes later (so much for the long wait). She pointed us to a direction, we went and saw no table. She then walked over to a table, pointed at it (with people still sitting there), tapped on their bill, while telling us that they will be leaving soon.

When I sat down, I was right by the isle. The push carts caught my chair, everytime they went by and when they couldn't really fit to get by, they pushed and pushed until they can.

While the next table had 8 people. After a little while, the lady put two more settings and put new people at the table. The people told them that they were there first and didn't want to share. She told them that she has to do business and this is the way it has to be.

NEVER, EVER GOING BACK!!!!! FOR SURE, FORE SURE!!!!

Our usual dining gang plus special guests A&E were craving dim sum, and PK filled the bill. They do it old school there, and there were lots of carts with tasty treats on board. I saw the screaming hostess doing her thing, but that is SOP for a real Chinese dim sum place. The restaurant was cramped and dirty (especially the w/c), but well-lit, and service was very good. There were lots of choices and we had all the usual suspects: siu mai, har gow, chasiubow, fung zhou, tripes, shrimps wrapped in noodle, beef balls, etc. We also had sweet tofu dessert, and baked tapioca pudding. All were good, and the price was right. They also did not charge us for tea, which was nice. If you can stand the claustrophobic seating and the noise, you can get decent dim sum here.

This restaurant has been a regular for my family and in-laws for the great value and good dim sum they serve. The food is generally very good, and a table of four with ten dishes cost us only $30 dollars.

What really kills this restaurant for us is the horrible service that you will receive. From the table clearers up to the management, there is a horrible attitude that prevails across the staff. From the manager who seats you and drags you by the hand to your table (and yells a hell of a lot at EVERYONE), to the staff who gave my mother a bad attitude as half the dishes we had set were filthy, don’t go to this restaurant if you’re expecting to be treated half-decent.

In a nut-shell, don’t go if you want to be treated with respect. Just go for the good quality, inexpensive dim sum and let your tip (or lack thereof) speak for the horrible service you receive.

I doubt we'll go back again, nothing like being treated like crap to take my business elsewhere.

Went for dim sum on Friday with a few colleagues. We got there around 12:30pm and the place was packed with mostly Asians (good sign). Fortunately, we were strategically seated near the kitchen, so we had first dibs as the carts rolled by. We ended up order 12 dishes, which added up to $44 including tax (but not tip). Great value. The dumplings (we ordered four types) were HUGE and packed with shrimp. Service was typical -- hasty & loud, but hey, it's a Chinese restaurant, so what do you expect? I'll definitely be adding this place to the lunch circuit.

Po King is close to my work place, so we decided to try it out for lunch.

The restaurant is fairly large and always crowded during lunch. The decoration is not bad, but be prepared for the noise level. Service is basically non-existent as previous reviewers have said. Don't expect the server to even slow down or look at you when you make a request to them. That's how it is at most dim sum restaurants, so I don't mind too much as long as I get the things I ask for.

The food is slightly above average for dim sum. Their har gow is very good and the portions tend to be a bit on the large side. Stay away from the deep fried squid (it's soggy and stringy). Because it's the cart system, you may sometimes find you're unable to get popular items like har gow if you happen to have bad seating. Price is decent. We go really only because it's in the neighborhood, but it's passable as far as dim sum places go.

As a kid, I remember going for dim sum with my family every Saturday. The dim sum was nothing fancy or extraordinary that one might see at higher end restaurant. They are just plain simple dim sum, that I consider comfort food (chinese style). Finally, I found a place that fits the bill.

Po King offers simple, old style dimsum. All the dishes tastes great. And at 2.95 per dish, even better.

This is the kind of thing >I< expect from a good Dim Sum Restaurant, decent tasting food good sized enough to fill me up. Alot of pple think just because a place costs more its better quality. That is not the case. Sure Po King isnt the best but it isn't in my opinion as bad as pple make it out to be.

If you dont want a true Dim Sum experience along with the Dim Sum "girls" pushing the carts, the loud noise and crowded tables. Pushy boss lady asking if you want to share tables then that's right this restaurant isnt for you!. But think about this?.. why do all the chinese pple flock to these restaurants and pack into them? just cuz they are cheap? i dont think so. This place is one of my favourite restaurants for dim sum. Tasty Dishes and thats what i want. You expect Caucasian style service at a whim, not this place.

That is how i know a good chinese restaurant, if its packed with asians its gotta be good!

Made a decision to go to this restaurant today for dim sum, and it was a wrong decision. I had the worst dim sum experience ever in Vancouver. And here's why:

The food was really poorly made. Yes, the portion was big, but quality was poor. I ordered some steam dumplings, pan fried taro cake, and chives dumplings. The steam dumplings are poorly made, the stuffing was obviously not fresh, the wrap was thick and chewy, and they were put in a very dirty bamboo steamers. Yes, it's traditionally that dim sum are pushed in the carts, but then with people pointing and talking over the uncovered food, it was very disgusting and non-hygienic. The taro cake was really really bad. It was cold and it has a really strong dirty oil taste to it. We later told the manager that the taro cake was bad, and he refused to listen to it.

Service was poor. When we arrived, we were told to stand by a table and wait until the customer finished paying his bill. Really can't believe people are still doing that nowadays in a restaurant. The utensils and plates are dirty, and we have to rinse them. The servers just took the dirty dishes in a bucket around where the dirty water dripped over the food carts. When being told that the food was not good, the manager did not acknowledge that, and also tried to brush it off by walking away.

Value, I guess some people would say it's good because of the big portion. But honestly, I would not even want to pay $3 for garbage like that, so to me, it's really poor!

Ambiance, typical Chinese restaurant. But it was poor because of the hygiene. People are crammed together and dirty dishes carts are pushed and laid around near the tables. Definitely unappetizing.

Sorry, I'd rather go back to my usual dim sum restaurant.
