I have dined at Rockford Langley four times with different groups of people. We have always gotten poor service and when asked about the spice of one dish we were grossly miss informed. The food has always been hit and miss, good one day and horrible the next. When we attended the grand opening we were seated beside the kitchen to have a very rude and angry Executive Chef yelling at everyone that came by him. It was distracting and horrifying, I felt bad for the poor waitresses. I have also dined at the North Vancouver location three times and even though it was always very slow, I was still left waiting for my lunch. And each time a new General Manager introduced himself to me. Same with Langley, which answers the question of why they are so inconsistent. The concept is ok but the execution and quality is not there. I have given Rockford too many chances only to be let down time and time again. I honestly would not go back again, especially with other great restaurants in the Langley area. Sorry Rockford!

Although we hardly need another chain restaurant in Langley, this one does offer some great alternative menu options, and a fantastic bar and ambiance.

Offering an asian/wok theme, there are some fantastic menu items such as the Prawn tacos with chocolate bacon, Kung Pao chicken, and Szeschuan beef. The bar side is our favourite, as it offers a great vibe, and the decor is modern and cool. The current GM does a fantastic job at making everyone feel welcome.

If you are looking for dinner out in Langley, add this to your list of places to try, it's on par with Milestones or Earls and offers some great menu items. Prices are around the same as well.

After working in Langley for nine years, lunch time begins to get mundane so my co-workers and I were ecstatic at the idea of a new restaurant opening up just minutes away from our location. My wife and I and two friends decided to try it out on a Saturday night.
Upon arriving at the door the hosts were very nice and friendly, and asked for how many and if it was our first visit. One host actually explained to us what the restaurant was known for and informed us that the ``wok dishes`` were her favorite. She than asked us if we prefer dining or lounge, once we responded with lounge she put the menus back on the shelf and said its self-seating and pointed us towards a busy lounge. We would have liked to been sat with the menus at very least so that we could have something to look at while waiting for our waitress to come. We waited for the waitress to come for at least 10 minutes. There seemed to be only two working in the lounge and this seemed to be overwhelming for both, as we looked around we noticed many tables with empty drinks and dirty plates. This was an ominous view of how the rest of night would go.
The waitress finally noticed us and did apologize for the wait; she proceeded to take drink orders and said she would be right back with some menus. She returned several minutes later with menus but no drinks. About 5 more minutes passed and we could see our beers and my wine sitting at the bar. Once we did receive our drinks minutes later by a different server, we asked if we could order some appies to which we were told she was not our server and she would call her over. She too apologized for the delay and left. Some time passed and our server came back again apologizing and took our appy order, we than asked to place our dinner order as well and one more round of drinks. Our round of drinks came very fast this time, unfortunately the server never came back to clear the glass wear from the first round and we were left with clutter on our table.
Our appies were okay, we ordered the squid which was soggy and the edamame that was far too salty. Our server was nowhere to be found and about 20 minutes later after we were sitting with dirty plates and glass wear she came by. At which point all four of us were very disappointed and mentioned to her that the level of service up to than had been poor. She again apologized and said she would grab her manager. We waited for at least another 15minutes when a male approached us while we were just about to dig into our entrees and he apologized and mentioned that he would take care of some appies for us and a round of drinks. The entrees were a good portion size, however the flavor profiles were not as aromatic as we had expected for the Asian influenced cuisine. My wife had the Mumbai Chicken and she ended up eating only the chicken which she salted herself to get some flavor, I had the ribs which came with Asian slaw that was mushy and not very tasty at all, the ribs were fall off the bone but the flavor profile just didn’t work, they were a cross between Chinese sticky ribs and BBQ sauce. Our friends both had the mushroom chicken that looked like hospital food! It was a chicken breast placed over some mash potatoes and a creamy runny mushroom sauce with some under cooked broccoli lining the bowl- it was offensive to all senses.
We threw away majority of our meals and asked for the bill. To add insult to injury we noticed nothing was taken off by the manager that spoke to us! Upon watching him we noticed that he was talking to people in the lounge and at the bar and noticed him drinking as well. We were appalled, paid our bill our full bill and left. Overall ambience was good, music was at a good volume but the restaurant itself looked too similar to Moxies. The food was horrible, and the service including the management was just horrible, because of this I will never go back.
