Went for some Szechuan food on Robson street. It was not that busy as we had just missed the lunch crowd. The service was good and food was good. I will go back. The furniture does not adapt well for a Chinese restaurant but it's good for Robson Street. This is a small place so maybe it's not that great when the restuarant is busy. Reasonable prices. Only problem was finding some parking in the area.

I ate lunch at the new Chongquing on Robeson and was impressed. The lunch specials looked good and I tried Tan Tan noodles with the deep fried pork chops. Very, very good( better than Lin's, the the Golden Great Wall but not as good Tan Tan Mein as at the Shanghai Wonderful), and a bargain at $7.75 before tip, because you have enough to eat !!! and it tastes good too! The portions were generous, service was very good(mebbe because it wasn't crowded) and the black seating and white interior is very stylish and relaxing, although the music can be obtrusive. Much better than over priced ramen houses with feature soup, noodles and just an excuse for protein. A small joint with seating for 50? but very cool, very tasty and a true find('cos there aint very good Chinese food in the West End). The only caveat is no xiao long bao...alas?
