Hong Kong No 1 Chinese Restaurant - Burnaby, British Columbia

Dimsum, noodles, classic Hong Kong fast fry dishes, even frozen dimsum to take home. Lots and lots of Chinese/Hong Kong style dishes. Service was attentive. The only thing I didn't like was the Chinese radish cake (蘿蔔糕) was suppose to be fried on both sides. However, only one side was ... fried and the other side was soggy. Had to take home and fried it up some more. (Due to covid, didn't bother to send it back to the kitchen) Read more

I hadn’t been here in awhile. We came here for a late afternoon lunch when it wasn’t so busy. They offer an extensive menu including combination sets. We selected the 3 dishes combo set (all for $71.80) which included 3 bowls of rice, soup of the day (rather tasty), sweet ... dessert, and choice of deep fried eggplant or tofu. If you’re not into combo dishes, they offer dim sum dishes, noodles, & fried rice. There were a few dining ‘rules’ to content with – most importantly is that no credit cards are excepted (only cash, debit, WeChat Pay & AliPay); minimum $8 per person charge, corkage fee of $8 for each alcoholic beverage, etc. They’re located off Kingsway and Imperial with free parking in the lot or on the street. While we were dining we smelled cigarette smoke waffling from the back. We assumed it was a staff smoking in the back. A huge turn off and had to tell the server which wasn’t a concern. Prices have gone up due to Covid. Hours are 11:30 am to 11 pm. They take your temperature at the front door. Read more

This place has become a staple in Burnaby dining experiences, even though they've only been around for a few years. It is definitely a unique experience of Hong Kong's vibrant street food style cuisine. Our dining experience in general was very good but the pace and efficiency of service of ... our food and the lukewarm temperatures of the soup, left more to be desired. Everything else was good and the size of the dishes were generous. A recommended spot indeed! Read more

My husband and I went there a month ago. Since its name means "Taste of HK", I would want to pick up some memory. Unfortunately, it's a disappointed visit! Staff works way too slow. I'd been asked for FEW times separately to get menu, tea, one of our ... orders missing beef brisket and something else....lol...each time has to wave for awhile to GET their attention because their sight only goes one way haha...Regarding the taste of food, we ordered noodles with your choice of meat/veggie, sorry I won't say this is the taste of HK. The fish balls should be deep fried one for traditional HK style "wooden cart noodles". Overall, I can only give two stars and I'm not sure I would be back for their second chance. Read more

When my friend and I wanted to eat something for dinner we were driving at Kingsway in Burnaby, my friend had the idea to visit the “Wei Dao Café”. Unfortunately, the place is a bit hidden that we missed the entrance to the parking lot. On the second attempt we ... were able to make it. The restaurant was pretty empty; assumingly since it was quite early for dinner (around 5 pm). We ordered a combo of two items which comes with rice and soup. As main dishes we selected Ginger & Green Onion Beef Sizzling Pot and Crispy Deep Fried Pork Intestines. Additionally, we ordered a Bubble Waffle. The soup was not special, but ok. The Crispy Deep Fried Pork Intestines were quite greasy (according to my Chinese friend, it is the typical condition of that dish). That’s why it was quite heavy and it would have been better to try that dish in an appetizer size. Anyways, the pickled veggies under it were quite tasty. The only issue I had with that item was that it was not served hot but warm. However, the Ginger& Green Onion Beef Sizzling Pot came really sizzling hot. It was delicious. My friend complained about the small amount of green onions. Nevertheless, he also liked the meal. The price is not low. However, I liked the calm environment and the relaxing music. 3.5 out of 5 Read more
