Chong's Wuntun House - Vancouver

Average Sichuan food place. Located within the food court, this place is right in the middle of the food court surrounded by other tasty shops.

First off let me say i have not tried mapu tofu before nor have I ever ate an authentic Szechuan restaurant so I have nothing to compare it to (unless Chong

The best way to tell if a place is authentic Chinese is if the food is covered in a layer of chili oil that gets everywhere.

Normally this restaurant has good food and good service. For our usual dim sum fare we ordered a total of 8 dishes. 1. the pan fried daikon radish wasn't tanned (some of the flavor comes from tanning,) 2. their famous baked barbeque pork buns also wasn't tanned, so the bottom was a bit soggy and didn't have the crunchy top they are well known for, 3. the steamed shrimp

It has now been 5 years (almost to the day) since we (senior couple and daughter) first walked into Chong’s Restaurant to try their dim sum, and 3 years since I submitted my last update to our dining experiences there. Like I have said before, Chong’s quickly became “our place” for dim sum — dim sum for breakfast - yum! It’s a rather small place, gets crowded, wonderfully-noisy, and for us, has always offered such good value-priced, and tasty dim sum fare. We enjoy the friendly, and very casual nature of the place, it has always sounded and ‘felt’ good to us, and over the years, we have come to know so many fellow diners there. We never looked back after that first dining experience, and I sure cannot count the number of times we have walked in since then.What’s to update? Not really not very much since my last update, except for further across-the-board minimal price increases, and applied to all dim sum offerings. On the current dim sum menu-: ‘basic’ dim sum offerings (40 dishes) are priced at $3.48/each — the two roast and bbq pork ‘on’ steamed rice dishes are priced at $5.38/each — chef specials (20 offerings - soups, veggie dishes, small hot pots, deep fried prawns and squid, chicken knees, and the like) priced from $5.38 - $8.38 — the congees (seafood, fish, chicken, beef, and pork) priced from $5.50 - $5.98/bowl, and $11.80 - $13.50/casserole — chow meins (house special and seafood) priced at $13.50/each — and rice/noodle dishes (13 offerings) priced at $7.98/each.Dishes ordered today: all dishes came from kitchen to our table piping hot, well-prepared, and tasty. - steamed prawn
