.Chongqing was the venue chosen for our lunch recently. We (the usual threesome) arrived about 1 pm, and fortunately, were able to catch one of only two vacant spots available in the restaurant’s small and busy parking lot.
The restaurant - though rather small in size, provides a decent selection of both booth and various sized table seating arrangements, and was naturally-bright, clean, and tidy. I would call it “comfortably busy” when we arrived, still offering a good choice of seating - we chose a booth at back, alongside the inside wall (and thought it had a cozy and private ‘feel’ to it). Once tucked in place, our server was right there with a place setting needed, copies of lunch & regular menus, and soon after, at our request, with mugs of hot tea, and glasses of water. Service was pleasant and friendly, and helpful (as required) throughout our stay.
We ordered solely from the ‘Lunch Special’ menu, and shared four of the listed ‘C’ dishes (priced @ $10.95 each) — Lettuce Wrap, w/Duck — Seafood Chow Mein, w/pan-fried (dry) noodle — General Tso’s Chicken & Rice — Stir-fried Green Beans, Mushroom, w/Snap Peas & Rice. The hot tea supplied without extra charge.
Service from kitchen to table was very timely, with all dishes arriving quite promptly, in generous portion sizes, warm, and looking good. Preparations were tasty and flavourful. Ingredients in each, quite plentiful, well-prepared, and distinctly-seasoned - veggies ‘crispy’ tender, noodles not overdone, chicken and seafoods moist and tender. All dishes were definitely seasoned quite ’spicy hot’, but none overly so (a little close for comfort for me with the beans & such, but ok otherwise, and quite ’perfect’ with all dishes for the ladies!).
We enjoyed our dining experience and lunch tastes at Chongqing. We had been ‘out & about’ for quite some time (for us ‘youngsters’) that morning (w/shopping and an appointment), were ready for this lunch, and it did not disappoint.

Chongqing has been around for ages. I remember back when I was younger, I use to travel to their original location on West Broadway. Since that location has closed, this was my first time back in years. I was excited to take my girlfriend out on date night.
I decided to order the peeking duck 2 course. They also have half orders but I decided on full order. we didn't mind taking home extras. But for a couple to save money and just have enough to fill your bellies, half order would do the trick.
Our first course was with the rice crepes. It comes with condiments. The hoisin sauce, cucumbers, and onions. It's a no brainer, build it and it eat.
The second course was the duck lettuce wraps. Again, fill the stuffing onto the lettuce.
They prepped the peeking duck beautifully. It was savory and crispy. We enjoyed every bite. The lettuce wrap was refreshing with the crisp cold lettuce. Zomato didn't update the menu again. Just a heads up that I paid 40 bucks for the 2 course full order. But for this price... I think it's still reasonable. Your getting value and quality. Our services for the night was good. Just a grumpy looking waiter, but in general our glasses were always filled.
Lunch special. Seems like almost every Chinese restaurant in Vancouver knows these two words. It's like they all went into a marketing meeting and came up with the idea that the best form of retaining customers and reaching out to new ones is to offer a lunch special menu. Not just one item, but a huge variety of items. Looking at Chongqing's lunch special menu, I opted for "Diced Chicken in Chili, Sour & Garlic Sauce w/Spinach & Rice. Pretty self explanatory. I think every single ingredient is listed in the name. Plus one for another Chinese restaurant tactic. No fancy names, let's just list out every single ingredient.
Exellent service and food! they offer very good lunch specials. me and my co-workers come here almost 5 times a week.BTW remember to get their stamp card for free lunch. Highly recommended if you are looking for some good chinese food.
Great food, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Excellent siu long baos and ginger beef! Decent portions. Small restaurant so if you're going as a big group, you should make a reservation. Highly recommended!
Fast delivery in 15 minutes! Good quality and delicious. Only $1 delivery charge. Honey garlic beef is to die for. Service was polite and efficient. Totally ordering from here again!!
Delicious food, but the service was a bit cold here. Not sure if that's just how it is or what. But the food was pretty good.
Went for lunch to Chongqing on a Saturday afternoon. As usual the food was very well prepared and well flavoured. I also like the service here - quietly efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.
Great Food and Great Service !. I have been to this restaurant four five times and every time, their food are great and service from their staff have always been great even with kids (as a lot of Chinese Restaurants and bubble places aren't please when they see customers coming in with kids or infants).
When I want 擔擔麵 , that's my own place I will be looking for it =)
Been there 5 times in the last month for lunch. GREAT lunch specials - lots of variety , delicious food and very affordable pricing. Will return any day!
Went for a nice family dinner and the food was fantastic! The whole family loved it. Our server recommended we go with the two course Peking duck, and it was absolutely worth it! The stir fry filling in lettuce wraps was to die for. Peking duck skin was crispy and overall delicious. Chowmein was also amazing. Family also liked the General Taos chicken which was more western...but very tasty. Will come back again and again.
Good service re attentive. Value to food portion is fair. Fried rice special is good. Noodle somewhat too much soya sauce. Wonton was good and taste homemade.
Tried this restaurant for the first time. Reviews are mixed so I thought I'd try their popular dishes. Mongolian Beef, Lemon Chicken, Chicken Fry Rice and Mixed Vegetables Stir Fry.
The Mongolian beef was pleasant surprise. Tasted great and good heat. Spice wasn't over powering. Fry rice and vegetables stir fry was good but take out containers was a bit on the small side for the price you pay.
Lemon Chicken was moist and flavourful, wished there was a bit more crunch but happy with the food nonetheless.
Perfect dine in restaurant during this time. Very well spaced, and menu can be viewed online or paper. Foods were served so quickly and fresh. It took about 10 minutes. The lemon chicken is so unique. It looks like chicken cutlet with sauce on the top. It was delicious and crispy. Egg fuyong was mildly flavored and soft. I expected it to be little crispy on the surface and gravy. But there was no option for sauce . I loved the portion of shrimp in the egg fuyong. Beef with black bean sauce was mediocre. The pieces of vegetable were too big. And flavor was not intense enough compare to the color of sauce. Overall, it was good dining experience. We will visit again for other cuisines as well :)
Excellent!!!Loved it!!! this place was Amazing!!! Lisa and her Team do an Outstanding job!!! the Ginger Beef was the Best we have ever tried, Also a star were the Green Beens!!! Do not miss this place!!! Five Stars for sure!!!
