After 6 months in Nanaimo, I thought I would never find any traditional Chinese food... But thanks to the recommendation of our friend (local foodie) we found a winner at Golden Inn!
We had the 3 course Peking duck ($53.95), seafood hotpot ($20.95), and a Chow Kui Tew ($16.95).
For the Peking duck: it comes with the crispy skin and wrappers, lettuce wrap, and duck soup. It all tasted very authentic! The skin was crispy (I wish there was more!), the filling for the lettuce wraps was perfect, and the soup was so flavorful! This was definitely a pleasant surprise to find in Nanaimo 💕
The seafood hotpot was good as well, filled with scallops, prawns, squid, tofu and veggies. A little saucy but fresh!
The Chow Kui Tew was great, with lots of "wok hay" (smokey wok flavors) but could've used a bit more salt. Flavors were all there though!
Overall we were very satisfied with our meal, the quality, and service! Although portions are a bit smaller, we'll definitely come back to try their live seafood and other specialty dishes 😁
Most authentic decor in Nanaimo makes the standard fair on the menu worth while. But you gotta dine in to appreciate it. Live a little!
Just coming out from the Ferry and looking for a place for lunch. We thought of getting the buffet but it was a little bit late for it, our server suggested a dinner combination, which was yummy and very cheap($12.95) for the two of us. Great decor and ambiance. The service was remarkable, very friendly
