I visited Big Chef Restaurant three years ago with my family and I was here again for another family dinner. My aunt likes this place so she suggested we come here and she picked all the food. Big Chef also does hot pot but we were here just for their regular menu items. They are located in Venezia Plaza on Alexandra Road (downstairs of where Deer Garden is).
Fresh Seafood Good Hot Pot. My family had a seafood dinner here and are really happy not only with the food they served but also their courteous service. They were so impressed that the whole family went again and again. Once for their hot pot. Another for other dishes as well as seafood (crabs).
The place is clean and not too noisy too.
It opens til late so we didn't have to rush.
The hot pot is really good. The food eg fish balls, shrimp balls, squid balls, fish paste etc are all freshly made. Plus they serve deep fried fish skin too! A must-eat delicacy whether you wanna dip it in hot pot or just eat it alone. Not many hot pot places serve this these days.
Yummy. Food is good, service is mediocre, price is a bit high, parking is difficult
Big Chef has one of the best Chinese Chefs in metro Vancouver area. He is not only the Executive Chef but also the owner of Big Chef Restaurant. Big Chef is also known for their hot pot service. I don’t normally come here for hot pot service because they don’t have all you can eat and it will end up a pricy bill if I’m trying to stuff myself with food. However, the ingredients they provide for hot pot service is very very fresh and in high quality. If only I’m not a student, I might enjoy the hot pot service more. WHAT IS “WOK HEY” Big Chef is one of my to go restaurant during late night cravings. Although they are not open 24 hours, they run till 2 AM in the morning on regular bases. I really enjoy coming here because their food never disappoint me. Chinese cuisine is very tricky, a lot of people don’t know how to tell what makes good Chinese food and they will just say there’s nothing special. Sometimes, actually most of the time, it bugs me. I grow up with my grandpa and he is a ver
One of the last dish to arrive of the night was a nice surprise when we discovered the scallops were perfectly deep fried – not over cooked but thoroughly juicy and tender. The prawns were big and elastic in every bite sautéed over a creamy salad dressing sauce. The only catch was, what happene
It's been a while since I went for late night at a Chinese restaurant. Big Chef seemed like a good choice as it offers the typical late night fare of congee and small plates. The restaurant has a promotion and you get a complimentary pot of congee (西洋菜蠔仔肉碎粥) if you order over $30 of food. The congee is made with watercress, small oysters and ground meat. It was very fluffy and creamy with tasty meat and vegetable morsels to chew on. The best part was that it was served piping hot. My favourite dish was the stir fried clams with black bean sauce (豉椒炒蜆). What I liked most was not the clams, but the thick and tasty sauce with a hint of spiciness. There were even bits of red and green pepper that added extra flavour to the dish. The egg tofu with mushroom (百靈菇扒玉子豆腐) was not bad, but the tofu skin was a bit coarse. The mushroom slices were really thin though. We got another vegetarian dish, stir fried Chinese cabbage with garlic (蒜茸白菜苗). It
