Affectionally known as “Peaceful”, this Northern Chinese restaurant has been offering their traditional cuisine across several locations within the lower mainland for years now. And today we were at the one on 5th ave, celebrating an earlier Chinese New Year, with a collection of “Peaceful’s” most popular. A feast of 17 dishes, including their beef rolls and dan dan noodles. All prepared by owner and head Chef, Charlie Huang. Many may be familiar with him and his restaurant chain thanks to the interview and mention of both on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Dive-Ins, and Drives” television series.
Service is average.
Food is decent but on the oily side. I recommend the noodle soup as it will be less oily.
Lunch menu is affordable and around/below $10.
The hand dragged noodles are awesome though.
so another peaceful restaurant is located at mount pleasant was around the location so came to drop by to have a quick lunch, had the one near broadway city hall before and it was definitely decent and satisfy my carb craving for noodle :) and so tried this place, and tried a few dishes here, overall i did taste a heavier taste of white pepper in my dish, and overall outside from that it was definitely okay though, definitely a decent place to grab lunch :) ordered the xiao long bao and wu hua rou quan and it was okay, i definitely like the beef roll for sure.
I always have such high hopes but am always disappointed about something., usually the most important part of the meal ex. noodles always arrive overcooked. Maybe this just isn't the right food for delivery and I should try them eating in again as that was more successful. Dumplings can be bland. Spareribs can be more bone and fat than meat.
I had received very high recommendations for this location and was slightly disappointed by the dumplings. The staff was sorry to hear about our experience and assured us it was not normal. Soup was excellent though and definitely saved the day! I would go back.
Tasty! Food was great, service was good. Thoroughly enjoyed this first time dining experience.
Great Food. We had a large group of 9 diners, which they were able to accommodate. The food was good overall. Favourites were the eggplant, seafood noodles, cumin lamb, beef roll. Service is friendly and efficient. Don't leave without trying their hand pulled noodles-what a difference fresh noodles make. We dined family style, and the bill came out to $18 a head. Not bad considering the variety and quantity of food.
I've been to the original location on west 4th but I prefer this one because parking is easier and it seems easier to get a table. First time we went, actually the first couple times we went - the food and service was good. This time the food was good but the service and the order the dishes came out was bad. Our appetizer of glass noodles w/chicken and peanut sauce arrived after our main dishes yet our other appetizer of the beef roll arrived in the right order - at the beginning of the meal. Then our veggie dish didn't come until we were finished eating and packing up our leftovers! It took two servers and three tries to get our bill. I still like this place and equate our bad night to servers who weren't organized.
Wow absolutely delicious. Had the peaceful house special noodles, lamb dumplings, and the famous beef roll. Very impressed. A whole new Chinese food experience
They’re best known for their house made noodles and their beef rolls, but since I had noodles earlier in the day, I was not inclined to have more.
My dinner companion picked the “chinese ratatouille” (I’m sure that’s an odd translation, but that’s what it was called on the menu).
