Chongqing

I just tried the Chinese-style butter chicken at Chongqing restaurant on Kingsway and it was absolutely amazing! The dish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a great texture. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and not at all greasy. The butter chicken was really tasty and satisfying. I loved the texture and flavor of this dish, and the presentation was also very pleasing to the eye. The dining experience at Chongqing restaurant on Kingsway was really enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I was really happy with my meal and would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great food.

We started going/ordering from ChongQing in 2017, the food was great and we never thought on going to any other of their locations. However, to us, the quality of the food has changed significantly, some of the items like the deep fried spicy squid was super oily and the sweet and sour spare ribs had more bone than meat on it. Even the take out packaging has changed, it used to be in boxes with the items very well organized. The last time we order, the food came in plastic bags and plastic containers. It seems that the management of this business has been changed.

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.

This restaurant has been around for years.. It is not a big restaurant with 5 booths, 1 large table and a banquet against the window with various 2 tops and 4 tops. Parking in front. They have an extensive lunch menu. The staff is efficient and friendly, for a Wednesday afternoon, the restaurant is 90% full with mix of clientele. Not all asians as I assumed. I ordered the Seafood Crispy Noodles including the Hot and Sour Soup. The food comes out fast, the soup is flavourful with the numbing spicy effect but the consistency is more like gravy, which is too thick to my liking. The Seafood Crunchy noodles indeed was very crunchy with 2 prawns, 2 pieces of small fried fish, 2 super chewy squid and a handful of eraser sized scallops and Bok Choy. The sauce over the noodles has the flavour but the seafood is bland, however again, the sauce, I suspect is made with an abundance of corn starch, so it’s super thick. At the end of the meal, you can literally see the sauce congealing into solid jelly. I do like the attentiveness of the staff, there were 3 servers always walking around, clearing and cleaning tables. They have their own napkins printed, and at the end of the meal, you get a fortune cookie, which reminds me of the old visit to their Broadway location when we used to eat there in the 80s. Most Chinese restaurants don’t offer fortune cookies anymore.

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.

It's not really Chongqing food but more of a pan-Chinese restaurant. Nevertheless, the food was surprisingly flavourful and as someone from southern China, I enjoyed the taste. The servers were quite pleasant too!

The food portion is massive. I was surprised how big the amount is. we definitely over ordered, not knowing the size only had 4 ppl ordered 7 dishes, lol. The food came very fast, and the service was very fast. I'm definitely coming back when I am in Vancouver . The food tastes good as they look.Food: 5/5

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 :

I’ve been coming here for years and the service has always been amazing every time! The portions are massive yet so affordable. The workers are always so friendly and eager to help. My friend and I ordered soup and the server even brought us small bowls and poured it in for us right at the table without us even asking. I asked for a lot of chilli oil and the server came through by giving me way more than I expected which made us both laugh. I felt like I was being needy but they really made me feel at ease. The server even came over with napkins without me asking. Even when paying, the manager asked me if he could get me more tea or water. So attentive I feel like they’re reading my mind. 10/10 I left feeling so happy with the service
