Our first take out order in Nanaimo. It is not a place to go to for dine in. They only do take out. You will get a 10% discount if you pick it up by yourself. But if you cannot, you pay the regular price. You can pay cash or card when ordering by phone upon delivery. The good thing here you can order before 12 midnight. I love their fried rice, and their curry fried rice. I dislike their almond chicken, though. Their chow mien tastes all the same even though you ordered different varieties.
Enjoy most of their stuff, especially the spicy fried tofu and hot and sour soup.... but if you order some of their noodle dishes, like Shanghai noodle, they give you literal spaghetti pasta, which is extremely disappointing. If I wanted that I would dig into my pantry, otherwise very tasty.
Best chinese food avail in town. Though there was not dine in, they allowed us to to dine in by settin up a table in there. The lady was very nice and polite. Affordable rateRecommended dishesChicken Chow Mein, Chinese Food
Wow..... I quote Jodie Foster from the movie contact when she says "they should have sent a poet". this food was beyond amazing. Best of the island has to offer so far.Food: 5/5
Can't give this a zero star, so they unfortunately get. One star. "Chow mein" was made from instant noodles packs with miniscule slices of veggies and "chicken" . Almond chicken was soggy and tasteless. Deep fired prawns were shrimp with about an inch coating of batter and tasteless, broccoli and beef, lacked any beef whatsoever, and was mainly carrots in a beef gravy. If this chef would like, i would challenge him to a cook off of the so called dishes. Absolutely worthless. And 4 plates for $80. I brought a dish of Mr. Noodles chicken for them to compare to
Great first time experience. Awsome food. Good service. We'll be back.Food: 5/5
I’m shocked this place has so many bad reviews! My partner and I ordered from here twice last weekend, and both times we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. We tried pork fried rice, chicken chop suey, chicken wings, sweet and sour pork, and szechuan style pork. Our only complaint is that they do not cook their carrots enough in the chop suey — not a huge deal since the flavours are so good, however. Also, for my gluten free friends, Dover Chinese is on the Celiac Scene and can prepare a very large variety of their dishes gluten free! Pretty awesome! I also want to say that the service we received was friendly and kind. I do recommend trying Dover Chinese despite some negative reviews from some other people.

Fantastic service, we order their chop sueys weekly, they are sooo good!
Oh dear. This is the third visit in 14 months. Very disappointing. Tasteless food. Undercooked items. Why? Come on. Oh, and expensive especially since it is tasteless. We are from Vancouver so I guess we are spoiled from excellent Chinese food. We will not be trying a fourth time. Get some cooks who know how to make authentic Chinese food.
They deliver city wide and are certainly the most reasonably priced in town. Pretty dang good tasting for the price as well. Will definitely order again
