Reviews
I've dined at this restaurant several times, and it continues to impress. Quality Chinese cuisine can be hard to come by on the North Shore, but this establishment rivals some of the best you'll find in Vancouver.nnOn our recent visit, we ordered primarily from the weekly specials menu, and every dish exceeded expectations. The food is well-prepared and flavourful.nnService is attentive and welcoming, and the restaurant maintains a high standard of cleanliness. It's always a pleasure to return.
Their handmade noodle was very impressive. It was chewy but perfectly cooked so tender at the same time. The reason for one less star was because of the soup of the beef noodle. It’s not oily at all which was nice, but it’s too salty for us and the taste of soy sauce was too strong.nThe dumplings were rich of stuffing and flavor. Same issue with the noodle soup, the stuffing was a bit too salty. However, the sourness in the dipping sauce balanced the saltiness a little.nOverall, it’s still an amazing experience having dinner here. We will definitely come back to check out other dishes next time.
Lao Cai Chinese Cuisine is an independent restaurant on West Vancouver’s Marine Drive that serves Shaanxi style North-Western Chinese cuisine with a few modern dishes to complement its core offerings.nnThe staples of this cuisine are mostly flour-based carbs: hand pulled noodles, dumplings, and ‘pita breads’ buns, all of which they proudly make in-house. Their execution is praiseworthy as they appear to closely adhere to the time-honoured recipes of the classic dishes: the ’Stewed Pork Burger’, Cold Rice Noodle Salad, and Hand-ripped Noodle Dough in Lamb Broth all tasted legit.nnIn addition to these, we found their braised lamb chops and home-made dumplings to be fresh and full of natural flavour. The lamb chops paired nicely with the dry spice seasoning and pickled garlic a Shaanxi favourite!, and the dumplings were just oozing with meaty juices that explode in the mouth.nnAmusingly, we also loved how our Osamanthus tea was so fragrant that the lady who sat at the next table couldn’t help but notice it. She ended up ordering one herself after asking us about it.nnOverall, this is a great place to eat, and judging from the full house situation at lunchtime, this restaurant must be a crowd favourite. We saw many who came in groups ordered the duck soup to share hot-pot style, which seems to be another good reason to come back. Kudos also to the excellent service of the floor staff. Thanks for a great time.
Some of the best noodles and dumplings I've had! nSpicy chili oil dumplings were !nCumin lamb noodles were !nPan fried lamb dumplings were !nThe pork sandwich thing looks like an Arepa was so-so!nFor some reason they held our orders back until they were all ready at once which means a couple things were not as hot and fresh as they should have been. Noticed they didn't do that with the Chinese customers. Maybe they think we need all our food at once or something. ‍nAnyhow, highly recommend this place.n.
