    Wonton in garlic and chili sauce
    Bonnie T.

    Came here because of a recommendation from my relatives and I was definitely not disappointed. My first time here was 2 years ago and I ordered wonton in garlic and chili sauce, beef hor fun(rice noodle) and another dish. The most memorable was the wonton! I came again last week (I'm not from Vancouver so this says a lot if I travel and end up at the same restaurant) ! Ordered strictly the wonton in garlic chili sauce and it was just as amazing! I feel like the ingredients have changed a lot but it's a different type of deliciousness! This is a must try in North Vancouver and it's a plus if you can speak Cantonese! The staff are super friendly.

    Combination Plate "G" $14.95 - Sweet and sour chicken balls with Szechuan beef and vegetables with chicken fried rice. Excellent!

    We decided to try this place for a lunch take out. Ordered pick up as there's no dine in due to COVID. Friendly staff and good service. Place is clean and safety measures in place. I ordered two combination plates "B" and "G". It was a bit pricy for lunch $30 but both plates had a lot of food and taste good. I think they use MSG in their food which is why I can't give them full 5 stars. I say this because MSG makes me feel sluggish after I have it. Not long after I ate it I felt that way. I would recommend this place and look forward to trying it again when we can dine in. I'll be sure to ask that no MSG is added. I also look forward to trying other dishes.

    The best wonton soup in town. Sweet and sour fish, Chinese brócoli with garlic sauce and chicken chow mein are delicious!!!

    Excellent restaurant, very cozy and very affordable. Great and friendly service and the food is extremely delicious!!! Highly recommend chicken chow mein, wonton soup, mushroom rice and the best is lamb with ginger and green onions. We have been there twice and also asked deliveries twice for two home parties with great success. Hardly can wait to go back.

    Okay so we couldn't decide where to eat tonight (date night) so we decide to go for drive and ended up on Lonsdale Ave. We parked the car and started walking and looking at menus posted on store front windows. After looking around a few blocks we decided on Chilli Lee's. We chose this place over the many others because of the display photos of food. It's a cozy size place. Seats about 20 people. We were there at 6:30pm so it's was busy with eat in, take out and deliveries!! (Free delivery btw) We ordered Spring Rolls, Hot & Sour Soup, Ginger Beef Fried Rice and Ma Po Tofu. The spring rolls arrived hot and crispy. The soup had good flavour but needed more red vinegar. We asked for the vinegar, they were out of red so gave us brown. It did the job. The Ma Po Tofu was perfectly seasoned The fried rice was cooked just right and wasn't mushy. Although tasty and authentic ... I am only giving 3 stars out of 5 because of two things. #1 the chef in the back yelled ... A LOT. And because I understood what he was yelling about it made eating hilarious yet unpleasant at the same time. IMO not professional. #2 They were busy, so our food order took a while to come. They should know Fridays nights can get busy and should schedule more staff for these times. Some take out customers we're getting antsy and kept questioning the waitress who in turn got after the chef who then started shouting profanities and pointing the finger back at the waitress ... hahaha good times ... good times.

    Chilli Lee is our go-to for Chinese delivery on the North Shore (we've never actually been to it's physical location). It is consistently good, quick to arrive, the delivery person is always super pleasant and they don't mind us substituting for other stuff on the combo plates. Score! We're not a fan of spicy stuff in this household, so we tend to go for the more milder of things... of which Chilli Lee has plenty! Some of our favorites are the Wonton Soup, Lettuce Wraps (chicken), Dry garlic pork, Gyoza, Spring rolls and Lemon Chicken. Yum! The reason I'm giving them four stars is because their rice/noodles could use a bit of work. They always seem... off... when compared to everything else. While they lack in seasoning and flavor, however, a few dollops of soy sauce does the trick to help get things back on track. All in all, it's a good place. When comparing it to all the other North Shore Chinese delivery places, it /easily/ wins out. Give it a try if you've got the chance!

    Chicken Balls with Sweet n Sour Sauce and A Side of Small Steamed Rice - $15-
    Aaron S.

    I had the chicken balls with a side of steamed rice. I thought it was good but kinda expensive. They were however fast in making it, done in 10mins. The chicken balls were about 7/10 with just a bit too much batter n grease. 10/10 on The steamed rice it was absolutely perfect, I could eat just that for dinner or order it on its own. I wanted a combination box but they don't offer enough vegetables Ps. The fortune cookies here are cheap, stale and gross. I've had the same brand before and I've also eaten at this place before and sat down. I had the chicken & broccoli and it was much better than this!!

    It's been ages since we dined in this restaurant. I used to come here quite often with my family,…read morebut over the years we stopped coming and of course the pandemic didn't help matters either. Sometime after life started to normalize again, we did place a take out order from here. This is the first time though in a very very very long time that I have actually dined in the restaurant. Ummm...I'm thinking it might almost be the last time I dine here. Might not even get take out from this restaurant either. No issues with the quality of the food. The food is still very good. But holy smokes...this place has gotten super expensive! I came here for a quick and simple meal with my mom. We'd had a super exhausting day. We needed something quick and simple so we could head back home and flop on our beds. We ordered just one dish to share, which was a Vegetable Fried Rice. Whoa...this one dish came to about $30 when all was said and done! It's one of the simplest dishes one could order in a Chinese restaurant and it came to $30. Could have chosen not to order it because of course I did see the price on the menu before ordering it, so...realized it was gonna cost a pretty penny. But as I said, we'd had a long day. We were way too tired to get up and look for anywhere else to eat. So we stomached the cost and now...I think I will not be coming back to this restaurant again. Do I recommend the food here? Sure. The food is good, and the portion of our Vegetable Fried Rice was generous. We had lots leftover to bring home. But...$30 for a plate of fried rice? That's ridiculous. This place is way overpriced now.

    Unfortunately this Westview is not the same Westview I know from years ago ... food quality and…read moreflavour has gone down hill ( Hot & Sour Soup was served lukewarm ) Siu Mai was tasteless and meat was dry!

We visited on July 1 2026 and put our name down around 7:30. There were lots of people outside and almost everyone in the restaurant was speaking Chinese so we figured that's a great sign. We politely asked if they knew approximately how long it will take and Sophia responded "don't know" and walked away. We waited outside for an hour and we were confused why other people who got there after us were being called before us. I went inside to check the clipboard with the waitlist and there are tablets on the board covering the names. Sophia is standing there and looks at the covered board and at me but doesn't say anything so I walk back outside to wait. A while later I decide to go in and ask her and she said that she called me. I said I didn't get a call. She says you have a US number the call didn't go through. Okay so why didn't you pop your head outside and call out my name? She says no worries we will get you seated. Then they continued to seat everyone but us. And then she asked would you like to sit outside or inside? Doesn't matter, we want to sit wherever it's ready first. But I look outside and every table is taken and no one is even close to being done eating. We finally got sat and we immediately order 3 items before she walks away. Another table who comes in after we got sat, is seated nearby us. We have already ordered, they just sat down. A while later, they get all their food. We were wondering if we were being treated like this on purpose. I ask a different server how long it'll be until we get our food and Sophia comes and says she *forgot our order* Excuse me how does that happen??? She apologizes and said we will get a discount and something will be free. After another long wait we get our food slowly as it comes out- a lamb noodle soup with chopped up noodles (my husband ordered that thinking it would be the lamb bao so that was not on the restaurant), lamb cumin noodles, and 2 cucumber dishes. We tried our best but only ate about half the food- it was not good. For some background my husband and I are both Chinese and we love eating food from different regions of China and have a pretty good idea of what is good and not good. The lamb cumin noodles tasted like they were watered down? Texture was ok, very thin and didn't have a good chew or bite to it and flavor was off. We've had a good amount of lamb cumin noodles and this was probably the worst. The lamb soup noodles were not that great either.. I only had a bite. Cucumber was fine- the chopped cucumber was in awkward shapes to be picked up with chopsticks, and the spiral cucumber was very boring tasting, both just had vinegar in them. We've easily made better at home in just a few minutes. We were hoping that after all the poor service at least the food would be great. Unfortunately the food was very one dimensional tasting and very disappointing. Funnily enough music stops playing as soon as we get our food. I'm sure it's to rush the customers out of the restaurant. We left a lot of uneaten food at the table (very rare for us) and we go to pay. At this point we've been there for over two hours and over 1.5 hours was just waiting for our food. Sophia rings us up and I ask about the discount/free item that she mentioned. There was a measly $4 discount (haha is this a joke) and one of the cucumber dishes was free. We did not ask for it. She did not take anything off our tab. I decide to give her some honest feedback- that she was rude and dismissive to us from the beginning, and that if no one picked up the call maybe she should check outside (her excuse is that sometimes people aren't waiting outside so she doesn't go outside to call names). Keep in mind I have never in my life given such harsh criticism to anyone in the service industry and I have never even gotten close to even thinking about scolding someone. She says well the phone call didn't work let me show you and at this point I say we've been here for so long we just want to go home so I told her to please be better and we walked out, excited to finally be freed of this place and hoping to never come back. She then chases after us and tells us that the payment didn't go through. We go back inside and she wants us to pay again but I tell my husband to check his bank account first. At that point, she confirmed that it had in fact gone through already. Like this whole situation has to be some hilariously sick joke how it somehow got worse and worse and even worse. I do not feel good about scolding someone (why do I have to tell a grown person to be better?) but I do think that she needed to hear an honest critique of her service so she can improve and I really hope she takes it to heart. Management- please review this and please make sure none of your future customers ever have an experience like this.

    First time here. Came to try the Dumplings and the Beef Noodle…read more The Dumplings were pretty good but not as impressive as my Chinese neighbour makes them but thats my bias. The Beef Noodle soup was ok but not as flavourful as Red Beef for example. It lacked a bit of kick. The meat was a little too soft for my taste but its very personal. I did see some other very interesting dishes so I will be back to try those and give a better verdict. Service was good and its a very big place despite what it looks like on the outside.

We ate what would normally be a $100-$125 US meal for under $80 US. It was awesome. We got so much food - it was ridiculous. We ate quite a bit and saved the rest for leftovers. The servers were super nice and sweet. Very family friendly. We found our new go-to spot in Vancouver, B.C. Also, if you give it a little time the parking isn't too bad. Dinasty also stays open a little later than most restaurants in town, making this a viable option when in a pinch for food but running late in the day. Will absolutely go back next time in town. Thanks for having us. Comparable to Dough Zone or Din Tai Fung, somewhere right in between with quality and cost. Everything was yummy.
