Chinese dinner for Thanksgiving [Langley, BC Canada]…read more The entire U.S. is pretty much closed for the Thanksgiving holiday so before crossing the border to return to WA we stopped for dinner at Langley (east of Surrey). We made it 40 mins approaching closing time with one other party of 3 diners inside. We browsed through the menu quickly and selected Beef Chow Fun (less bean sprouts) and Combo C (chow mein, honey garlic pork, almond chicken, Szechuan beef chop suey). The portions were huge and we could've shared the Beef Chow Fun and we would've been full. I really liked the chow fun, very flavorful with tender beef. The Combo C was just okay to me. Good customer service even when we were the last ones to leave the restaurant. Exchange Rate 11/28/24: $1 USD = $1.40 CAD Review #3605

It was supposed to be my final meal of this leg of my Vancouver food trip, and with so many…read morerestaurants to choose from, I decided to trust my gut and head to Dragon Wok. Faced with two locations, I picked the newer one for reasons I can't quite explain, and thus began an amazing journey. The spacious parking area was a great start, and as soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted by a bright, soothing, and clean environment. The Far East vibes were unmistakable, with signs all around confirming I was in a Chinese place. A polite girl greeted us and guided us through the extensive menu, helping us choose the best dishes and combinations. To give some context, Indo-Chinese food originated in Kolkata, Bengal, and evolved as it spread across India, with each region adding its own twist. My favorite is Bangladeshi Chinese, known for its aroma, toned textures, and balanced, soothing sauces and condiments. Although Indo-Chinese variations have diverged from their Bengali-Chinese roots, I was hoping to find something that would closely match my taste preferences. That's when a gentleman named Abrar approached us. To my delight, he was from Kolkata, the birthplace of Indo-Chinese cuisine. He took the time to understand our preferences, crafting recommendations that seemed tailored just for us. He went above and beyond, even deciding how to tweak their original dishes to match our taste buds. We decided to go all out with his suggested combinations. We started with the appetizer, the Spicy chili garlic wings, and they were incredible--thin, yet with the crispiest crust, perfectly balanced with the chili garlic sauce. They were well-marinated with no gaminess, and the juicy inner layer contrasted beautifully with the crunchy exterior. 5/5. The Masala Fish blew us away--it was unforgettable. It wasn't overly spicy; a hint of sweetness brought out the flavors, with a light, airy crunch giving way to melt-in-your-mouth fish. The Crispy Chili Beef was very special. It wasn't dry, with a perfect semi-crisp exterior and juicy interior. Each bite validated how beef should be cooked. The sauce was perfectly balanced, neither too salty nor too sour. The Ginger garlic chicken was stir-fried to perfection, super soft with a soothing gravy, and the perfect blend of oriental sauces. Everything was balanced just right. The vegetable Hakka chowmein were not too oily, and though the noodles were a bit thinner than usual, they complemented every entrée so well it felt like a match made in heaven. Finally, the dessert--Ice cream with fried banana--was an ingenious creation. The warm, crunchy banana paired perfectly with the cold ice cream, creating a delightful ending to the meal. The girl at the reception (sorry, I didn't ask her name) was incredibly cordial, checking in on us several times and even offering complimentary green tea. Abrar also checked in on us a couple of times, providing exceptional service. I noticed him being attentive to every customer, offering nothing short of the best service you can get in a restaurant. I know taste buds vary, and Indo-Chinese palates differ across the subcontinent, but as someone extremely picky about Indo-Chinese food, I feel I had my best Indo-Chinese experience in North America at Dragon Wok. You're in good hands with these experts from the birthplace of Indo-Chinese cuisine.

We got veg fried rice, Manchurian chicken, and shrimp chow mein and honestly those plates were wiped clean. It was enough for four starving people.

Portion sizes are big for the rice and noodles. Everything else was regular sized portions. If you're in the area, give this place a go.

It's a small, family-run restaurant with that classic mom-and-pop feel, and you can really taste the quality in everything. We ordered the salted pepper fish, almond chicken, chow mein, and fried rice, and every single dish was on point. The flavors were rich, fresh, and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend mentioned the portions used to be bigger back in the day, but honestly, the quality more than makes up for it. The food is still generous and definitely top tier. The service was also really warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they care. Definitely worth supporting local -- we'll be back!
