Came for a grad party with 10 people. It was my second time coming here and the family's favourite Chinese place. The service was great and spot on with how much we ordered. The waitress was very attentive. I eat Chinese food a lot and I don't think the taste of these dishes are entirely authentic. Out of all the food eaten, the chicken corn soup was the most. I think if you come in with that expectation, you would find the food to be decent. By all means, it's certainly not bad but I found the fried chicken, rice, and noodles to be particular lacking in flavour. It's less so when paired with other salty dishes but they should be able to stand on their own. The sweet and sour pork and chicken retained a nice crunch and it was good. I wouldn't willingly go if it was up to me and overall, the food was okay but they're great at serving large parties and apparently have been around for a while. read more

Flourishing Chinese Seafood Restaurant - Chicken corn soup, beef and broccoli, noodles, fried rice, egg foo young, sweet and sour pork and chicken - Seafood Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

This is a good size place and the service is fast and friendly. The food is "good" and fresh and like most, the menu is big. Not much for ambiance as it's just cold tables and very basic. My Diet Coke was horrible, flat with little to no ice. Lol All and all I liked this place and would come back. read more

Flourishing Chinese Seafood Restaurant - #1 combo I believe. - Seafood Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

Not good. Sweet and sour pork was tough and dry and stringy. Chop suey wasn't good either beef was horrible tasting and tough as leather. The sauce was not very nice. The chow mien was no hell either. Boiled your own noodle might just as good if not better.To expensive to get served this garbage. I won't be back for a long long time! read more

Food was great. All items hot and no msgs. Parking was a little struggle but it worked out. They charge 0.50$ for a take out container but I was happy to pay as there was enough left over for another meal. They have dim sum. Web site states dim sum only on Sunday but they have it everyday they are open. Looking forward to trying it out one day. read more

Really good food and excellent service. Everything was tasty and perfectly cooked. Definitely a place to go for Chinese food in Langley

The food was surprisingly good with generous portions and fresh ingredients. I love the fact that they put plenty of veggies in the combination seafood hot pot. The service is quite attentive in the nicely lit restaurant. I would come again. read more

See all

We ate here on our first 2 nights in Langley and Flourishing Restaurant did not disappoint. All tables were taken, and there was a wait on a Thursday evening! Our best picks are their Fish Maw Soup with Chicken, Dry Garlic Spareribs, Beef and Broccoli, Honey Walnut Prawns. Friendly atmosphere and staff is very upbeat. read more

One of the few Chinese food restaurant with truly great food and amazing service, our hostess,Amie, was exceptional.

A good local place in Langley for Chinese take out or dine in. Free delivery if your order is over $25. This is our go to restaurant for take out whenever we are in the mood for Chinese. They have Cantonese & Szechuan style including hot pot items. There are an assortment of combo items for larger family dinners. read more

Ordered a combo plate and the sweet and sour sauce for the chicken balls was all over everything. Completely ruined the dish. When the sweet and sour chicken balls are ordered as a main dish they come with the sauce on the side. I would at least expect them to ask how you would like the sauce. I called to ask if this is typical and express my frustration with this dish and the 'boss' did not care one bit. Told me to order it that way next time and it would be an additional $1 charge. She also seemed to think this was funny and had zero concern. Extremely disappointing, usually flourishing is the place I go for Chinese food. However, with the recent steep decrease in food quality and the lack of customer service I don't think I'll be going back again. Very unfortunate. read more

Flourishing Chinese Seafood Restaurant - two plates of food - Seafood Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

I've been coming to Flourishing for as long as I can remember. My parents have ordered from here since I was a child, and now it is one of my favourite places as an adult. Although we usually order out, the food has always been delicious. Having lived in Vancouver for years and tried numerous Chinese places, the only place that I crave food from continually is Flourishing's Restaurant. I love supporting local businesses and when they continually serve amazingly tasty dishes, the choice is easy for where to eat. My personal faves are their wonton soup, beef & broccoli with black-bean sauce, beef lettuce wraps, almond chicken, and chicken chow mein. YUMMM read more

Extra star for the decor, by no stretch of the imagination is a new style or like Kirin, but a total throwback to the 80s, but new & clean; my first thought was "Rush Hour must've been filmed here!" lol. A good-size resto with lots of bustlin, I actually found it more authentic than from the outside. It's carpeted, lots of red & gold decor...you'll see a lot of their local awards for best langley chinese, etc. so it's got to mean something. Ordered my favourite, honey garlic spareribs which pretty reasonable, esp. compared to the seafood dishes, which not surprisingly were hovering near the $13---this is Langley lol. Lots of honey sauce, deep fried just right. Friendly staff, who also spoke fluent English. Free, angled-in parking at the front, a bit unusual for Vancouverites. Definite repeat next time i'm in town. read more

Merry Christmas to all the staff at this crazy awesome restaurant Ordered in tonight (Christmas Eve) and was really impressed by the food we ate tonight. So thank you to everyone at the Flourishing Garden!!! Will definitely be ordering in again in the new year!! Cheers and all the best in 2017 read more

I've only ever really had take out until a couple months ago and it was meh - pretty good food but like all take out gets soggy from the steam in the containers. However with free delivery - my lazy butt said yes please. The reason I order from here is because my mum is obsessed. She has been going to lunches here with her colleagues since 1998! I never understood until I ate in. Crispy and juicy almond chicken. Pork fried rice was moist and delicious. Chicken chowmein. And he egg rolls!!! Sweet and sour pork is crispy. They have Chinese tea. Last time I ordered green tea and it was different then I normally got - I think normal is a red tea? - I liked this much better. The owner lady (I think) is so kind and always remembers my mum and I. The waiter and waitresses seem young (I'm 24 and they seem younger than me) but they are kind. read more

First time I have ordered take out from this restaurant, not disappointed at all. Food was excellent, that's really all I need to say about that. Staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful. Will order again. read more

I do not frequent Langley much so perhaps I should not be "comping" this to Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. I will though because what else should I compare it to? They are lucky I was hungry which made the food taste better. Plus, I was in good company. However, talk about being so incredibly thirsty afterwards. The portions are generous What to order: Ma po tofu: this dish was enjoyable! The tofu was silky smooth. Forgettable: Dry garlic boneless pork: flavor was there but I didn't like the fact it was battered and had way too much fat. Did we order Dry garlic fat? I wasn't sure. Cantonese chow mein: loved the crispy noodles but could have had more shrimp, bbq pork and chicken on top! Lo bak gao (carrot cake): meh, Vancouver dim sum kicked this carrot cake's butt. Would I come here again? If I ended up in Langley, starving with only $10 in my pocket. read more

We have been eating at Flourishing for years and regularly get take out/delivery from their restaurant as well. I am really surprised at the negative reviews, our last delivery was excellent - quick, food was hot and fresh and everything was as ordered. We tend to stick to the same 5-6 dishes each time and they have never let us down. read more

Looks like nothing has changed since my 1st review a few years ago... Unfortunately a friend grabbed takeout to share with us for dinner today... Wow.. this has somehow gotten worse !!! Cold mush vegetables in some FLAVOR LESS sauce... really greasy Sweet and Sour Pork and the sauce was "CLUMPY" and jello like... Chow mein was cold and slimy with next to no taste nor chicken or vegetables. Looks like our Friend will never eat there as this was his first try since moving to Langley..... Not sure how they stay in business.... read more

I used to love this restaurant but the past 3 times I have had really terrible food, the first time everything was really greasy and bland the second time same thing and this time (it's been months since I was last there so thought I would give it a try) we ordered take out we drove to pick it up we live about 15-20 minutes away we get home order was wrong had to go back and pick up missing items. I found plastic pieces in my won ton soup, the fish was really mushy and old tasting the broccoli was hard as a rock. My Cantonese "crispy" noodles were complete mush. To top it all off the fortune cookies were completely stale and my fortune along with 1 other persons were in Spanish.... Very sad as I used to absolutely love this place :( read more

This place is so unfriendly to wheelchairs. I will never return. The food may be good but no room to get in when in a chair. Never again.

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in Langley. Fresh food, not greasy, good portions and good variety. The decor is a bit dated and it doesn't look to appealing from the outside, but a good choice if taste is most impotant. Love the Almond Guy Ding. Lunch menu choices are great. read more

Best Chinese food in Langley. Family run business that always try's there best for service, even when every table is full and a lineup out the door. Dry Garlic boneless pork is amazing read more

Called trying to find a new Chinese restaurant for the family, they answered the phone with a 'yeah?!' ... Strike one... Started ordering and was told to hold off because the prices I see on the website aren't the prices anymore... Strike two, how about you take that up with the guy that updates your website before you win customers over with your prices that aren't even real. I don't even have a strike three but moved on to another restaurant down the street. We won't be trying again. Update your website dumb dumbs. read more

I like the bbq duck and went there with my man. I also ordered combo A and tea . he went with combo B with the onion pancake. food was good but the service can be more effective and helpful for restaurant image if, servers (not all) used phones in the back. Also one server was good enough to check up on us at least once, however many restaurants are competitive, and will encourage their waitresses/ servers to be on the ball more. My score 4 out of 5 is more so for the food, the portion size, my impression with the duck was good. I will come back here for sure, I liked the friendliness of 2 of the servers today. read more

As Chinese restaurant, it is terrible. The dish I ordered is totally different from the traditional Chinese dish. When I saw the dish, I was really surprised and asked if they delivered the wrong person. Won't go there again. read more

Flourishing Chinese Seafood Restaurant - a plate of food - Seafood Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

Really pretty awful-dry garlic pork was battered and greasy, everything greasy bland and overpriced. Star lake Chinese is much better but unfortunately closed today. Don't waste your money as Flourishing obviously are not reading or caring about their poor reviews. Good reviews must be from people who've never had good Chinese. read more

I ordered "Gung Bo chicken" as it was listed as spicy ( hot ) . It was not. Kinda bland actually. Proportionally very little chicken, mostly vegetables and nuts, very disappointing. I also ordered honey and garlic chicken wings. Mostly sweet, no garlic taste! the order consisted of about 10 pieces of chicken legs, with 1 as leg portion, the rest not. Not understanding given that each complete wing consists of both parts. I would think the portions should be close to 50 / 50. All in all not impressive for the high price charged. A dish advertised as chicken should have a good portion of same. I'll not eat here again. read more

The food, service was good so was the cost however my wife is handicapped and the washrooms are impossible for her to use we unfortunately will not be back until they upgrade the washrooms. read more

Yesterday! I dropped in this restaurant. not same as before. Food material is not fresh. I ordered crab dish with better and cream source. There is no muscle within crab shell. read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant in langley. All the classics, great portion sizes. Really ideal for lunch as you get a good sized meal at a good price. Beef and broccoli is my fav! Their sweet and sour pork is great too. Place needs a Reno, don't go if you're looking for a nice looking place for a date. Pay with cash and take-out gets you a discount. read more

This was just ok. Have had better, have had worse. Nothing really special. We had take out. The woman at counter was friendly. Won't go again. read more

I've ordered from Flourishing over the last couple of years. I've found their take out to be better than some of the other local establishments. Delivery times can be on the longer side at an hour to an hour and a half. Food usually arrives hot. I'm a fan of their egg rolls. read more

Family of four desired decent Chinese as "Lux" is now hit and miss, and we know what to expect from "Golden Panda". Well open up your paws GP, cause this place was crap. Ordered the meal for three, as portions are usually good for four. Son was wondering about wonton, so we added on deep fried appetizer. What came looked like elephant ears and tasted as if they might have had a box of Kleenex too near the deep fryer. Onto the egg rolls, which tasted like any other. One if us burned the roof if his mouth, but mine was barely warm...bad microwave placement? The meal: chicken chow mein...I had asked if it was crispy noodle and told that it was. It came that way and the bill charged an extra four dollars for the privilege. They were OK abeit a bit greasy. The sweet and sour pork was fatty and the sauce was not good, neither sweet nor sour. The only good part was the piece of pineapple my adventurous husband dared to invest afterwards. The fried rice was decent. Our server seemed surprised that we refused her offer to pack up our substantial leftovers. The price of fiftyish dollars was not unexpected. I left no tip and won't be back. Got home in time for the bathroom, thank God. read more

We have been eating in and ordering delivery from Flourishing for many years. We have 2 staples that we order - Breaded Almond Chicken and Crispy House Special Chow Mein (Cantonese Style)...So when we ate at the restaurant today, we assumed that we would get what we ordered - why would it be different? We get all our food with the exception of the chow mein and it was all very good. Then the chow mein comes and it's not what we've always ordered. We tell the waitress and she says we meant to order the Flourishing Chow Mein. She asks us if we want her to take the chow mein back and exchange it for the correct one - why would you even ask; of course we do! We wait several minutes; by this time, we really don't need the chow mein anymore as we usually eat it along with the rest of our food. The waitress returns with the "correct" chow mein and from a distance, it looks right. After she drops it off and leaves, we take a closer look...it's the same dish she originally brought but with a few extra toppings to make it look different. We keep it but do not even eat a quarter of the dish. We ask for the bill and she asks if we want to take it to-go. We say no and explain that it was still not the dish we wanted. She explains that there are a few chow meins that get confused with one another and apologizes. When we get to the front desk to pay, we ask the employee if they changed their chow mein and, speaking so loud that the whole restaurant can hear, she explains the different chow meins they have available. Our inquiry had turned into a spectacle. The experience was quite ridiculous. Very sad, but we will not be returning to this restaurant! read more
