Dropped in the lunch rush and the place was busy but had adequate seating. Typical decor for a Chinese/cantonese place. Food was tasty and honest. Service was standard. I would go back when I'm in the area. read more

My friend said this was her favourite dimsum spot so when I said I was craving dimsum she suggested we try this spot out. It turns out it used to be Hons before they changed names but likely retained the same staff. A couple parking spots behind the building, otherwise pay parking on the street. Between the 3 of us we ordered 7 dishes - deep fried bbq bun, shrimp dumpling, pork shu mai, deep fried squid, pan fried soy sauce rice rolls, mini chinese sausage buns, and deep fried salted dumplings with pork filling. I was hoping to order my favourite wu gok (deep fried taro puff) but they don't offer it here. The deep fried bbq bun was definitely unique as I have never seen it anywhere else. The mini chinese sausage buns were dry on the outside and I felt it was missing some kind of sauce to make it more cohesive. Han Lin was quite busy from opening (we arrived at 11am) until we left around 12:30pm - filled with mostly caucasian customers who were greeted like regulars. This spot was clearly popular with the locals! I wonder if some of their dishes were created with their taste buds in mind - ie. the deep fried bbq bun. I was a bit thirsty for the rest of the afternoon, not sure if it's indicative of MSG. Overall, I think this spot is just ok but if I'm craving dimsum I'll look elsewhere for more authentic options. They are missing the usual Cantonese dimsums like rice rolls, wu gok, tofu skin rolls etc. However, I'd definitely say that prices are very reasonable and it came to about $25 per person for us. read more

Haven't been here in a while. Was craving that 'wok hei' flavour. Was very busy due to Last Door event but service was friendly and quick. Restaurant was packed and a little loud because of that but expected that. Never a disappointment. read more

Came in around 11:30am on a Sunday and the seated part of restaurant was pretty empty. As it came to noon, it got busier. We had a large group but only long tables , no round tables with the lazy susan in the middle. This made it a little hard to share dishes but it was manageable. The food was really fresh, hot and came quite quickly. Got your usual staples of dumplings , chicken feet, spare ribs, spring rolls, deep fried stuff. One of the most unique deep fried item was the deep fried BBQ pork bun. This was so delicious ! My favorite dish. Perfectly crispy crust on the outside and softer bun in the middle and it was a slightly sweet taste. They were able to split the bill too. They were really good with the tea refilling throughout the meal. At the back of the restaurant, it looks like a Chinatown bbq/ take out shop that you can take out some dishes too. At a quick glance at the other menus available, they also have large group set dinner combos. My partner has come here multiple times before and have always enjoyed his meals here. Would recommend coming back to try other things! read more

This place is a staple for my family! We have been going for probably over a decade when it was known as Hon's. Most of the staff has been there for just as long which is always a good sign they are treated well. Service is always fast and friendly. They have all of the traditional dim sum dishes which don't disappoint. They truly are home style/ comfort dim sum. We have gotten dinner from here once or twice which is still good but the dim sum always draws us back in. read more

Always a pleasure here and after the name change and switchover it's still same people for 20+ yrs ago and the taste is same as Hon's but different name. Prices are decent and service is always crazy but good. Will be back for more. We drive from white rock now to get our wonton and beef chow fun fix! read more

Han Lin Noodle House - Personal combo with $11 addition spicy fish and broccoli with Dim sum side of bok choy, side of beef brisket curry sauce - Chinese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

I feel like this is the same management as Hon's but the name just changed to Han Lin. I came here for lunch with a friend and we both got the same lunch special. We got shrimp wonton noodles in soup with potstickers (6). The price came to $14.25 before tax and tip. This is considered a very good price given the price of food these days. The food was super delicious. The gyoza tasted just like Hons. The decor was same as the old Hons. Parking is available in the area for free. I will definitely come back for sure. read more

We finally tried Han Lin Noodle House (formerly Hon's Wun-Tun House) after hearing so much buzz, and let me tell you - it did not disappoint!

I have been coming to Han Lin Chinese restaurant for over 20 years back when it was Hons. Its a super busy place with lots of movement. Wish it was bigger. Food is typical Cantonese with dash of Mando here and there. Has never disappointed although they sometimes use a bit more onion in some dishes than whats I'd prefer. Service is good. Used to always order the BBQ pork and Tofu on Rice. Good for what it is. Prices are creeping up of course. read more

Had a yummy lunch with house special chow mein, yeung chow fried rice and beef gailan. Each was freshly made and perfectly seasoned. Only complaint was that the peas in the fried rice were a bit undercooked. Reasonable prices, quick and good location. Recommended for old school Chinese comfort food. read more

Hon to Han... This used to be Hon's wonton now changed to Han Lin noodle House. Besides the name changed I don't noticed any other differences; same staffs, same menu, same people in charge. I remember going to their first location in Chinatown when I was a kid and they eventually popped up in every major city and their frozen potstickers are being sold in a lot of supermarkets. Fast forward to nowadays, quite a lot of the locations are closed down and this iconic location just merely changed its name. Ordered a classic quick bite while passing by; 1. Wonton soup. Very traditional and classic wonton soup, straight to the point nothing fancy just the way a good traditional wonton soup should be. 2. Singapore vermicelli. One of my favourite noodle dish. Nicely done, the vermicelli were nicely wok'ed and fused together with all the ingredients nicely. And it wasn't soggy like a lot of places make them. Great little place for some classic Chinese restaurant food. There really isn't anything fancy about this place, very casual simple layout but it's classic without all the bs. The staffs are always friendly, attentive and nice. And this is very hard to come by especially when most of them are aunties (most aunties I encountered at Chinese restaurants are like stone cold Medusas. But not here, I am sure most of you know what I am talking about). The menu is pretty extensive and the food is decent with a fair price tag especially their all day specials. Always a repeat for me to enjoy some classic style Chinese food. read more

Hon's has been an icon in Vancouver for as long as I can remember! When I came to visit Vancouver as a student in 1979, I remember taking a bus from Coquitlam to Chinatown to have wonton noodles and that was Hon's!! This location in New West is also an icon itself as it has been in the same spot for many many years! My recent re-visit has been a trip down memory lane! Food and service is typical Hon's .. honest home style cooking and friendly & fast service! Recently, they have changed their business name to Han Lin Noodle House, but I can tell you, once you go inside and sat down, you will still be at Hon's ... from their hot tea to their fortune cookie everything stays the same ( in a good way! )! read more

Without question, this is the most reliable, affordable, and friendly HK style Chinese restaurant in Metro Vancouver. Been coming here for years and it remains a steady favourite for my family and anyone we recommend or bring to try out. Food is always fresh, hot and generous.

We were in uptown New Westminster yesterday for some morning medical appointments. When the latter completed, it was off to 'Han Lin' for lunch, just a few blocks away. We arrived at the restaurant about 11:20am, and were able to find off-the-street parking out back. We (Mom, daughter, and I) were warmly greeted by staff upon entering, escorted to a cozy corner table (room for four), provided with menus, and then tall glasses of hot tea. Time to check out the menus - there were two - lunch/specialties (which included the dim sum offerings), and the larger regular house menu. The restaurant, which opens at 11am - was already half-full of dining customers when we arrived, and before noon, had potential customers waiting inside the doorway for tables to become available. Though a little surprised to see it this busy, especially so all at once, the activity of the staff, and chatter of the diners, was like "music to our ears", and brought back memories of some especially fond restaurants we enjoyed a few years ago. Service throughout our stay was so friendly and cordial. Servers to our table had never seen us before, and we them, but based on the contacts made, it was if we dined there on a regular basis. For us, this provided such a nice feeling to a first time dining experience. Food ordered: - dim sum -- deep fried squid - steamed chicken feet - pan fried rice roll in soy sauce. - lunch specials -- chow mein with beef in black bean sauce w/dry noodles - fried rice noodle with chicken slices & bean sprout. Food presentations and preparations: - though busy, sequencing of dishes from kitchen to table was perfectly fine - dishes arrived piping hot, and looking good. - dim sum dishes were as well-prepared as hoped - squid lightly battered, tender & flavourful - chicken feet 'melt-in-your-mouth' tasty - rice rolls soft & flavourful. - lunch specials - large bowls, filled with nice selections of what looked, and tasted like quality ingredients in each - flavourful & tasty. We were glad to have pre-picked 'Han Lin' as our lunch venue. Its small size, local/friendly ambiance, service, and well-prepared food sure worked for us. read more

Not impressed w/the food at all. Chicken Chow Mein the noodles tasted stale and old, the sweet & sour pork was dry, tough & mostly inedible, it was a tiny portion and barely any sauce. We had 1 portion of Wonton soup and it was horrible. First off it was in a fish broth (I hate fish) they should warn people of that for allergies and the Wonton filling was gross, it was filled w/dry rubbery left over shrimps. Disgusting....the only saving grace was the beef chop suey. But in no way was that dinner anywhere near worth the $75+ we paid for it. Never will be back read more

Hons has been a big part of the chinese community in the Greater Vancouver area for decades. While the full locations have dwindled, some smaller locations have popped up as franchises. Serving up the classics like wonton noodle soup and potstickers, the New West location always comes with smiles and great service. During the pandemic, we haven't had as many opportunities to visit them but some delivery allows us to enjoy our favourites at home. Some things you just can't replicate at home without a super hot wok. So today, I gave into my cravings for rice noodle with beef slices and bean sprouts. I also ordered the deep fried pork chops with spicy rock salt. I highly recommend both and be sure to try their chili oil. We buy jars of it and always ensure we have it on hand. If you're looking for reasonably priced chinese food in New West that is authentically Canadian Chinese food, this is the spot. read more

Eat here at least once a week and no matter what you order, the dishes are usually fantastic.

We stumbled into Han Lin because we wanted to try it since the new ownership. Used to be okay as Hons. Now much better as Han Lin! Friendly staff welcoming us from across the room as we entered the door and had us set up with tea and menus instantly. Huge dim sum and lunch menu, and all the classics for dinner fare. The food came fast, in huge portions, and was delicious and reasonably priced. Good mixed crowd made for a lively ambiance. A great find for any sized group. read more

For what it is, I think Han Lin (aka formerly known as Hon's) is the best around for price and taste. This is my favorite place for westernized Cantonese Chinese food. When compared to other places, they definitely have the best prices and the taste has basically remained unchanged. It's no wonder the place is always packed, even right when it opens. The food is quick and tasty - we're not talking gourmet, but your basic, comfort Chinese food. I got their Chow Mein with Beef in Black Bean Sauce and it was generous and tasty. However, I have to say the highlight was getting the large, take home container of their famous Potsticker Vinegar. I saw it in the fridge right next to the takeout counter and was psyched. It's my favorite dipping sauce for potstickers and Han Lin is the only place that has it (as it's their signature sauce). One other thing - if you're doing takeout, you just go to the side door by the parking lot and don't need to enter the main entrance. It makes everything quick and easy. read more

First night in Vancouver BC for a short spring break and I'm craving for Cantonese food. Hubby searched and recommended this place and I said let's give it a try. My recommendation will be to order the sweet and sour pork! Filipinos out there, you'd recognize the taste! I love it! Veggies go for garlic string beans. You'd never go wrong. Pork siomai was good too. we arrived 30mins before closing so I guess everyone is tired but these 3 orders made our night. I was expecting more from the beef Ho fun. Other than that, place is ok, clean and there is parking at the side/street. I'm full!!! read more

Han Lin noodle house is a Chinese restaurant in new west. It's fairly cheap eats because the portion size is so big for the dish! Great for sharing and will definitely have left overs! They have the traditional and classic Chinese comfort food and they even offer dim sum foods, even after 4pm they still have dim sum for a slight price increase (like 75 cents extra or something like that). We got yang chow fried rice, the pan fried noodles which I wasn't expecting to be so big and sweet and sour pork chops they were okay, not as fried as I liked but they include lots of veggies with it. Their dish is very wide and they fill it up! The food is great and very authentic! read more

Things don't get any more old school than Hon's. There's a good reason why they've been in business over 30 years... if you're looking for Chinese comfort food, they have things nailed down pat. Over the years, they've opened and closed various locations but the thing that they haven't changed is how tasty their gyoza are. I had a hankering for gyoza for a while so I headed over to their New West location on 6th Street in mid-June and ordered their Lunch Set ($9.45) which includes an order of shrimp and pork wun tun as well as 6 pieces of your choice of pot stickers (I opted for pork). You can customize your noodles and I went with the wide egg noodles. The wun tun noodle soup was pretty much what you expect... nothing out of the ordinary here. What I did really enjoy here were the pot stickers. They had the perfect amount of charring on one side of the pot sticker which gave it a nice crispy edging. These are really classic. Looking to skip the carbs one day, I decided to double-down on some BBQ items and ordered the BBQ Meat Platter ($12.95 for 2 types). I opted for the BBQ Pork and BBQ Duck. This dish is exactly as it sounds... just plain bbq meat (you can add rice on the side). To be honest, this was quite basic and not really on par with places that specialize in BBQ meats. The pork was on the tougher side but the duck was a bit better. Probably better off going to a local Chinese butchery instead. If you're looking for some old school Asian comfort food, Hon's delivers. read more

I never write reviews, but the food was so repulsive that I had to write a review as a warning and public service announcement. I posted 1 star because there is no negative star option. Went in after work and ordered some takeout as my go to Chinese food place was a bit far that night. I've eaten at all the Hon's locations since I was kid starting with their original location in Chinatown. Food in the past has been generally ok and fairly consistent in terms of taste and quality. The restaurant was ok in the past. Now it's plain garbage. All the food looked old and looked like it was re-cooked to try and salvage some of their costs instead of throwing it in the garbage where it belongs. They think customers are stupid and try to pass off this cattle feed as freshly cooked Chinese food. All the food looked days old and looked to be re-cooked or refried. Food color and spices were were faded and food was was either extremely soft or hard indicating the food was old and/or overcooked. Note the spicy tofu was served with no lid on its takeout container. Just a paper towel on top of the aluminum tray. How low buck can you get. Me and my wife ate a few bites and threw the rest into its rightful place which was the garbage. A good way to flush $55 away quickly. Before you order what is considered food from this place, you have to ask yourself this: If I wouldn't serve this to my dog why would I eat it? Don't say that you weren't warned. read more

Yuck not good food for the price. Too expensive. What happened to cheap Chinese food.

Second time is charming I really didn't know what happened in the first time I came. I guess I was hangry Second time, I was cautious. I ordered special chow mein on crispy noodle ( always). It was good (I had much better but I'm not complaining). Love the noodles and the sauce. I wish they add scallops and calamari too but I can stay for now I ordered the pork potstickers ( their specialty). It's was good too but not special. Still ordinary... you can buy potstickers in Costco and you can pan fried , just saying ‍ I had a bowl of noodle with barbecue pork slices and wanton. It was goooood love the broth check it out if you go there I will come back to eat different food features like congee, beef curry , etc read more

I'm glad my date introduced me to this place cuz literally, such a good Chinese restaurant! We got delivery and it was free and fast because he lives within the vicinity. Steamed custard buns were creamy! Probably, one of the best places for it. We also got seafood Cantonese chowmein and stir fried veggies with mushrooms. This place doesn't skimp out on the food as there were multiple, thick pieces of shrimps, fish, mushrooms, etc - you get the point. If they opened a restaurant in Vancouver I would definitely eat here again! read more

A typical Cantonese restaurant which serves hearty and comforting dishes. Lunch special prices are great (under $8) and personal combos are also value for money. I had the wonton noodle soup with dumplings and they were delicious. I forgot how good simple wonton noodle can be. The bowl looked tiny but it was filling. The century egg and pork congee was also good. The fried dough sticks could be better, they were too thick and doughy. I would prefer it being crispy and light. It is usually very busy during lunch time so you may need to wait if you have a big group. I would be back again to try the other dishes. read more

Hon's is one of those reliable restaurants that serves good Canadian Chinese food at a good price. Nothing flashy just warm, friendly and delicious. We were feeling super cold and wanted meet our family for a early Sunday dinner. We didn't want to drive all the way to Richmond so we decided on Hon's. There are always the favs that we order whenever we eat out for Chinese. The Singapore vermicelli, Salt and pepper squid, and of course the wonton! My absolute favourite is the Spicey eggplant with black bean and plain white rice to sop up that yummy sauce. We rolled out of there fully satiated with leftovers! Hon's has frozen wonton for take out too. Totally a must!!! read more

Always loved this place. It's economical, fast and delicious. Until today. We ordered deep fry ginger beef with few other plates. Everything were great as expected until our finger beef came to our table. The outside were cold while the middle was warm. We took a bite and felt like we bit into frozen meat. When we informed the waitress our finding, she said she would tell kitchen staff to make new one. As she handed the cold dish to the manager, I watched him take that dish, walked into the kitchen and stuffed it in the microwave. When waitress came back with out original dish - now microwaved, beef is now soggy and slimy. I told the waitress I saw what manager did and if I wanted microwaved food, I would have stayed home. They eventually made a brand new dish. All this could have been avoided if they didn't try to pull a wool over my eyes. This place is now on my 'to avoid' list. read more
