江南小灶 JiangNan Wok

Overall, the food was very good, and you can really taste the wok hei from the high-heat stir-fry. I’d recommend coming here and giving it a try.

We came here for the first time and ordered 6 dishes. The greeter was friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. However, we were very disappointed that we were not told about the extra charges for packaging until the bill came. Take-out boxes cost $0.50 each (before tax) and a bag cost $0.80 (before tax) On top of that, we even paid a 15% tip, which made the surprise charges feel even more unreasonable. It would be much better if these fees were clearly communicated upfront so customers know what to expect.

The food, while decent, was a bit underwhelming. I was particularly excited to try the 東坡肉, which I was told would melt in my mouth, but I found it to be somewhat disappointing. The other dishes were fine, though not particularly memorable—neither bad nor outstanding. That said, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was bright and welcoming, which definitely contributed to an enjoyable dining experience. While the food didn’t quite meet my expectations, the service and ambiance made for a nice outing.

Great Jiangnan style food (from eastern provinces of China). Their fresh water eel in hot stone pot is SO GOOD. I can’t stop keeping coming back to this place, despite hundreds other Chinese cuisine options here in Richmond.

This place has changed to a Jiangsu-style restaurant, which has lighter flavors — much more to my taste. The space is bright and welcoming, but it’s best to book a table in advance. The salted duck and eel dishes were both really good

Food was pretty good, above average for sure Service was good too, they bring out food pretty fast Decor was ok, simple nothing too fancy, fit the market they are going for

Chefs never let me down. Love this place. My wife is European. She likes squirrel fish so much haha.

Feel like the exactly same restaurant just like the one before, even though the name has been changed now. Same cuisine, same interior, same food presentation, same service. Anyway, I really dislike their chair, looks comfortable but uncomfortable to sit on. Floor is so greasy, you feel like doing some ice skating when walking. Food is excellent and service is attentive and friendly. It’s a really busy restaurant. Only drawback is it’s a bit pricey, everything else is great. Was surprised to see a dog inside the restaurant. Never seen a dog on owner’s lap inside a restaurant in Vancouver before, this restaurant must be pet friendly, but not sure how long this policy could last lol.
