江南小灶 JiangNan Wok

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Jiangnan Wok. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and packed with authentic flavors. From the crispy roasted chicken to the savory rice dishes and perfectly seasoned greens, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The textures were spot on, crispy where it should be, tender and juicy where it matters. The flavors were rich but balanced, not overly greasy, and clearly made with care. Even the simple dishes felt thoughtfully crafted. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Honestly, everyone at our table left happy and impressed. This is definitely a place we’ll come back to again and again. Highly recommended!

Overall, this was a very enjoyable dining experience and a Chinese restaurant I would happily return to. In terms of service, one of the female servers was exceptionally warm and attentive. She was thoughtful throughout the meal, from taking orders to serving dishes, which made the experience feel comfortable and welcoming. In comparison, some of the male staff could improve in attentiveness and service details. With a bit more proactivity, the overall service experience would feel more complete. The food was the highlight of the meal. Every dish we tried was well prepared, and there were no real disappointments. I would especially recommend the chicken dishes. The chicken, whether served as an appetizer or a main, was handled very well. It was tender, juicy, and completely free of any unpleasant odor. The seasoning was well balanced and not overly salty, making it very enjoyable to eat. The vegetable rice was fragrant and nicely stir fried, with each grain distinct and full of flavor. The braised pork was another standout. It was rich, well braised, and flavorful without being greasy, and again very clean tasting with no off flavors. Overall, the quality of the food, the consistency of the dishes, and the attentive service from part of the staff made this a memorable meal. It is definitely a place I would consider revisiting and recommending to friends.

This is a small Chinese restaurant. Food is very tasty. The best one is eel with the rice in claypot. It’s hard to find good claypot in Vancouver. This one is very good. Rice is mixed with vegetables and hs crispy bottom of the claypot. The beef cube is very delicious with good stir fry wok. Roasted chicken is a cold dish and has some Smokey flavor. Overall good.

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.

When we visited, they were very busy, but the server was really friendly. The food we ordered was delicious. My friend and I really enjoyed everything. Can’t wait to get back try more dishes :)

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.
