First Choice Chinese Food - Burnaby

This restaurant is now permanently closed. The owners are renovating the space and transforming it into a Thai restaurant. Current as of July 14, 2019.

I found this takeout spot to be quite decent. After driving around the area several times, I never considered ordering from here until last week when the rain prompted me to give it a try. I ordered the special foo yong and the sweet and sour deep-fried prawns, both of which turned out to be quite good. I noticed that the prices are similar to other Chinese restaurants in Burnaby, meaning they're not exactly cheap. However, the dishes are freshly prepared, and they accommodate substitutions (I requested no beef and no bell peppers in the foo yong). Additionally, there's a 10% discount if you pick up your order in person. **Verdict:** - **Food:** 7/10 (freshly prepared) - **Service:** 8/10 (the ability to make substitutions at no extra cost is a plus) - **Price:** 6/10 (not the cheapest, but not overly expensive either) - **Overall:** 21/30 (pretty good, might try other dishes next time)

I've been ordering take-out from this restaurant for over a year, and they've never let me down! The food is consistently fresh, and the portion sizes are generous. The prices are also very reasonable! I highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken balls with pineapple, the dry garlic boneless pork, and the special foo yong. If you're looking for affordable, high-quality Chinese food, this is definitely the place to visit!

Cheap Tasty. I have tried many of the Chinese restaurant nearby my place and this is one the greatest chinese food that I will return! Have been here for many times and their food is always fresh and big portions. They open late and they do delivery! It's perfect for lazy people just like me: . I just ordered delivery last week, the guy said they have new menu and some promotion. So I got a free 2 litres coke by just ordering food. Sweet!!!

NICE!. Been here a number of times for take-out. Prices were very reasonable. Large portions. Good service.
