Huang Pu River - Winnipeg

Here is a Chinese restaurant where Chinese Canadian people go - the food is quite appealing. We had good service, even though the place was quite busy. The dishes seemed more authentic than regular Chinese Canadian cuisine, which is tasty but predictable. The dishes came quickly and were piping hot. We had a absolutely delicious eggplant stuffed with pork - the eggplant was tender and moist. Another dish featured cloud ear mushrooms along with a whole lot of other types that I didn't recognize but were very tasty. There was a deep fried shrimp dish with walnuts that was to die for - and I don't even like shrimp normally! The portions are quite large. We ended up taking quite a bit home. I would go again, but I would not take anyone with me who wasn't a bit of an adventurous eater, although the child in our group did get fried rice that seemed very typical. The restaurant is in a strip mall behind the A & W on Pembina Highway right before the overpass over Bishop Grandin. Make sure you turn at the A & W or you will miss getting in. That area is very labyrinthine and you can miss your turn very easily. I'm not sure about the cost as my friends' cousin generously treated us. My hosts also did the ordering and I came late, so didn't see the menu.

This is a basic Chinese restaurant that serves great food. The portions are huge and very tasty. One of our favorites.

The food was OKAY. But we had a TERRIBLE experience with the waitresses. One seemed completely UNFRIENDLY and the other had a NEUTRAL attitude towards us. We felt discriminated against. After we had left, we had forgotten one of our belongings there. It took 15 minutes to be attended to. During the time, the waitress just waved us off from a far to signal we should leave, without listening to what we had to say. Finally we got the package THROWN OUT TO US outside and one lady gave us the finger. I might go as far saying they were a little bit racist.

They treated us very badly, we forgot something in their restaurant and we went to take it but they did not want to open the door for us nor even just talk to us politely they dismissed us and we stayed outside for 15 mins and after there was a chinese woman who wanted to go in and they came and opened the door for her. Thats not how you treat people. they even dared to raise there middle fingure at us just because we called them out about them being racist.

If you want authentic Chinese food, this is the go to place in Winnipeg. The staff are helpful and friendly. Our food arrives quickly. It was delicious!
