Alvin Garden — Restaurant in Burnaby

Delicious Hunan Chinese food❤️🩷✅️! LOVE THIS recently discovered restaurant here on Imperial St!! We have never had "HUNAN cuisine" style before. Most of all others-but THIS is VERY fresh/ healthy tasting✅️✅️❗️ We have had several excellent dishes to try. We had a darker DELICIOUS broth wonton soup like I've never seen before- amazing😍 - and the flavour of their wonton dumplings is just incredible🤯! We wanted MORE and have NEVER in all our years had wonton dumplings tasting like their's do 🤗😋!! We had ginger, chicken, and green onion soup-🤩😘AMAZING broth AGAIN! Refreshing-TRULY- and, it left us ALL wanting it AGAIN! Fabulous shredded pork with Hunan pickles soup-OH MY!!! 🤭The broth AGAIN! I CANNOT say enough about this place✅️✅️ DEFINITELY coming back for all of this- their chefs, ✅️✅️and this Hunan style of food and spicing, etc! We also had their wonderful smoked pork house rice, sour shredded potatoes and peppers, spicy cabbage, green onion pancakes, beef broccoli, cold dish- spicy black fungus with parsley, etc. ( "MILD" is fairly HOT here🥵-so- ask for "👶BABY heat😂??" PLEASE try for yourself! You WON'T likely be disappointed! They have delivery, it IS very clean, SO many menu choices, the servers are nice and prices are very fair and comparable. They have dim sum...

I didn't even get a chance to taste the food, this review is for the delivery guy only whom I had the misfortune to meet tonight. He is a rude and stupid little man. I was picking up an order from the Preference Restaurant next door. Long story short, I parked in a spot clearly labelled 'Preference Restaurant'. The delivery guy followed me and told me I couldn't park there and that I had to move. He said the parking spot was only for the Dance Studio. I said OK, I will move it and went back to move my van. He followed me to the parking lot and stood there pacing back and forth. I thought at some point he would be helpful as I was having trouble finding the Preference restaurant entrance, but no. He claimed that I nearly scratched his car and was not allowed to park there. Actually, the spot was clearly labelled 'Preference Restaurant' and I was parked properly. The reason the 2 vehicles were so close was the delivery guy was parked crooked in his spot and only 1/2-way in. So as indignant as he was, he was in the wrong. For all he knew, I was planning to eat at the Alvin Garden. That is no way to treat a customer. Even I had parked in the wrong spot, at least have some basic manners and direct me to a better spot to park (politely). Customers are the only reason...

Alvin Garden is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, a perfect setting for a meal full of bold flavors.

The food Simply outstanding. Every dish we ordered was packed with the rich, spicy flavors that Sichuan cuisine is known for. The spice levels were just right—intense but not overwhelming—allowing the complex layers of flavor to really shine through. My personal favorites were the spicy beef tendon and the dry fried chicken —both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of the food. If you’re a fan of authentic Sichuan cuisine or looking to try something new, Alvin Garden is the place to go. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their...
