Read moreThis place is a gem. All in-house made food. Welcoming and friendly service. Large portions. Special entree every day. Homemade jams for sale. The har won ton soup (go for the large!) has fresh crunchy vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, chopped bok choy and carrots, plus bbq pork slices and generous pieces of shrimp. The chicken base for the soup is delicious and flavorful, the kind that simmers on the back of the stove for hours, like your mother would make for you if she was a good cook. Potato filled perogies and sausage were also well made and delicious. We also enjoyed the pot stickers it got busy after the theater show let out on Sunday. They serve breakfast all day when not too busy. And a tempting selection of house made pies! Bonnie Martin covers all the bases with something for everyone. It’s unpretentious, family run and a pleasure to patronize. I’m going...
Read moreA great family run local restaurant in Chemainus. While visiting my brother, my family came here for dinner one night. It was really busy, so there was a big of a wait for a table, but it was definitely worth the wait.
They have an extensive menu with lots of different types of options, as well as daily specials. I had the halibut burger. I loved the dill mayo, and the halibut was perfectly breaded and fried. I had it with a side of onion rings. For dessert I had the peach pie. It was to die for. The crust gave me memories of my grandma.
The service was very friendly. You could tell this place was a staple of the community with people coming in for take out orders or paying their bills and the staff knew all about them and their families.
I look forward to eating here again...
