Tai Chin Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Vancouver

It was a cold rainy day this past Friday, one of those days you get home and say lets have Chinese. I am a long time resident here, since 84. I notice a new sign next on my way to get my taxes done; Grand Opening. I looked it up on Google and found the review and #, what the heck give it a try. Called in the order, simple menu, reasonable prices; turn around quick. The inside of the place is nothing to take your prom date to, just tables basic decor. Now for my review, food was Amazing, I would have giving it a 5 but I never give out 5's; there is always room for improvement no matter where you go. Our go to dish is a Combination Appetizer and Happy Family Dish. Appetizer was traditional Crab Puffs, BBQ Pork, Egg Role, Shrimp, I have to say the BBQ Pork was surprisingly good, just the right amount of sweetness paired with Chinese Mustard. The Happy Family dish was more than expected, good size portion, lots of shrimp, beef, and vegetables. Not very much chicken and no mushrooms but that was ok with me. Bottom line this place is...

Probably the worst food takeout experience of my life. We picked it up in about 20 minutes after ordering which was very quick. We ordered 7 dishes in total. 5 of those dishes never made it out of the car seat. They went right through the bottom of the bag when I went to pick them up. Sauce everywhere.... Got a quick pick of the top 2 dinners that I was able to grab before they went through the bottom of the bag also. There was so much excess juice/ liquid in each container That it started oozing out Very likely the second we picked them up. Clearly should have been put in plastic that doesn't leak instead of paper. What we were able to eat was very very soggy. Way more liquid than ever expected for Chinese takeout. The kung pao chicken was in like a soup. Easily the worst I've ever had. The meat to vegetable ratio in the kung pao was about 80% vegetable to 20% chicken. Terrible! Would never think about going back to...

Wow! What an unexpected surprise! We tried this location 3-4 years ago when it was Tang’s Wok. We tried it tonight and we really enjoyed it. The first dish delivered was their green beans. I don’t know what they put on them but they were AMAZING! So flavorful. The chicken chow fun was my kid’s favorite. Great balance of meat, veg and noodles. The sweet and sour chicken is my wife’s barometer of how she judges a place. Crispy outside, tangy sauce, and good balance between chicken and breading. Finally, the honey walnut prawns were enormous. The actual shrimp/prawn was modestly sized compared to the breading. Flavor was solid but a bit bread heavy. Our experience was great. Small family atmosphere (of which we were the only family that couldn’t speak some Chinese dialect). Oh and the Spring rolls had a nice crunch and a good ginger flavor. Totally worth...
