Chong Qing Restaurant - Burnaby

Chongqing has been around for ages. I remember back when I was younger, I use to travel to their original location on West Broadway. Since that location has closed, this was my first time back in years. I was excited to take my girlfriend out on date night.<br/ <br/ I decided to order the peeking duck 2 course. They also have half orders but I decided on full order. we didn't mind taking home extras. But for a couple to save money and just have enough to fill your bellies, half order would do the trick.<br/ <br/ Our first course was with the rice crepes. It comes with condiments. The hoisin sauce, cucumbers, and onions. It's a no brainer, build it and it eat.<br/ <br/ The second course was the duck lettuce wraps. Again, fill the stuffing onto the lettuce.<br/ <br/ They prepped the peeking duck beautifully. It was savory and crispy. We enjoyed every bite. The lettuce wrap was refreshing with the crisp cold lettuce. Zomato didn't update the menu again. Just a heads up that I paid 40 bucks for the 2 course full order. But for this price... I think it's still reasonable. Your getting value and quality. Our services for the night was good. Just a grumpy looking waiter, but in general our glasses were always filled.<br/

Lunch special. Seems like almost every Chinese restaurant in Vancouver knows these two words. It 's like they all went into a marketing meeting and came up with the idea that the best form of retaining customers and reaching out to new ones is to offer a lunch special menu. Not just one item, but a huge variety of items. Looking at Chongqing 's lunch special menu, I opted for 'Diced Chicken in Chili, Sour Garlic Sauce w/Spinach Rice. Pretty self explanatory. I think every single ingredient is listed in the name. Plus one for another Chinese restaurant tactic. No fancy names, let 's just list out every single ingredient.

Great food, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Excellent siu long baos and ginger beef! Decent portions. Small restaurant so if you're going as a big group, you should make a reservation. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, but the service was a bit cold here. Not sure if that's just how it is or what. But the food was pretty good.

Been there 5 times in the last month for lunch. GREAT lunch specials lots of variety , delicious food and very affordable pricing. Will return any day!
