Reviews for James On Hastings Chinese Restaurant in Vancouver, BC

This place reminds me of ??? in Hong Kong! The food is good and portions are good. Prices are reasonable. Due to being an older... building, the dining area gets a cold wind blows inside every time the front door is open with patrons going in and out. Alsothe floor outside the washroom is very slippery! The service from James is good but totally understaffed. The busboy who haslimited duties can't assist while two other people served a full house. Also being a food house, food was very slow.

Service was pretty quick. Hot tea got re-fill constantly. Food is decent, the wonton was not as spicy as i would like it. The... other sever almost charge me for the wrong order which was almost double my bill by accident :)) Update: i had come back acouple times and the food were all tasting sour like it was spoil already(any type of soup dumpling. The noodle soup is alreadyvery disappointing with no flavor in the soup at all). Read more

Service is friendly. Price is reasonable for late night restaurant. Foods are fairly good. They also give free plain congee for... with late night dishes. Read more

Stepping foot into this restaurant brings me back to the street eats in Asia. With photo menu items posted all over the wall and... ripped up seats, you can't get more asian than this. If you have high standards, please don't come here because the flies areeverywhere from the tables to even the washroom stalls. We probably ordered the wrong items because the hainanese chicken andduck are terrible in taste and visually there are feathers still attached to the skin where we need to manually pluck them out.The portions are big but the price isn't cheap (well with inflation, nothing is cheap in Vancouver anymore) their most populardish is curry crab and probably their curry dishes. They got dimsum at a flat price of $8.99 which is higher than actual dimsumrestaurants. I think this restaurant really caters to the locals because it's not good enough for me to drive 30 mins to comehere. I have better options along the way before I would come back again. Read more

Went there to eat with my family after PNE because they opens late. The fried pork chops were way too salty. We kept drinking... water. The calms were not washed because they got sand in them. They didn?t taste that fresh as well. Moreover, we waited for 40minutes for our food. I saw people who ordered after us got their food before us. Their attitude was beyond unacceptable. Itseemed we owe their money or something. Most of time we were just waiting for something!!! My daughter was falling asleep! I wasvery frustrated after this meal. We don?t know how they got 4.1 with this kind of food and attitude! DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TOANYONE! Save your money to go somewhere else!!???????????????????????? Read more

Fair price, lots of seating areas, kind and fast service! We didn?t feel rushed with the menu. They ensured our tea was always... filled. I really liked how they have all their dishes printed and posted along the walls because it?s helpful to see all theirdishes! While your looking at the menu itself you also find yourself looking around the room for the photo! It also has theprices listed on the photos. I had the wonton noodle for $13. There was enough wonton and just enough noodles. The broth wasjust right - not too salty. There?s condiments on the side if you want to enhance the flavour. I also ordered some lo mein withbeef. Good enough for one person and it came with a side soup which had a similar taste to my wonton soup. Will return to tryother dishes! Read more

Went here for dim sum on a Sunday. There were several flies buzzing in the middle of the restaurant. Food is over-rated. Rice... rolls were overly sticky. Washroom was fairly clean but also used for storage. We left feeling a little nauseous from all theflies. Don't know why people rate this place so highly. Read more

Went here for a late night dimsum! It opened till midnight and if you are craving for dimsum at night and around the area, you... should come here!! The dimsums were okay and not the best and not that awesome but they did the job for late night dimsums.Cheers! Read more
