Mmmmm just ordered for father's day for my dad and the food was amazing I loved everything. We ordered beef chowmein chicken fried rice and almond chicken with gmd4t garlic pork with chop suey with gravy and sweet and sour sauce and it was so delicious thank you. My dad really enjoyed his father's day dinner and so did me and mom.

This restuarant is dark, mundane, drab & gloomy. The service was sub par and definitely could have been better. When we entered there were maybe two other small tables taken and by the time we left there was nobody there. This should have been a bit of foreshadowing on our experience. That foreshadowing as well as my spouse back at home googling and seeing the bad reviews for this place. However I figured might as well try it, some people are picky, even one of the photos being the food in the trash. I wanted to try and give it a chance. So upon first entrance our waitress was average, no real excitement for the job. Slow, mid level smiles and more.
We were a table of four and the other three people ordered a lunch special. I was lucky and ordered two dim sum items. When my lunch partners received their items it was very obvious that this was going to be an uncomortable meal for them. The entire lunch special (Chow mein, vegetables, meat) was just entirely coated in something greasy. The vegetables were not soft - they were worse. One person exclaimed that as soon as they were a couple bites in they instantly felt regret. Their stomachs immediately started to feel heavy and gross. By the end two out of the three barely finished their meals. One person asked for theirs to go and as they scraped it into the to go container I could see the shine and just how coated in grease it was.
I ordered Dim Sum (Soup Dumplings and Steamed Pork Buns) and they were delicious. It felt not as heavy as the chinese food and I loved it. It was delicious however it does not make up for the fact that three people had a bad experience. I also received my Dim Sum five minutes after everyone else and that was not a big deal but I absolutely despise having to wait while everyone else enjoys their food.
Once we left the restaurant it was a constant internal struggle for my lunch cohorts stomachs and the need for washrooms pretty much right after.

We definitely will NOT be going back and I do see and understand why this restaurant has bad reviews in part. They are good at Dim Sum but chinese food was atrocious.

We were really, really disappointed. Tried for first time as recommended by two other couples. Ordered Dry garlic pork (little flavour as garlic pieces were just sprinkled on top. S&S Pork (not very flavourful at all, basically the same as the garlic ribs. U would guess both plates were cooked the same but one added garlic pieces and other just poured a bland sauce over it). Cantonese Chow Mein (Basically mixed veggies on spaghetti with no flavour). Beef Chip Suey ( good portions but little flavour). Shrimp Egg Foo Young (for my piece I took 1/4 of entree, had one minuscule piece of shrimp). Basically very bland. Will need to add soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil to the left overs to bump it up. $99.50 before tax. For 5 entrees. Will go back to Capital Restaurant Chinese food. Same order would have been $85.60 before tax. Wanted to try a different place, sorry we did. Woodland Chinese food was pretty much the same as Canton Gardens. Had a hankering for Chinese food for a few weeks and this didn’t come close of satisfying us.

The best Chinese restaurant I'm Chilliwack that I have been to. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The portion sizes are always very generous, unlike at Capital Restauramt, and the service is also usually top notch. And one of the waitresses, Katherine, speaks Cantonese, so she is very good about customizing an order to ypur liking if that's what you need, as she can explain to the kitchen staff how you want your meal prepared.

I've been a customer of this restaurant for several years, amd can't believe it took me this long to write a review.

Five stars all the way!

Very dissatisfied with the food. The chow mien was like eating tasteless spaghetti. Everything had an oily taste to it. No flavour at all. Only went there because the Capitsl was closed. Next time I’ll wait.

I ordered take out and was very disappointed. Probably the worst chinese food I've ever had. The chicken fried rice had never seen a frying pan and the chicken was just grated on top. Same with the chicken chop suey, which was grated chicken and just noodles, no bean sprouts or anything else. Wouldn't recommend ever eating there. The service was good, although I have an issue with being given a bill without seeing the food and being asked for a tip first. If this is called Canton style of cooking, no thanks.

We were here as part of a group of 50 to celebrate a friend's 80th birthday. We had a large banquet with room for all. The food was buffet style Chinese food. Delicious tasty food and lots of it. Service was exceptional!

Ordered pickup, #2 combo x2. I enjoyed the almond chicken and the staff was super nice.

However the fried rice and chow mein was not good... I don't want to be mean but it was all mushy. The pork was okay.

I probably won't order from here again.
