Surrey's First ever proper Chinese restaurant!


Let me be blunt, Surrey has easily the worst Chinese restaurants in all of BC. Most are simply "Chop Suey" houses that specialize in the three item combo with a soda, it's especially bad since most of the restaurants here are forced to serve this...turd cuisine, as it is what pays the bills.

We have lived here for almost eight years and during that time we have found mediocre Chinese food at best.


Until now....Well sorta...


A few weeks ago the Neptune group opened up the Neptune Seafood Restaurant (fine dining) & Neptune Wonton House (casual dining), to our excitement! Both restaurants look gorgeous and are right next to each other. We have only been to the Neptune Wonton house so far so I'll focus on their food.

"Low Mein" with Spicy Pork pork sauce, first thing I thought when I saw this dish was... They used the wrong type of noodle, it's supposed to be a thin noodle, but no big woop. Overall was alright, and the portion size was gigantic, We'll try something else next time.

Empress Chicken, basically steamed marinated chicken. This was a great dish and easily the best dish I've had here, served warm (I hate ice cold chicken!!!) and was very good, I will order again for sure!

Spicy fried eggplant, Debbie ordered this one and she enjoyed it, another solid dish.

Stir fried pork cheek and with green beans, another simple dish, it was well done and not too salty, we'll order this again.

One dish not pictured, was the Malaysian Pork rib & Tofu Hotpot, and simply put... It was AWFUL. Extremely salty, pork wasn't fresh, the ribs were the cheapest cartilage pieces. We would never order it again. We told the waitress and they took the dish away and said sorry... But no refund or any attempt to replace the dish. Now one thing I should mention is that this is actually normal behavior at most Chinese restaurants, I don't really take offense to this reaction from them, but please be warned.

Overall a decent meal, but nothing mind blowing. Still this is easily the best Chinese restaurant in Surrey and we've already gone five times in a month!

Service is a little slow at the moment and there are some obvious growing pains right now as it has only been opened for a few weeks (they forgot to pack one of our dishes). I'm sure their going to hit their stride soon. Both restaurants are busy and afternoon dim sum is always PACKED with people (Dim Sum reservations are a must).

Overall I say go. Unless you like Chop Suey... :-P
