We are craving Chinese tonight but not feeling the love for Han Lin at the moment and Neptune, probably the best, is only reserved for some special occasions since it’s so pricey.
So I did a little research and found North King Noodle House on Hastings in Burnaby. Good ratings without a ridiculous delivery fee.
Merilynm specifically asked for sweet and sour pork.
This is one dish I’ve never liked, so I didn’t try it. She reported it very good though.
Oddly enough I couldn’t find a noodle dish I found appealing. From a noodle house. Maybe I’ll have to check out their in house menu. Maybe the online menu has fewer options?
Anyways I pick Chicken Fried Rice.
Glad I did. That was some fantastic fried rice. Right near the top of best ever. Lots of flavour, a little but sticky and lots of chicken. It’s a winner.
And they had King Pao so that’s a must do.
I ordered medium, next time I’ll crank that heat level up some. Kung Pao needs a kick. It was great Kung Pao. The sauce was a little different, a bit sweeter than you’d usually see in a Kung Pao. But it complemented the spiciness well. Lots of peanuts too. If I had one small complaint I’d say trim up the chicken a bit. I had a couple of inedible bi.ts. Easy enough to pick around though.
As for value, 3 dishes delivered to New West from North Burnaby in today’s day is not too bad.
Overall that’s an excellent Chinese. Both the dishes I tried were fantastic. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again.
