Peaceful - Port Coquitlam

Amazing beef rolls, crispy ginger beef and Kong Pow Chicken like always. Didn't get the steam bums this time should have they are awesome too. They need to let people in the area they are there! As it's a little hidden secret more people then Vancouver locations need to know.

We have been to this place about 5 times now and each time is the same as the last. Chinese food perfection! Fast, friendly service. Never one thing wrong with order. The food is amazing. So many choices. Guy Fieri was right about this place. We drive 30 minutes past countless other Chinese restaurants to get the best. Mandarin orange ginger chicken is my favorite.

At the old Deer Garden location, so same humble Chinese restaurant vibes, which is something I personally like (not even any music). I'm guessing due to the pandemic, it was pretty empty, but our food came really quick and service was polite. They're known for their Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and those didn't disappoint. We got other standard fare in this category of cuisine to test on this first visit (rice cakes, garlic string beans, Taiwanese beef rolls, Northern pork dumplings), and it was all very flavourful. I could eat the rice cakes all day. Not a fan of using disposable plates, though. Feels a bit irresponsible, especially with so few customers during the pandemic. Will definitely return for the food.

Having been to the other Peaceful Restaurants in Vancouver I was excited to hear that a location opened up so close to home. They seemingly opened quietly during COVID so I wasn 't too sure what to expect and I 'm sure a lot of people also don 't realize that this location is here. So that 's why I really wanted to try it out and leave a review, because I think there 's great potential here and I hope they get more business! I 've been here twice now, as of this review, and I think this is the type of spot where they do some dishes well, and others not as much. I often find that to be the case for restaurants with larger menus, not every place can do every dish well, and I think that 's understandable! So your experience here could definitely vary depending on what you choose to order. The first time we came we ordered the Kung Pao chicken because another review said they enjoyed it, but we found it to be pretty meh and just okay. So the next time we came we ordered a different chicken dish, the General Tsao 's Chicken, and we like that one much better! Much better flavour! Other dishes that we enjoyed were the Xiao Long Bao (a dish Peaceful Restaurant is known for), the Beef Rolls (another dish they 're known for), the Spicy Gingered Beef, the Vegetable Tofu Stir-fried Noodles, and the Sichuan Stir-fried Noodles. The broth in the Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai soup-filled dumplings) was delicious and went well with the vinegar they serve it with, the vinegar really helps to cut the richness of the broth and pork filling. The noodles also had a great texture to them, a nice bounce and chewiness that was satisfying. The Sichuan Stir-fried Noodles were my favourite as they also had a nice light heat to them. I will say that the Spicy Gingered Beef isn 't very spicy but that may be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask. It 's still very tasty regardless of if you 're a spice fan or not! I had family members who visited on a separate occasion from me and they said they wo

Just like everyone is saying the beef rolls don't disappoint, they are very crunch and savory and the sauce inside is perfect. I ordered the Beef Szechuan noodle soup as well and the noodles were well made and the meat was very good quality!
