Chang'an - Vancouver

We had a table of 12 took considerable time to have someone take a drink order, then delivered in bits and pieces over the next 20 minutes. They started to carve the very good duck immediately and the following soup was delicious, then they disappeared. More than 1/2 an hour after we finished the soup I went out and asked a waiter to please serve us , a few minutes later they brought us 3 menus for 12 and then took orders. Of the 8 dishes we ordered, which the waiter repeated back at the time only 6 arrived. Once we finished the 6 we asked about the other 2, 10 minutes later the beef arrived, we asked about the missing fish another 10 minutes later it arrived. Then at 10 o'clock, it is Saturday night and although our booking was for 7:30 we weren't seated until almost 8, they started turning off the lights.So horrible sevice what about the food. With exception of the duck about what you old expect at an average suburban Chinese restaurant.

I have been to Chang'an twice both by invitation of friends who live in Vancouver. It's safe to say it's one of the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver and that standard is very high due to the size of the Chinese community there. Chang'an presents authentic North West cuisine from China. Every dish is exquisite and authentic to my taste. Beijing duck is cooked to perfection. Highly recommend but I heard they are super busy especially on weekends so book ahead.

Great restaurant, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, very high quality level of food and service, makes you feel like a vip. best duck ever, have to pre order it the day bf, but its worth it. plan ahead

Just had to try this place with all the reviews - and the food and service was incredible. The ambiance on the water under the bridge and yacht club made for a very special evening.

Filed with Asian diners which speaks to the authenticity. Great elegant decor, high end. The whole duck seemed to b the thing to order. Very typical Chinese. Hot and Sour soup for one person, $16!!! A bit steep. The eggplant dish was superb but the mild chicken dish was boiled chicken and some greens. Need direction with the menus, not easily understood by those who may be unfamiliar. Nice location on the water. Quite expensive. May be better the second time. Better with experience.
