The Ridge Restaurant - Vancouver

Great neighbourhood restaurant. Authentic, lots of variety, big portion and great price. We will be going back!

Love this place! Been eating here since I was a kid.. Awesome food, super friendly people, great memories. Best Chinese soul food around!

This family (siblings) business have been around for 33 years. Their old location was at the Ridge theater/bowling center at Arbutus and 15th. This location is smaller now but lots of free parking on Macdonald St. Cash or debit only. 10% off for pick-up orders over $60 by cash. 5% off for pick-up orders over $60 by debit. Does not open for dinner on Mondays (11am-3pm). Does not open for lunch on Sun and holidays (5pm-9pm). Their authentic Chinese food is good and reasonable. My pork chop, chicken and green beans (the best texture in Vancouver) are all around $22 each. They are still giving out fortune cookies.EDIT:Green beans $20Sweet sour pork $20Meat, seafood and tofu in hot pot $25Paper bag $0.50

We have been loyal clients of Ridge Garden for eight years and am writing this with a bit of sadness.Their food had always been of high quality, the staff kind and the restaurant was clean.We ordered last week and were overcharged 16$, a fact only established after calling to have our bill explained since it was in Chinese. The food was so so.They said they would make it up to us next time.When we called today, they took our order and when we asked about the overcharge from last time, we were offered a free side sauce (which until two weeks ago was free anyway). The order of two basic items and fried rice would have been $68 plus tax for pickup. There is no accurate pricing for any of their dishes, not online or in house.The quality does not justify these prices and after so many years of loyal service I would expect a mistake on their part to be rectified.This practice of murky pricing, incomprehensible bills and overcharging has lost them our business.

The restaurant has a very small area for dining in. There are only about 8 tables. When we went there were people sitting at 2 of the tables waiting for their take-out orders. Most of the other tables were occupied. One of the ladies found a table for us and brought menus and hot tea to the table. The staff seem to all be family members and they all worked together to see that the customers were taken care of. Most of the dishes seem to be around $20.00. The staff were all very friendly and serviced both the customers with take-out orders and customers dining in very well. We ordered crispy skin chicken, pea pods with beef and rice. When our crispy skin chicken arrived it did not come with the salt that is always served with the chicken and we had to request it. The pea pods with beef was average. I found the chicken to be somewhat dry and not very good. It was also a very small chicken. The service was very good. The food was between poor and average. I don’t think they are really set up for dining in. The room is nice though and tables were well cleaned between customers whether people eating in or waiting for take-out orders. We found the small dining area and people waiting beside our table most of the evening for take-out orders did not make for a pleasant experience. They take cash or debit card only. Credit cards are not accepted. I don’t think we would return although the service was excellent we found we did not enjoy our meal.
