Populairste Chinese restaurants in Granville Island

Fabulous. Expensive, but the quality of food and the service was well worth it. It is very rare for a Chinese restaurant to have such polite, friendly, attentive, efficient, caring, patient service. In Chinese, the term would equal "gentle", the opposite of "rough" which is lacking in many Chinese restaurants. Chang'an ticked all the right boxes for great food and great service. We loved the duck (pre-order), the smoked fish appetiser, baby back ribs (so tender the meat just fell off the bone), jumbo scallops, egg tofu, and the celery/lily/peach resin. The Pork Belly Sliders were a little disappointing as we were expecting soft buns. These buns are more like the northern style pocket bread buns -- baked rather than steamed. Beware the Szechuan Peppercorn Shaved Beef. Delicious but oh, so very very spicy. Only one person of our group enjoyed it because he can eat super spicy. This is more of a special occasion restaurant as dishes were delivered with a flourish. Not somewhere you'd go to for a quick bite. Highly recommend.

Love the decor and ambience of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The flavours of the pork jowl bowl that I ordered are well-balanced, love this dish!

The xiao long bao was the main reason we chose to come here and it did NOT disappoint. The food was amazing and the ambience was cozy. From the moment you walk in you can see the chefs hand making each bao and the service was great. Will absolutely be back for more

Overall the restaurant was Ok, amongst the food we ordered was the sweet and sour dish, they take very seriously to emphasize the sweet taste on it because it was too much.
