Where do you get good Chinese food in Kelowna

[Deleted]

Imperial Banquet Restaurant in Kelowna is good. They are open 7 days a week from 3-11pm

Buffet King is really good too

I remember watching Wok With Yan on tv, he taught me more about food prep than mom ever did.

As an adult I started to use his cookbooks, they are amazing. But you gotta watch the ingredient list because it isn't always complete. Part of the charm eh.

The one thing that I noticed is that there is a list up top ie the lemon chicken recipe which has the batter ingredients of egg, flour, baking powder, but the water is in the instructions below 3/4 c.
The 1cup water in the top list is for the lemon sauce.

I see what you mean, but I used a yellow felt pen to separate the ingredients and easy reading for anyone looking at it.

Have an autographed cook book of his .Dont want to cook ,Just want a good take out place.So far Mekong is leading the list.

Good idea.

Even a few years back when I had the used bookstore people still asked for his books.

I wish there was a good place for some Pho around here.

I haven't had Pho since I left Vancouver.

Pho Btch Ngga 4 Life.

For Good Pho...Go to the little place in downtown Westbank - Opposite the Community Hall on Main . Its almost next to Lams the jewelers. Cant remember the name. Tiny restaurant, but worth the crush to eat Pho there rather than "to go"

But generally, I have to agree that the quality here (Kelowna and West Kelowna) is pretty poor. The hygiene is not too hot either.

The buffet deal always worries me cos the food is almost cold by the time you get to the table. Sometimes the gravies turn to goop on the plate as they cool and congeal..... So it's back to get a hot plate - you hope! and some warmer food.I almost want to see a microwave table so I can nuke the germs and heat my food up.

Any more "authentic" restaurant suggestions???

The best pho in town used to be at vietnam village. Some new owners took over 5 years ago or so and changed the menu. None of the dishes were as good as the previous owners, and even after giving them a chance, I had to take my daily lunch elsewhere. Mon Thong in Orchard Plaza is OK, but Bai Tong on Water street is superior. I understand people from the same family own both, and they each have the same menu. Bai Tong is MUCH cleaner and the food is MUCH fresher. I have eaten at both 100's of times and I wont go to Mon Thong again. I drive the extra distance and go to Bai Tong.

I have to agree. I tried the Orchard Plazza one and was amazed at the difference between the two. Water street for me only! Totally different atmosphere, food and service!

We have been ordering from the one in Willow park in Rutland, and love it. Great prices too. Before that, when I lived downtown, I would always order from Ken's on Bernard. Again, good food, good prices. For buffet, Buffet King on 97 is the best. For Vietnamese, Saigon downtown is the ONLY place we go.

I noticed that Ken's is closed now.

Thumbs up for Buffet King...

the only Vegetables that are green and everything is fresh....

the hosts on Sundays are always friendly as well.

We enjoy the Imperial on Rutland Rd N. The ginger beef tasted like ginger beef, and the portions were generous for the price. The lemon chicken and chow mein were both really good, not transcendant, but really good.

Wok Inn!

The one on Lakeshor is closed, now a parking lot under construction

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I completely forgot about all that but never really noticed the Wok was gone. So many good memories of going there after the beach. Never been disappointed except when I ordered fish soup once... However I'm not sure anyone can make a genuine Chinese fish soup I can like.

[Mr Danksworth]

I'll second the Imperial in Rutland.

Try Pho Fusion across from the Superstore in Vernon. Probably not Vancouver quality, but one of the better choices in this valley.
