Mar's Chinese Cuisine

We asked a friend for a recommendation for Chinese in Vancouver he recommended here. So glad he did. At first I was not so impressed lady that took our order was so quick I felt like I did finish my sentence...But the food made up for it all. All very fresh and delicious. I love that she asked if we wanted the steemed rice instead of just adding it. I always feel like I waste it because I order fried rice.

The food is good, the service friendly, but they kept taking the food that we hadn't finished eatting (appetizer & sauce- we always use the leftover sauce on our rice, bowl of side rice). Seems to me you should ask if you want it before just picking it up to take away.

The food here is spectacular, and so is the service. I went here at lunchtime and I was amazed at the prices. 6 bucks for a huge hot and spicy chicken bowl! It was exactly as good as I hoped it would be. I ordered szechuan chicken also thinking there would be NO way a 6 dollar chicken bowl would fill me up. I was so wrong. So much food for 12 bucks.

Not only was the food excellent, but the nice lady serving us was ALWAYS there when we needed something. The restaurant was not full, but she was serving at least 4 other tables besides ours and was very impeccable with her timing. Servers at Red Robin's wished they had this level of efficiency and customer care. We felt very well taken care of, water and my tea always refilled when needed. I did not feel skimped on buying a beverage as some places are loathe to refill more than once (is it that expensive to refill tea??).

Amazing place. Amazing food. Amazing service. Just the perfect Chinese restaurant for that Chinese craving.

Last time I ate at Mar's was five years ago before I moved to Tacoma. Now I'm back, and Mar's is as good as ever. Great service, great food. Nice interior. Menu has extensive selection, but is not over-the-top. I've tried many of the dishes, all wonderful.
