Deer Garden is One of The Best Cantonese Restaurant in Vancouver

Fried Pork Chop

Some people say that Deer Garden Chinese Restaurant is the best Cantonese restaurant in Vancouver. But I have dined in many Cantonese restaurants and in each of them there is only a few special signature cuisine that their customers like. The one certainly is, every one of these Chinese restaurants serve generously. The serving portions could actually feed more than one person. And that is the hallmark of Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Deer Garden Chinese Restaurant is no exception to that. I have been to two of their three outlets and found their Cantonese cuisines to be unique and reasonable tasty and flavourful. But that should not rank them as the best. A few days ago, my family and I dined at the Port Coquitlum outlet which was the nearest to where we lived.

Clay Pot Tofu Seafood

They have several set meals to select from, but I really like to mix and match the cuisines. I would normally go for the seafood, tofu and/or a meat cuisine to get my money's worth because the menu price is the same whether it is a plate of vegetables or a plate of meat cuisine. And besides that, the menu prices of the items in Deer Garden aren't exactly the most competitive. Their menu prices are about ten to fifteen percent more than their nearest competitor in the same mall area. I guest customers still come here in spite of that because of the ambiance and uniqueness of their Cantonese cuisines. At least that is what they think.

Lemon Chicken

Their clay pot halibut cuisine is a must try cuisine. So, they claimed. But one must be very careful when enjoying that signature cuisine because the fish is not boneless. I like their Richmond outlet, where they serve an array of halibut cuisines. Then, we also had the clay pot tofu seafood cuisine which was filled with lots of seafood and fried tofu. Other than the halibut cuisine, the other cuisines we tried were the fried pork chop and the lemon chicken. I guess these later two cuisines were more suitable to the local taste. I favour the halibut and the clay pot tofu seafood more. At least there were some flavour and choices within these two earlier cuisines. The fried pork chop and the lemon chicken tasted rather flat.
