    I've bought lunch a couple times here now, it's nice on convenient if you work in the Landmark District. The prices are reasonable and the portions are big. They have an extensive menu filled with authentic Chinese Food. My orders always come out quickly and piping hot. I will be back again! Lots of soup options which are nice going into the winter months.

    Had a lot of expectations but sadly it didn't meet. Ordered Pork dumplings, Chicken Chow Mein and salt and pepper Prawns. Didn't like dumplings at all. They were fried gyoza but very different from other places. Taste was weird, outer coating was different, very very light like there's nothing inside. Had a bit of smell. We ended up returning it. Chow Mein should have been cooked for a min more, it was a tad hard plus bland, no taste at all. She offered us chili oil which made it palatable. Salt and pepper prawns were good. Service was good but overall very expensive. Will I return, probably no.

    This chef knows what they are doing! Not only are the flavors fantastic, but everything was cooked to perfection. The Buddha’s feast was excellent, with vegetables that weren’t over cooked. They have, by far, the best hot and sour soup in town. The salt and pepper squid was melt in your mouth instead of the over cooked - rubbery stuff other places serve. I will definitely be going back for more.

    On my way driving home to Vancouver from Alberta, we stopped at LVS Restaurant for Chinese food. If you want to eat authentic Chinese food, you must eat here. Food is tasty and delicious. Good portions too. This place is run by a husband and wife team who work hard to make sure you have a good meal. Highly recommend 👌

    So far (in Kelowna), the most authentic Chinese food I've had other than my mom's kitchen back in the 90's. Food is pretty good, but you do have to choose the right dishes to match your palette; some of which might not even be on the main English menu. Tell them you speak Chinese even if you don't and you'll get access to the bonus menu of real Chinese food (don't start with chicken feet). We went on a Saturday at lunch and it was absolutely empty from 12-1. I guess they're busier at night and maybe on weekdays when all the Landmark office workers are hungry. When ordering we went with the owner's recommendations off the "Chinese" menu, garlic prawns and sizzling beef which they were great. Then, not on the menu, I asked for some fried Chinese greens and she said they had Bok Choy, so we went with that on the side and rice for two (enough for 4). The only disappointing dish for me was the $38 crispy skin chicken (炸子鸡) which took 30+ min to come out and was super dry (unlike previous ppls photos). Maybe I need to order on a better day because this was desert dry. All in all, the place was better than I expected and I'll go again. I recommend to go in a group so you can split the cost to try more variety of dishes together. I'll try some other dishes next time.

    I ordered for the first time based on good reviews. The Chong Qing hot chicken at $25 was just small chunks of very sharp bone. Dry rice and dry chicken bone. Very unpleasant to eat. Disappointing.

    When it comes to Chinese food outside of China, authenticity is often a very murky subject. That is because Chinese food outside of China is adapted to suit the palates of the locals they are serving. So one can’t put authenticty together with chinese food outside of china because it will never work. But there is nothing wrong with ‘less authentic’ chinese food if basic cookery is executed well. LVS has mastered ‘Wok Hei’ - the rest such as flavour - is adapted to the local palate. I enjoyed the food here as a Taiwanese Canadian but relatives of mine who visited me from China feel there is still a difference in flavour, especially Chinese spices and spiciness level. To each their own but do not write off this place. Big portions, tasty dishes, fresh ingredients and very good prices.

    For context, I'm Cantonese, grew up in Richmond, so I'm pretty picky about actual Chinese food and Kelowna is... sorely lacking in this department. That being said, LVS is definitely hitting the right notes here. We ordered 3 items: #5 stir fry pork belly (回鍋肉), #24 beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), and curry beef brisket w/rice (咖哩牛腩飯). The pork belly and beef brisket were great, flavours were exactly what I was expecting. We ordered an extra bowl of rice as the items without rice/noodles don't come with any, and overall the main dish + rice portions were very generously sized and delicious. However, I'm knocking off a star as the beef chow fun was Not It (no pic cause we got it to-go). I suspect the chef doesn't understand the dish fundamentally; it is a pretty Cantonese-specific dish. The color of the ho fun was too light (needs dark soy), there were unexpected veggies (peppers, cabbage) but somehow missing bean sprouts? It was pretty underseasoned as well. Based on the pork belly and beef brisket I'll definitely be back to try some of their other items, for anyone else craving beef chow fun, Mekong still seems to be the place to go.

    Coming from Calgary I was familiar with the traditional dishes from Sichuan and missed them when we moved to Kelowna. I am so happy that Mr. Lum has opened his authentic Chinese restaurant here in Kelowna! The dishes are made in the traditional style and the portions are very generous. Our favorites were the Sichuan chicken and Sichuan fish. We will definitely be back to try more dishes!

    Just attended a Christmas party at LVS and it was amazing! The service was wonderful and the food was so delicious. I highly recommend any of the tofu dishes. They have great vegetarian options too!

    Had disappointed experience on Friday lunch. The beef brisket was undercooked,too tough to chew, then cook accepted to take them back. Then the waitress presented us bill before other dish finished. The restaurant wasn't that good as scored at 4.8.

    Excellent Chinese food. By far the best in the Okanagan — and having lived in Vancouver and been to China multiple times, I am particular with my Chinese food!

  • 5/5 Steve H. 1 year ago on Google
    Best shrimps in their dishes. Large, perfectly cooked. Tried their salt and pepper shrimp, special chop Suey and deep fried shrimp. Also recommend the Mongolian beef with skinny noodles. Great quality food as I have ordered takeout from them four times.

    This hidden gem Chinese restaurant the owner is keen to their food quality. Friendly staff, fast, and huge portion. Their taste is authentic Sichuan cuisine, best in town I find! 😋 will definitely come back to order more dishes, so yum!
