king do restaurant

under the new management, this place has been a hit and miss. same dish would taste different every time when we visit for example we ordered spicy deep friedsquidwhich was fresh and meatysquidand tasted delicious but coupe days later the same dish tasted totally different. they had switched to frozensquidand it tasted bland and rubbery. our recent visit was the worst because my husband was in the washroom with one of their kitchen helper who did not wash his hands before returning to work!!!!! this is totally unacceptable!!!we talked to the front staff who insist he did wash his hands in the kitchen??!! we are not going to take the risk so we left and not coming back to this place anymore

their house special crispy chow mein is one of the best in town! in addition to regular seafood, chicken and bbq pork, it also has some fried fish mixed into the sauce. the dim sum is decent, though the regular shrimp dumpling seems a bit small and siu mai too meaty (lee yuen's has more shrimp to it though both are pretty large portions). their scallop-shrimp dumpling is great and larger portioned though it comes in three pieces. friedsquidis not as greasy or spicy as some other locations.  i tried their wonton noodle soup a while back, the wontons were great but the soup was awful as the noodle dough taste went into the soup.

they have really stepped up their dim sum game since closing and relocating to 104th! i love their variety of dishes and their claypot with beef brisket and rice noodles is delicious. service is always great and the owner always stops by every table to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves! yes, they can get busy and the kitchen can be slow when it's a full house, but it's worth the wait for the only decent dim sum place in surrey!

there has been an ownership change and there is a new chef. we ordered some chow mein, beef and broccoli, spicy friedsquidand sweet and sour chicken and it wasn’t as good as the previous chef’s. it’s just okay. i will give it another try and try the dim sum too and further update my review.

tried the dim sum here after the ownership change. it’s pretty good but not as much selection as the previous owner/chef. i miss the fried shrimp bean curd 😕

king do is becoming a family favourite of ours, as there aren’t many good choices for chinese food in surrey, especially those that offer dim sum (and peking duck). they hosted my nephew’s baptism lunch last month, and we went back for a family lunch this past easter weekend. we ordered way too much food (again) – peking duck with lettuce wrap as the second course, chicken corn soup, deep fried tofu, deep fried squid, pan fried rice rolls, sticky rice, beef with flat noodles, chicken fried rice, beef balls, some vegetables, and sesame balls. the peking duck was something that i was craving for a long time, and only got to have a litte taste of it at my friend’s birthday a few weeks ago. this satisfied my craving. the warm wrapper, hoisin, green onion, thinly sliced duck, and crisp skin was realy good. they did something a little different and added cucumber for more crunch and freshness. the fried tofu andsquidwere topped with the same garlic, and
