MUI GARDEN VICTORIA DR - Vancouver

Signature dish: hk styled Curry Beef 咖喱牛腩 is always our first choice<br/ <br/ The portion is big enough for 2 persons to share.<br/ It is a must-have dish when I returned to Vancouver every time. I will recommend to western friends if they really wanna to try and taste the Hong Kong good taste. <br/

After day of work and a few hours of shopping at Ikea, we were faced with finding a spot to dine at 9PM on a weekday in the Victoria Drive area. Everything closes early there, like around 9, and we were starving. Mui Garden was the only option for “good” food past 9:30PM:. I had the curry beef brisket with rice noodle in soup (left), P had the same with vermicelli, and J had the curry beef brisket with rice. Clearly, the curry is a good choice here. Mui Garden has renovated in the past few years, since I was last here in my high school days, and now it looks much cleaner! They still have the same servers that I grew up with, and although there are slight changes in the menu, it still feels like home. Looking at that photo makes me hungry…

Food quality was good, and price was pretty good! I had the Laksa, which I thought wasn't as coconutty as it could've been, but their mapo tofu was nice. Meals also came with a drink! Ended up not being able to finish because there was quite a bit of food, so portions were a little big. I'm not complaining! Definitely can be a little hard to flag down someone to take your order at times, but it wasn't the worst.

Everything is great about this place. The people, the service, and the food. I always get their HK style milk tea and curry brisket on rice noodle, the curry is so unique that you probably can't find anywhere else in Vancouver. Other than that, their Hainanese chicken on rice is also a must try, go with a oil rice, it would taste even better with the chicken and sauces. I don't have a complaint about this place other than parking is always hard to find.

Solid place to get good Hong Kong and Southeast Asian flavours. You can't go wrong with plain rice with their beef curry and a glass of iced milk tea.
