Ridge Gardens Chinese Restaurant (Arbutus)
Ridge Gardens Chinese Restaurant (map, visitor reviews, 3113 Arbutus Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, phone: 604-736-7006, fax: 604-736-5231) offers above-par Chinese food in the affluent Arbutus Ridge neighborhood of Vancouver, which is close to Kitsilano to the north and Kerrisdale to the south. It’s in the same strip mall as the Ridge Theatre.
My family always chooses to dine at Ridge Garden for big get-togethers, where we order off the banquet menu and share many dishes.
Prices are reasonable: for a huge meal including soup, crab, and at least one dish per person, the total cost came out to around $20 each including tax. There were enough leftovers for a couple more meals at home too! The Ridge Garden restaurant also offers Chinese food delivery to the nearby Vancouver vicinity, as well as take-out.
Pictured below are the Hot and Spicy Crab (market price), the hot pot with chicken and black fungus (very tasty, believe me!), and the house soup (flavorful and savory). Ample free parking is available in the lot just north of the restaurant on Arbutus street, and the restaurant is also accessible by bus (view easy transit directions to the restaurant).

The propriertor of this fine establishment always makes certain you are warmly welcomed. His scouse accent betrays his origin of birth, however he has the cutting humour of one who was birthed and brought up as a Liverpudlian.
My wife and I are frequent attendees of Michael’s Haven.
If you hail from the Merseyside precinct, I encourage you to visit Michael and ask him about his overwhelming desire to get a “take out” of curry and chips on one of his trips home.The war won ton soup is always a hit when we go! (if you can spell it!)
