🥡 Kim Wah Chinese Restaurant – Exceptional Eats in Cowichan Bay
Located in scenic Cowichan Bay, Kim Wah Chinese Restaurant offers not just delicious fare, but a cozy view of the ocean and houseboats that adds a uniquely coastal charm to your dining experience.
👋 Warm Welcome & Ambience
We arrived around 5 o’clock on a Friday, beating the dinner rush. Greeted with a friendly smile, we were seated promptly by the window — a lovely touch that let us enjoy a glimpse of the ocean while we dined.
🍜 Starters & Combos
I started with my usual favourite — won ton soup. Rich, flavorful, and just what you'd hope for in a comforting Chinese soup. For our mains, both Anna and I ordered Combo 3, which included chicken chow mein, deep-fried prawns, and sweet and sour pork.
🔥 Hot Food, Hot Plates
Our meals arrived by 5:30 — piping hot, served with a smile and a warning that the plates were hot. The portions were generous, and the flavours hit all the right notes: crispy prawns, tangy pork, and savoury noodles.
🌟 Stellar Service
Our server was outstanding — attentive without hovering, always smiling, and clearly in command of her role. She kept an eye on every table, and her timing was perfect whether it was a drink refill or checking in on our meal. A true standout in hospitality.
🅿️ Parking Note
One small caveat: parking in Cowichan Bay is tight. The restaurant even has signs asking non-patrons not to use their spots. Plan ahead or carpool if you can!
💬 Final Thoughts
With top-notch service, delicious food, and seaside charm, Kim Wah’s is easily a 5 out of 5 on the *Epicure Table* scale. Dragon Yuan — watch out, you’ve got competition!
