The buzz about this place seems to have been, "where ABC's go when they're homesick for Chinatown food". I say "ABC" in particular because Richmond, B.C. has as good food as HK (go ahead, flame me). So apparently I must be an ABC because I enjoyed my meal at Dining Wok.Although my wife got a bit worried because I started salivating over all the fried dishes, our orders of fried cow tongue and spicy soft-shelled crab ended up not being as heavy as she expected.

Although my wife got a bit worried because I started salivating over all the fried dishes, our orders of fried cow tongue and spicy soft-shelled crab ended up not being as heavy as she expected. The portion sizes were also good.
The cow tongue was tender and not over-cooked. It would have been more to my liking if it was not bathed in a heavily hoisin-ized sauce similar American Chinese food, but then again (confession) I am not actually an ABC. I can see why not so many HK people would go for that taste. But I liked it.
We both enjoyed the soft-shelled crab. The big Sichuan style chilies and scallions plus heaps of garlic made it an enjoyable eat. Again, not a delicate flavor, but with a bowl full of chilies, what would you expect? This is a dish I would go back for.
Our choices were kind of pricey for a typical lunch, but we felt like experimenting. The set lunch is much cheaper.
I'm not sure we'll go out of our way to come back on a regular basis, but if we're in the neighborhood it will be worth trying some different dishes. After all, my wife did enjoy the meal. And she really is an ABC.
