Uptown Eatery

Decided to try a new spot tonight in hopes of supporting Asian owned restaurants during the pandemic, I thought this place was closed, but I found out they were doing takeout... needless to say, this is the best Chinese food I’ve had on the coast. Everything I ordered was hot and fresh, the veggies were crisp, the flavours were great and you can tell the food was made with love and care. Thank you!!!

Clean. Superb flavors cooked just right. Best Chinese food I have had outside Van/Rich. I am 69, eaten a lot of Chinese food and wow, try this one

Deep fried tofu is delicious. Green beans and beef with black bean sauce is perfection. Sesame coated chicken is a good alternative to a flour coating. Will be back again soon. I don't know why this place is not busier. The food is excellent.

It is a good Chinese restaurant right on the Sunshine Coast Hwy in Gibsons. Good food.

The food was delicious and the whole atmosphere was very calm and welcoming. Definitely a family favourite!

Exceeds expectations!! The roast duck is lovely.

So, if you're from the Sunshine Coast you'll know that there are limited authentic Chinese restaurants here. Sure, there are western- chinese options however I bet none of them serve congee or house made northern chinese "seu gow" which is a handmade dumpling in soup. At the Uptown Eatery, my partner and I decided to give the lunch a try. I'm originally from Toronto and am Chinese born Canadian. I know dimsum just as well as the previous reviewer (seasontraveler) however I decided to give Uptown Eatery a 5 star for their friendly service, atmosphere and selection of authentic Chinese cuisine dishes. Dim Sum: We ordered shui mai, har kau, chicken feet, wonton soup, chiu chow dumpling, xaio long bao and 1/2 of the roast duck. We were pleasantly surprised to have had all these choices on the coast. Gabriel (chef) has perfected the chilli oil, a must requested condiment! He came to visit our table and chatted with us. June our server was so accommodating and attentive. We've been recommended to try the Char Sui Bao (Roast Pork Bun) and the Poached pork dumplings the next time we come in for Dim Sum. The biggest surprise is that they have HOT POT! For $35/person you can have the best social dinner with friends. You just have to call and give notice (June says to call in and give a 4 days notice). This would be the best thing for dinner party, I highly recommend you try hot pot if you haven't had it. Service: Thumbs up to June for being so sweet and attentive Taste: I am soooo stoked to have authentic chinese food on the coast. It's delicious. Atmosphere: I enjoy their chinese new year decor. Price: Reasonable. For two we were FULL and ordered Duck for take home $70+ tips. Thanks Uptown Eatery for a pleasant surprise and delicious dim sum. I can't wait til we get to eat your green onion and ginger fried local Dungeness crab.

Amazing food. The dumplings are fresh. The green beans are tasty. The lunch combo with sweet and sour pork tastes good and served hot. We love the food and we were surprised they do serve authentic Chinese dishes in this small town. The host/ owner is so nice to our toddlers. We visit from Vancouver and we were thankful to find out this gem in Gibsons.
