Like many Chinese restaurants, dining rooms are close and have to rely on delivery and take out. Chef James on Hastings is only during take out at the moment and we saw an ad in the Chinese paper for a great promotion when you order. I’ve never dined at Chef James on Hastings, but only heard raving reviews from customers. It was my dad’s birthday and we would normally go out to a Chinese restaurant to have dinner, that isn’t possible because of Covid-19. We opted to order take out.
It’s a pretty good promotion. No indication when it ends, but when you call to make you order, just say you saw it on the paper and on their Instagram.
- Order $35+ and get free Hai Nam Chicken on Rice
- Order $60+ and get a free Half Hai Nam Chicken
- Order $80+ and get a free Curry Beef Brisket
It’s definitely a difficult time for all restaurants, so we try to do take out a few times a week to support local restaurants.
We ordered the items below:
- Daily Soup
- Deep Fried Crispy Whole Chicken
- Peking-style Pork Chop
- Pan-Fried Pea Leaves with Garlic sauce
- Tofu and Rock Cod Hot Pot
- Gai-Lan with Beef
- Curry Beef Brisket
All the items were pretty good and we ordered enough for 7 adults. As this was takeout, the Deep Fried Crispy Whole Chicken wasn’t crispy anymore by the time it arrived, but it’s bound to happen. None the less, we loved everything else that we ordered. It was nice to have a Chinese meal together where we didn’t have to cook it.
Plus, the Curry Beef Brisket was definitely a highlight.
Final Thoughts
They only do online orders for pick up and delivery for a certain area. As we are outside of the area, we decided to pick up.
Hopefully once the pandemic is over, we can go dine inside Chef James on Hastings to experience what it is like inside the restaurant.
