Honey-Bee Restaurant

You know what? It is what it is. I have both dined inside and more usually, ordered delivery. Not fine dining but i’ve never had a bad meal. Service has always been very efficient and courteous. I am happy that they are there for me when I just don’t want to cook. As I work in a high-​end steakhouse, this is often lol. May they be around for another 30 years.

Food is bad and they tried to short change me. Don’t go, but if for some reason you have a gun to your head and must eat here… at least count your change.

The only reason I am giving a 2 star is they use decent chicken in their food. Food is bland and sauces are extremely mild. I had to put soy sauce, vinegar and salt in everything I took home. May be it’s just me but I have been eating chinese for the past 8 years in north america and I believe they can do much better.
There was lots celery in everything and it was hard to chew. When I removed the celery I had hardly anything to eat on my plate.

This place definitely wasn’t as horrible as I was expecting based on the other reviews. Food was definitely ok, your typical Americanized type Chinese food but it was all prepared well.
We had the lemon chicken — large breaded cutlets, they used white meat (yay!) and asked for the lemon sauce on the side (it was the typical yellow fluorescent type junk but tasty). We also had a beef dish in black bean sauce and an egg fried rice.
Service was quick and efficient, however we were the only ones eating at 6pm so we had the waitress all to ourselves.
Was basically as expected. Seems to be more of a take out joint type of place but the seating inside was fine, and a tiny patio at the front.

My boyfriend was looking at going to a chinese food restaurant that is near by our house and we get to the restaurant (and its about 30 or more degrees outside) they have opened the windows and doors so it isn’t too likely they we would cool down while eating our food. I’m not a fan of chinese food but I went for my boyfriend as well as they had «canadian food» options.
I ordered the Fish and Chips (which I started out not having great expectations) they bring out on a tiny plate my fish and chips which wasn’t bad but the plate was so small the fish managed to slip off my plate and onto shirt leaving a nice grease stain. I would also hope that for 8.50 maybe I would leave full, I didn’t find my meal filling.
My boyfriend ordered Combo 3 and he didn’t really like it. It wasn’t too little money for the amount that he spent and the chicken balls had a tiny portion of chicken, some had air bubbles and a lot of batter. He didn’t enjoy the meal he left feeling ripped off and still hungry

For Canadian Chinese food it meets all of my expectations. I love the homestyle tofu and always look forward to ordering it. They have this style of cuisine down to a science. One time I even got a takeout hamburger and fries there which was quite decent, except I wanted extra ketchup for the fries and he put it all on the hamburger!

You know what? I had really low expectations going in… so that helps.
This place was just fine! It’s been in the Beach for 30 years… amazing!
I was feeling too lazy to cook, and it was nearing 8 p.m., so we went to
and looked at our options. I don’t think Mr. Rosie S. and I have ordered Chinese delivery for ourselves EVER (lots of other types of delivery food, but somehow never Chinese… weird).
Honey Bee also has a Richmond, BC location, though I don’t know which is the original.
We ordered Spring Rolls (veg) and Egg Rolls (meaty) for $ 1.50 each to start as well as the Honey Garlic Spare Ribs app ($ 9.75). I wasn’t sure about what would be included, so we also ordered a couple of orders of steamed rice ($ 1.75ea) just in case (I threw leftovers into a chicken soup today). Turned out we didn’t need it! The Spring Rolls could have used more seasoning or flavouring of some kind, but they were totally passable. I was also starving… so I basically inhaled them.
I got the «Mixed Vegetable Lo Mein Chow Mein» (I know, but that’s really what it’s called) for $ 8.95 and Mr. Rosie S. got the «Chicken and Mixed Vegetables» for $ 9.25.
They sent six fortune cookies and TONS of soy sauce and plum sauce packets. Nice! No chopsticks, though, which I thought was odd.
It arrived EXTREMELY piping hot — highest temperature delivery food I’ve ever had! Love that.
However, most of the vegetables (carrots, broccoli, onion, celery, mushrooms, bean sprouts, baby corn, bean sprouts, many of which I suspect were canned) were undercooked and everything was a bit greasier than I would like. That said, we were both full and not sick at the end of the meal, and there were lots of leftovers. Total bill came to $ 45.71 with tax.
No doubt we’ll order from here again, which cannot be said for many of the take-​out and delivery places we’ve tried around our ‘hood!

Standard «Chinese-​Canadian» mall food at Beaches prices is how I sum up this place. Almost everything is deep fried and covered in red sauce. I’ve eaten their food on several occasions due to it’s next door proximity to my friends place and my random need to eat. The food is blah and seasoned to only the most delicate WASP palate.
You could bring your great-​great-​grandmother here so she could taste the orient and she would be pleased, however to my own fault I haven’t liked «Chinese» food like this since I was 4 years old and would try to drink the red sauce straight.
What I find most offensive about this place is that they don’t have deep fried chilli squid… The staple of almost another place like this and when you ask for it they look at you sideways and say «NO SQUID»

This place for food is just ok. Me and my boyfriend went here one night after we found out that our regular chinese place was closed. It was a little over priced for what we got but not the worst I’ve seen, normally you would get more dishes for the price. However we were hungry and happily took our dinner home, we started eating and found the food to be quite bland although it might be good if you perhaps were intoxicated and were hungry. The food ended up even worse because my boyfriend found a long hair in his food — or should I say his mouth. Can we say GROSS? If there was no hair I’d probably give it a 2.

Ok, this restaurant is very nice inside. I’m all about the décor. The food was really really boring. Service was good, very helpful. If you live nearby on the Avenue strip, it’s a handy place to pop into. I recommend any male wanting to get a quick drink with a buddy, or by himself to watch some sports, its a good place for that.
