  The food is amazing. The fried prawns are delicious, this is a must order. Great Egg fried rice and a beef fennel fried rice. Enjoyed all the beef dishes and lamb dishes. Really a must try.

  Na Jia is a higher end Chinese restaurant located by the Granville bridge on Beach Ave.  It's a chain restaurant from Beijing, and we decided to come here since the food in the Beijing location was excellent.
  
  We went here for Valentine's dinner.  We were promptly seated and the given the menu.  The menu is nicely created and the tea was hot.  We decided to order the Peiking duck, emporer's soup, pork fried noodles, stirred fried vegetables and mushrooms, dairy fish, and eggplants and cod.  The bill was about $215 after tax.
  
  I will be honest and say the food here was not as good as Beijing.  For a higher end restaurant, I failed to find the dishes ability to support or justify the prices.  Perhaps another disappointing measurement was the level of poor service.  It took 15 minutes to place our order, and they forgot to bring our noodles - our noodles came at the same time as the table beside us, which ordered 30 minutes after us, and also our bill had two separate noodles.
  
  The Peiking duck was good, but a little too much meat on the skin.  It was crispy and not salty.  I don't know what happened to the rest of the duck, but I don't believe there was an option to use it (usually you get to order lettuce wrap or a stir fry with the duck meat).  I don't believe it justified its $88 price tag.  The noodles were bland, and lacked any flavour.  The vegetables were just fried vegetables with garlic - a Chinese staple dish.  The soup was excellent, as it had sharkfin, abalone and variety of fish parts.  The flavour was spot on, but difficult to spend 40$ on one bowl of soup.  The best dish was the eggplant and cod - full of flavours and the cod was crispy, yet covered in sauce.
  
  Overall, the food was average and the service was poor.  For the price, there's many other options out there to explore.

  Came here for a business lunch meeting and was pleasantly surprised! My guest ordered for us, as he grew up in Beijing, and knew best.
  
  The place was beautifully decorated with ornate details and rich colours, which my guest explained to me is because of the royal history of Beijing.
  
  The house special tofu was amazing, the gelatin fish with honey was refreshing, loved the delicate tea that was served too. We also shared the sour plum drink, seafood supreme soup with abalone (good, but in my opinion not worth the cost), a yam dish, pork and shrimp dumplings (off the dim sum menu, they were delicious!), sticky rice in banana leaf, the tofu dessert (it was savoury! My favorite part of the meal).
  
  Unfortunately 3 dishes we first asked for off the menu were unavailable.
  
  For two, our lunch bill was $130 before tip. Not a cheap place, but well worth it for a true Beijing cuisine experience in Vancouver.

  The restaurant is nice looking but it ends there. Service was not good, it took them forever to even notice we were waiting. We should have known at that point it wouldn't be a good experience. The food was super spicy even though the waiter told us it wouldn't be. I have had these dishes many times at other restaurants but this time I was very disappointed. I don't remember ever having tasteless (other than the heat) Asian food.

  I love how the inside makes you feel like you've been transported to ancient China. I also love that their menu is a picture menu so you know exactly what you're getting. The food was quite interesting and I'd be down to come again to try more of their other dishes since I've only sampled a few this time. The only reason why I'm giving them 3/5 stars is because I felt the price point for many of their dishes on the menu were on the high side.
  
  I recommend getting the crispy prawns. They are amazing!
