Luong’s Restaurant

This place is good if all you want is small-​town Chinese/​Canadian food. Pretty greasy, but good prices. There’s a weekend buffet as well. Most locals still refer to Luong’s as Tai Woo, the former name of this place.
There are, however, two things that stand out on the menu: hot & sour soup, and the Singapore noodles.
The hot & sour soup is loaded with veggies, it’s got a thick broth and is homemade. It’s around $ 8 for a bowl but will fill you up. I used to get it at least once a week on lunchbreaks.
The Singapore noodles are a bit spicy, and about $ 11, but this dish will feed 2 – 3 people. It’s not greasy like most dishes at Luong’s.
Don’t order a combo, get one of these two things. Unless you like greasy, standard NS Chinese food or clubhouse sandwiches with fries.

We arrived into the outskirts of Shelburne around 9PM on a Saturday night and checked into our motel first. We asked the desk clerk if there was anyplace in town to grab some dinner and we were told Tim Horton’s 24 – 7 out on Hwy 103 was open. I like Tim Horton’s, but for coffee and light fare only. We were starving after a long drive!
We drove into town, pitch black outside and every place looked closed, except for a couple takeout pizza places and mini marts, and then we saw Luong’s Restaurant. We decided to take our chances with Chinese food in this sleepy town. Luong’s was still serving food until 10PM!
The dining room looks very homey, wood walls painted red, green, and white, assorted Chinese décor, and red covered table seating, very X-​mas like.
The menu offers Chinese and Canadian cuisine (sandwiches & comfort foods), but we stuck to the Chinese food. I got a combo plate of chicken chow mein, sweet & sour shrimp, fried rice & and egg roll. Most of the food was decent, dishes made to order, except for the egg roll, which was the kind I’d buy at the surpermarket and filled with hot oil.
Luong’s Restaurant saved us from having to settle for Tim Horton’s for dinner. The meal was decent, far from Vancouver quality Chinese food, but good enough for us after a long day. The service was good and the price was right, $ 22.30 before HST & tip for two Chinese combo dinners and two diet pops. We did go to Tim Horton’s afterwards for coffee.
