Reviews


CC's, also known as The Capilano Heights Restaurant or the Lion Forest, has been a beloved North Shore staple since 1972. With a unique dining room nestled in the forest near the Cleveland Dam, this family-owned business has been a favorite for three generations. While some recent reviews have criticized the declining quality of food and service, many loyal customers still appreciate the classic Chinese dishes done well, such as the Sweet and Sour Pork and Ginger Beef. The restaurant, although in need of some updates, continues to offer a warm and inviting atmosphere. With plans for renovations and a possible reopening in a new location, many are hopeful that CC's will return to its original wonderful state. Despite some mixed reviews, CC's remains a popular choice for those looking for good food and a unique dining experience, on average, Capilano Heights Chinese Restaurant has been rated as 3.6.
