Can you give a place a 10 star review? Cause, damn. This place deserves all the stars. It's tiny, and obviously a basement suite kitchen, but the music and food are on point. The lady running it helped us decide and pointed out that she did cold teas for summer. Then she went into her tiny kitchen and cooked up a storm. I got the dumplings and my sister went for the rice noodles. Both dishes were steaming hot when they hit the table and were obviously freshly made. No frozen things here! She also listened to allergy concerns and made sure to address them. In conclusion, I want to tell everybody about this place, but also don't want to share as it so awesome.

Went back after not having gone for a while, and the food was as excellent as I remember. There is such a variety in tea, I can't wait to try them all. There are a few menu items, all which are tasty. They do not use onions and garlic which does not affect the flavors at all. Highly recommend.

Yum! Had a craving for dumplings and was not dissapointed. We shared four dishes and some tea and everything was fantastic. Friendly service, quiet.

The owner of this restaurant is a sweet lady who explained the meaning of How Shang Shway in the English words and also Chinese characters! She took pride in the food she prepared for us - which was incredibly delicious. She asked us where we were from and how we found out about the restaurant. There was a whole menu of tea to choose from and a small menu for food - which is good. I would highly recommend a stop here and sit outside and look out at the lake if possible.

A hidden gem in Nelson! Must visit if you want an affordable and fairly priced meal that is delicious and nutritious. The teas are a great pairing and both the summer and red barley tea were refreshing on a hot day. Sit on the deck and enjoy lunch with a view of the mountains. Bring cash as they don't take card. Wonderful and genuine service from the owners. Will be back!!

Gets my vote for best restaurant in the Kootenays.✅

Great little Asian place with a patio! The five element curry was delicious and nutritious. Will return.

First time and won't be the last. Simple, 'homecooked' food with a tonne of familiar flavours. Restaurant has chill mom and pop vibes, and whether you're vegan or not, you should come here for the soup noodles and potstickers at the very least. Cold teas were also delicious. Whole meal was pretty cheap compared to trendier restaurants in town.

I love restaurants that offer an experience to go with the food. The cute couple who own the place were very attentive and gave us some information about Taiwan and veganism there. The restaurant is not fancy, but it is cozy, and there is a good selection of teas. The food is home cooked and I had it for leftovers two days later and it was still delicious.

KK&Dee you simply must come here. Everyone should make a stop. Best Chinese food in Nelson. If you’re craving Asian food, this place is comforting. The dumplings are a must. Also had the Mapo Tofu, which had great flavours. Not your usual Mapo Tofu, but a good homey version. Tofu chunks were big, but had a light crisp and soft inside. Pineapple fried rice was also flavourful and delicious. On a hot day, the lemon honey orange drink will quench your thirst. Super refreshing and reminds me of a tasty marmalade. Wish I took a photo of the other things, but got swept up in the moment. Will come back the next time we’re in Nelson.
