Double Dragon Restaurant
The best Chinese food on the Wells Grey route — ginger beef, house-made Shanghai noodles, potstickers, and generous portions. A Clearwater institution.
Clearwater's Chinese Kitchen
Double Dragon Restaurant has been feeding Clearwater locals and Wells Grey visitors for years, and it has earned a reputation that extends well beyond the town limits. With over 100 reviews and a food rating of 4.3 out of 5, it's one of the most consistently praised restaurants in the North Thompson Valley — and the only Chinese restaurant in Clearwater.
What sets Double Dragon apart is the quality of the cooking. The house Shanghai noodles are made in-house with a springy texture that reviewers rave about. The ginger beef is crispy, tender, and perfectly sauced. The potstickers are consistently described as "amazing." Portions are generous — multiple reviewers note that a dinner for four often leaves enough for another meal. The green tea, of all things, gets its own mentions.
The atmosphere is honest and unpretentious — a utilitarian dining room that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is: a place to get a good, hot meal. Service is fast and friendly. The kitchen clearly takes pride in what it sends out. For road-trippers heading to or from Wells Grey Provincial Park, Double Dragon is one of the best dinner options in town.
Located at 125 Clearwater Station Road, it's easy to find and open every day of the week from 11 AM to 9 PM. Takeout is available — call ahead at (250) 674-3434 and your food will be ready when you arrive.

Make the Most of Your Visit
Order the Shanghai noodles
The house Shanghai noodles are made in-house with a springy texture that sets them apart from anything you'd get at a chain. They're consistently the most praised item on the menu — don't leave without trying them.
Ginger beef is the signature
The ginger beef is the dish that gets mentioned most in reviews. Crispy, tender, and perfectly sauced — it's the reason regulars keep coming back. Order it as a starter or a main.
Potstickers sell out
The potstickers are consistently praised and can sell out on busy evenings. If you're coming for dinner on a weekend, call ahead to confirm they're available — or arrive early.
Portions are generous
Multiple reviewers note that portions are large enough to leave food for another meal. If you're ordering for a group, don't over-order — the servings are bigger than you expect.
