“#kingcrabfeast? upscale, live fish tanks, street parking, free parkade, excellent service."Not only is it one of the recommended restaurants by Michelin Guide Vancouver, Dynasty Seafood Restaurant is also the winner of Vancouver’s Chinese Restaurant Awards in the Best Dim Sum and Best Cantonese categories in 2022. With such a profile, I had very high expectations, and Dynasty totally delivered"“
“We visited the Chinatown BBQ restaurant during our trip to Vancouver and my oh my!! The food was delicious! We got the 2 meat combo with rice and the fried rice. The roasted pork could very well be one of the tastiest I’ve ever consumed! A must visit when you are in Vancouver.“
“Dim Sum was WOW the portion size and the quality of the food was GREAT - the service was excellent and the staff was friendly and efficient. Wonderful experience.Vegetarian options: There are items on the dim sum menu that is vegetarian friendly.“
“If you are craving for dim sum but hate the crowd, you must check out 852 Kitchen.The tastes were definitely authentic and portion sizes were generous. The black truffle siu mai and shrimp dumplings had plenty of filling and were seasoned wonderfully. The HK style beef balls were bouncy and velvety smooth on the palate and the accompanying water chestnuts and cilantro accenting the meatiness to another level.We also had a great time baking the pineapple buns. From proofing to baking, it was exhilarating to watch the dough rise and their instructions were super easy to follow. Definitely the perfect breakfast item.“
“Didn't have my hopes up. I'm a highly skeptical eater at joints like this. I been around a lot of Cantonese food both good and bad. But dang, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was neither too greasy nor salty. We had a reasonably sized party so we were able to sample a wide variety of dishes from plainer veggies, soups and stronger meat dishes. Everyone always has their favourites, but each dish was done quite well. No complaints at all.Service was on par for these kind of restaurants ... so no, probably do not expect any Michelin stars here.Would recommend and I definitely wouldn't mind coming back.“
“Really great Cantonese food and the staff was very helpful walking us through some of the menu we weren’t familiar with. Definitely exceeded my expectations and was as good, if not better than some places I’ve been in NYC and San Fran. Sticky fried rice w/ chicken was the star of the evening.“
“Best vegetarian dim sum in Vancouver on Kingsway! All the food is great and so is the service! I must say that I prefer going on a week day rather than the weekend as there's usually a line up on the weekendVegetarian options: All vegetarian!!!“
“The Boss Restaurant in Vancouver's Chinatown is a delightful find, perfectly capturing the essence of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. Its convenient location is just the start. The bakery section offers an array of tempting Hong Kong-style cakes and pastries that are a real treat. The menu features delicious options like savory fried noodles, decadent French toasts, and the excellent Hong Kong-style coffee is a must-try. Don't miss out on their BBQ buns, which are simply divine. It's a wonderful spot to experience authentic Hong Kong cuisine and hospitality right in the heart of Vancouver.“
“Food court dim sum at very affordable prices. Their steamed rice wrap was very good, large and full of "liu", tasty bits of meat and mushrooms to compliment the sticky rice. January 2024: The combo with sticky rice wrap, 3 dumplings, spring roll and fried sweet dessert. was $11.50 and you can do a sweet item add-on (in our case we got the Mango Tapioca smoothie) for $2 instead of $5-$6.Decent dim sum for the lower price point so they get the 5 stars for that.“
“Hong Kong style restaurant in Chinatown. Food is good but not exceptional. Friendly service. It is on the second floor and one could easily miss it.The bakery has good selection of pastries, bread and dessert. All Hong Kong style, it may not be for everyone.“
“Very decent Chinese restaurant with great dim sum portion is good price is good. Location is very convenient and servers are very friendly and attentive.Parking spot is super tight and it’s a bit confusing. If you can park at the restaurant designated parking stall then you don’t have to register for parking and not necessary to get the parking ticket from the machineor else you can park at TNT stall, get a parking ticket and make a purchase at TNT to get 1.5 hour free parkingOr else public parking is $3 per hourParking: The restaurant only have limited designated parking spotif you park at the designated pocket spot, then you don’t have to get a parking ticket from the machine“
“Claypot booth inside the Empire food court. Parking is available in the lot outside the strip mall. As Herman E. mentioned, this place is a misnomer. There are no snacks here. They have claypots. Lots and lots of tasty claypots. I had the frog one (in Chinese it says "field chicken"). Fairly decent. The dish is on the bland side, but it does come with a dish of soy sauce. Nothing wrong with that, just more of a warning. Generous chunks of meat, and everything slid off the bone without issues. Pretty tasty. Wouldn't mind coming back to try of their other claypots.“
“We have had dim sum and regular dinners here a few times and now it’s almost the end of King Crab KC season BUT a few other restaurants we called first could not positively confirm the availability so we decided to come back to Lee Garden BBY who guaranteed they still had abundant supplies. So a day before we ordered over the phone the KC set dinner for 4 ( for the three of us)Although we have been here a few times, we didn’t know any of the staff but we were still greeted by a very welcoming manager Wallace, who showed us our crab and I took a photo to compare when it returned on dish (heard too many scams in some other restaurants which swap crabs)…. It was TGIF and there were groups of happy customers and almost every table was enjoying their KC dinners!!All the 5 dishes and the soup included in the set were very tasty and in big portion….in fact we took home the last two fish dishes and the fried rice….they lasted for another two meals….)Our favorite was the garlic KC, but the salt & pepper KC was also very yummy. All through the dinner, another manager Roy and his team continued to provide very friendly service.Our wonderful Friday evening concluded with the desserts provided and the overall bill included tips and everything (no alcohol) was a bit over $600. Looking forward to return in the next KC season!“
“Everything is perfect in this place, the food is very delicious and finely prepared, they serve Jazmin tea in a beautifully organized rounded table, we end up taking the rest to go, we just couldn't let it behind. My favourite was the tendon and the fried squid.“
“One of the best HK style noodle place....wonton...brisket..tendon..sui gow...Hainese chicken...hk style milk tea...lemon tea...it's all good..even better then some places in HK.. one of my highest recommendation.. I give them 100 out of 10..wheelchair access ..kids friendly ...plaza and street parking“
“I was referred by a friend to visit the place to try their $10.99 special. Fish filets with cream corn sauce on rice was one my childhood favorite and still is. It was absolutely delicious. Fish filets are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cream corn sauce was perfectly done. It was a very good meal for $12.10 taxed in. (How do they survive with the pricing during these times? ?). Will return to try other stuff on the menu!“
“It's a HK cafe style restaurant, menu is extensive, drink menu is typical , taste is very good to excellent, traditional HK taste which you've missed , service is excellent , extra parking is at the back of the restaurant, I don't think msg added in all dishes , highly recommended.“
“In Vancouver for a birthday celebration - saw an article in Seattle Times about the dim sum.. missed the dim sum hours so went for dinner- it’s family style- delicious well prepared -we had a person who is allergic to fish- but plenty of options that are not seafood. Highly recommend the crispy Duck. Crab so fresh you meet them before they’re prepared. Crab may be a little harder to crack with utensil because it’s covered in a delicious sauce but worth the extra effort.With a bottle of wine our meal was about $300 American..for 6 adults“
“Spacious restaurant plenty of seating but would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We had their soy sauce black cod, soy sauce marinated chicken. honey garlic ribs, as well as a vegetable dish. Food were always great and there is also underground parking around the back.“

“Fisherman's Terrace Chinese Seafood Restaurant exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect blend of modern elegance and traditional charm.Now, let's talk about the food - absolutely divine! Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and bursting with authentic flavors. The seafood selection was particularly impressive; every bite was a delight for the taste buds.The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our every need was met without being intrusive. The attention to detail truly sets Fisherman's Terrace apart from other restaurants.Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving exceptional Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend Fisherman's Terrace. It's a dining experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more. Truly deserving of five stars!“
“Very kind and active waitress and delicious foods. What I tried were good, but I think can make it better…As an Asian, I think those food quality are on average. But if you’re the one not always having Asian food, you will feel satisfied with that.“
“We had breakfast on a Monday morning:- 10am and there were people waiting in line. Good thing there were still a few empty 2-seaters available. Just party of 3 or more need waiting.- Surprisingly good service for HK-style restaurants. Waitresses asked if we need this or that even before we opened our mouths. Not just one waitress but two of them being extremely helpful and exceptionally polite. Very surprised.- Portion size is small in North American standard but considerably more than restaurants in Hong Kong. Taste is Hong Kong authentic.- Price is fair. $14.95 for a small Beef Brisket Noodle 牛腩米線 + Soy Sauce Chow Mein 豉油王炒麵 + hot coffee. $15.95 for Ham & Cheese Omelet 芝士蛋奄力 + French Toast 西多士 + Satay Beef Macaroni 沙爹牛肉通粉 + hot coffee. But if you factor in how much work need to cook these, then price is considered expensive.- All other restaurants in the plaza close on Mondays. Maybe that's why Van Tea was full when we arrived at 10am Monday morning.“
“Always delicious!! it's a family tradition that we go here every year and then head to the burnaby heritage village. Their spicy chicken wings and wonton soup are AMAZING!! and the service is great! lots of traditional dishes. The Gai Lan is great! Love “
“Awesome dim sum. Super tasty and traditional.Chive and shrimp dumplings were so good. Beef omassum was like tripe and surprisingly VERY tasty. Great bbq pork buns too!Veg shanghai buns were the one that was only ok.Desert: green tea sesame buns, and mango pudding were both great.“
“Clean place. Welcoming and accommodating waitresses. Food is delicious. Wheelchair accessible but not blind people braille chart menu yet. Recommended.Vegetarian options: There's Buddha Feast platter.Plain congéParking: City paid parking is difficult to find near by the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately there are many careless delivery people on the sidewalk riding electric bikes and scooters“
“Delicious authentic HK style Chinese food in a hole in the wall like neighbourhood restaurant. The pork jowl was delicious, sweet, tender, and snappy. The honey garlic spareribs were also the perfect blend of sweet and savoury. The crispy chicken was very juicy and even the white meat part was tender and juicy which was a pleasant surprise.The Lobster and bitter melon with beef were all done well. The soup was good too and it came with a mung bean sweet soup for dessert. The only downside is the food comes extremely slowly when the restaurant is very busy so you may wait over 30 minutes before your first dish arrives and the time between dishes being served is also long.“
“Located just outside of downtown and east of Chinatown on Hastings, stopped in to try their dim sum. Traditional push carts and or off menu is offered, dim sum items were hot and tasty. The restaurant itself is quite large and tables well spaced out, came in on a Sunday and the place was busy but we got a table within minutes. Prices were a bit higher than maybe some of the other dim sum restaurants in East Vancouver and there's no discount. Lunch for two, 4 items and tea came to approximately $50 including tax. I will come back and try dinner, I did read somewheres that the restaurant's future was on borrowed time as the site is going to be redeveloped for affordable rental housing.“
“I have come here 19 times in the past 4 years for a mix of dim sum and dinner. I even hosted an event here.Food and service are always good. Lots of parking. Price is reasonable.This is pretty much my default restaurant with my family and my recommendation for Chinese restaurant in Burnaby.Thank you for the consistent good food and service.“

“We were visiting from Toronto and wanted to try fresh seafood cooked in a Chinese way. We ordered the king crab menu. The steamed crab was amazing. We also loved the steamed egg with crab roe and the sweet and sour pork chop. The servers were friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful time at this restaurant with my family. Will definitely come again next time!“

“My family and I had dinner there and it wasn't busy since it was a later dinner. It was nice and clean there. Owner was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and portions were big and worth the money spent.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. My nephew got free treats after dinner.“
“We had stopped through Vancouver on our way to Whistler and made a reservation here. It was a bit challenging for 8 people to reserve from the states as they don't have an online form or email. I had to get my Canadian cousin to help me book it! There is a garage attached so they validate parking as long as you have the license plate. This is a more high end dim sum restaurant that impressed my party as you don't see this often in Austin. But this was very reminiscent of places I've been to in Toronto. We had ordered a lot of food and learned very quickly their dim sum portions are much larger than most. We had a lot of leftovers but everything tastes great and fresh. I loved their siu mai and the BBQ pork buns. They also have a fried ha gow which was new for me. We liked this place so much we came back a second time after our Whistler days. We knew how to order less this time around, but we did also order a spicy crab dish which they showed us the crab before it's cooked. Very flavorful and fresh! Service was not bad. It was nicer the first time around. They didn't seem as attentive the second time and we had a language barrier issue too with our waiter. Both times they forgot something we ordered, so just pay attention to the receipt because they cross items out as they are delivered.“
“From the outside, Happy Family seems like an unassuming restaurant, but stepping inside you'll come across a hidden gem of southern chinese cuisine. The waitresses that greeted us were very friendly, and accomodating to us. Even though it's my parents 3rd time here, they regarded them as regulars and treated us as honoured guests rather than customers. We ordered their specialty dishes and they were all quite good. The chicken was very chrispy and you get an explosion of flavour biting into it. The egg yolk really adds to the umami of the shrimp, and the eel rice has a generous amount of eel. Make sure to get the sticky rice at the bottom of the clay pot!“
“Enjoyed Alaska king crab dinner with friends. Less than $500 total. Enjoyed legs, noodles rice dishes. Also free range chicken and veggies. Also had chicken feet and sea cucumber. Red bean soup and osthamus jelly for dessert. Parking in front.“
“Discovered this place when I first moved to North Van a few years ago, over a number of visits - it’s quickly become my favourite in the lower mainland. The food is delicious, the service quick and the restaurant is well kept and tidy. By far the best part though is the service. The owners and staff are incredibly attentive and friendly - despite going irregularly, I am always recognized and my order is remembered - which is truly impressive given how busy they are. It’s really a rarity to receive such great service in a restaurant these days. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
