Food was good but not worth the mark up. Well made and better than avg. The problem is the portion and price. These type of food are street food in China, every Chinese person knows, yet they want to sell it for higher end price range. We are not big eaters but the portion of food for 1 order (unlike other places with similar items) will not keep full for a full meal. I will say avg person will have to spend around 20-30 to feel full. The price makes me feel like they are forcing...read full review
Delicious fresh dumplings made fresh to order so be patient while waiting for your food. Food is fairly priced and very tasty. The XLBS and pan fried dumplings were great.
I enjoyed an excellent meal here at Colour See See. The dishes here included a combo with xiao long bao and a wonton soup. The xiao long bao was pork and very excellent.

Colour See See 上海本色 is a Shanghainese restaurant serving authentic and fresh dim sum. The menu may not be extensive, but every dish is well-made and flavorful. The xiaolongbao and shenjianbao are particularly notable, with great fillings and crispy exterior. Many customers consider it the best authentic Shanghainese XLB in Vancouver, praising the owner from Shanghai who makes these dishes. Prices are reasonable, and the food is generally fresh and tasty. Service is quick, but dishes are made fresh to order, so there may be a wait. Visitors have enjoyed the soup dumplings, fried dumplings, and wonton for lunch. However, takeout might cause some food to become soggy due to the wax-coated boxes. While some experience issues with incorrect orders or missing items, overall, the small, cozy space remains a true gem, making it a good spot for a casual meal.
