Shanghainese Restaurants near Burnaby, BC

“I ordered here tonight for first time from Color See See not sure if it cause on receipt it says 4 when it should be 8 since the menu says 4 per order pan fried buns. I ordered double but only got one order. Have no idea how to get refund for the almost 9.00 dollars though. Tried the email on the receipt and it's invalid. I spent over $70 so disappointed I didn't get what I ordered. Food was tasty but I don't recommend take out as the boxes are wax coated trapping the steam in making the some of the food soggy. Despite this I'll probably try them again even though there others near by. Prices are great and food is fresh and flavorful.“

“Spent a few hours in the Crystal Mall on a Wednesday, and was so disappointed to see that Shanghai Dim Sum was closed for the day, my favorite XLB shop.Oh well, we ate some other delicious things, the standout was the shengjian bao, pan fried pork buns from Shanghai Fortune Cuisine. It was lined up and everyone in the rooms seemed to be eating them.Wow, they were good. Crispy on the bottom, tender on top, full of soup and pork. Delicious. Staff is friendly too!I think I found a new favorite.“

“The OG XLB place in Crystal Mall. The dumplings are made from scratch, with nicely sized portions for today's prices. Juicy and flavourful with every bite, with the dough not being too tough or chewy.

If I'm here and want a tasty snack, I always walk over to the end of the food court. I never even knew the name; to me, it was just the yellow stand at the end, but I always recommended it to anyone.“

“The food was great. My favourite is the Shanghai dumpling, they use a thin wrapper which isn’t doughy. The fish in batter with seaweed was also one of my favourite! The duck on the other hand was very dry. You can never go wrong with the Shanghai fried noodle as well! Definitely would come again!“

“We ordered the dan dan noodles (spicy), fried bean-paste noodles, and wontons in chili sauce. I had high expectations for the fried bean-paste noodles and wontons, but surprisingly, the dan dan noodles ended up being our favorite. I’m usually not a big fan of dan dan noodles, but these were very creamy, nutty, and moreish! They weren’t spicy for us, though.
The lady who took our order seemed a bit concerned that two of us were ordering three dishes, but I didn’t find the portion sizes overly large—three dishes were just right without making us feel too full.

Overall, I really enjoyed their food and would love to come back to try other dishes.
One thing to note: they only accept cash, not even debit, so come prepared!“
