Cantonese Restaurants near New Westminster, BC

“It's a really good Chinese restaurant. We go there for late lunch on Saturday. I don't know what to order. I see the chicken with broccoli chow mein looking good on my next table. So I just tell the staff I want this one on the other table. She tells me that the one I want has lunch special. It's a good deal. It costs only $14.95 for it. Thank you for the friendly and helpful staff.
Since we are too hungry, I forget to take pictures.
I also order one veggies stream dumpling and congee. The dumplings are so good and fresh. It's even better than the big dim sum restaurants in Vancouver.
I will come back for it soon.
I can only take some pictures outside the restaurant. The food are just as good as the pictures showing there.“

“After walking past the broken irrigation system and entering inside. You will be greeted and directed to a waiting area which is a bit uncomfortable seating looks nice but very rigid, you will be forced into a proper posture.

The food is very quick and fresh to arrive almost as if the chef is at the table with you.

Wait staff very quick to make sure your table stays clean, had to ask they stop changing my plate so often, kind of funny but a but distracting when you are chatting with your group. I did very much appreciate the humor they had when coming around very welcoming with the humor of an uncle or a sibling, a gentle tease or offering to do somthing ridiculous like well if you dont like the filling in the sesame bun I can remove it for you no charge and give you back the bun with no filling.“

“Good food, great service, good vibes

Service was great, better than most Chinese restaurants.

Decorations was good for the most part.

Food is good, love the Siu Mai, baked bbq pork bun, one of the best in greater Vancouver. Other dishes are average, even it says it is their specialty dishes“

“Good food! Yummy!“

“The food at Joyful Seafood Restaurant was top notch. I want to say it’s the best Chinese seafood restaurant in Greater Vancouver. The customer service level was excellent. Manager Sam was very helpful in helping us choosing a fresh rockfish as dinner. It was the freshest seafood I ever had. Kudos to all the waiters and waitresses. The quality of the lunch dim sum was also top notch. I definitely highly recommend Joyful Seafood restaurant.“

“We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food coming out from the kitchen, which was unexpected considering we thought they only specialized in bbq meat! The lobster sticky rice was the best we’ve had in Vancouver so far and the seafood tasted so fresh. We ordered a combination dinner for our party and it was more than enough food for 10 of us. The food came out quickly and the service was decent. They even threw in a plate of bbq (roasted duck, cha siu, siu yuk, chicken) for us on the house! We will definitely come here for dinner again, as we felt it was a hidden gem for great Canto food!“

“Live in New Westminster, but will still make a point to come here, during non peak hours for dining or take out. Their food is very good. Generous portions and alot less or no MSG. We like their wontons BBQ pork noodles.( Huge wontons and a la dente noodles). Their chow fun- stir fry rice noodles is delicious. The rice noodles are not mushy. Their hot pots are good. Seen some reviews and said service is rude. They often short staff or don't have enough on during peak hours, so we are just a bit more patient with them and say our ' please and thank yous ' plus give them a good tip. I know it is appreciated by them.“

“We had a lucheon provided by our agency for about 20 people. The assortment and quality of food was top notch. The food was hot and fresh with an abundance for seconds and thirds plus left overs. lol Everyone was very satisfied. Thanks to Chris and also the staff at Top Wok!!!“

“Spacious, quality food and decent enough decor makes it a gathering place for an upper-end Asian meal in Surrey“

“Wanted to make my 1st review for this very good food & services cafe.

Before entering the cafe, reading all the reviews got no expectation. So no photos.

We ordered stir fry noodles, sandwiches milk tea and lemon tea.

All were fresh. The sandwiches were very good. The noodles were not too oily nor salty, ordered mini size but enough. Milk tea was good. Prices ok.

Services were exceptional good too. Asked if food ok, how was it. Very nice indeed.

We were no relation to it. Just wanna to reverse others ; this cafe is a gem. Don’t over demand a cafe to be a Michelin one. Value for money. Will be back.“

“Upstairs in food court of Crystal mall. Always filling. Had beef choy fun with veggies. A little on wet side. Had it again today. Lots of veggies. Have to try their chow mein. Fast service. Had beef brisket noodles today. Beef a bit tough. Today wife had sticky rice and happy. Came again for beef veggie chow fun. Ready in five minutes. A bit goopy but ok. Came again. We had beef chow fun, rice rolls and chicken chow mein. All delicious“

“This is our go-to restaurant whenever we don’t know where to go, we know the food here will always satisfy our cravings! I highly recommend the clay pot rice, it’s a must have! The rice is crispy on the outside and so flavourful with their customized sauce and meats! Just make sure to order it right away since it takes about 30 minutes to make.“

“I’ve been to pretty much all the Neptune locations, and the Brentwood one is by far my favorite!!! Whenever my boyfriend and I can’t decide where to eat, we can always count on Neptune Brentwood for consistently great-tasting dishes. They’ve just never let us down.

Leon is the best!!! He really knows his stuff and has a true gourmet’s touch. He only recommends the freshest, highest-quality dishes and never tries to upsell. I love how passionate he is about what he does; you can tell he genuinely enjoys his work and is always happy to see returning guests.

My new favorites are the black truffle chicken and the black pepper Wagyu beef with cucumber. The Wagyu dish is so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. And of course, my all-time favorites are their dim sums, especially the rice rolls, which are honestly the best I’ve had at any dim sum place. I also highly recommend the Long Dan fish served in two courses, which is ideal for two people. For just $70, you can choose two different cooking styles. I usually go for a stir-fried version for the first course, which comes with a mix of fresh veggies, while still letting the fish’s natural umami shine through. For the second course, I go for the richer option: the fish is fried until crispy outside and tender inside, then simmered in a hot pot. It’s the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins - a truly well-rounded, satisfying meal to me

If you’re not sure what to order, just trust Leon. Share your preferences, and he’ll curate a fantastic meal that’s sure to delight your palate. His service is exceptional and really elevates the whole experience.

Special shoutout to the lovely Ada, who always reminds me not to forget my things ever since I left my purse there on my first visit lol. I also really appreciate how seriously she takes customer feedback. The first time I tried their dessert soup, I found it a bit too sweet and casually mentioned it to her. The next time I ordered it, I was pleasantly surprised by how perfectly balanced it was. I later learned Ada had personally tried it and asked the kitchen to adjust the sugar level. It might seem like a small thing, but it made me feel truly valued as a customer.

There are so many great restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area, and with new spots popping up all the time, it’s tempting to try something new. But for me, Neptune Brentwood is that one place I’ll always come back to for the incredible dining experience, warm vibe, attentive service, and above all, the delicious food.

So, thank you, Neptune Brentwood! This five-star review is long overdue, but so well-deserved.“

“Next to Tom’s Video. In fact, this restaurant took over big section of Tom’s when they downsized. The food is excellent here. Had the king crab special since it is in season now (spring time). Service was very good. Staff regularly came around to change out your plate for a clean one. Reservations recommended. It was very busy and vibe was lively.“

“We come here often because it's close to our family. The food is very standard dim sum, nothing special. I usually order the pan fried turnip cakes - it's usually really delicious but the last few times it has been dry, flavorless and bland. The rice rolls are a little too dry as well. They do have delicious baked BBQ pork buns though and their fried dishes are usually good.

The service is always 👍. They're very personable and friendly, and very efficient.

Go in the morning. It gets extremely busy once 1130am comes around.“

“They had really good food, comfortable sitting, and the staff were really nice. Definitely recommend!“

“Stopped by for a snack after getting some groceries and they had the best original rice rolls we've ever had! The soy sauce wasn't too salty, the rolls were perfectly tender yet slightly springy, and the sesame seed topping was a nice touch. Really liked the side of peanut sauce & oyster sauce too!“

“Love my neighbourhood cheung fun & congee place! The best comfort food you’ll need after a long week or on rainy cozy weather, like a warm fuzzy hug! They also have bomb fried noodles dishes & rice roll hot pot! & may is the kindest person x“

“湯好正冇味精真材實料好方便👍😋 點心及其他菜式都好好味 送上門的服務非常好又客氣👏😋😍. Leftover Freeze pack of healthy soup, adding some water and boiling, so good 👍😋🙏“

“best bbq meat, it's all delicious. a treat ✨️“

“Great Chinese food, generous portions & fab bakery.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid. Always good value and food tastes great. Braised beef brisket hot pot is very tender. If you don't get the black bean sauce for the chow mein, the flavor will be milder. The chow mein noodles are nice and crispy and absorbs the sauce well. I'll continue to come here.

Parking: Can be hard to find parking during the afternoon and early evening“

“Nice, spacious restaurant with quick and delicious service. I have been coming here and ordering food from here for decades now and I recommend it. The Buddha's Feast dish is very good and their noodle dishes are great regardless of the combo. I recommend Beef Chow Fun as well.“

“Clean and proper 'cha chaan teng'/HK style cafe. My family has been coming here for over 15+ years and always get the baked Portuguese Chicken Rice, HK style French toast, and Sizzler combo set. Portions are generous, taste is consistent, and service is quick.“

“The Happy New Year dinner table for 10 people was great value and delicious. Nancy communicated and booked the menu in advance and was attentive and thoughtful. All the service staff were very kind during the meal. It deserves a five-star rating. Thank you~“
