50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Richmond

“Josie at Haidilao Richmond is great! She was incredibly attentive, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. Her warm attitude and genuine care made the dining experience enjoyable. Josie went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you’re dining here, hope you’re lucky enough to have her as your server!“

“Spacious seating, yummy food and good value. My son loves this place!“

“The yummiest tofu & always consistently fresh & delicious!!! I’ve been coming to this establishment forever! Love ❤️ coming here while in Richmond! This place has been 20 years running, never close !!!! Love your dishes!“

“Great place for dinner or lunch. I had the beef noodle soup was great“

“- family run business - was highly recommended to this place and only ate there after the 2nd visit as lineup was too long - a food court place with just a few eateries in the Admiralty centre in Richmond - famed for wonton noodle , hainan chicken rice and hk style milk tea and iced lemon tea - there’s also crispy Chinese donut (油炸鬼&牛俐蘇) in the next stall - wonton noodle was crisp, springy and not soft and mushy and good size of wonton wrapped in shrimp and pork ) soup based was commendable - chicken is tender and the portion fairly sized - hainan chicken can be ordered in a set with rice , Chinese green - combination sets range from $11 with a drink - deep fried crisp fish skin is also a must try - was told that family sometime closes for trips - only stall in there with a lineup - very reasonably priced - we bought the deep fried fish skin home for the rest of the family to try and it was still tasty and crisp in the evening“

“Her recipes are a joke. She uses pre packaged crap that is full of sugar, fat, salt, etc. for everything she makes. She does ridiculous stuff for content & comments because her cooking skills are sub par & juvenile. If anyone is looking for cooking tips or recipes THIS IS NOT THE PAGE TO GO TO. This woman couldn't cook her way out of a paper bag.“

“Last night had a 👅 tongue numbing dinner at 一品川菜 at your typical Richmond establishment, cash only and medicore service. Their dishes had just enough pungency and spiciness from the liberal use of bold and flavorful chili peppers.
You can taste salty, sour, sweet, bitter, smoky, etc... nothing fancy here and don't expect much except yummy food“

“Decent place to try out for hotpot. Affordable prices. Good to try out if u want skewers and hotpot into the same pot. Wish there was a variety of beef types to try. Also disappointed that this place doesn’t offer free dessert, it cost an additional fee for the ice cream.“

“Food court style Taiwanese takeout. Food was quite good, but had to wait 35minutes for my order. People ordering after me got their food, ate, and left before I received mine. Told it’s coming , I’m next , over and over. Line ups to order was also long. Been here before and usually ended up waiting and waiting.

Parking: Parking in the lot was very difficult, lots of parking available but even more cars waiting. Parkade is available but very tight turns.“

“Spicy Pro Hot Pot 8542 Granville St, Vancouver, BC V6P 4Z7 Spicy Pro Hot Pot brings a unique and thoroughly enjoyable new dining experience to our neighborhood of Marpole. The aroma of the soup bases wafting from the modest storefront will stop you in your tracks and draw you inside. After choosing from a wide array of ingredients to add to one of three delicious soup bases, you can relax and enjoy the fun and cozy ambiance while the kitchen prepares your dish. When it arrives at your table in a generously large and elegant serving bowl you will immediately notice the care with which it has been assembled. Presentation is not lacking here and the money is being spent in the right place: the kitchen! I and my partner are not light eaters, and we come away stuffed and blissed-out for less than $50. The staff provide patient and thoughtful assistance to new customers choosing their ingredients and spice level for the first time. We love spicy food and usually order things hot, but the mild level is just right for us here.“

“Nous venons du Québec, et pendant les vacances de Noël, j'ai voyagé en Colombie-Britannique avec les membres de ma famille, en appréciant la nourriture chinoise épicée à Richmond, un excellent service et un environnement harmonieux, une nourriture savoureuse, bien que notre anglais ne soit pas très bon, ils sont très amicaux pour nous servir, nous l'apprécions, en tout cas c'est restaurant incroyable.“

“First time hot potting. The waiter was so helpful and the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again!“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“I had visiting American cousins with kids in town. They mention they had some good Dan Dan somewhere and wanted to try it again. Dan Dan was okay. The chicken dish was really good. The preserved pork with Chinese cauliflower was okay. I would come back for the chicken dish again. This place is very authentic. They weren't able to adjust the spicy level to be less.“

“If you’re looking for the original owner of the Prata-Man Express on Capstan Way, look no further! He’s here!! The owner sold his restaurant 3 years ago due to not being able to find enough staff to accommodate the size, so he humbly has a food stall here at this food court. I hear the restaurant on Capstan Way is no longer what it used to be due to change of ownership.

I prefer this set up as he specializes only in the best dishes, which is the Hainanese chicken rice, the curry beef brisket, roti with curry sauce and the Malaysian milk tea. Sometimes when a menu is too large in size, it diminishes the quality. With having a few items on the menu, you know it’s going to be good!

The taste of the seasoned rice, house soup (full of collagen/creamy fat taste due to the bones from the chicken), and everything else was just perfect. Like old school cooking back from the 80’s. The chicken is tender, and de-boned, so barely any bones you have to deal with. It comes with a generous size of the ginger/green onion dip and sweet chili sauce. They were so kind to cut the takeout box without us even asking so my boyfriend and I could have an extra “plate.” $24 fed us both and we were so full :)

Please note, the Malaysian milk tea does not have pearls, and is served sweet with rock sugar. It has a great balance of tea and floral taste.

The owner is very generous with his portions and is like talking to a relative, and his staff working in the back kitchen work diligently.

Help support this small business and they are worthy of a nice tip! I hope they stay around for a long time.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Yin Ji Chang Fen restaurant! The rice beef roll was incredibly fresh, with top-quality vegetables, and the meat tasted so fresh. The packaging was secure, and the delivery was timely with a tight seal. The customer service was excellent – all the staff greeted me warmly, and the take-out pickup was smooth. Highly recommend for both the food and the service!“

“I always come here every week,love their xlb and the pork fried bun, it's so my taste. The staff are super friends and they recognize me. Always so bright and have a big smile on their face. Foods are so delicious always so fresh when I orders it.“

“I’ve had friends that told me they use frozen fish here and I don’t know the legitimacy of that claim, but I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious to me. I am a texture type of person and I loved how tender the fish here was, it also tasted fine to me. The side dishes are not bad either and I would definitely come back.
The decor is really cute as well and I the theme of the whole restaurant, as well as the extra interactive toys that you can play with on the table.“

“The burger bun was crispy and savory, the pork cooked and seasoned to perfection and the biang biang noodles came in the most delicious spicy sauce! Will definitely come back to try the rest of their menu, although it’s not too easy to order in English. Well worth the visit!“

“I tried this place for the first time yesterday. I had the special cheeseburger with egg . The patty was a good size and fresh meat not frozen, I will definitely go back ! I checked out the other menu items and I am looking forward to trying many of them , the prices are great !“

“This was a bucket list restaurant during our Vancouver trip. The decor and ambience were on point. The menu was a bit hard to find on the table, and we didn't order too much as we got there quite late, not enough for a proper meal anyways. But what we ordered was very very authentic. Don't forget to get the matcha ice cream cone after for free ?“

“Great food and very good service, better than lots of Chinese restaurant out there“

“Lunch special all you can eat with a bento box $17.99- price increased. Can opt for lunch take out box which is $11.99 but is just a three item bento box. Prob a much better deal for someone who can’t eat that much. I paid for the $18 but couldn’t even go for second serving. Food on the greasy side but overall ok quality. Also no need to tip as it is half self served.“

“Great food small clean restaurant“

“Seafood was very fresh definitely one of the freshest! Though, the rice can be slightly more seasoned with soy sauce and a bit of dark soy sauce, and scallops can use a bit more steamed fish soy sauce as well for better flavor while retaining its freshness (like the ones I had in Hong Kong).

Services was very efficient, Asian-level efficiency for sure.“

“The logo looks like a deli/meat store but it’s actually part of a chain. I haven’t tried the others (all a bit different) but this one came highly recommended by our foodie friends. Food: 5/5 - They have 12 must-order dishes including a fried eggplant 🍆 which was SO GOOD. A blast of flavour including spicy, savoury, sweet, and herb-y🌿? It was lightly fried and not too oily. Basically I loved it. Our second dish was not from the must-try only because I’m a huge sucker for sour-spicy clear noodles of any type. Although it was not as good as my favourite version of this dish from the Aberdeen food court (Sichuan style) HOWEVER Richie could actually eat this one because it wasn’t as spicy haha🔥. Essentially a “lighter” version but still packed with flavour. It came on a hard-to-reach, raised bowl but I think that’s easy enough to tweak. The restaurant is still new and feeling things out. Our last dish was an omu-rice mapo tofu (lol) and Richie loved it, “It hits the right flavour in every way - not too salty, not too spicy, great tangy-ness, a little oily but immensely appetizing.” The manager said that they make the chili oil and spices from scratch. Prior to our visit we also tried their “sauce duck” or 酱鸭 which is a “thick” soy sauce, sweet duck (think Cantonese/HK roasted duck but sweet) which might not be for everyone but it’s interesting and worth trying if you like food that’s both sweet and salty. There’s also a Nanjing salted duck that we’ll try next time😊. Service: 4/5 - There was only one server aside from the manager today but both were wonderful at checking in and very quick to react to our needs. It’s also the first weekend of “dining-in” again so I wouldn’t hold it against them. Price: $$ - They have a good mix of affordable and fancy choices alike. Ambiance: 3.5/5 - My only complaint is that it’s a too bright inside (I think mood is very important) and I’m not sure what they want to be. It’s not exactly fine dining nor is it casual, nor fun/hip. But the food is good enough that it doesn’t matter. I think we will enjoying coming here and slowing trying everything. #richmondeats #vancityeats“

“Google review shows 4.1 for this place. Joke? lol. Where I came from, this is very authentic Suzhou / Shanghai cuisine. At par with those high quality restaurants in Shanghai. Three days in a row dine in here, food quality is very consistent and no single entry was disappointing! Keep up the good work 桂！ See you next when I am back.“

“Not bad, but not amazing. The texture of the lamb meat is decent enough, but still a tad tough for certain pieces depending on what dish you order. My favourite item would honestly be the bread that they have with the sweet filing inside. Nice atmosphere and decor, but definitely a busy restaurant. We had to reserve a table even during a weekday.“

“Always delicious!!!! Best in the west!!!“

“Nothing beats a big, fragrant, and spicy pot of classic Sichuan Boiled Fish with Intestine on a cold, rainy day. The fish was fresh and snappy, the intestine pieces were juicy as well. The authentic, fiery flavour makes you forget all about the wet, damp weather outside. Their signature dessert of Cold Sweet Rice Cake is heavenly. Covered in a delectable sweet syrup, the rice cake is smooth and creamy. Overall, their food is on the pricey side, but it was delicious. I really appreciate the restaurant for opening late during the holidays as well. Parking is free on premise.“

“Without any reference, it was quite good. The fish soup was decent, so was everything else. With the same brand store in Toronto as a reference, however this was a level below. The Toronto store has thicker soup, fresh and more fish and even the bowls are bigger. Here the food was pre-prepared, while in Toronto the food was freshly made.“

“Every time I come here, the attitude of the boss brother and aunt is so good, warm and polite. Every time I come to Richmond, I have to eat this box lunch. The portions are huge and they keep adding more vegetables. I didn’t bring enough cash and change, and I was missing 2 yuan. The boss just said to give it to me next time😅😅. I quickly went back to my husband to get the money to make up for it. Hope business is booming!“

“Standard HKG style cafe. Good range of items in menu, reasonable portions maybe a bit on the small side for the price. Flavor is decent. Friendly staff. Cash or debit only though

Parking: Parking can get full when around dinner time.“

“家鄉食品美味有新意，好吃不貴“

“Food is steamed, cooked, or pan fried on the spot. There is usually a bit of a wait, but the food is very fresh.

I personally think their dumplings are better than their XLB. Noodles are good, but soups/broths are pretty average.

Scallion pancake is a tad too salty.“

“Super friendly staff, they even treat you like family! Food is amazing as always. Feels like home!“

“Richmond's patties are the best. They are crispy on the outside and not dry on the inside. They also have a half-boiled egg.
Both curry beef briskets are excellent and the service is also very good. They proactively ask you if you need water and will save a seat for you.“

“Came here for their breakfast combo. Ordered B+D and chose mushroom omelette, braised beef with vermicelli, and half French toast. It was way too much food for one person. Milk tea was average, not the most rich tasting I've had.

Overall, I would consider coming again but I would also try to explore other options nearby.“

“Hainanese chicken & rice is perfectly done. The beef brisket noodle is simple and tasty.

This place would get 5* if it weren't for the price. Both items were a couple bucks more expensive than it should be for what you get.

I may come back again but it's too expensive to justify coming to regularly.“

“Some phenomenal skewers! They have a massive selection for their skewers, and their appetizers and desserts are all delicious too. Though the proportion size is a little small for the price, they all taste great! The parking is convenient to come by, and there're some bubble tea places nearby if it was too spicy for you haha. I highly recommend their spam skewers :)

Parking: Easy to come by.“

“Solid Cantonese cuisine and has all the classic noodle and rice dishes you expect. Prices are reasonable (not high but not considered cheap). Portion sizes are ok (not small but also not overwhelming). I continue to come here as this style of Cantonese cuisine is becoming hard to find in the Lower Mainland. I used to come here more often when I worked near by and it’s good to see it’s just as good as ever and doing well. Service is decent (fast and friendly enough) as well.

Parking: Busy strip mall with limited parking“

“There are many dishes that are not available in Taiwan.

Even the egg tart itself is crispy,

It also has a taste that has never been tasted in Taiwan.

The quicksand buns and egg tarts taste really delicious.“

“Very fresh seafood and dumplings !“

“Formerly known as the “Bamboo Grove Dining Room and Coffee Shop” half a century ago, is now traditional Cantonese style family meals. They have wone numerous Metro Vancouver Chinese Restaurant Awards since 2010 as well as Chinese Restaurant Awards Critic’s choice. From the outside it looks dated, parking situation not the best, spacious interior quite upscale.
Service definitely on par with the vibe, not your family course set menu so a little more pricey, but the food is absolutely amazing, you get what you paid for. Every single dish is delicious and I would consider it a hidden gem ?
4 stars because of the parking and the crowd wait as we didn't have reservation but I guess that is a good thing.“

“In the evening, Qin asked two friends on her left to have dinner. The friends told me to go to the restaurant. It was my first time to go. If you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed. It’s OK! Shiluo has a surprise! I called the left lamb belly pot + 3 side dishes set menu. The lamb belly pot and Kyoto pork chop were delicious. Since the other two dishes were not what I ordered, I thought it was passable! The frozen lemon tea is so-so! The lamb brisket should be served slowly! The waiters have great attitudes! Worth recommending“

“This was insane. I totally did not expect it to taste like that. The rice noodles were very thin with the right bounce, and they don’t stick to each other either. Great texture. The sauce was perfectly salty, perfectly flavored. Cheap too.“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“I like it very much, the soup is delicious and the food is fresh. The food is served quickly and the service is very good. Love this store so much! (I really wanted to eat large intestine, but actually this soup base was not available. The waiter helped me confirm with the kitchen several times and specifically requested to add it for me! Thank you very much, it was a very happy dinner)“

“Its alot of food. Service was good because the portions are big. The workers were very nice. They even want you to eat your vegetables they say. The food tastes great and a good opportunity to have chinese food that not alot of places in Vancouver have. And the great mango is nearby too as well as the asian grocery market.“

“the meat is premium and the price is very reasonable(with coupon)“
