Dim Sum Restaurants in Richmond, BC

“First time at this restaurant, as we're from Toronto. Didn't take any pictures but the food was delicious & the service was amazing! The restaurant was busy but the staff came around often to fill the teapot with water. Busy but staff was attentative!“

“Wow the food is fantastic. It was very difficult to decide on what to try. I ended up with the “hot & sour dumpling soup” and the “beef slice in Chinese pancake.” Both are a must try.“

“Tried their New York style chicken rice bento and their Japanese style Tokyo Charsiu rice bento. Both tasted wholesome and reminiscent of home cooking. Good presentation for the takeout. Discovered them on Chowbus. Good value for the price and the owner appeared friendly when I picked up the food. Good portions, food tasted good, and the meat was good quality. Only drawback I found was the rice was kinda dry and on the harder side.“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

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

“A nice big high ceilings and big windows Chinese restaurant. It's good enough for a dim sum lunch and dinner since the place is comfortable and roomy. It's a good Chinese restaurant if you are meeting your friends and family since it's comfortable and not noise.
They offer 20% off for the dim sum and free tea in the morning until 11am Monday to Friday. This is a good deal if you can go in the morning. There are plenty of free parking too.
Since the restaurant is big, sometimes you may find no enough staff there.
The price is reasonable and food is quite good. They have some promotion combo and special price in lunch time.
If you are in this area, you can try it once.“

“They have excellent frozen dimsum. Hargau, xiao long bao and beef balls are my favorites. Hargau here has bamboo shoots. This place has the distinction of being Vancouver's first frozen dimsum outlet. They used to be called Happy Family Dimsum. Xiao long bao and hargau are almost an art form. The recipe changes depending on the weather and season or they disintegrate. The other excellent dimsum place Delicious Dimsum is owned by his cousin.“

“We usually come here for dinner. It was our first time thing their brunch. Highly recommend trying their xiao long bao and sesame chicken noodles for brunch. We got our fave dong bo Rou as well 😆 didn’t think that would be available for lunch but it is so we ordered it. I love that the sauce is slightly sweet and the meat ks super tender. Remember to order their mapo tofu. It’s only $3.95 and it’s not a typo 😉“

“We visited this great cafe and were not disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. We ordered and a salmon and eggs benny, americano, hot chocolate. The experience was excellent. I’d definitely recommend the cafe to everyone including those OUAT fans.“

“This Shanghai restaurant is really authentic. XLB were juicy, the duck very intense in flavors and the fish also yummy. Dandan mian were a bit too soft for our taste but amazing taste. Portions were huge so that we couldn’t finish everything but overall I would give this place a 4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My most favorite fish were the Shanghai noodles 🤫“

“Great“

“Chose this restaurant as I've followed the manager, Michael Kwok, around since his days at Floata, then Red Star, and now at Kowloon Delight. Hosted my son's high school grad family dinner, and recently mom in law's milestone birthday party. The Great: food is fabulous as confirmed by my very picky MIL and extended family. In particular, hot n sour soup is one of the best we've had. Service by Michael and servers is top notch (which is usually a bone of contention in a Chinese restaurant but not here). The Good: parking is covered as it's inside a plaza. So our elders w mobility issues had no problem getting to the second floor. Parking is free as well. The Meh: washrooms could be cleaner and should maintained throughout the night. Overall: absolutely will come again for another milestone event this year. This is my go to place now when I'm looking to host 3 tables of people (ie.30 people).“

“Situated inside Aberdeen mall. This place nails the classics like crispy chicken. Usually that is a more expensive dish but a lot of places make it really dry. This place got it right. Super juicy chicken, even the white meat. They also have few unique dishes. Loved the basil fried pork chop. Great place for family dinner. Great service. Our waitress was bustling but attentive. Refilling waters and switching plates.“

“Late Post: an extravagant dinner but without the luxury features, vibe, decor or background music.
The outside of the restaurant seems a bit sketchy at first and the inside has an odd layout. They were previously located on Park Road years ago, now a block away in a senior only residential building and still using the same fixtures, tables and chairs but it is clean.

Quiet run down, but the dishes was delicious if you're after old school authentic flavours and back to basic to enjoy classic food this a place to be.
New location is a hidden gem that you can't see from the outside, but it's busy for down to earth Cantonese dinner, as menu less fancy and extensive compared to newer establishments. Many items you do need to pre-order though, sue to concept of simplicity.

I must say their steamed fish was really good, because havent enjoyed one just so perfectly cooked in a while. Their portion sizes and temperature of dishes is something to rave about too. Everything was cooked, seasoned and presented nicely. Just don't know why they didn't offer any fried rice when ordered the king crab.

You can bring your own wine at dinner for a corkage fee, but parking is limited in the garage.

However, IMO their dim sum lunch not as good.

Update: Golden Paramount Seafood Restaurant has received several awards, including being a winner of the Hennessy The Elite 10 Awards (Metro Vancouver) and having its chef, May Chau Siu-May, named Master Chef of the Year at the 2024 Chinese Restaurant Awards. The restaurant was recently also included in the 2025 Elite 30 list of the Chinese Restaurant Awards.

They are well known for their Pork Lung with Almond Soup that has great clean flavours with a lovely balance between sweet meatiness and slightly bitter nuttiness a result of careful slow cooking. This soup sells out regularly each night.“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“3.x Something Rating? That's so misleading! Are you coming for a Michelin star meal (Service and ambiance counts for most of the rating)? Or an amazing Shanghainese Restaurant?

If you're here for authentic food that's actually second to none you've found a Shanghainese gem. Selfishness hopes that you all don't really digest my review. They don't have that many tables and I would like to make sure mine is still available 😜

So, if you like Din Tai Fung (Shanghainese eatery started in Taiwan and the most popular Chinese restaurant chain in the world). This restaurant will put them to shame. It's not even close. Sorry DTF!

I do appreciate the masks! They wear masks when preparing and delivering my food. Their menu is also vastly expanded vs their old main street location. So what I guess what I'm saying is to enjoy their food but don't take my seat 😀“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Dim sum in bamboo trays on the average-to-low end. In contrast, high quality made to the order lunch dishes.

Ginger chicken steamed bun: 3 pc, small size, dough a little soggy, guessing they steam up factory made frozen buns.

Cod fish maw & vegetable in oyster sauce : Very tasty and good portion for the 3 of us!

Rolled rice sheet with fish filling : great! Unlike the more common choice of rolled rice sheet with fish paste, this dish has fish pieces and no deep frying involved.

Fried rice with diced chicken and salted fish: Great! Good portion.

Overall, I have reservation on the quality of their bamboo tray steamed dim sum. I appreciate the flavour in their made-to-the-order items. I had dinner here on the past and I remember it was very flavourful, and they have very attentive servers.“

“Very delicious Chinese chives dumplings(韭菜盒子） - extra large in size with al dente wrappings Lam fried. We liked it so much we even bought some frozen ones to enjoy at home. Lots of variations to select from. We saw many people coming in to buy the frozen dumplings this afternoon. Owner speaks English and Mandarin. Very authentic stuff!“

“Very fresh seafood and dumplings !“

“Had dinner here twice last week while visiting Richmond, everything we had was awesome, no wonder the place looks so busy everytime we drove by. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion, service was friendly, fast and efficient, hard to find in chinese restaurants, Wish you would open a branch here in Calgary.“

“They're kinda funny at the hostess area.
"Just wait here" then they walk away 2 minutes later... stop, turn around and look at us; "hey, follow me here. " They're abrupt, not rude, just getting the job done.
Food 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“

“Had a very pleasant business meeting in one of the private dining rooms. Service staff were excellent. Food was rich in flavour and delicious. Main dining area seemed busy and very social. Great place to bring friends for an energetic dinner out. I would definitely go again. Top notch!!“

“We enjoyed a tasty dinner on a Friday night. The food was pretty good. We ordered sweet and sour pork, egg white with crab on broccoli, shredded chicken, and tofu pot with seafood. The rice bowl portion was pretty big! We had the complimentary red bean soup dessert too.

Service was good and it was very quiet on a weeknight. Lots of parking in this mall as well.“

“I don't know why there are such bad reviews. It is a typical HK cafe. The selection is plentiful but we usually come here for breakfast (i.e., rice rolls, congee, eggs, pineapple bun, etc.). The restaurant is small and could probably be tidier but as I said before, it's a typical HK cafe. The rice rolls are delicious with lots of different choices in toppings. I've been back a few times and will continue to come back!“

“It was alright. Overall an okay dim sum experience, the 20% off if you order before 11 am really helped. Everything tasted just a little bland, like not quite sweet enough, not quite salty enough. The ham siu gok is crispy-ish on the outside, but just not quite enough. The meat inside isn't quite sweet or salty enough. It was okay but I'd prefer another dim sum place if we're talking the same price point.“

“This was my first time at this Hong Kong dim sum restaurant. It was clean, bright, and spacious. The food was diverse and delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The staffs were friendly and the service was prompt. Located in a high-rise building opposite Richmond Casino, it has a dedicated parking lot on the rooftop, making it easily accessible. If you want to have a Hong Kong dim sum experience, Harbour Restaurant is a good choice.“

“You spend typically around 45 per person if you order a lunch special. Compare that to other restaurants like these and it’s super cheap! The food here tastes good, just don’t order too much!

Also, depending on the size of the group you pull up with, it may or may not be a good idea to go with at least more than 6 people. Just saying. The portions are too much for less than that.“

“This is my favourite restaurant. Dim sum is excellent with loads of variety. The dinner menu also has wonderful dishes. The beef with wasabi is a particular favourite of mine. Food aside, the staff is very attentive and ever so friendly. The owner is very nice as is Sandi who will greet you at the door, so are Eddie, Gary & Ian to name but a few.“

“Most of the stuff here aren’t that bad, sometimes it is inconsistent but most of the time it is nice. Times usually get busy at around noon so be quick… or make a reservation. I went here at 10 am so not too busy, food arrived very fast because of it.“

“Solid dim sum selection, though it leans toward the pricier, mid-to-upper end spots in Richmond. The standout for me was the red rice roll with shrimp, a twist on the classic, with great crunch and flavour. The almond cheese sticks sounded amazing on paper, but the dish felt disjointed, lots of crunch and a cheese-meets-meat flavour that felt a bit mismatched. Still, a tasty lineup overall.

• Tieguanyin - Chinese Oolong Tea
• Minced Pork with Salted Egg Yolks Congee
• Steamed Beef Short Ribs with Black Pepper
• Steamed Prawn Dumpling (Har Kau)
• Steamed Pork Spareribs with Minced Garlic
• Red Rice Roll with Shrimp
• Almond Cheese Sticks
• Durian Mochi“

“Enjoying some authentic HK dim sum for brunch.
Wish they had more than four tea options.
Service always here above my expectations, staff attentive, friendly and professional.

I always call ahead to make a reservation, specially on weekends and holidays, because has average wait time of at least twenty minutes during busy times and this cuts into the 2hr free parking.

Honestly dimsum food tastes more or less the same at most locations nowadays so really can't complain about anything there. The shrimp dumplings🥟 were fresh, skin was thin, and went really well with the chili oil. Stuffed chicken wings moist and crispy.

At 10:30am stir fried specials, they open at 9:00am 365 days a year, but that too early for me. Sometimes they have a set dim sum menu special for early birds. Definitely this price has reasonable prices even without foodie discounts.

I recommend their Puff Baked Sago Custard Pudding 脆皮西米焗布甸 and Crispy Donut Wrapped with Rice Roll 炸兩, both so delicious 😋 forgot take a photo.“
