Dim Sum Restaurants in Richmond, BC

“Continental Seafood Restaurant @ Cambie Plaza Richmond BC. Convenient location. Have dim sum carts services. Good food (Shrimp dumpling, Pork & shrimp dumpling, Braised Beef Tripes, Tendon, Liver & Brisket with Turnip, Pan Fried Eggplant & Tofu Stuffed with Fish Paste, Steamed Rice Roll With Chinese Donut) at reasonable price. Huge place with a large ballroom dance floor, perfect for banquets or large dinners. Plenty of free parking.“

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant ive been to in Richmond. The food is phenomenal, especially the signature fish on the menu. During our visit here, we've gone twice for dinner. Prices are reasonable for the quality as well. Some waiters only speak Mandarin.“

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

“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 ordered the Xiao long Bao, pan fried pork buns and stir fried rice cakes with pork and preserved vegetable. The XLB was a little thicker than I prefer but the broth was flavourful and the pork was well seasoned. I did find it odd they served black vinegar without ginger as is standard for this dish. The stir fried rice cakes was delicious as usual. Nice chewy rice cakes with tender pork was great even the day after.“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“I am very excited about the platter. It is worth trying. We tried the $78 one and the steaks were juicy and delicious. I also enjoyed the waffle with crispy chicken. The display is impressive. The onion rings are crunchy and delicious. The coffee and lavender latte are okay but not necessarily to try. While it is pricey, it is worth it occasionally. We arrived at 10 a.m. and waited 30 minutes for five people. They have indoor and patio options. The indoor option takes longer for waiting.“

“Great“

“I absolutely love coming to Royal Garden Seafood Restaurant for authentic Cantonese cuisine. Their soy sauce chicken is always a standout dish, it is perfectly tender, flavorful, and incredibly delicious every time.

The restaurant offers a great, comfortable dining atmosphere and the staff is very welcoming. It's a fantastic spot for traditional Cantonese food in Richmond. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Daily discount special if you are done by 11:00“

“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).“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“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!“

“Went there for king crab and shark fin soup. King crab was prepared in 4 different ways. All deliciously prepared. Some in our party prefer the rice in the last dish be cooked without Curry but it's personal preference. The shark fin soup was only average and pricey, and could be skipped“

“Nice place for a restaurant. Parking okay sufficient, easy to find and get to. Quite busy during lunch time. Line up at front door. We made reservations early. The food is really good -- we ordered wine chicken, shaolongbao, spicey wontons, noodles, hot and sour soup, beef rolls. I recommend them all. Very addictive actually. I will come back with more family and friends. Enjoy this food a lot. I recommend you to come here. $30 per person for lunch. We ordered a lot, no leftovers. Kind of expensive for lunch. Once in a while okay.“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious and so fresh! The shrimp dim sum, seafood congee, and stir-fried vegetables were all amazing. The shrimp dishes were especially good — you could really taste how fresh the shrimp was in every bite. Everything was cooked perfectly, and I can’t wait to come back!“

“Overall, a pretty good dim sum experience! Service was quick and efficient, and most of the dishes we ordered were enjoyable.

However, I would definitely skip the crispy shrimp rice noodle rolls (cheung fun). The fried portion was extremely oily and overcooked, almost as if it had been fried multiple times. The texture was unpleasantly greasy and heavy, which completely overpowered the delicate rice noodle wrapping. Easily the most disappointing dish of our meal.

Everything else was pretty solid, though! One thing worth mentioning is that they don’t offer traditional egg tarts. Instead, they have a coconut version, which is a nice alternative, but I personally prefer classic egg tarts.

Overall, good food and fast service, but I’d recommend skipping the crispy shrimp rolls!“

“Went for Saturday dim sum with 4 adults and two kids. Spent less than $90 all in with 7 dim sum and BBQ duck noodle.

If you check out before 11am, you get free tea and 20% off! After 11am is 10% off. The food tasted great…taro bun (buns in the shape of pigs), fried taro and pork fritter, fish crepe, were some stand out items.

FYI: Discounted items have a lot of rules—most of which is only written in Chinese—the 20% off is cash only for standard small, medium, large dim sum. Also I was looking forward to clay pot rice but they only serve chicken/rib rice pot on the weekdays (also only written in Chinese—they said it gets too busy?). I would like it if the whole menu and rules were in both English and Chinese for us 2nd generation Canadians.

Finally, like many dim sum restaurants, the restaurant acoustics are very noisy and loud making it difficult to communicate with hard of hearing family member. I’m still on the look out for a quiet dim sum place!

Great parking in the Garden City strip Mall. Good value before 11am. Wish I knew all the rules clearly though.

Note: The dim sum menu on their website has been changed and updated. Photos included for reference.“

“Small family run restaurant with lots of food selection and good service. Rice rolls are the specialty and there are quite a few to choose from. All the employees are very nice people and are happy to serve their customers.

Great place for breakfast or lunch and one of the best rice rolls in town!“

“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.“

“very good taste dimsum place, try the first time nd it surprisingly very tasty. recommended to make reservation. Siumay, Fried Rice, chicken feet, re really good. very clean restaurant but service is a bit slow. Bit pricey but worth the price.“

“Was there for dinner pretty late, it was at the end of closing time. We ordered 4 dishes and everything was pretty good except for the squid tentacles was over overcooked but flavoring was good. The service was a hit and miss, some of the staff was good and somr staff not so much, I understand its the end of the day and they are tired but they still need to give their best. One of the ladies was nice and gave some attention to us. Overall it was good.“

“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.“

“I always find the food and service at Neptune to be good. It’s a great spot for either dim sum or dinner. Prices are reasonable and the food is good.

They can always accommodate large groups on short notice. This can be a challenge when you have the whole family together.

Can be busy sometimes but the service is quick so it doesn’t matter much“

“Lots of parking on P7, but you have to make a reservation or they won't be able to serve you at all for dim sum on weekends. Even then there is a bit of a wait (~15 min) after you arrive.

The dim sum is generally good, although not spectacular - mostly in line with other dim sum places in Richmond.

I didn't realize when ordering that the house special red rice changfen is actually the same as the crispy prawn changfen, with only the rice in a different colour, or I wouldn't have ordered both. The menu doesn't specify the filling for the house special in either language. It's good, but too oily - it was dripping into the plate.

The salted plum goose feet were quite special, as I'd never had goose feet before, and salted plum isn't such a common flavour in cooking.

The rabbit jelly was ADORABLE. I expected the consistency to be softer, but they're actually firm enough to pick up. Taste was good.“

“It’s a strong 4 star for food and overall I’ll upgrade to a 5 star.

Dry beef flat noodle? 4/4.5 star.
Duck wrap (mushu duck) 4.5 star - nice wrap skin, solid duck
Soup dumpling - solid 4 star. Soup held inside.
Crispy milk dessert - 3 star, came out 2nd out of a dozen dishes. It wasn’t amazing but at least interesting that you could drink out the liquid with a straw.

Overall 4 star but I’ll round up to 5 star.“

“We were lucky to get a table of two within 5 mins despite we didn’t reserve a table on Christmas Day. We came to Gingeri long ago but for some reason we didn’t get a chance to go for the past few years. The most amazing part was the friendliest service we got from their hostess, who was so friendly in such a busy day. There was another young girl server who also provided very attentive and efficient service during our stay. The food especially spring rolls were awesome. Will definitely visit again. Service was 100/100.“

“Save space for the best dimsum.
Pretty much any prawn/shrimp dish will be very good. We had the rice rolls woth the biggest prawns ive had at a restaurant, har gow with the perfect filling to skin ratio (which was not too try and sticky), red rolls (basically shrimp rice roll with some crunchy texture inside), eggplant bean (rich flavorful), and the samson congee (never had that much meat in congee before which i enjoyed). Just dont think you can go wrong.
Everything came out decently fast, service was direct and good, the interior was well decorated. I had a very deluxe experience“

“Been visited several times over the years. The service is consistently good, but the food quality can be inconsistent, sometimes delicious, other times a bit disappointing. My recent visit earlier this month was great, hope they can keep that standard.“
