50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Richmond

“Right across from City Hall! Came here with the team and we all had a great time. The food was super fresh and tasty, the place was clean and comfy, and the staff were really friendly. Great spot for family or work dinners, especially if you love seafood!“

“A few friends and I went for the first time and were blown away with the quality of the meal, service, and ambiance- definitely a place to return to and I just saw they do ‘brunch’. worth visiting!“

“The food and service were outstanding. After a long day of travel, the restaurant was a welcome rest. We sampled the prime rib, chicken wings, and wedge salad, all of which were tender and delicious. The staff were accommodating and attentive. We will definitely return on our next visit.“

“Seafood platter and large clam chowder was delicious 😋 👍everything else is great, the place, fast service as usual. Kendra is the best, 👍👍“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a cozy waterfront restaurant with a warm, rustic interior. The wooden beams and soft lighting created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal with a view of the boats docked outside. The space felt open and bright thanks to the large windows that let in plenty of natural light, even on a drizzly day.

The seafood was the star of the show. I indulged in a beautifully presented seafood platter that included scallops, oysters, and shrimp, all generously covered in garlic and finely chopped herbs. The scallops, in particular, were cooked to perfection—tender and flavorful, complemented by the mild sweetness of the garlic. The prawns were fresh and juicy, and the oysters were served with a slight tang that paired well with the overall richness of the dish.

To accompany the meal, I had a glass of Russell Brewing’s beer, which added a crisp, refreshing contrast to the savory seafood. The combination of the food, drinks, and the tranquil ambiance made the experience thoroughly enjoyable.

This spot is a hidden gem for seafood lovers, offering both quality and atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxed dining experience by the water.“

“One of my company said best salmon burger ever.“

“If you love seafood, this place is fantastic. Been there plenty of times and my personal favourite is oysters, dumplings and hand cut noodles. They gave really good marinated items as well like duck and salmon. Oysters are always fresh. This is one place i ate seafood where I haven't had an upset tummy.
Happy hour items are really good price as well.

Amazing service, the staff is friendly and quick.“

“A healthy tasty meal is what I want to fuel my body before a flight and this is exactly what I got from here!! Their salmon and bannock plate is so good. Service is amazing. Support local business instead of processed big corporation food. It’s better for u!!“

“Been twice now and both times the food has been amazing and very consistent the atmosphere is awesome highly recommend it’s very unique and different style of going out for dinner and well worth the experience“

“Fantastic new experience Will go back for sure“

“If you’re a fan of spicy seafood, Fish Man Restaurant in Richmond is a must-visit! We tried the hot and sour fish soup, which was packed with tender fish and fresh vegetables—full of bold, tangy flavor with a good spicy kick. We originally had our eyes on the scallops, but they were sold out, so we went with the clams in black bean sauce instead. No regrets—they were meaty, flavorful, and well-cooked.

The real standout for us was the fried rice. It had incredible flavor and that unmistakable wok hay that’s hard to find.

Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes it worthwhile. Definitely recommended for seafood lovers looking for bold flavors.“

“Pretty good food there. I like the ambience and the noodles. Will go back and try the other stuff.“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“The number of authentic Chinese food where I live in the states is a rather sad amount, hence why we drive for a while to a whole different country for some hella authentic food.
Been going here for many years, quality has never changed; definitely the go-to spot for Dim Sum. Sure, there might be runner-ups, but their vibes just aren't the same.

Atmosphere: see, what I mean by vibes are the carts that wheel the Dim Sum by, the long wait lines (you got people lining up even at three or four o'clock), and the owner somehow managing to bid a customer goodbye, take an order, and holler out a name for the next person up in line to come on up.

Service: ooh, might I also mention, best to call in and reserve a spot ahead of time. That might cut down your wait time from half to one hour to the five to fifteen minutes I usually have to wait. Since it's so busy, do expect a slight delay in service if you want to order something specific or get your tea refilled. It's alright, it's understandable. Oh, also, they do take extra requests! For example, my family and I don't like stuff too heavy on salt or oil, so we asked if we could get the fried beef noodles (干炒牛河粉) with less salt and oil, it did come waaay lighter. Thanks!

Food: now... if I were to write down every single food and my corresponding rating, I might hit the review character limit... just trust me on this! You can't go wrong with anything, so whether you're looking for an authentic vibe and experience or you have zero idea what to try, you really can't go wrong! Everything's amazing.

There's a reason there are thousands of reviews of this place, and I know many restaurants that have hiked up prices or lowered their quality after getting a bit more popular. In my experience, the food quality has pretty much stayed the same. Commendable!

Is it worth driving over three hours just to here? Yup, it is.“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Food is really good! You have your privacy too, 100% would recommend this restaurant“

“Delicious food and great attentive service. We had three children with us and they provided an activity for them and child friendly menu option as well. Would definitely recommend.

Kid-friendliness: We appreciated the extra touches the restaurant provided to make our dinner family friendly including a painting activity for the kids and a child specific menu option that included dessert.“

“I had a great experience at Tai Er! The sauerkraut fish was packed with bold flavors, and the spice level was just right even for kids. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant has a vibrant, modern vibe, perfect for a casual night out with friends or family.“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“4th times had lunch at this restaurant. All dimsum we ordered kept the same tasty standard. The waiters and servers are all very polite and friendly which is quite impressive. I will return and recommend my friends to go too.
Lunch at this place last Saturday. Chinese New Year 4th day. Very busy but got my reserved table right away. Altgough it was a busy dsy but all employees serms very cheerful and received New Year blessings from all employees. Food remain tasty and keep the standard. Will return this Thursday with friends“

“Place/dining is very clean. Food is great, non greasy. Customer service on my 2nd visit was excellent. I didn't know there's an option of rice, quinoa or what not and I learned from Yvonne. She was accommodating of my preferences. It feels nice to support local businesses! I don't have photos because my family ate already before I got this survey! This food bar is worth recommending.

Vegetarian options: I have not tried the tofu/vegetarian meal but I gonna try next time.

Dietary restrictions: There are choices for a variety of sauces/dressings, grains. I believe they can customize accdg to your preference.

Parking: It's a strip mall, so there is ample parking.

Kid-friendliness: I was my 12 yr old son who wanted to go there and he liked it.

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't notice it's accessibility.“

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

“Food wise, best dim sum i ever had in Vancouver. They taste so close to the dim sum i tried in China. Size and serving portion is perfect size, not too big nor too small. Their tea tastes better too. / Service is good. / Just a little bit pricy.“

“I'm not really sure why this place has low ratings. I have been coming here for the past decade or so. Always delicious food and great service. They cook food with a lot of "wok hey". I recommend the sweet and sour pork, stir fry pea sprouts (dou miu), scallop egg white fried rice, soya sauce chicken was the best, and their fried fish. Dessert was yummy too - green bean sweet soup with taro. Haven't had that in a very long time. This is a hidden canto gem in Richmond. Highly recommend!!

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accesible“

“Had lunch omakase yesterday, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The chef and staff were very friendly and talkative! I was delighted to try a new sake. I can confidently say this is the highest quality omakase I’ve had in Vancouver—better than the two Michelin-starred Japanese restaurants I’ve tried before. The only thing I think could be improved is that the flavors were a bit on the salty side. If they were a touch milder, it would better highlight the freshness of the ingredients. We also celebrated our anniversary here, and the staff were kind enough to take a photo for us.“

“I recently visited Jjang Korea BBQ in Richmond, and their bargain lunch special is an absolute steal! The Korean fried chicken is crispy and flavorful—definitely one of the best I’ve had. Their kimchi and potato sides are outstanding, perfectly complementing the meal. The beef is tender, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a chill lunch. Free parking adds to the convenience, which is always a bonus in Richmond. Overall, Jjang Korea BBQ offers incredible value without compromising on quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ!“

“We greatly enjoyed the happy hour and food. I highly recommend the halibut dinner. It was delicious. And our server, Justin, was fantastic.“

“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.“

“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 🤫“

“5 minutes away from our house and everything is fresh and sumptuous�My kids love it so that’s what really matters�“

“amazing food, amazing owner (Rick), highly recommended“

“What a truly spectacular dinner! Our alumnae association's day of recollection concluded with the perfect finale, thanks to the fabulous food and impeccable service at Fisherman’s Terrace in Richmond's Aberdeen Centre. A special thanks goes to the maître d', Simon, for curating an unforgettable menu and his assistant, Susana, for expertly handling the seating arrangements for our party of nearly 60.

The meal was a journey of delightful surprises, starting with the Peking duck appetizer that had our U.S. guests convinced it was the highlight of the night. But each subsequent dish somehow raised the bar even higher. The lobster noodle dish was outstanding, and the fried chicken was a revelation—who knew it could be such a special dish?

Our server, Candy, also deserves a special mention. She was incredibly efficient, handling our large group with remarkable calm and courtesy. Her unflappable service was a key part of what made the evening so seamless.

We left feeling grateful for a truly memorable experience and a fitting end to a day that fed both the body and the spirit.“

“Enjoyed our experience with our 10 year old grandson who loves seafood. Everything was fresh and delicious, their in-house sauces were so tasty !!! We especially enjoyed the beef Teriyaki, amazing! Service was top notch and chef was very knowledgeable and cooked everything to perfection! We highly recommend this restaurant and give it a 10/10!“

“This is a great place for real authentic Cantonese food. It’s getting harder to find restaurants like these that serve Cantonese food like this. The service is very good and I highly recommend for dim sum and dinner. Be sure to try and park on 2nd floor of parkade to avoid the stairs as the elevators do not work…“

“Best butter chicken in town! Always fresh.“

“Tasty Shanghainese fare in a comfortable setting. Good and friendly service. Lots of parking.“

“Delicious food“

“Tin Tin Kitchen offers an exceptional dining experience with their excellent baked spaghetti with meat sauce—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Pair it with their outstanding Hong Kong milk tea, which is creamy, aromatic, and truly satisfying. The combination of delicious food and delightful drinks makes Tin Tin Kitchen a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable meal.“

“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.“

“Super recommended. This year alone, my family and extended family have been to the Richmond location 4x for occasions.

High quality food and they taste good. Depends on the dish u order, some dish can be a tad small but the waiter will advise you.

Salted egg you prawns is very good.
There is the beef ribs dish tat is so so Good. Can't eat a lot though cuz it's rich.

Prices very very reasonable.
We usually go up on the 2nd floor up the ramp. 2 hr parking.
Heard it's 3 hr parking on the red floor“

“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“

“油條與腸粉還有花膠粥好吃“

“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 got various seafood options but the shop is too small. There was a man delivering the seafood when I was queuing. He transferred the fish from one bucket to the other rudely without warning me. I had no way to escape and the waste water split on my coat. Except that, the services of the other staff are excellent.“

“I come every year to this restaurant to eat the salted egg prawns and every time it always hits the spot this time I got some ribs that I didn’t take pictures of but it was so good 10 out of 10. Recommend this place if you’re in the area fresh seafood.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love it! Hula exceeded my expectations. The quality is amazing and everything arrived just as described. You can tell they really care about the details, and the whole experience from ordering to using it felt smooth and thoughtful. I rarely leave reviews, but this one definitely deserved a solid 5 stars. Highly recommend to anyone considering it!“

“Must try fried rice noodle with beef, spareribs with plum sauce, shrimp spring rolls,👍
Lunch hours are usually busy and very noisy. It is typical of dim sum restaurants.
This location is in Asian themed strip mall with shops like Chinese groceries, meat and barbecue, Chinese herbs, bakery store.“

“Cute fish & chips restaurant at Stevetson Richmond.
Fish and chips are good👍
Calamari fries are not that fresh.

Servers are kind.
I loved the atmosphere with old neighbor’s gathering and friendly talks sound.“
