50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Richmond

“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!“

“Stopped in today For the first time and had the softshell crab burger along with the onion rings. We also ordered the salmon, fish and chips. Soft crab burger, Crab portion Was much smaller than shown in the photos. A little bit to Oceany for my liking also. However, the onion rings and the salmon, fish and chips were excellent, Especially the salmon, which was very lightly battered just like I like it. Also, the tartar sauce is excellent! Service is average, our food came, and we were not checked on during our stay, but the staff did come by and clear a few plates and dropped off a couple of napkins after I requested them. The restaurant is located on the Barge, which is nice, but I feel that the interior needs a little bit of an upgrade - seems a little bit worn.“

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

“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“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The Fish Man in Richmond has become one of my favorite restaurants in Vancouver. The vibe is lively and packed with local Asian diners, which always gives me confidence in the food. The lighting is warm and bright, and even though the space gets busy, the high ceilings make it easy to have a conversation. The dining area is clean, but the restroom could use improvement.

We ordered the Lingcod with sour cabbage flavor, salted egg yolk lobster, oysters, and a variety of BBQ skewers. Portions are very generous and everything tasted fresh, especially the seafood. The sour cabbage Lingcod is the dish that made me fall in love with this place. I keep coming back hoping to relive that first bite, and it never disappoints.

Service can be hard to flag down when it’s busy, but the staff is friendly and quick once they reach you. The space is large and family friendly.

I’ve visited four times now and always leave happy. I will definitely return every time I’m in Vancouver.“

“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.“

“I went to The Regalia Restaurant because they advertised having authentic Hong Kong-style chicken hot pot (香港雞煲) — something I’ve been craving for years.
I’ve been in Canada for 12 years, and while about 98% of Hong Kong flavors can be found here, the true Hong Kong chicken hot pot has always been missing. Naturally, I had to give this place a try.
The restaurant environment is quite nice, and based on what I read online, it’s fairly new and run by people with real Hong Kong roots. Unfortunately, the chicken hot pot didn’t quite deliver. It looked right, but the taste was off. Instead of the complex, layered flavors you get from a chicken hot pot with a house-made sauce, this version was dominated by a strong shacha (沙茶) sauce flavor. It wasn’t bad — the dish was fine to eat — but it didn’t feel carefully crafted or close to the authentic Hong Kong taste I’ve been searching for.
On the other hand, their deep-fried salt & pepper grouper was excellent! It tasted truly authentic and very satisfying, especially since fresh ocean fish is hard to find in my hometown — Toronto. At $38.75 for one order, the portion was generous and felt like great value.
Given the price, if I had to choose between the grouper and the stir-fried clams, the grouper definitely feels like the much better deal.

“Fantastic new experience Will go back for sure“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Chucila Restaurant quickly became a favorite. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel looked after from the moment you walk in. Dishes are fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented—comforting without being heavy. We shared a few plates and loved the balance of bright flavors and thoughtful textures; you can tell care goes into every detail. Drinks were on point and paired nicely with the food. It’s the kind of spot that works for a casual dinner with friends or a low-key date night. Tip: arrive a little early—popular items go fast. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“We’ve visited this place several times, and the food never disappoints — always tasty and satisfying.
The prices are reasonable and the service is consistently good.
Just a tip: avoid public holidays or rush hours if you’re starving, haha!“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

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

“I was looking for a seafood restaraunt in Richmond and Little Karp caught my attention. We last minute booked in on a Friday night, we were welcomed at the door, and were blown away by the quality of the service. We shared some appetizer plates, all delicious! Will definitely return!“

“This original sea harbour location was located on number 3 road across from yaohan. Sea harbour is known for luxurious Chinese fine dining. They had also won awards and their culinary team is very elite. I decided to have dimsum here when their doors open.

The dining room is extremely luxurious and eye popping. Service here is absolutely amazing. I loved their menu because they have items that alot of other traditional dim sum places don't offer. I really enjoyed their sticky wild rice wrap. The texture is lovely and fragrant. The scallop soup dumplings were so supple and savoury. The stuffing inside the fried taro dumplings was also very delicious.“

“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 😉“

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

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

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

“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 🤫“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely recommend. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff are always friendly. I wish they had longer hours. Definitely 100% 5/5!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of the better fish stalls in Richmond. Lots of live snd fresh fish available. Sometimes uou can find fresh specialty items not available anywhere else.

They also have a variety of fresh seafood and other foods (like pig skin). A few freezers with frozen seafood also available.

They supply a lot of seafood to restaurants so you can be sure of their quality. I believe they have their own fishing boat but not 100% sure.“

“This is by far the best Cantonese restaurant I’ve tried in Richmond! Every dish I’ve had here has been delicious and truly authentic — classic Cantonese flavors done perfectly. I’ve been here a few times already (two or three times), and every visit has been excellent. Highly recommend!“

“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'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“

“Very good fish and chips place in Steveston Village in Richmond. Fish was seasoned well and not too oily. You also have the option to substitute onion rings or sweet potato fries instead of regular chips.

Clam chowder tasted good but did not get a lot of seafood in it. Service was quick, even though he was by himself.

Would come back again!“

“Great food and good service. Gonna go back to try more dishes for sure“

“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.“

“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!!“

“The food here is fantastic! Best Chinese food around! Southern Chinese to be specific. We had a selection of dishes that we shared. It was a little bit noisy but there's also an outside patio. Friendly and helpful service. Absolutely loved it.“
