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!“

“Wasn’t planning on getting airport food because it’s costly but I’m so glad I did! This is well worth the price. Most airport food is just overpriced bland stuff but this is a RELIGIOUS experience. Delicious, fresh, mouthwatering. No regrets. Very kind workers too.“

“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.“

“Food was not bad. The fish and chips are sort of like tempura if you like that texture. My only issue was it wasn't cheap and the portions weren't huge. There could have been some more fries or something.

It's far from being bad though, and the spot on the water is nice considering the neighboring food places are all up on the street level.“

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

“Excellent and fresh food that is not widely available else where. Service was friendly but SLOOOWWW! We waited so long between dishes while each portion was small/medium size. Parking was limited during dinner and there're only 4-5 tables. Not recommend for large groups of people.“

“Recently enjoyed an excellent meal @ Blue Canoe. The Ling Cod on Mushroom Orzo was superb! The Key Lime Pie hit the spot. The sunset helps. Very impressed by the effective teamwork of the staff!“

“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.“

“Here's a natural, positive Google review you can post:

> We came here for dim sum with my family and had a great experience. The food was quite good, with fresh flavors and generous portions. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience, and we'd definitely come back for dim sum again.“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“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“

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

“5/5 stars, totally worth every penny!
Tai Er’s signature pickled mustard fish is absolutely outstanding. The fish fillets are ultra-silky, boneless, and melt in your mouth without any fishy aftertaste. Their house-fermented pickled greens are the star—bright, tangy, not overly sour, just perfectly balanced with numbing Sichuan peppercorns and mild chili heat. The golden broth is rich and aromatic, so good I poured it over every bite of rice.

Portions are huge for sharing, service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a fun, casual vibe. Don’t skip the wasabi shrimp balls as a side—creamy, crispy and addictive. If you love sour-spicy Chinese food, Tai Er is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back weekly!“

“The food is delicious. We had 酸菜鱼 a few nights back and it was the best tasting among all restaurants. We came back today to eat the 烤鱼， all dishes are delicious. We will definitely come back. Our waiter Kaby is super friendly with great service!“

“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.“

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

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“Friendly staff and good portions (at least compared to other poke places where they don’t give you a full scoop).

One complaint is that if they’re in the middle of preparing a delivery order, you have to wait for them to finish before they take your order, even though the delivery order sometimes just sits on the counter for several minutes before pickup.

I usually already know what I want and can order quickly, so the wait can be a bit frustrating, especially when there’s no one else in the store. I still give them 5 stars though, as I think they’re trained to do it that way and the service is otherwise consistently good.“

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

“We went on a Thursday for lunch, wasn’t too crowded, the seatings were very spacious, and the staff were nice👍🏻 We got the Pork Stomach with Pepper Soup and the Chicken Wings with Salted Egg Yolk. It was my first time having these two dishes and they were both out of the world😮 The staff came at the right timings to add soup for us, but weren’t like some over-friendly people I’ve encountered before that come every 2 minutes asking you how everything was🤣 Too bad I don’t live in Vancouver, otherwise this would be a place that I want to go to often😩“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“Is a great place to celebrate special occasions and spend quality time with family and friends. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it a fun dining experience.
The service was excellent—our server was very friendly, attentive, and quick to bring out the food. The all-you-can-eat option gives you two hours to enjoy as much as you like, which is more than enough time to relax and enjoy the meal.
The food was fresh, delicious, and there was a good variety to choose from. Overall, a great spot for Korean BBQ, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and satisfying dining experience.❤️“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

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

“Visited this restaurant during my trip to Vancouver and had a very enjoyable dining experience.

The food was thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The presentation was elegant without being overly complicated. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in both the dishes and the service.

The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, making it a great place for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and professional throughout the evening.

Vancouver has many excellent dining options, and this restaurant stands out for its consistency, quality, and hospitality. I would happily return on my next visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“One of the better Shanghai restaurants I've tried lately around Vancouver.

Decent, Chinese restaurant type, service. Food came quick and hot. Well petioned and modestly priced. Enjoyed the flavours, the standout dishes were:
Crispy ribs in black vinegar sauce, egg yolkl prawns, drunken chicken. Very nice XLB and the pork with black fungus in spicy sauce with pancakes was very tasty. The pancakes were super thin and delicious.

Will make the trip out to Richmond again for this restaurant.“

“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!“

“We went there for a lunch special event. Because of that, the service was probably better than usual. The food was not bad although it was not superb. The taste and texture of the dim sum was pretty much the same as most other Chinese restaurants, but the red rice roll with Chinese donut inside was good.“

“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).“

“we rented a car in north vancouver so that we could make our excursion to see fisherman’s wharf on the last day of our trip. when asked about our plans by the friendly car rental man of british origin, he enthusiastically recommended that we try the fish and chips. we asked him if he had a specific spot in mind, he couldn’t remember the name but said “the one right by the wharf. you’ll see it.” we saw many, and chose dave’s based purely on aesthetics. it looked quite nautical indeed. we both ordered the two piece fish and chips, with one piece of halibut and one piece of salmon. it was hot, it was fish, it was chips, it was fried, it was crisp on the outside and moist within. its blandness would have more than suited any englishman. i would recommend you try it.“

“Great price for dim sum and Cantonese style dinner. Food quality is steady in most case and size is decent for 4 people. Service is decent and the restaurant still kept pretty well for being in the same location for more than 15 years.
Convenient if you SkyTrain but mall parking is busy during peak.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Ran into this hidden gem on my way out of Vancouver. The staff was incredibly helpful in explaining the menu ingredients. I ended up taking their recommendations and tried the Yuzu with salmon and crispy miso with salmon. Both were fantastic and the ingredients were so fresh! Definitely recommended—I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.“

“Delicious food“

“Whenever I'm craving geoduck, this is the only place I come to. The quality is always incredibly fresh, and they process it for you on the spot. Their knife skills are excellent—they slice it perfectly thin, which makes it ideal for serving as sashimi after chilling it at home. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“It was busy for a Monday around 1:30 PM and we had to wait for a table for three people. Like must places, you order from a paper menu (not traditional carts). The food was excellent and the portions were generous. In particular, the spicy tofu (jiu yim dou fu) and shrimp stuff eggplant (yin yeung keh jee) were some of the best I’ve had. It was quite noisy because it was busy, but I guess that’s part of the dim sum experience. The food arrived more staggered than I wanted but not annoyingly slow. Overall, I would give this restaurant a solid 4 stars and would definitely return again.“

“We were walking around Fisherman's wharf and was looking for a place with oysters and spot prawns. A gift shop worker recommended us to come here. We didn't know they were not open yet but they still let us come dine in. The food was delicious and fresh!“

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

“Was craving hot pot on a Friday night, but the restaurant I originally wanted had a long lineup—so we ended up coming here instead, and it was a pleasant surprise!

I really loved the steamed chicken pot—super tender with a generous amount of meat. The luffa was a standout as the vegetable in the pot. We also added sliced beef, which was equally tender and soft, and the flavour overall was really good.

For dessert, we had a traditional Cantonese one, freshly made. Really enjoyed it!“

“The food is consistently good and I like the giant crab hanging on the wall at the entrance. We call him King Crab.

The best thing about this location is the excellent service by the staff team. Our server Stephen was incredibly kind, helpful, and friendly.“
