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!“

“Salmon n’ Bannock On the Fly is my go-to lunch place when I’m flying internationally, it’s by far the best airport food I’ve had. The salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and while I love my own bannock, theirs is top notch too. I love supporting Indigenous businesses and just wish they had a spot on the domestic terminal 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, 👍👍“

“Food was very delicious. Everything tasted seriously fresh! At most other seafood restaurants that I’ve eaten at, you sometimes occasionally bite into or eat a bad shellfish which can ruin the experience. But this place, everything tasted fresh and not a single bad shellfish to be had!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Tai Er is still one of my favourite spots in Richmond for Chinese sauerkraut fish. I remember coming here back when they were even better—using live fish and making their own sauerkraut in-house in those big jars. They don’t do that anymore, which is a bit of a shame, but the sauerkraut fish is still one of the best in Vancouver.

I also like that they’ve expanded the menu to include more Chinese stir-fry dishes. I also always order now the deep fried shirmp in mayo—it’s crispy, creamy, and absolutely addictive.

Even though some things have changed over the years, Tai Er is still my go-to when I’m craving that signature Chinese sauerkraut fish. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of bold, sour, spicy Sichuan flavours!“

“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.“

“I’ve gotten Steve’s Poke Bar every other week during my senior year in high school through Uber Eats, and they never disappoint. Bowl is always packed to the top and super accommodating to all of my strange requests. I went in-person today as I have graduated high school, and the nicest employee named Nevaeh helped me! I was worried that I came in too close to closing time, but she assured me it was no problem. 10/10 service, 10/10 food, 100% recommend. (They always have good BOGO deals on Uber as well, I look forward to eating at their UBC location!)“

“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.“

“Tried this highly rated Seafood place tonight. Ordered the Spicy Stir Fried Manila Clams and the Seafood Fried Rice. The Clams were fat and juicy, and a lot of them, the sauce was great. the Seafood Fried Rice was OK, lacking a little flavour so I put the sauce from the clams on the rice. All in all, pretty good, one of the coolest Chinese restaurants I’ve been to.“

“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“

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

“If you’re a fan of Korean-style BBQ, love meat, and have a big appetite, this place is definitely worth checking out! I came here for the AYCE dinner and really enjoyed the fresh meat selection.

There weren’t too many veggie options, though. For the seafood, I’d stick with the shrimp and scallops. Unfortunately, some of the other seafood items I tried had sand in them, so I wouldn’t recommend those.

The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with fun music and enthusiastic staff. It was still pretty busy when I left around 9 p.m. Overall, a fun spot if you’re mainly here for the BBQ and meat!“

“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😩“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“Very authentic Shanghainese cuisine. Generous portions as well. Definitely one of our go to's.

If you are eating dinner there, I would strongly recommend eating the first round, so 5 or 5:30pm, because parking is very limited. There's also paid street parking on Alexandra Road.

Also make sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekends, to make sure you get a table!

One interesting photo to share .. the large wonton chicken soup is a sight to behold! The photo doesn't show how massive it is. It can easily feed ~12+ people with seconds to spare!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“I went here during lunch for Dim Sum, and do I got some of the usual items I very, like Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Rolls, Seafood congee, and Siu Mai. The shrimp here seems really good; I really liked the flavor in both the Shrimp Dumplings and the Shrimp Rice Roll. They either put some good seasonings on it, or maybe because the Shrimp was very fresh. The Siu Mai, they topped with truffles, which definitely adds quite a bit to the flavor, mostly because truffles themselves taste pretty nice. Finally, the Congee was plenty flavorful; it tasted like they added a decent amount of salt and other ingredients in it. Overall, this is a very solid dim sum option in the Vancouver area. It's pretty busy, though; they told me that it was all booked when I showed up at 2pm, although I got lucky and someone no-showed. Likely, it's because it's in a really convenient location (right by a train station stop near the airport). Either way, I definitely recommend a visit.“

“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.“

“Best butter chicken in town! Always fresh.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“Lanxuan Restaurant is a modern Cantonese restaurant in Richmond, British Columbia, known for its refined dim sum, fresh seafood, and elegant dining atmosphere. Popular dishes include shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, and creative Cantonese specialties, making it a favorite destination for both family meals and special occasions“

“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.“

“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!“

“I honestly didn’t even know a restaurant like Shun Feng Seafood Restaurant existed inside Parker Place until a friend mentioned it. Tucked away in the mall, it’s a Cantonese seafood restaurant with a more polished, banquet-style setting than you might expect from its location.

What caught my attention was their effort to take familiar dim sum favourites and give them some unique little modifications. Some worked better than others, but it definitely made the meal more interesting than the usual dim sum lineup.

• Crispy Prawns Red Rice Roll - The rice roll had a nice chewy texture, with an unexpected crunch from what seemed to be the Chinese donut wrapped around the prawns. A fun upgrade to a familiar classic.
• Deep Fried Minced Pork Dumplings - Presented in a rather creative way, shaped almost like a little green apple. The presentation gets points, although the flavour itself was pretty much the standard minced pork dumpling.
• Pan Seared Two Stuffed Treasures - A bit of a surprise here. The treasures were actually eggplant stuffed with prawns and tofu.
• Pan Seared Pork Belly & Preserved Cabbage Dumpling - The outside was sweet and sticky, while the filling was savoury, giving it a nice sweet-savoury contrast.
• Steamed Chicken Feet in Special Sauce - A fairly standard version. Not a big fan.
• Tiger Prawns Dumplings - Another dim sum staple that was solid but fairly straightforward.
• Steamed Lava Quail Egg Siu Mai - This one comes with a warning. There’s a quail egg hiding inside the siu mai, so if you can, eat the whole thing in one bite. Bite into it halfway and that lava-like yolk can burst out and squirt everywhere. Consider yourself warned.
• Taro Paste Bun - Loved that this actually tasted like real taro rather than just being an overly sweet, artificially flavoured filling.

Overall, I enjoyed the fact that Shun Feng tries to play around with traditional dim sum without completely abandoning the familiar flavours. It’s not every dish that needs reinventing, but the little twists make the menu worth exploring.“
