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!“

“We went to 2 other restaurants before hand. The first was totally slow service and the 2nd (Pajos) had a long
line that wasn’t moving so we decided to try here. My order was taken immediately by a very friendly lady and I was told 12 minutes. 12 minutes later I had our food. The 2 piece cod and fries. I asked for lots of ketchup but only got 1 small portion and paid for extra tartar sauce but it was actually mostly mayonnaise ! Yuck ! How can you not know how to make this ? The fries were good but the fish was very oily. It only cost around $20. But… there was only one couple eating here and the music was calm . They have metal tables on the boardwalk but no umbrellas to protect you from the sun. Sorry guys but it looks like you are not even trying and have given up hope.“

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

“Will always support indigenous owned businesses over any other businesses. I bought bannock and a latté, the bannock is so fluffy, moist and delicious, and the latté is great! 100% recommend, I hope people will keep supporting this business, as we need more indigenous owned businesses everywhere!!! I am so happy I had this option!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you're about food and aren't concerned with ambience and that sort of thing, definitely worth checking out. It's pretty rough around the edges: It's a crowded dining room, my water kind of tasted like 7up, The crab wasn't really cracked and no tools to do so. The food is definitely above average though. Portions are pretty generous, better with a group, not a great date spot.

We came here to eat and I'd come back for that reason“

“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.“

“Not bad but a bit pricey!“

“Good food and service, friendly staff.“

“Tucked away in the back of parker place, Regalia is a hidden gem that shines in both flavor and service. Their ingredients taste very fresh, and pots are so flavorful! The servers are also extremely kind, which breaks the stereotype of traditional Asian restaurants. Would definitely come back.“

“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.“

“Friendly Service and Excellent Happy Hour Foods.“

“One of the few Chinese restaurant that still have dim sum cart going around instead of placing your order. Main advantage of dim sum cart is you can see how it looks like instead of just a dish on the menu. And you can have your favorite food right away.
Since their food is very reasonably priced so parking is challenging and you may have to wait over half hour during weekends lunch time. Waiting on Sunday started as early as 11am and still a line when we left before 2pm.“

“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.“

“The food at Sea Harbour is decent, and they cover all the classic dim sum staples well. The service is attentive and the atmosphere is quite pleasant and upscale. However, the menu is somewhat limited compared to other spots, and the prices are quite high. While the quality is there, I personally don't feel it justifies the premium price tag. Good for a formal meal, but maybe not the best value for casual dim sum.“

“The food was very delicious and tasted great. We got to wait to be seated but after that service was smooth. The staff was very attentive and professional. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, overall all we had a great time dinning at this spot.“

“I know this is a big name for Sichuan style cuisines, especially in fish. So we order a family set for 4 ppl. We were both satisfied with the portions and the taste. Overall it was very delicious. Not too salty, ingredients were fresh and good environment.“

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

“We were welcomed and seated as soon as we arrived. Both the service and food were excellent. The crab spring rolls were crispy and tasty and our cocktails of French 75 were served with a flair. I've already recommended to my son and daughter in law that they should go to Little Karp.“

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

“Fresh, delicious, excellent service;“

“had such an awesome experience here! as the restaurant was fully reserved, the team opened up one of their VIP/private rooms for us to dine their without an additional charge. we really appreciated that gesture!

the AYCE was fresh, well marinated, and had a great variety to choose from for a reasonable price. service was great as well. i highly recommend coming to this place for AYCE bbq!“

“Beautiful omakase spot in Richmond with excellent decor and a very elegant atmosphere. The space is thoughtfully designed and feels refined and comfortable. The food was okay overall, but the presentation was nice and the experience was pleasant. A good spot if you appreciate the ambiance and design.“

“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 🤫“

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

“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!“

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

“I love this dim sum restaurant. I've enjoyed it twice, on two different occasions, while overnighting in Richmond on flight stopovers. Both times I went early in the day - just after they open at 10am. This time I thoroughly enjoyed the chrysanthemum tea with my meal. Staff is attentive and food is served hot and quickly. The food is excellent. The restaurant space is huge (lots of professional staff) and tables set with pristine white table cloths. On my stopovers I order enough food to try at the table and then I take the rest with me to enjoy on my flight. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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“

“Glad I only ordered a 1 piece fish and chips! It was so big I could barely finish it. And the calamari was a perfect blend of tender and crispy. The service was friendly, as well as very efficient. Our server seemed to just appear at all the right times. Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the quaintness of the place. It took me back to when I was a kid getting fish and chips at Kits beach. Thanks for a really good experience!“

“Pretty solid spot for poke bowls. The ingredients feel fresh and there are plenty of mix-and-match options so you can build your bowl just the way you like it. Portions are generous and the flavors are bright and tasty without being too heavy. Service is quick and friendly, and the vibe is casual and laid back. good for a quick lunch or a chill bite with friends. Prices are fair for what you get.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Relatively cozy. Better than expected food quality and services. I tried the Peking duck, lobster noodles and sweet and sour pork, There are all very good. Tried the morning dim sums the next day. Unfortunately dim sums are not as good as dinner. 10 percent discount for weekends dimsum was anice surprise.“

“f you’re looking for authentic flavors in Richmond, Neptune Seafood is a must-visit. We had an incredible meal, but two dishes truly stole the show. The steamed black cod with black bean sauce was buttery, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. Equally impressive was the diced beef with mushroom; the beef was remarkably tender and packed with savory umami.

The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed dinner. Highly recommended for anyone craving high-quality Cantonese cuisine!“

“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!“

“Very good dim sum, has that elusive “wok hai”. 20% off and free tea if you get the check before 11am (except holidays). The chicken rice clay pot had lots of chicken and veggies - for only $8.40 after discount! (March 2026). A bargain, will definitely come back!“

“I made a reservation at this restaurant for a Chinese New Year dinner with my family. I asked for a partitioned room, and they fulfilled my request. Alan, one of the managers, helped me to modify one of the CNY set dinner menu to our liking. On the day of the dinner, I brought a bottle of red wine to the dinner, and the restaurant did not charge for any bottle opening fee. All food served were hot and delicious. Some guests expressed they liked the food. Alan and a server dedicated to serve our table were attentive to change our plates and serve drinks. I had a good time that evening. The mall where the restaurant was situated had plenty of parkings, but it might still take a while to find a parking spot as many people came to this mall.

I came to this restaurant for dim sum lunch before as well, and I liked the dim sum selections being offered. You could get discount if you paid the bill by certain time.“

“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.“

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

“Pros:
1. food were delicious. The chicken was really good!
2. Staffs refilled our tea and changed our plate pretty often. In general the service were decent.
3. Food were served at the right speed and right order.

Cons:
1. food portions are on the smaller side in my opinion.
2. We made a reservation but still waited for 20 minutes:/“
