Timmy Kitchen 添味館 | Chinese Seafood Restaurant

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.

Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!!
Fresh ingredients, great taste, fast service. I’ll be going again soon.

Very poor service and very sneaky.
We ordered fries lobster and it came with 4 small pieces of lobster and the rest (over 10 pieces) are crab legs and shell.
It makes your day and trip so annoying and frustrating. You as a tourist can’t get respect from them, so they don’t deserve your respect either.

Worst service. The old women is condescending, full of nonsense, and impatient. Go see a doctor if you have mental issues instead of taking it out on customers.

Walked in at 5:30PM sunny Sunday. Haven’t try the food yet cz the waitress said they are fully booked tonight. We can only seat outside or leave. However 80% of the table are empty from what I can see. It wasn’t mentioned on their website that they take reservation only. The waitress even didn’t tell me an estimated waiting time and just refused me. Very bad altitude.

Old-school and quaint and small Chinese seafood restaurant in Stevenson neighborhood. It’s known in the Chinese community for its fresh seafood because they get it right off the boats and no when the fisherman come in and then go to the docs to get it. They have swimming lobster and crab and fish in the tanks inside the restaurant. The place is in the basement of a building and looks like an old school Chinese hole on the wall restaurant. We sample the garlic and ginger lobster stirfry with rice cake as well as two versions of their prepared fish, one steamed and one with black bean sauce, then also there fresh greens, which were steamed and then also, their baby clams which were stirfried in black bean sauce as well. Overall, the food was passable, and I do think that the restaurant tries to be as authentic as possible, despite indicating that their seafood comes straight from the docks, somehow it did not seem so fresh on the day we tried it. The taste of each dish was actually good but not of exceptional quality. The value for dollar was moderate at best. It does seem to be a neighbourhood joint and serves the community well.

We ordered the crab and rice cakes, back to pot pork, eggs and scallops pancake, and chicken. Out of them all they were all really oily and not very delectable except the crab and rice cakes were superb. Like a 6 stars out of 5 good. You must get it it’s worth every dollar of the price. Everything else is like a 3-4 but that dish is so good and the portions are also really good and it contains carbs proteins and a bit of a sweet savoury tang that counts as a dessert.

The restaurant is in a location that is easy to miss, making it a bit of a hidden gem in Steveston. The food is delicious though, and the owners are very friendly.
