Cantonese Restaurants in Vancouver, BC

“Best experience in a restaurant in a long time! Walked in and there was a wait. No issues. They worked around and we were seated within 5 minutes. The man who sat us, went over the menu and made suggestions. We followed, but got roasted pork, soy sauce chicken, bbq pork fried rice, and Chinese broccoli. Walked out happy and full. This ended up being our destination in Vancouver. Eating leftovers tonight.“

“We have lunched and dinned here for decades, through changes and renovations.
The service attained and maintained a consistent level of efficiency and courtesy for the last 2 decades.
We enjoy the dim sums which are always delicate, light but flavourful.
For dinner, some spectacular dishes require pre-orders. We always enjoyed the braised duck on a bed of savoury mixed mushroom (forgot the proper name of the dish), and many more.“

“Delicious Beijing roasted duck - probably the best I had in Vancouver. The skin is crispy and the meat is still juicy. You can tell that this is freshly prepared and with skill. The first course presents the duck cut in 2 different styles - skin only and skin with meat. I like both and I like the variety even more. 2nd course is served minced to accompany lettuce wrap.
I love the Tuesday promotional price too. Place is packed and everyone was ordering the duck.
I felt such joy eating this delicacy!“

“食物好吃 服務也好 環境亦好“

“Good was delicious, very good service staff! Reasonable price too!“

“Found a gem at Broadway. Introduced to this Chinese restaurant as I was in the vicinity and their food quality was impressive. Ordered their famous dumpling soup and prawn toast. Their char siew are tasty too.

Chef’s Choice Seafood Restaurant is a solid choice for classic Cantonese dining and it is easy to see why it has earned recognition in the Michelin Guide. We ordered several dim sum dishes, along with the soya sauce chicken and deep-fried pigeon. The dim sum was well executed, with fresh ingredients and traditional flavours. The soya sauce chicken was tender, juicy, and nicely seasoned without being overly salty. The highlight was the deep-fried pigeon, featuring crispy skin and succulent meat with plenty of flavour. Service was efficient despite the busy atmosphere, making it a satisfying meal for both locals and visitors.“

“Yes but needs better AC, otherwise everything is decent“

“Good food! Yummy!“

“Was excited to try but the food was just okay. But it may have a lot to do with the fact that I spent many years in Asia so the bar is high. Staff are nice. They don't take cash but they do accept US dollars so not a problem for an American tourist.“

“Food is good and fresh.
But be careful with the gift card promo. If they know you’re using a gift card, they’ll say they don’t have smaller sizes (like crab, king crab, or certain fish), and then push you to order bigger, more expensive ones.
You end up spending more than you planned and getting way too much food that you can’t even finish. Kind of feels misleading.“

“The food was super awesome! Our waitress was really nice, and service was always fast. All of the dishes were fresh, and we ordered the scrambled eggs and beef, fried rice, lobster and noodles, a seafood dish and the beef soup. My daughter ate most of the lobster, and she said it was really delicious. We really think this is a very good restaurant!“

“Today was my first time trying Hong Kong style pastries and they didn't disappoint, I did not know what to get but the man behind the counter helped me pick, even though it was my first trying a Red Bean Paste bun, I highly recommend it, it is so fluffy, airy and flavorful, not overly sweet.

I'll have to try the restaurant next time, am definitely coming back.“

“Congee Noodle King is a classic spot back in the day when you wanted some good “sui yeh”. Since COVID, the closing hours have been reduced but you can still have a decent bite to eat!
If you’re in the mood for delicious congee (which they have the craziest variety of) and satisfying noodle dishes like the swirly egg shrimp noodle, this is the place! They’ve done some recent renovations to the place and added more tables. Previously, it was a bit dated and I’m glad they added some more spots as the restaurant tends to be a bit overpacked.
It’s a place where you can expect generous portions, reasonable prices, and consistent wok hei flavoured dishes. Beyond congee and noodles, the menu also includes a wide range of Cantonese-style dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, seafood and a variety of the classic sweet and sour pork/chicken, fried proteins and soups. My go-to dishes are:
Swirly egg shrimp noodle
Salty fish and chicken fried rice
Sweet and sour pork chops
Seafood Chow Mein (crispy)
Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket with Noodle

The service can be hit or miss, sometimes they are so busy you may not get a tea refill or get your order in. A majority of reviews I find always complain about the “service” or servers being rude, but that’s just how they come off to be. They are trying their best and English is not their first language, so please be patient and nice to the staff!“

“Yessir. Food is great quality and delicious af“

“They allow you to bring your own container(s), which is great because this place is take-out only! If you get rice with two ingredients, and possibly other combinations as well, they also include a few pieces of vegetables (yu choy 油菜) for you 😊“

“湯好正冇味精真材實料好方便👍😋 點心及其他菜式都好好味 送上門的服務非常好又客氣👏😋😍. Leftover Freeze pack of healthy soup, adding some water and boiling, so good 👍😋🙏“

“Delicious!! The best Chinese food I have found in years! Loved it!“

“Definitely the comfort food for my Chinese stomach! Congee and noodles are their signature dishes, but they also serve seafood as well! Friendly staff and family-style ambience. We came here for lunch, so it’s not very busy. They have opened for 28 years, and so many loyal customers have become friends with staff.
The seafood congee is smooth and savory; and their beef brisket noodles is also impressive. The beef is cooked to the exact tenderness! All other dishes are delicious. Such a good place to go if I'm longing for something soothing :)“

“It not my first time there. The food at this place has always been good , very authentic and a truthful representative of Chinese cuisine at its best . The dishes are generous in quantities . This time it wasn’t any different. I did choose three dishes from the dim sum menu at I was not disappointed. The food came in less than 10 minutes and was very fresh and testy. The food came along with a pot of fresh and testy tea. The service was friendly. I cannot say too much about the atmosphere this time because the place was empty, but I usually go there at night time and it’s quite full with dinners. Highly recommended.“

“This is our go to whenever we have small or big family gatherings. Fortune City has a good variety of Chinese dishes, ranging from soups, noodles, rice, vegetables and protein!
The dishes do have the “wok hei” which is something im always looking for when I try out a new restaurant. They have been consistent with their food quality and service. The reason why I gave it a lower score on the atmosphere is the restaurant is quite dated and the interior hasn’t really changed for many years. The bathrooms, especially for the men’s, can be cleaned and maintained a bit better. The chairs and tables are fine, but at times the seats have big stains or tears. Again, nothing to do with the food but does affect the overall rating!
Their dinner sets are pretty good if you have a big group. The noise can get quite loud but expected especially during peak dinner hours or on the weekends. My recommendation is to book ahead of time and reserve a table. Dim sum is also good here, though the only drawback again is sometimes when it is busy, even when you have reserved a table, you might get put on a wait list still. There aren’t too many good spots in Vancouver left like this place, I would recommend it overall to anyone, both new to Chinese food or have been looking for anther place to add to their go-to list!“

“This restaurant is small and cozy, with about ten tables, and the prices are very reasonable. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet my expectations. Every dish I ordered tasted extremely light. While I appreciate that they seem to avoid MSG, the flavors were so mild that I found myself hesitating with every bite.

I ordered the fish congee, and the fish arrived as one large piece rather than slices. The congee itself had almost no fish taste at all. What surprised me most is how busy the restaurant was. Perhaps affordability is the main reason people come, but personally, I prefer stronger flavors and better quality.“

“One of the better BBQ Pork, Char Siew and Octopus in Vancouver. I haven't tried regular dishes as not the kind of places that I want beside the BBQ foods. Waitress is a little chaos as they really not too organized. Noisy joint so probably better just to takeaway.“

“The service here was really good. Food was delicious. I recommended this restaurant! �����“

“One of the best for dim sum“

“place is clean, server speak English, pictures menu web and reality accurate. fast service. the server's gave an option. good to have quick meals under 30mnt you food ready“

“I am biased but I go here almost every week for my weekly dose of HK style cafe. The place have plentiful seating. It is cash only though which is the only down side. The servers are all very nice. Can order things in Cantonese/mandarin too for those who care.“

“Came here with a family of 8. Food is high quality. But you get what you pay for, so be prepared to spend at least $400-$500 if you are coming with a large group.

Dietary restrictions: Have veggie options but not recommend for hardcore vegetarians & vegans

Kid-friendliness: Yes.

Wheelchair accessibility: None. Disappointing but that‘s the only downside to this place“

“Very happy we dropped by this neighborhood hk style cafe.
Noodle soup with beef and tendon in preserved duck egg soup ... one of the best i have had in the last 5 years..big portion and lots of fresh mushroom and Napa vegetables. Noodle soup with hk style milk tea only $17.95 is a good value these days. Comfortable seating..“

“Good service, food was fast and relatively friendly staff.“

“好食就是好食，不用廢話。 Good 就是 good, 為什麼一定要 25個字 ？“
