Chef's Choice Seafood Restaurant

Kinda disappointed of this SEAFOOD restaurant:
- the garlic scallop is using this super cheap synthetic scallop.
- do not have rockfish without pre-order. Available fish selections are very limited.

Other than seafood, all dishes are very tasty!

Food was good and the staff was kind. However, the vinyl table cloth smelled of bleach which made it hard to enjoy the food. Also, occasionally, a strong wiff of pine sol cleaner smell came out of the inner side of the restaurant which made it even harder to breathe.
I was concerned about aerosol contamination of these toxic chemicals on my food.

For a restaurant featured on the Michelin Guide, Chef's Choice is a very solid restaurant all around. It's got a very nice interior atmosphere, with tasteful decor.

Quick and attentive staff and service, combined with incredibly good dim sum and other Cantonese dishes, which makes Chef's Choice my choice for Vancouver dim sum places.

I came in at 11:15 am and was the first table of the day. Service was excellent, likely helped by how quiet it was, and the staff were very attentive. The food was decent overall, and I really appreciate that they don’t use MSG. Another plus is that there’s plenty of parking available, which makes it very convenient. A good spot for a casual dim sum meal without the usual rush.”

It was okay, but the price didn’t match the quality. It was like standard dimsum at a higher price. Maybe it’s justified since it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant. The service was attentive, but it didn’t live up to the hype of delicious Hong Kong-style dimsum.

Looking for a Christmas dinner and the GM Anthony served us and was absolutely wonderful. The food was also easily the best Chinese cuisine I’ve had in my memory. Will definitely be coming back.

I really like this restaurant in the past. Booked a table for dim sum ,but when my family arrived, door said closed for renovations. Restaurant didn't even bother to call me. So luckily went to Chiu Chow in city Square and got us in.

What a horrible experience! We booked 2 weeks ahead for our dad's 70th. When we arrived on Jan 4 evening, the place is closed. We called and they said "oh well, that's how it is." The manager couldn't explain why and told us that is the way it is. With 12 people stranded, we had to look elsewhere last minute, and luckily we worked it out at a nearby restaurant. Do not book here. They were chained from inside and the manager told us he cannot get in.
Save yourself the trouble from the this shady business.

Dim sum tastes pretty good; they also have other dishes but we were there for dim sum only.
We found this restaurant on Christmas day!

It was a Saturday night when I booked a birthday party dinner. Needed reservations because it was a busy place. Their food is mostly Cantonese style done well. Prices are on the higher side but I thought it was done well. Room was really loud maybe because there were 5 tables celebrating something. Staff was very involved with clapping and singing birthday songs for all the tables. I would definitely come back.

If you’re unsure what to order for lunch at Chef’s Choice, the lunch combo A for 4 people at $118.80 is a solid choice. It includes deep-fried sticky rice with chicken, truffle and pork dumplings, deep-fried shrimp toast, steamed salted egg yolk custard buns, poached choy sum with garlic, and stir-fried rice noodles with beef.

The sticky rice with chicken stood out, and the rice noodles were enjoyable. While the custard buns and truffle siomai were good, I’ve had better version elsewhere. However, as a combo, this one is still a great option.

Service was excellent, and we were seated comfortably at a round table. Victor, the manager was friendly too. The location is convenient in Vancouver with free parking, and the overall value is good. I would return probably for the king crab!!!

Dibs: Psst it’s on sale for half the price for $300+ only in 3-ways.
