50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Vancouver

“Went for the Lunar New Year dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. The New Moon cocktail was incredible.“

“I’m so glad we went here for an unexpected dinner. My group had a hankering for dim sum….but it was dinner time. A quick text to a buddy had us going here and oh my gosh. The owner/server were the absolute best. True happy friendly Chinese salt of the earth people. The food, top notch, and fast and just so tasty. I haven’t found a place like this yet in my city of Calgary, but I sure hope I can soon. Will be back again and again.“

“We had a great time and really enjoyed the food. The staff is very friendly and elegant. We particularly appreciated the service and special efforts by our server William.“

“Great dim sum and service! Our server Teresa was so great and gave us great recommendations! We ordered scallop and prawn dumplings, xlb, congee, xiumai, tendon and rice rolls and they were all a hit! Also good location so you can go to tnt afterwards!“

“🎂👌各方面都不錯👌😌“

“The food here is pretty good and we didn’t experience any poor service. The wait staff were actually really nice. There was one lady who we didn’t have much interaction with who seemed to have a bit of an attitude.

The free 2hr parking below ground is really good. The place is overall fairly comfortable. They have nice high ceilings and it doesn’t feel too loud or crowded inside.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Kirin Chinese Restaurant, and the experience was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—especially thanks to Eddie Ng, the Senior Assistant Manager. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression and truly elevated our visit.

We came for dim sum, and every dish was exquisitely prepared—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality and tradition in each bite. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, making it a perfect setting for both family gatherings and special occasions.

Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend Kirin, and a big thank you to Eddie Ng for making it so memorable“

“Tried their beef noodles ? it was pretty good for the pricing but the reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because they do offer some cool homemade stuff to take home if you ever wish like their homemade beef Jerky and their spicy sauce if you want to add it to a soup you make at home.“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“I’ve been meaning to try this Xian restaurant for a long time ever since hearing really good things about this place and reading the reviews on-line. I was not disappointed. Everything was so flavourful and fresh tasting. The hand pulled noodles have a very pleasant “bouncy” texture, the sauces were flavour without tasting overly salty or oily. The spices were fragrant and had just the right amount of heat to balance the flavours of the meat and vegetables. And the really quick and friendly service added to a very pleasing dining experience. The dining room is very modest and this place is best suited for a quick family meal and then to move on to run your errands…and not to take up a spot while others are waiting for their turn to eat this exquisite food!“

“Recommended for lunch from Monday to Friday, the beef is undisputed yyds for 2.99 a serving. The flow of people is less than that of RMD, but the quality is not bad at all. The waiter, Miss Luna, is very attentive. She is the best in both Haidilao. The service and food are very good, but the parking space is a bit small.“

“For people who don't know the flavor of the rainbow dumplins, the dumpling's colors match with the colors of the numbers, so you'll know the flavor by reading the titles.

Hands down the best dumplings in this price range. Actually, I haven't had any better restaurant dumplings in Vancouver than this one.“

“Nice patio, great service, delicious food! Highly recommended!“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

“Great service. Great food. Simple as that.“

“Spend long time Analyzing restaurant on google map and found this place. It didn’t disappoint me. The Bread, Siumai and noodles are really good. The ingredients are fresh and athletic. Had a chat with the owner, she told me the vegetable in the bread was shipped from China and it was grown on someone backyard. I can tell they have a passion on making good food. I would love to visit again next time in Vancouver.“

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“First time hot potting. The waiter was so helpful and the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again!“

“It's probably a good thing I don't live nearby, else I'd be eating multiple pastries a day, everyday.

Everything's good. Seriously. The cha su bao's got a soft, fluffy bun and savory meat. Sesame balls are bursting with filling. The pluto had yummy citrus undertones. Most surprising was probably the red bean donut with its sugary coating. And of course, the dan tat had the perfect consistency.“

“A great place for a healthy and light noodles. Food is great as well as the service. Other than preselected choices, you can pick your individual vegetables, noodle types and meat options.
The owner is very attentive to the customers, and very kind and helpful. Feels like being at home.
Recommended!!!“

“Ever since I was a child, I’ve seen this restaurant and always wondered how it was. I would bus to school and stand at the bus stop right infront of the restaurant not knowing the gem that was behind me. Fast forward MANY years later and I finally tried it. And the regret I had of not coming sooner hit me. I feel like I wasted so much time trying other Chinese restaurants. Because this to me is my favourite Chinese restaurant and it’s not even close. I’ve been a regular ever since the day I tried it. I highly reccomend it to anyone. Typically at other restaurants I’m scared to try other items on the menu that I normally don’t get. But here at Wo’s I haven’t had a bad experience with any item on the menu. Everything literally tastes amazing. Wo’s is the restaurant I recommend to everyone when they want Chinese food!“

“JE N'AI JAMAIS GOÛTÉ , MAIS ÇA SE VOIT COMME DÉLICIEUX BIENTÔT JE VEUX ESSAYER . MERCI“

“I had a very pleasant dining experience here. The handmade noodles were exceptional, full of flavor and texture. The restaurant had a bright yet cozy vibe, with a local, authentic feel. The staff were kind and tried their best to assist with a smile, even if their English was limited—which, in my experience, often means the food is the real deal, and it definitely was. Prices are also very reasonable. I'd say, come try their noodles—they’re really good!“

“My fav restaurant in Van. For people who love spicy food, this restaurant is definitely worth trying. Food is amazing and their service, too. Definitely will come back again.

You can also ask for parking code for free parking, very easy.“

“Been here almost every month since I knew about this place.
Foods are great, and the staffs, like Emma, are so kind and nice, even noticing me coming back.
I love the way it feels like home coming to this establishment.
Will come back again for sure, just like I did past few months.“

“Ordered the “Soft and Smooth” combo and it tastes good. Everything mixed together well with the soup under and the refreshing cucumber balances the hearty noodles. However I think it is missing some fragrances to be a dish that people will come back for. Small cozy place with bright decorations, service is friendly but may need more staffs due to high volume at lunchtime ☺️“

“The Tofu Rice and the lamb stew was very good. Good portion of chicken and the congee was very smooth.one thing I will point out is I do recommend this place as it offers a good selection of food and a decent dining environment. Bring your family and friends and give it a try!“

“We come here often because it's close to our family. The food is very standard dim sum, nothing special. I usually order the pan fried turnip cakes - it's usually really delicious but the last few times it has been dry, flavorless and bland. The rice rolls are a little too dry as well. They do have delicious baked BBQ pork buns though and their fried dishes are usually good.

The service is always 👍. They're very personable and friendly, and very efficient.

Go in the morning. It gets extremely busy once 1130am comes around.“

“This is a truly hidden gem in Vancouver Downtown
We keep coming back to Kin’s as this is by far the best Chinese bistro in Vancouver!
The chef puts so much love into every dish, making each one perfect.
Since it is a one-man show, so be expected the dinner may takes hours, but it’s totally worth it.
Don’t come here if you want fast food—this place is for enjoying slow, incredible meals.
Advanced reservation recommended“

“Ordered takeout. The items tasted great, th GaiLan with garlic was soft and so flavorful, congee was slightly salty from the shredded pork(maybe). The bbq duck was sooo good. Definitely recommend that.

Parking: The parking is behind the store with limited spots though there is street parking available.“

“We often drive up from Seattle to Vancouver for the purpose of eating GOOD Chinese food. Today we went to Noodle Arts for the first time and OMG.....I'm in love and might have to just move here!!!! We are vegetarian and they were very accommodating with many choices on the menu. The hand-pulled MADE TO ORDER Dan Dan noodles were out of this world and you get to choose the diameter of the noodles you'd like. We chose the thickest (5mm) and they were so fresh and chewy. I was in culinary heaven. The sauce the noodles were in was divine. We also ordered Spicy Salted Tofu and the portion was immense. The tofu was fried but very dry and not oily at all. For dessert we order the red bean pancake and it was not great and very oily. The woman who waited on us was very friendly and helpful. Even the tea was yummy. Can't wait to go again!“

“I've ordered from here before and have been pleased with the taste of all of their dishes. For Christmas this year, I wanted to order a lobster. I was told that the lobster was $20/lb and they would charge for cooking it separately. Noodle was extra too, but it was $1 more. I pre-ordered it and asked for a 2 to 2.5lb lobster. On Christmas day, I came to pick it up and was shocked that the price was over $95 for the lobster. My head is still reeling over this. Even if the lobster was $40 to $50, I was charged the same for having it cooked which is strange. I understand it was a special order and they don't stock lobsters in the restaurant. They would have to acquire it from a seafood provider then prepare it.

Update: It was a pricey lobster but it was very well prepared. The green onion and ginger sauce was delicious and the Yee Mein at the bottom was good too. My recommendation is to charge $100 for a lobster with noodles. Don't even mention the labor. When asked how big the lobster is, say its about 2lb. That way, there's no misunderstanding or sticker shock.“

“I love this place!! The food is so delicious and the couple are genuinely the nicest people. The food is so fresh, healthy, and tasty. They always make me feel so welcome when I visit. Every time I order from here it’s the best, I fully recommend everyone to go here!!“

“I went in with no expectations, but wow, this place blew me away! The broth and the Dandan noodles were incredibly flavorful—absolutely delicious. We also tried the beef roll, and it did not disappoint! I’m usually a bit picky with Asian food, but this spot made my taste buds so happy. The noodles tasted so authentic, and as a Korean, it even reminded me a lot of flavors from home. I think other Korean food lovers would really enjoy it too. Definitely a hidden gem worth visiting!“

“An amazing hole in the wall serving chinese food/american diner food, hidden in plane sight on commercial drive. The store isn't much to look at but they have the best chinese food I've had in vancouver and their diner food is also off the charts! And it's all super reasonably priced deliciousness service is always top notch and the delicous food is aerved with a smile you can order out or eat in both are amazing. I love Kyle's and hope they're opened for another 30 years!!! My go to spot for cheap chinese food eats!

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as any other Chinese food restaurant is

Wheelchair accessibility: They're wheelchair friendly I've seen many people in wheelchairs eating here“

“This is a really cool and authentic Chinese restaurant selling all the delicious noodles, dim sum, and anything you can dream of. Their LanZhou noodles have the most umami soup filled with beef flavor. And the hand cut noodles with cumin lamb is also sooo flavorful.“

“Great for family! Would recommend to a friend or family member“

“Had dinner here twice last week while visiting Richmond, everything we had was awesome, no wonder the place looks so busy everytime we drove by. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion, service was friendly, fast and efficient, hard to find in chinese restaurants, Wish you would open a branch here in Calgary.“

“I recommend reserving 2-3 days in advance if you wish to have dim sum brunch here on the weekend.

My favourites: stir fried green beans with minced meat, beef tendon, deep fried green scallion pancake, shu mai, fried stuffed eggplant

Wasn’t too impressed by: chicken feet, egg tart, rice noodles with beef, pai gwat fan, or hum sui kok

Overall service was very courteous, not quite rushing but efficient in removing empty dishes, no complaints since it was understandably a very busy Saturday lunch session (every table was full by 12pm, walk-ins had to be turned away at the door)

They no longer sell steamed rice rolls (I wanted to get the one stuffed with fried donut or shrimp). Seems the menu has shrunk a bit, probably to make the kitchen run more efficiently + reduce waste / costs.

My family like to dine here so I’ll probably be back but there are equally good if not better dim sum places around Vancouver.“

“I often order the lunch special, and the food is always delicious. The portions are generous enough that I often have leftovers for dinner. The dishes aren't greasy, and you can tell everything is freshly cooked. The staff is kind, and the atmosphere is cozy—overall, a great place to dine!“

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

“Top tier Chinese BBQ! Elevated so don't expect the same prices as the old BBQ houses, but it's worth every penny. Has the HK style BBQ pork, crispy roasted pork, duck, gailan with garlic oil, and the curry beef brisket. All were great. Cute retro Chinese decor.“

“For a chinese restaurant that caters to the more budget friendly spectrum, the service here was surprisingly excellent - which is shocking for budget chinese restaurants lol!

But besides the good service, food here is also very decent especially when we factor in price - which is one of the more value-oriented dim sum places around in GVRD area. Within the same class, this place is at least another 10-15% cheaper which makes a big difference.

Taste / seasoning is on the lighter side, wok-hei (breath of wok) and flavours are slightly more muted but overall still good for the price.

Ambience is nothing special. The restaurant is packed on a weekday lunch service which says something - not bad.

Will return!“

“Quality and taste is the same everytime you visit.“

“I ordered almond chicken and chicken chow mein for takeout.
I had heard the restaurant was busy, but I was able to receive my order in about 15 minutes.
When I got home and tried the food, I found it to be of high quality and very delicious.“

“delicious food, quite place, excellent service“

“We have a family dinner for Autumn Moon Festival tonight, our favourites were definitely the Roast BBQ Goose, crispy skin and juicy inside. All of the other dishes were delicious: black pepper Wagyu and photos, our kids are enjoy the sweet and sour pork in whole Pineapple etc.
Overall, the dining experiences was great!

Parking: #51 - 60 restaurant parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids like the sweet and sour pork in whole Pineapple.“

“Came here for the dim sum on a weekday and the place was packed. 3 of us went and we all agreed it was tasty. The serving sizes were 20% larger then most places. Prices are average but because they give you more it is a good value. Service was lacking they didnt have enough staff. We all agreed this place was a 8/10.“

“Iron Wok is a truly beautiful mom-and-pop restaurant that embodies kindness and authenticity. The owners are incredibly warm-hearted, making every visit a delightful experience. Their food is absolutely delicious and unpretentious, prepared with care and love. I highly recommend trying their Dinner for Two box – it’s a perfect way to enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal. Support this local treasure; they truly deserve it! — Peter Sammarco @ Dexter REALTY“

“Got takeout here a couple weeks back. This place reminds me of a Chinese restaurant I used to go to when I was a kid in the UK. Really fresh ingredients, not greasy like you get at some other places and very generous portions for the price. This is definitely going to be my go to for Chinese food! Thank you “
