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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was introduced to this place through my friend. I was skeptical at first to try it, but man oh man it was delicious.
I had the beef noodles and it hit the spot, it was cooked very well and the broth was spot on. What I loved more about it was the owner who runs the place. He was so warm and welcoming.
I highly would recommend this place if you want the food to hit the spot and not cause damage to your pocket !“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“Joojak Restaurant was a great find. The food was delicious and full of flavor, with dishes that felt distinct from the typical Chinese fare you usually see. The Northern Chinese influence really comes through—rich, savory flavors without being overly spicy. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!

In addition, the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She took the time to help us choose items from the menu and made sure we were happy and enjoying the meal. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying new items!“

“Came for Valentine's Day and we were not disappointed. A bit on the pricey side, but the restaurant was fully packed and we saw one table of over 15guests accommodated. The service, privacy, and food quality was all excellent. Check out the creative Mango pudding presentation! (It wasn't sweet at all).“

“Wow, such refreshing and chewy dumplings! Absolutely blown away. My husband and I tried the sampler, but opted to replace the squid dumpling and fish dumpling with pork and cabbage as we are not a seafood fan - they were accommodating. So happy that we tried this place!“

“Overall experience here was great! The food was super fresh, customer service was on point as expected and the atmosphere was incredibly lively. There’s so much happening here which can get a bit overwhelming, especially with all of the clashing sounds. You’ve got the main music, birthday celebrations with tambourines and the hand pulled noodle guy that walks around with his own speaker! On top of that, it’s also incredibly busy. The only thing that genuinely made my table uncomfortable was the noodle guy. He came to our table and hit our friend in the face and head with the noodle multiple times. At first it was funny, but as it kept going we got increasingly more uncomfortable. He hit all 3 of us in the faces and the entire experience made us feel really weird. Other than that, everything else was great. The waiting area is super spacious and they have lots to do to keep you distracted and busy while you wait!“

“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.“

“Authentic Xuecai Pork Shredded Pian’er Chuan that truly brings back memories of Hangzhou. The noodles are chewy and flavorful — even better than some I had in Hangzhou. Clean, comfortable fast-casual setting, a nice selection of Jiangnan snacks, and very warm, friendly service. I’ll definitely be a regular. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Zhejiang cuisine.“

“Delicious! Vegan options available and new hours for pickup during the pandemic and lock down. Monday-Saturday=11-9 p.m. and Sunday: 11-6 p.m. Fresh chili sauce to take home in glass jar. Also Dumplings to take home.“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

“I love this place. Service is the best“

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

“Wo’s Chinese Restaurant serves authentic Chinese food with flavors that feel traditional and satisfying. The wonton bowl is generous with plenty of wontons, which is a plus, but the amount of soup is quite limited. It would be better if a bigger bowl were used to accommodate more soup, or if wonton soup refills were offered when reasonably needed.

The restaurant could improve on cleanliness, as it doesn’t feel as well-maintained as expected. On the positive side, there is ample parking space available at the back, making it convenient for customers.

Overall, a good spot for authentic Chinese food, but some improvements in cleanliness and portion balance would greatly enhance the dining experience.“

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

“My first time having Hong Kong style French toast and I wanna go back for more! We also ordered bbq pork siopao, sweet and sour chicken w rice, siomai and mango pudding. We enjoyed everything and service was wonderful!

We went on a weekday evening and was not overly busy. We got seated right away and food came in timely manner.“

“I love the eggplant and beef, it was very crispy and delicious! I also loved that they gave us a soy bean desert for free, and it was very delicious too! The service was wonderful and we didn’t have to wait long until food arrived. I find the atmosphere amazing and I loved the lights and the decorations inside the restaurant!“

“🎂👌各方面都不錯👌😌“

“Reliable and consistent restaurant that you can always count on. Food is good and priced accordingly. Always hits the spot when you need a hot and fast meal. I’ve been coming here since it first open and it’s never a miss! Great space for all party sizes. The floors need a good scrub or deep clean but it’s the nostalgic feel of a good ol’ HK restaurant.“

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

“🥗 Food: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 I tried their A5 rice noodle soup, and the noodles were soft and plain, perfectly soaking up the flavors of the broth. The soup base was fresh, light, and very comforting—simple but satisfying. 🍜

💁🏼 Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience easy and pleasant. They were quick to serve and helpful with recommendations. 😊

🍽️ Environment: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👉🏻 It’s a small restaurant tucked along the street, so it’s not the easiest to spot at first. But once inside, it feels cozy and authentic, perfect for enjoying a comforting bowl of noodles. 🌸🏮“

“Another one of Vancouver’s culinary Chinese hotspots.
If you’re looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine, this is definitely the place to go.
The beef and tripe dish were excellently flavoured with a perfect blend of spices. A nice hint of Szechuan peppercorns gives this the authentic flavour and slight numbing of the tongue.
The fried rice was well flavoured and perfectly seasoned. A little bit disappointing with the frozen vegetables, but still a very good fried rice nonetheless.
I highly recommend this place and I am looking forward to trying more of their amazing dishes“

“My husband brought me here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. He was recommended to come by a friend and we were glad we came.

The owner was so nice and had messaged my husband with recommendations of dishes to try (some of which were not on the menu).

All his dishes were amazing and so delicious. As he is the only chef, dishes took a while to come out but we did not mind the wait at all. The server was nice and tended to us when we needed anything.

It was definitely worth our trip to downtown for this restaurant. Highly recommended!!“

“Busy busy place. Went there for dim dim as a large group. Reservations a must as there is always long line ups. Food was hot and portions were generous. We missed the special pricing as it was a holiday so it didn't apply. Still good value.“

“5 stars is not enough. Not only is the food fresh and delicious but the service is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It’s run by a husband and wife and they are so generous and compassionate you can tell they thrive off taking care of their community. Love this place, 10/10 would come back again!“

“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!“

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

“I am so impressed with their lunch specials! My fave was the green beans and beef with the hot and sour soup. Usually with lunch specials at restaurants the soup is small with scant things in it but their soup was LOADED with stuff (including a few little shrimp). The whole meal (with tea!) is just 13.95!! I don't know if they can continue to afford such a good deal for long so I plan to try and enjoy it as much as possible:). Also went there with a a few colleagues for family style and delicious.“

“If I could give Happy Lamb Vancouver 10 stars, I honestly would. The value here is unbeatable—the portions, the quality, and the overall experience are worth every dollar. The restaurant is spotless every time I visit, and you can tell they take real pride in keeping everything clean and comfortable. On top of that, the staff are incredible: friendly, attentive, and always willing to help without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that nails great food, great service, and great atmosphere all at once, but this one does it perfectly“

“If you’re looking for a cheap and tasty place to eat a satisfying dish of Chinese food in downtown Vancouver, this is the right place for you!!

I’ve been going to their restaurant for a while now, and they have never let me down with their flavors! I deeply appreciate this place and its family-driven environment.

Take-out only, though.“

“Family run. Fresh hand made noodles.

I had high expectations. Really, I enjoyed each component the vegetables, the meat, the flavor the noodles.

This is one of the best noodle places I've been to in years, price was very fair.

I recommend this place to support local.

Also has good ice cream.“

“My family and I order from here frequently and it’s always good but today’s delivery was exceptional. Maybe I was extra hungry today but the food preparation to the packing was sublime. Fried rice, Mabo tofu, chili chicken were all wonderfully delicious! Thank you!“

“love this place! been here multiple times! portions are great for large groups. service is very good. normally i ordered the duck, this time, we tried spicy basa fish! and it’s really good! parking is also available at the back! a great place for spicy food lover! definitely recommend!“

“Fell into this place by accident while visiting Vancouver. So glad we did. Wonder to see the noodles made. cumin lamb was out of this world as was the scallion pancake. Peanut noodles portion was huge, we couldn't finish it. Price was very reasonable. Will return next time we visit. Located on W Broadway.“

“I've been coming here for 15+ years and can't imagine why this lovely, impeccably clean and relatively healthy-ish restaurant doesn't have 4.5/5 reviews or higher. The food is so good. It is the right amount of Chinese food you want when you're hung over or also just want delicious Chinese food on a week night. The woman who runs the place is super friendly. The menu choices is perfect - all the classic things to love without being overwhelming . Honestly, it's simply wonderful.“

“I always come here when I want rice clay pot. The food is tasty and they give you the bottle of sweet soy for the dish so you can add what you need without having to ask for more. Also got the fried chicken cartilage which was my first time ordering it there - breaded and fried to perfection and the added toppings gave it a nice refreshing edge. Definitely come for the food. It's not one of those places that's all flashy themeing and no substance to the food (or worse, mediocre fare).“

“Small restaurant that punched well above it's weight class. Every dim sum was freshly made and delicious. Honestly, I've never gone here in years but decided to try. Now I know what I have been missing. Not too busy and very friendly staff. I will be back to try the dinner menu.“

“I came here in a rainy afternoon with a very hungry tummy after looking at their lunch combo signage for a while. Eventually I decided to give it a try.

The restaurant interior has a very casual and mediocre eatery layout. When I got in there some servers were having lunch so only one server was serving the guests. There wasn’t many guests that day as usual. The server was attentive and caring.

I ordered the combo of pork and preserved egg congee with the steamed glutinous rice with chicken in lotus leaf (Lo Mai Gai). The portion were good. Congee was nice and they had three pieces of Lo Mai Gai which is surprisingly good in terms of quantity. I had eaten all three and got so stuffed afterward. Overall it was satisfying.

This restaurant offers many choices of Chinese fishes including seafoods dishes of crabs and lobsters. It would be better for a group like family dinner as the prices are generally high compared to the peers.“

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

“Been meaning to try Kung Fu Noodle for years. It's located on a smaller side street just off Kingsway.

We ordered the Kung Fu Beef Roll ($12.95) which was not bad. The pancake had a nice chewy but crisp texture. Wish it had a bit more sauce with it tho.

The Beef Chow Mein and Fried Squid combo ($23.95) is not like chow mein that you get at other restaurants. These hand-cut noodles have a thicker shape and better mouthfeel. Wasn't a big fan of the squid which seemed to have a light fish and chip batter.

General Tso's Chicken on Rice ($16.50) had a sweet and slightly spicy flavour but a lightly crispy exterior.

The best thing to get here are the noodles. If we come back, we'll want to try their noodle soups.

The place is cash or debit only and service isn't their strong suit.“

“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.“

“A Chinese diner style place, like the old-Vancouver diners. (the good old). They serve a great affordable breakfast all day. 🥞 As well as great take away style Chinese food.
It's popular with locals and never stupid-crowded or weirdly trendy.“

“The pineapple buns were fresh and delicious. Same goes with the house cooked BBQ pork! But the BBQ pork, fried egg on rice was $19.95 😱😱😱“

“Yessir. Food is great quality and delicious af“

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

“My partner and I absolutely love this place. So many gluten free options and as celiacs we have not had any issues. Ordered a few times now and it has always been a great experience. Super friendly service. We call the restaurant and use their delivery person rather than Uber Eats, etc.
Highly recommend and so happy we found our new ‘Go To’ spot for Chinese food.“

“Great food and very friendly staff! We had a great meal this evening and were served by Bobby and another kind gentleman. Service was excellent, quick and efficient. I recommend the roast pork and the rice bucket was great for 2-3 people! Prices are very reasonable. This was my first time here after living in Vancouver for a year and I will definitely be back.“

“Sarap! Grabe. Beyond expectations. Kudos“
