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.“

“This is your “must go place” for authentic hot pot experience. We celebrated my husband’s birthday there today.

Food is so tasty with so many choices of soup bases. Spicy flavour tomato flavour are highly recommended. Beef quality is the best. We ordered 12 dishes of meat for four adults. Free ice cream is provided as well.

Service cannot be better. They have had the table decorated for us with happy birthday signs. Can you believe that the server even helped us to peel shrimp shells! My baby is only one year old and he was fussy sometimes. Different servers came with different types of toys to make him happy.

On our way back home, I got a call from Jessie that she apologized for not singing a happy birthday song for my husband. She even dropped a whole package of birthday gifts to our house with our permission.

I can never forget this best service I have ever had.“

“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.“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“their noodles are known for their springy texture and their rich broth or sauce, giving them a distinctly Northern Chinese character and a very satisfying bite. The overall style leans toward bold seasoning and hearty, home-style flavors, with cumin, meat aroma, and the handmade noodle texture standing out; it’s a good fit for diners who like dishes with personality and depth. The must-try dishes include roujiamo, hand-pulled noodles, and pan-fried dumplings, which best represent the restaurant’s flavors. price is reasonable“

“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!“

“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 !“

“I had an incredible meal here recently. The quality of the food was outstanding. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.

I particularly loved how fresh the vegetables looked in all of our plates. The combination of broccoli and vibrant red peppers in the noodle dishes was a highlight. You can really tell they care about the ingredients they use. I will definitely be back again soon.“

“Great mom & pop spot for tasty Chinese food. Simple dishes done very well and cheap. Owners are very nice and offered more rice as I was eating. They even offered me an orange at the end of my meal. I had to decline both as I was full. I ordered the black pepper chicken. Support local!“

“Yes! They’re open 7 days/week noon-730pm (Posted Google hours are incorrect).
Owner is so kind and the food is very fresh and flavorful. It’s also a bonus you don’t feel like you’re being ripped off. There’s something charming about being in a dated mall with tons of natural light as you enjoy your meal.
Will be returning regularly.“

“Had a great experience at Happy Lamb Hot Pot in Vancouver. The soup base was rich and flavorful, and the meat and vegetables were fresh. The lamb was especially good, with great texture and no strong gamey taste. The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable for eating with friends or family. Portions were generous and the price felt reasonable for the quality. Definitely a solid hot pot spot in Vancouver — I’d come back again.“

“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.“

“Tried the beef siu mai and the preserved mustard greens pork noodle soup：both were delicious! The beef siu mai was flavorful and juicy, and the noodles were comforting and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Overall a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back.“

“This restaurant is a must try if you have a craving for western Chinese food! The flavours are good, portion sizes are even better, and the added discount if you place a pick-up order by phone is a sweet extra bonus. I'd highly recommend.“

“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.“

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“Very nice unassuming restaurant. They have just a simple noodles only menu and they execute very well. We had the chicken noodle soup and dry beef shank noodles. Highly recommended. The chicken soup broth has a home-made taste. Not too salty so it’s the type of broth you tend to finish rather than leaving it behind. I would come back again

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

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

“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.“

“食物好吃 服務也好 環境亦好“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Incredible food!!!! Husband and I enjoyed the premiere Omakase meal and it was unreal and unforgettable! Every bite was delicious but it was so cool to watch the chef prepare each piece of fish. It was quiet and delicate and very clear the care and effort required for this meal. We’re from out of town but this was such a great find and experience for us!!“

“This is a hidden gem on Fraser St that my mom’s friend recommended. I like that the food isn’t too oily or salty which is common in many restaurants. I recommend the beef rolls. A tip: unless you like sweet hoisin sauce, request to have it removed from the rolls or to reduce the sauce as there’s a lot of it inside. I also liked the soup noodles with lamb and vegetables. It is refreshing although it may be mild in taste but that is what I prefer. I did wish they put more cabbage and vegetables in it.

The menu has a wide variety of mostly northern Chinese dishes. Don’t expect much decor here as the menu prices reflect that.

Also, remember to have a debit card or cash with you. They don’t accept credit card.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at this Chinese restaurant! The dishes were bursting with authentic flavors, and the variety on the menu was impressive. The dumplings were perfectly crafted, and the kung pao chicken had just the right balance of spice and savoriness. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more!“

“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.“

“The Xiaohongshu recommendation didn’t let me down — it’s seriously spicy, so satisfying, makes you sweat, and goes perfectly with rice. The taste is absolutely amazing. This Sichuan dish is top-tier, no flaws at all. The portion size matches the price perfectly. Delicious, highly recommend!“

“We love the quality ingredients, very delicious flavors and hot quick service from Connies. Its consistently great tasting chinese food. They are wonderful and kind here, and really understand customer service! A true gem 💎 ✨️
The chow mein is everything 🙌. To me 😉“

“Love the design and atmosphere of restaurant, before ordering the staff was incredibly nice and gave me some recommendation. I tried the meal for two which taste great overall and very flavorful with all the different kind of meat. But the beef and lamb is blended a little which I would recommend just getting single flavor if you mind other flavors, definitely recommend trying“

“I used to go there a few times per week between 2016-2020 when they were nearby Yaletown, I always ordered beef fried rice to the point that the owners will ask me if I wanted the usual. I was sad to know that the owner injured his hand after years of chopping and cooking, and he was going to take a well deserved break. Very happy to know that they reopened! I have moved out from Vancouver but will definitely go back if I visit Vancouver again.“

“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 😱😱😱“

“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!!“

“Yessir. Food is great quality and delicious af“

“This is by far my favourite spot for noodles in Vancouver, both locations are amazing hidden gems. The quality is incredible, the portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. I especially recommend the French beans and the in-house made cut noodle wok! The staff are so lovely especially the owner Lee! The construction on Broadway has been an absolute nightmare for the business and I know they are struggling to keep the doors open. I will be going there regularly to support them and for the lovely food. There is plenty of parking behind broadway, off of 8th.“

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

“Wonderful food, calm atmosphere, and delightful people. I highly recommend anyone looking for a tasty bite to come here! The owner is lovely and I really enjoyed dining here with my family. It’s not too loud, and everyone makes you feel like you’re at home. This is a must-see for anyone searching for some good Chinese food.“

“🎂👌各方面都不錯👌😌“

“Decent service. I ordered the dan dan noodles and salt and pepper chicken. The chicken was really good - juicy on the inside and not dry at all. The dan dan noodles came in a big portion, but I had to add some chili oil to make it spicier. The restaurant was a bit dark inside.“

“One of the most underrated Hong Kong spots in town. They serve genuinely authentic dishes — flavorful stir-fries and comforting congee — that are simply delicious. The warm welcome from the staff (and the owner) makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended! You definitely don’t want to miss the wonton and congee :)“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Not a good experience! We ordered 2 main courses 1 duck 1 chicken The duck dish was half cooked, the toppings around were not tasty at all. The chicken dish came uncooked! We returned the dishes to the waitress immediately, we were shocked that this is the food served. When the bill arrived, The restaurant asked to charge us for both dishes full price, We refused! After a short conversation they said they would give us a 10 percent discount, We also refused! We returned an entire dish to the kitchen and the second dish we barely touched ... in the end we only paid for the drink and the duck dish. Food - very bad, Service - needs improvement, disappointing. 1108 W Pender St, Vancouver, BC“

“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!“

“Cantonese Style Grouper Set Dinner was generously portioned and delicious 😋 a solid option for authentic cuisine family style at reasonable price a strong contender in Kerrisdale. Their prices are fair, especially considering the quality and serving sizes

I must note when ordering take out for congee and noodles this location always well-packaged. Staff was polite and efficient always. Food not greasy and has been fresh everytime with some live seafood seasonal options in a small tank.

Dim sum not fancy just well-balanced and light. Establishment is always bright and clean, a pleasant sit-in with good floorplan, welcoming to bring in your whole family and very accessible even when busy. Many options to satisfy cravings.

Parking is limited in the area, there is a mix of paid street parking and parkade off Yew Street if lucky you get a spot for 2 hours free.“

“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.“

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