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.“

“I ordered the takeout combo for two people from Fantuan. The food was tasty, and the portion was generous and more than enough for two.

The pickup process was smooth and convenient, with no issues.

Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place.“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“Came for the Tuesday night Peking Duck special. All the food was excellent, as usual. Service was prompt, and pacing was great. Quality of ingredients was top notch in all the dishes.

If you park in the orange area of the parking garage and give them your license plate and stall number when you check in, you get free parking too!“

“I went there today for the first time and it really hit the spot. Probably the best one I had in a long time. The reviews are real!lol

The dumplings and noodle, both are so so good!! It was a rainy day and it looked a bit slow but I am for sure going there again when I come back in Vancouver later this year.

I could’ve eaten the whole another plate of the dumplings for sure if I had more time.

Loved the restaurant.“

“Got recommended to come here by a friend.

I got a variety of items to share with my family such as the spinach noodles, green beans, pan fried dumplings, and wonton soup and all of them tasted fantastic! The chili oil is really good as well, perfect kick and flavor. Not to mention they all came pretty quickly.

The service was amazing, everyone was super nice and were fun to be around! It's small and cozy and I would 100% recommend.“

“This place is retaining the authentic HK chefs. I can taste it in most dishes. Try the lemon pork BBQ puff pastry. Or original chicken fingers with bone not the other kind. Please ask about free parking and try not ask for special requests dishes unless you are willing to pay Do stop by even though the yam was sweet to my taste.“

“Lovely homemade - wrappers seemed like they were made from whole wheat, so a great healthy option!
We got the pork with green peppers and the pork with kimchi (spicy). Both were pretty amazing. They also had lots of vegan options. 7.99$ for 6 so great deal
This place is inside Robson public market. There’s no branding on the street, but do not miss it! The building management is trying to close these places down, so they need your support! Also, this place has so many awards! Really amazing. Will be back!“

“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.“

“Such a unique dining experience! The restaurant has its own charm and character, making the whole visit feel special. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. On top of that, the service was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. You can really tell the team cares about every detail. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back!“

“The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. The portions were generous and there were lots of fresh toppings. Everything came out hot and tasted really comforting. Definitely a great spot for a warm and satisfying meal. Would come back again!“

“The food is great and it's always consistent and can't complain about anything that I've tried.
They always accommodate me when I come right before closing because I live so close and I feel bad. But they take good care of me and I make sure to take care of them.“

“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.“

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

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“Take out 👍 Food is delicious 😊“

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

“食物好吃 服務也好 環境亦好“

“I would say this is the best meal in Chinatown of Vancouver by far. Must try BBQ Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken and Crispy Pork. They made those food I would say like spot on. And Bobby was super nice free us the soup and Hong Kong style curry fishballs. Thank you so much for the generous. 100% come back next time.“

“The Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs and Sweet and Sour Pork were both outstanding! They stayed true to the classic Cantonese flavors while adding some creative touches in both presentation and taste, making them really memorable and worth trying.

Unlike many Cantonese restaurants that serve great food with little attention to presentation, every dish here was beautifully plated and looked just as impressive as it tasted. It’s clear the chefs put thought into both the flavor and the overall dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“Food is not bad. Had Peking duck and some other dishes. Food is flavorful but some may find it salty. I feel like they use too much MSG..

The Peking duck is not too bad, but I definitely had better locally. The skin is crispy but the meat wasn't very tender.

Prices, though, are a bit too high for what you get.“

“Newtown reminds me of the old day's in Chinatown.
Great food.excellent service.lots of bakery items.great menu.
The big one is they do not except CREDIT CARDS.
There also open at 6:30 am for the early birds like us..very busy at lunch time.
They offer every thing you would want at a bakery with lots of seating..
Keep it up.. 💯
The CONGEE is excellent too.😁“

“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!“

“If you ever miss the Vancouver chinese food of the 80s and 90s look no further...this place is AWESOME. I had been meaning to go for years and stopped in for the lunch special. It must have weighed 3 pounds and everything made FRESH to go for 14 bucks. Classic sweet and sour pork with pineapple crunchy and crispy and the sauce was perfect. Ive been looking for a great chinese place like this wondering where they all had gone. Dont sleep on this one....you wont be disappointed.“

“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 😉“

“Really enjoyed our experience at Sushi Jin 10/10. The fish was so fresh and everything we had was delicious! The food came out at the perfect time too, we never felt like we were waiting around. The chef was incredible and our waitress was so lovely and attentive. Just a really great experience all around, we’ll definitely be back. For all locals and visitors of Vancouver must try!“

“Definitely a hole-in-the-wall gem. You’d never know from the outside that this place has some incredible house made noodles. I’ve been twice now and both times I’ve been really impressed. Would highly recommend their chilli oil sauce noodles. I got them with the cutting noodles. Simple but incredible flavour and perfect chewy texture.“

“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“

“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 😱😱😱“

“First night in Vancouver and this was our first dinner — cannot be happier! We ordered these two dishes, baked rice and fried prawns and it was so flavorful which got me wanting to order more. They were very big portions so we didn’t get to and I wish we were staying in Vancouver longer cause I’d definitely come back. My family is from Hong Kong so I know what’s considered good HK food. The restaurant was empty but don’t let that fool you into thinking the food is not good. The chef, who is the owner, shared that the neighborhood in general has been pretty dead the past year hence the emptiness on a given night but I can say the food is amazing and the service is just as great. The waiter was attentive and so was the chef. He offered other options of making the prawns for us which was nice. He also engaged with us and was super friendly. All in all, great experience, great food and will definitely be coming back here when I visit again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food tastes pretty good,
We had hot and sour soup, deep fried wonton steamed rice and chicken with garlic and chilli, this dish had onions, chalets, red peppers and I think a little mushroom.
Over all was good and not to expensive.
My only issue.
The floors in the dining area and bathroom were not so clean.
Dirt collecting in corners , we're floor tiles meet wall tiles, like its never been mopped or cleaned propperly.

Hope they can take care of that cleaning.

It would've been a better experience.“

“🎂👌各方面都不錯👌😌“

“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 :)“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“41 Noodle & Rice Pot House is a reliable go-to for simple, comforting meals when you don’t want to overthink your options. The takeout experience is smooth and efficient—orders are prepared quickly, and the packaging holds up well, keeping the food warm and intact by the time you get home.

Portions are fair for the price, making it a practical choice for a casual lunch or dinner. The flavors are solid and consistent, especially if you’re craving classic noodle or rice dishes without anything overly heavy or greasy. It feels like a place you can depend on for a straightforward, satisfying meal.

While it works well as a takeout spot, the quality suggests it would be worth trying dine-in next time to enjoy the dishes fresh off the stove. Overall, it’s a dependable neighborhood option that balances convenience and taste nicely.“

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

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

“The atmosphere is more like a restaurant out of the 90s. The servers were nice and knowledgeable about food allergies. They put us in a corner, hard to get their attention. The food was hot and tasty but came out I pieces. Lots of GF options.“
