Dim Sum Restaurants in Vancouver, BC

“Incredible! Stopped here on a whim when visiting the area shortly before they closed for the night. I ordered the Ma Po Tofu with veggies and it was absolutely incredible. I would say this restaurant is easily a “hole in the wall” blink and miss it type of place but DO NOT MISS it! Easily in my top 3 noodle spots in the PNW. They make their noodles in house which I watched while waiting for my order, it doesn’t get better than that!! They packed the bowl full, excellent amount of food for the cost. I loved it and can’t wait to go back.“

“it was good! i enjoyed it! especially because i was able to eat dim sum at 5 which is rare lol, i am not a morning person so i rarely get to have dim sum. i just feel like i could get food that is just as good if not better in richmond for a much better price. still enjoyed the food though and will come back if i have a craving for dim sum later in the day :)“

“Literally THE best family business and amazing food. Everything is made on-site. The packaged dim sum may be frozen, but don’t let that fool you one bit- it packs a hefty punch of flavour! My favourites are the ha gow, pork and shrimp siu mai, beef meatball, shrimp wonton, pork beancurd, vegan mushroom dumpling, turnip cake, pork and chive dumpling, lotus leaf wrap, blackbean sparerib, chicken feet, mung bean sticky rice, BBQ pork bun(best in the city), salted custard bun, red bean bun. My grandma’s favourite is the peanut sticky rice wrap. She said they taste just like the ones her mother taught her to make, so you know they’re super authentic!!! Shop local, support legacy businesses, and save Chinatown!“

“Hong Kong style dim sum. The quality is excellent. The wrapped sticky rice is delicious 😋 港式點心，真材實料。個懷舊糯米雞好正😋“

“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.“

“Yessir. Food is great quality and delicious af“

“Amazing food 😋 and amazing staffs😊“

“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).“

“食物好吃 服務也好 環境亦好“

“the food was amazing 👏 we will definitely be bak!“

“I’m reviewing this place as a native shanghainese.
This place specializes in Shanghai style pan fried buns. If you are curious about how it would taste in Shanghai then order it. The taste is authentic. 4 star for the buns. Beware that the filling is suppose to be on the sweeter side.

Other dishes gets 3 stars. Are they absolutely amazing? No. But, they remind me of home, and my childhood.“

“This is hands down the best Dim Sum I have eaten. My party of three ate like absolute KINGS with leftovers to take home for under $50 CAD. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service, friendly. I will be adding this to my regular Vancouver rotation!“

“The pork buns were so so incredibly delicious, the Dan Dan noodles were ok tho. They were so nice and it took less than 5 minutes to get our food even tho it was busy in there. It’s a 30 minute drive for me to get there and it’s 100% worth it and lots of free parking too! Also it’s a great price for the food! Will be going back!😊😊😊“

“Food is good and fresh.
But be careful with the gift card promo. If they know you’re using a gift card, they’ll say they don’t have smaller sizes (like crab, king crab, or certain fish), and then push you to order bigger, more expensive ones.
You end up spending more than you planned and getting way too much food that you can’t even finish. Kind of feels misleading.“

“Good was delicious, very good service staff! Reasonable price too!“

“I love this place. Service is the best“

“Has been in Chinatown forever but they relocated to this location a number of years ago from slightly further east on the same block. Pricing can be considered high. Historically, their Apple tarts are exceptional in taste!

According to the internet: (March 11, 2026)
Vancouver's Chinatown, one of North America's largest and oldest, is a vibrant mix of historic, cultural, and modern culinary spots. Key highlights include the serene Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the Chinatown Storytelling Centre, and iconic eats like New Town Bakery and Phnom Penh.“

“Fortune City Seafood Restaurant serves a variety of Chinese dishes on their menu. It's located at First Avenue Marketplace, there's free parking on the top and bottom floors. This restaurant has been a staple of the neighbourhood for many years. If you're in the area and want dim sum or a Cantonese style dinner you can give them a try.“

“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!!“

“Good service and delicious foods“

“湯好正冇味精真材實料好方便👍😋 點心及其他菜式都好好味 送上門的服務非常好又客氣👏😋😍. Leftover Freeze pack of healthy soup, adding some water and boiling, so good 👍😋🙏“

“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.“

“Dined last weekend. The place was packed due to Chinese New Year. We had a reservation but it still took close to 30 mins to get a table. But the service was very good and we didn't have to wait too long for the food. The food itself was good, not great. Nothing really stood out. We had the peking duck - 2 ways. The skin of the duck wasn't very crispy. The second way was a lettuce wrap. Not too much duck meat, but fairly standard. We also had a scallop and egg tofu hot pot, which seem a bit small for the price. The food was decent, maybe a little on the pricey side. The service was the real standout. Much better than our experience at another restaurant a week prior.“

“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.“

“Good food! Yummy!“

“One of the best for dim sum“

“A pretty decent dim sum spot — not too fancy, but hits the spot! 🥢 The place isn’t big, yet the dim sum quality is quite good. Steamed dishes come out hot and fresh, with nice big portions, and the fried items are crispy and flavorful. The rice noodle rolls are super smooth and tasty — definitely my favorite! 😋

Only downside — the tea could be better. It’s a bit weak and lacks that classic aroma. Hope they can level up the “Drink Tea” to match the rest of the food. 💪✨“

“This place serves very good Cantonese Chinese food, the prime are healthy, quality ingredients and the serving staff is exceptional. Pricing is very fair for the quality of food. Every time we come visit Vancouver, we come here to have a great dining experience.“

“Been here many times and the kitchen has been consistent with the food. Price is fair for what you get and for the quality. Place has been around for quite some time and the interior shows. Place is clean but could have a refresh on furniture.“

“So when you go in there, they give you a piece of paper and you build your soup. I picked the fish soup base with the seafood combo. I had a iced tea milk tea Fish puffs I was very full. I had it with rice noodles. I would like it a little bit saltier so I’d recommend asking for some salt. I will be back to try some other ones. I was very happy that my total meal just cost $24 before taxes and a tip. The guy was very helpful helping me pick the soup out.“

“...WORTH DRIVING IN FROM RICHMOND--have been meaning to try GS as have been referred to similar great food venues along Victoria Dr. Was glad to have stopped in while trying to run couple errands on a rainy weekday...2 of us shared congee (nice touch w/ dainty dish of condiments!), stuffed eggplant (ginormous!), shrimp crepe, har gow & (finally) some deep fried stuffed taro root dumplings...won't go so far as to give away what wkday to enjoy great staffing service, but please keep up the great atmosphere/dining value--bravo!“

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

“Came here for my aunt’s birthday. She is a regular and orders a lot from them. The manager put on a birthday song for my aunt and gave us some mango pudding with a candle. It was so kind!!! We had amazing food and everything was so good! Especially the spicy fried squid! Thank you for an amazing time!“

“Amazing Alaska King Crab three‑way — sweet steamed legs, flavorful garlic‑fried pieces, and rich fried rice cooked with crab juices. The suckling pig was perfectly crispy, the live cod was fresh, and the beef ribs with mushrooms were melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender.“

“Your neighborhood old school Chinese dimsum restaurant. Everytime I visit Vancouver, this is a must-go place for me. Go early or there will be a pretty long line.“

“It not my first time there. The food at this place has always been good , very authentic and a truthful representative of Chinese cuisine at its best . The dishes are generous in quantities . This time it wasn’t any different. I did choose three dishes from the dim sum menu at I was not disappointed. The food came in less than 10 minutes and was very fresh and testy. The food came along with a pot of fresh and testy tea. The service was friendly. I cannot say too much about the atmosphere this time because the place was empty, but I usually go there at night time and it’s quite full with dinners. Highly recommended.“

“Very delicious food with big portion!“

“My first time here for dinner, and it did not disappoint. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. Service here was top notch. Very polite, and professional. They weren't busy, but all the servers tended to us. We were never rushed , unlike a lot of other Chinese restaurants that want you put quickly.

We had the set menu that was $69/ person. The food was plenty, and very fresh. I thought was a tad on the bland side, but all the other guests said it was seasoned well.

Great place!“

“If you want a nice place meeting with families and friends, this is a good choice.
A good restaurant treats your friends from overseas. The city view is very nice on brighter days.
The dim sum is okay just like many other restaurants.
I can find some other restaurants offer the better food but cheaper.
They offer 2 hours free parking for the lunch.“

“Decent morning dim sum and clay pot rice deal. Pay your bill before 1130 for 20% off and free tea, after it is only 12% off.

Ha Gao, Sticky Rice and Clay Pot rice were the stand out dishes.

Service is ok but the renovations are nicely done. The restaurant isn’t the biggest and they do cram a lot of tables in so it can be a bit tight. Prices are not on the cheaper side. Will return nonetheless.“

“Delicious!! The best Chinese food I have found in years! Loved it!“

“Really great Cantonese/Dim Sum restaurant, we met a local here for brunch and were treated to some of the best dim sum we’ve had outside of Asia. The food was exquisitely prepared and the service top notch. The place was full the entire time we were there and the ambiance is traditional, but not overly, Chinese. We ordered a wide assortment of dim sum favorites and some vegetable, noodles and fried rice. Some of the standouts - BBQ pork bun with crispy layer, crispy tofu with fried beef, deep fried dumpling with taro. Will return when in town.“

“Restaurant is quite busy and packed on the Tuesday evening we went. It must be one of the popular Chinese places in East Van. I think the price is very good for what you get. All of the dishes taste the authentic Cantonese way. I love the fried rice and the dessert which is complementary. They do accept credit cards (MC, Visa), and does not charge customers any card processing fees.“

“名人食館Becky 待應對顧客服务態度非常好，令人有賓至如歸的感覺，是一間颇为不错值得一試的食肆。“
