excellent food and service
Came for lobster sticky rice. No lobster so had crab sticky rice and green bean . Could do with less corn starch sauce so can crack crab easily
A family favourite. We go for the lobster served on sticky rice! Well prepared Cantonese comfort food. Best to make reservations.

Ho Yuen Kee Restaurant is a popular spot in Vancouver known for their delicious lobster sticky rice. This long-standing Chinese restaurant offers excellent food at reasonable prices, making it a delightful place for family dining. The ordering process might be confusing at first, but the staff is generally helpful. Each portion of lobster sticky rice can feed around 3-4 people, paired with a flavorful cold-water lobster. The fragrant rice, sometimes including corn for added sweetness, and the saucy coating create an unforgettable dish. Although it can be a splurge at around $127, it is considered one of their most popular dishes, and many customers have noted that the flavors are rich and authentic to Cantonese/Southern-style cooking.
In addition to the standout lobster sticky rice, the menu features other highly praised items, such as the exceptional sweet and sour pork, stir-fried beef ribs with bitter melon, and wonton noodle soup. The large wontons are filled with fresh shrimp and served with perfectly cooked noodles. While some diners have mentioned that the atmosphere can be noisy and crowded, and that service could be improved, the generous portion sizes leave many feeling satisfied and full. Reservations are recommended during peak hours. Overall, Ho Yuen Kee is a must-visit for its fantastic lobster sticky rice and enjoyable dining experience.
