Food was ok, we've had better dimsum. Would be nice if it was served all at the same time. Quite honestly, a bit expensive for what we got. Service was really bad, had to ask from water to tea to cutleries twice. This place was over rated on google. Sorry NOT coming back.

During a visit to Vancouver, I stayed near Chinatown and had the biggest dim sum craving! There are a lot of different spots to choose from but I specifically wanted to go somewhere that I could get turnip cakes (my favorite). I placed a take-out order at Jade Dynasty and it took about 20 minutes for the order to be ready. We left to walk around and explore the area before coming back for the order. Overall, everything was good. I had sticky rice and shumai as well and it hit the spot.

Really good restaurant, serving both a small sample of dim sum and a larger variety of dishes, using really fresh ingredients for a reasonable price (good value). We were in Vancouver's Chinatown on a Friday afternoon, after coming from the States on a Pacific coast cruise. The restaurant didn't seem too busy looking in from the outside, and we were right...seated immediately in a nice table for two. The table setting was really nice, using a higher end disposable tablecloth. We were offered hot tea immediately, with each table already having the ceramic tea cups for self-serve. The menus are scattered, consisting of 4 pieces, many with the same items mentioned duplicatively. There is a paper menu, that has the dim sum items, but it also includes a bunch of other stuff that the other menus also include. Plus the dim sum items are not that numerous...I think it causes more confusion than anything for English-speakers, especially since Chinese is the preferred language. But the descriptions in English were clear and we ordered what we wanted. Since we didn't know the serving sizes of the items, we ordered 3 dim sum and 1 main entree. When it came, we thought we had over ordered for lunch, but we ended up eating everything...showing how much we liked each and every item. Har Gow ($8.98 CAD) - 4 medium pieces of shrimp, wrapped in the wheat wrapper, steamed. The shrimp used in this restaurant is really good, and it had been seasoned nicely to bring out that sweet and snappy shrimp flavor. We really liked this. Shanghai Pork Dumpling ($8.98) - we ordered 2 of these, each coming with 4 large dumplings. The flavor on it was OK, and they were large. It was difficult to eat them without breaking the skin and letting the soup spill out. I wish it could come with fresh grated ginger...it really does make a difference in the taste of XLB. House Special Sizzling Noodle (Pork, Seafood, Chicken) for $22.98. This dish really impressed us. The seafood in the dish were large shrimp, really good large pieces of squid, decent flavored white fish, AND 3 large sea scallops. The pork was the BBQ kind, which are usually dry and tasting funny...but this one was good, tender. I love baby bokchoy, and there was large pieces in the dish along with big pieces of shitake mushrooms. It was also a very large dish, served on a very hot plate. The sauce was a thick, glutenness white sauce, so wish there was a way to order this in a brown, garlic sauce. The ingredients made this dish a clear winner. There is free wi-fi available which was greatly appreciated. There are prominent signs stating that contactless payment methods are NOT accepted (assuming that this means no Apple/Google Pay...since I don't know of any credit cards that only has contactless and no CHIP). They leave you the receipt at the table, so you can take it up to pay in front. Tax is not included in the price so 8% additional plus a tip. Both of us thought it was a very reasonable price for the menu (especially since it was in CAD so got a 27% percent benefit coming from the US). And we felt good as we continued our sightseeing, as the food wasn't too greasy or heavy.
Food was ok. Place was nice and clean, but feel like the atmosphere sales the place. Servers were horrible. Drop our food off, didn’t ask if we needed anything else, asked for fork and soy sauce, the lady seemed irritated , so I was afraid to ask for anything else lol. They never checked on us once. Wouldn’t go back again! But glad I went so i know
The dim sum tastes pretty good, except for the fishy smell of the ribs, and the price is not low. Will repurchase

Great dim sum place open late. Stir fry veggies and sesame balls were best I've ever had. The egg custard sesame ball was also amazing. Service was a bit slow but it was very late so that's to be expected as they were cleaning and closing

Went here by myself for lunch - I like that it's one of the few dim sum places in Vancouver that offers all day dim sum! I got 4 items and it came to 38 before tax - definitely pricey for my liking! Good portions and delicious food. However, their chili oil was a bit salty so it threw off the flavour for me. My recommendation is to get take-out dim sum a few blocks west from here!

Had dinner here on a whim. Everything we had was very tasty but a bit oily, however I’ve experienced that in other Chinese restaurants so it’s not uncommon. Portion size was good and what I expect for the price.
