Was downtown for an event and wanted to try this restaurant out.Started with an appetizer of Jellyfish in sesame sauce. Amazing ? and was quite a large dish.Then ordered the Seafood Chow mein. The noodles were nice and crispy but the seafood was lacking. Disappointed as this dish was over priced for what you got.The main dish was the Lobster special with eggplant and rice cake in premium soy sauce. Yum! ? This was the highlight of the dinner. Awesome ?.I must also mention that the service was 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Very attentive and was extremely satisfied.

The taste is comparable to the one you get in Chinatown in Japan.I ate it for lunch, but it was a large amount.

We went for dim sum at work. The food was okay, I’ve had better dim sum, and at better prices in Burnaby/Coquitlam.The decoration of the main lobby is pretty modern, and have an overall nice atmosphere.Nothing about the food stood out to me too much, apart from the custard buns, and the scallop har gar. The spring rolls were nice too. Overall, I wouldn’t go here again as I like other places better, but in terms of downtown area, it is the best you’ll get for dim sum.

Went to Kirin for team lunch. The waiter was so rude and shouted at us because we didn't leave some empty space for him service the dishes. We have some vegetarians in the group and the waiter was very impatient explaining the menu. I feel embarrassed since the non-Chinese in the team obviously feel offended. My intention was to introduce great Chinese food to them. Please train your employees to be at least respectful to your customers

Almost the classical experience I’ve had for dim sum in the past, and very much the environment for it! All of the varieties we tried were delicious, the staff were very courteous and swift, and the pricing is fantastic. My friends and I actually over ate just from trying out as much as we could! Definitely worth dropping in if you’re a fan of dim sum or have never tried it!

The service and food aren't the same anymore. Our server was in a rush to take our order and ended up giving us the wrong dish. Never came by to refill our tea or checkup on us. The quality of the food is flavorless, and the portions are getting smaller. The fried rice was all sticky and made with broken rice. Very expensive restaurant for the poor quality and type of service we received. It's very disappointing, so I won't be going back.

My partner and I recently dined at Kirin Mandarin Restaurant, and while we enjoyed our experience, we couldn't overlook the steep prices. We ordered the chicken chow mein, spring rolls, and a beef/ginger dish. The food was decent, with flavors that pleased our taste buds. However, we were taken aback by the total bill of $81.90 before tip for just three dishes.While we appreciate the quality of the dishes, we feel that the pricing is on the higher side, making it less accessible for those on a budget. The ambiance and service were good, but the value for money left something to be desired. It's essential for restaurants to strike a balance between quality and affordability.
