Little Bird Dim Sum + Craft Beer

Not your typical Dim Sum. And I think for the better! Service was excellent, very attentive wait staff. Food was as on point, even my wife who struggles with most traditional Chinese food dishes really enjoyed the food. I've had lots of dim sum and this is without a doubt some of the very best I've had. I did miss a couple of my favourite dishes such as luobogao (turnip cake) but the taro scallop balls made up for it! Ambiance is obviously not going to be the same as a great big Chinese restaurant but I loved the hole in the wall vibe, simple decor and focus on great food. This place is definitely on my short list of places to go when we're back in Vancouver again in the future.

Always enjoy this place food is very consistent & friendly staff. Love the neighbourhood fee

The taste of dim sum is just right, the seasoning is just right, suitable for the taste and health needs of modern people, the service is also very good, and the dim sum restaurant is very warm, but the appearance of some of the siu mai is a little damaged, which affects some impressions

The dim sum was decent overall, but the first dish (shrimp toast) arrived cold in the middle, which put a damper on the rest of the meal. The atmosphere is trendier, but the food was on par with less expensive, more traditional local offerings. I was expecting more given the Bib Gourmand award.

Casual little restaurant, with AMAZING dim sum! In fact, I'd say it was the best dim sum I've ever had! We shared 6 savoury dishes and 2 sweet ones, all were delicious! I highly recommend Little Bird and definitely plan to go again! 🥟🥢😋

The garlic spare ribs were so small as were the portions. Felt hungry after ordering dim sum, pot stickers, spare ribs and a tart. Not worth it.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and was a nice find. Excellent vegetarian options. We ordered a variety of food and it was all delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. We’ll be back!

Vegetarian options: Nice selection of vegetarian options including dim sum.

Delicious and high quality dim sum for reasonable prices! There’s really nothing not to like here. The soup dumplings were a highlight for me. All the sauces were super great too.

I guess because they had Michelin stars I expected more. I thought the atmosphere was nice and service was great, but I found it too greasy and not enough options like a traditional dim sum place. I think go to a traditional dim sum place if the taste is what going for, but come here if you want a trendy dining experience

Super frustrated that Little Bird’s business listing shows they are open until 2pm but the close their kitchen at 1:30pm. It’s deep fried glorified fast food people. Thanks for impacting my otherwise enjoyable afternoon. UPDATE 10/26/24: it happened again. Showed up 50 minutes before listed closing time of 2:30pm. Please update your listing to be truthful to the time that you would take new customers. Michelin will be getting an update from me too.

Little Bird is a gem! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making our small party feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious and delivered steaming hot. We chose Little Bird to celebrate a birthday and were so happy to mark the occasion there. Don’t miss out on their specialty items, especially the chive and shrimp dumplings and the steamed BBQ pork bun – they’re a must-try! Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience.

The food was good, service was fast but not very personal, kinda limited menu. Not very good for kids.

The receptionist did not know how to deal with on-line reservations and walk-in customers.
One lady alone before us in line got a table as soon as we all walked in the restaurant without reservations. It seemed like we could get a table soon.
The receptionist looked at her computer with one hand holding it, and another hand playing with her hair. We were not informed of how long the wait would be at all.
She said one table of 4 was for a 7:30 and later she said it was for 8:00. She looked so confused.
We ended up waiting for 30 min. and decided to leave.
You should stand someone with more experience in the front. Otherwise, you will waste other people's valuable time.
