Shanghainese Restaurants near Vancouver, BC

“We ordered the dan dan noodles (spicy), fried bean-paste noodles, and wontons in chili sauce. I had high expectations for the fried bean-paste noodles and wontons, but surprisingly, the dan dan noodles ended up being our favorite. I’m usually not a big fan of dan dan noodles, but these were very creamy, nutty, and moreish! They weren’t spicy for us, though.
The lady who took our order seemed a bit concerned that two of us were ordering three dishes, but I didn’t find the portion sizes overly large—three dishes were just right without making us feel too full.

Overall, I really enjoyed their food and would love to come back to try other dishes.
One thing to note: they only accept cash, not even debit, so come prepared!“

“Food is gorgeous and delicious. This is city jewel for Shanghainese cuisine. It’s not as expensive as some Shanghai restaurants in town while quality of food is beyond expectation. Authentic Shanghainese cuisine as well as some spicy SiChuan dishes. Highly recommend - food!“

“I found this is the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver 👍👍👍“

“This restaurant specializes in Southeastern Chinese cuisine and offers a descent dining environment. The manager provides excellent service, and the dishes are usually quite good. It’s a popular restaurant, so you may need to queue up for dinner sometimes.“

“I ordered here tonight for first time from Color See See not sure if it cause on receipt it says 4 when it should be 8 since the menu says 4 per order pan fried buns. I ordered double but only got one order. Have no idea how to get refund for the almost 9.00 dollars though. Tried the email on the receipt and it's invalid. I spent over $70 so disappointed I didn't get what I ordered. Food was tasty but I don't recommend take out as the boxes are wax coated trapping the steam in making the some of the food soggy. Despite this I'll probably try them again even though there others near by. Prices are great and food is fresh and flavorful.“

“Best Shanghainese food at affordable prices“

“Okay y’all, life is all about: happiness = reality - expectations. Don’t expect too much in terms of cleanliness and service, that’s not the authentic Chinese experience. Think of it more as a hole-in-the-wall than a fancy restaurant. It’s clean enough and service is good enough.

Most importantly, the food is good enough. It’s actually very flavourful and tasty. It can err on the heavier side and it’s a bit oily for my taste, but I can see others really loving it for the same reason. I would still recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area, and I would probably come back for the wontons and pork chop. They are quite busy and popular, and the people running it are working hard. Just don’t expect too much and you’ll be pleasantly satisfied ☺️“

“Spent a few hours in the Crystal Mall on a Wednesday, and was so disappointed to see that Shanghai Dim Sum was closed for the day, my favorite XLB shop.Oh well, we ate some other delicious things, the standout was the shengjian bao, pan fried pork buns from Shanghai Fortune Cuisine. It was lined up and everyone in the rooms seemed to be eating them.Wow, they were good. Crispy on the bottom, tender on top, full of soup and pork. Delicious. Staff is friendly too!I think I found a new favorite.“

“Vancouver's most delicious vegetable and meat wonton stew is reported almost every day after get off work, and it has become a regular canteen. The fried dough sticks are also very crispy, and the meat fillings in the xiaolongbao and pan-fried buns are really good! (I really don’t like sweet meat fillings, but the seasoning here is really good) btw the aunt at the cashier has a super nice attitude!!“

“The OG XLB place in Crystal Mall. The dumplings are made from scratch, with nicely sized portions for today's prices. Juicy and flavourful with every bite, with the dough not being too tough or chewy.

If I'm here and want a tasty snack, I always walk over to the end of the food court. I never even knew the name; to me, it was just the yellow stand at the end, but I always recommended it to anyone.“
