Shanghainese Restaurants near Vancouver, BC

“Unfortunately even the piping hot food didn’t stop us from eating everything so fast that there was not enough time to take any photos.

Thank you for working a stay holiday and making fresh and delicious food! Very friendly service.“

“The food was amazing and according to my mother who is Shanghainese, very authentic. The server was helpful pointing out one dish was quite spicy and checked if we wanted chilies to be reduced. We asked how they got some hard to find foods like kofu and it turns out the chef made these himself. Parking is a bit challenging with construction outside and restaurant was very empty which was a shame because the food is well worth the effort. Will definitely be back regularly.“

“The staff work efficiently. Tables are cleared and wiped down quickly. During peak hours when the restaurant is packed, responses can be a little slow, yet staff are polite overall. Dishes come out at a steady pace. Don’t expect fancy fine‑dining service; it is practical and down‑to‑earth for a family‑style eatery.

We came for their famous soup dumplings. They are juicy and flavourful, perfect with vinegar dip. Pork chop with rice cake is another highlight — crispy fried pork paired with soft chewy rice cake, authentic Shanghainese taste. The menu offers a wide selection of traditional local dishes.“

“Very authentic Shanghainese cuisine. Generous portions as well. Definitely one of our go to's.

If you are eating dinner there, I would strongly recommend eating the first round, so 5 or 5:30pm, because parking is very limited. There's also paid street parking on Alexandra Road.

Also make sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekends, to make sure you get a table!

One interesting photo to share .. the large wonton chicken soup is a sight to behold! The photo doesn't show how massive it is. It can easily feed ~12+ people with seconds to spare!“

“This place has, by far, the best pork chop/noodle soup, in the entire city. And in a place like Richmond, that is no small feat.

The service is consistently friendly, and the quality remains at top tier, even with the reasonable prices.

Give it a go! Your taste buds will thank you.“

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

“I enjoyed an excellent meal here at Colour See See. The dishes here included a combo with xiao long bao and a wonton soup. The xiao long bao was pork and very excellent. The wonton soup was not my cup of tea but will be if you enjoy that dish. Lastly, my friend and I shared an order of pork filled dumplings. I’ve been told that you can tell if it’s fresh based on how hot it is and how the juice was. As I burned the top of my lips, I can attest that it was very fresh haha. Definitely worth checking out this place.“

“My usual go to place a couple stalls down, Shanghai dim sum house, is closed on Wednesday, but this place is another great place open with same price and still excellent quality. Crispy exterior and full of soup, the pan fried pork buns are excellent. It does have a slightly different flavour than the other restaurant, which is neither good nor bad; I like both! Next time I will try to XLB as I only had appetite for one dish as a snack on the go today.“

“Best Shanghainese food at affordable prices“

“Great food, reasonably price with excellent service and friendly people!“

“The soup dumplings at Stall #13 are a must-try. They were even bigger than the ones I’ve had at restaurants and were packed with delicious, flavorful broth. They were absolutely delicious!

I visited around lunchtime on a Sunday, so it was very busy. Finding a table was quite difficult, but the food was definitely worth the wait.“
