    There's usually a line up for roast duck, roast pork, bbq and steamed chicken here. The bbq pork was not as tender but flavourful and on the sweeter side. The roast pork was delightfully tender and not too fatty. Overall for about 1/2 lb of cha siu and 1/2 lb of roast pork it came up to $20. Service is prompt and cheerful, while the restaurant is large enough for big groups. Lots of parking outside as well.

    The bbq meats on rice was only ok. We ordered bbq duck and bbq pork. The rice was kind of hard and not piping hot. I've had better meats at other establishments. The highlight was the soup. It was very yummy and complimentary. For the price it wasn't a stinking deal. $16.50 for 2 meats on rice.

    Cantonese BBQ Seafood restaurant have two branches located at the Richmond and Vancouver. These two locations give us a convenient choice whether go to Vancouver's one to pick up the BBQ product on the way after work. They are always lining up outside the restaurant during the time people are off work . Their kitchen is always busy to prepare more BBQ food in order to satisfy the demand of customers. l believe this community is not the type of din out type of fans and prefer staying home to cook. Therefore, we are always lucky to get the BBQ order in fresh and hot condition. If we decide to go out for dinner during the weekend , we will choose the Richmond branch. The reason why is the dining area of Vancouver branch is relatively small and even we are able to find a free parking, you may not have the table available for us The owner must have done some research ahead of time before they decide to set up the new restaurant into this plaza. The large volume of customers in this neighbourhood business includes the supermarket, Asian grocery stores ,the drug store are some of the main streamline to support the business in this area. We go Richmond branch because they have a larger dining area and easy to find a parking spot. There's a Chinese supermarket right beside the restaurant, we can pick up some groceries before we head home. Our order are usually consisting of pork, beef and chicken eg sweet and sour pork,stir fried chicken with sliced ginger ,stir fried beef with Taiwan cauliflower , Free Ranged Chicken in Salted Ginger and soup of the day

    I was in the area and decided to pick up some chashu for lunch. We got a little bit more than half a pound of chashu. They charge $12.95 per lb. This is pretty much the standard price everywhere. This place is also a restaurant and they do offer other dishes other than Chinese bbq. You can get one or two items with rice but I found that it is a better deal to just get the bbq to go. Anyways when I showed up during lunch time, it was not very busy. Free parking can be found at the plaza. They do cut the bbq chashu quite thick. The flavour was not bad but the meat was a bit tough. I prefer much softer and tender meat. Not sure if they gave us an end pieces but we have noticed a lot of burnt parts and also the end pieces tend to be somewhat dry. Note that they take cash and debit only.

    Had a great lunch here! Love the Cantonese bbq - the duck is my favorite. I really enjoy the noodles too!

    Solid HK style BBQ place in the Collingwood area. Parking is available in the nice large strip mall lot. This place does get full though. The place looks like something straight out of the 1980s. Old school charm. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. I had the BBQ pork and roast pork on rice. Meat as fresh and juicy. Roast pork was nice and crispy. I was happy. My friend had the soy chicken on rice. I tried a piece. Juice and moist. They got it right. The place also gave us a nice big bowl of pork and vegetable soup on the house. Delicious home cooked style. Special mention. Prices were reasonable. I will be back at some point. Recommended.

    Not much service. Food arrived cold/lukewarm. The meats are of quality that could be much better if served hot. Too busy on a Saturday noon for 2 waitresses and one cashier to handle. Overall, this is ok. Not a recommendation.

    I am really happy this restaurant opened up here. It took over what used to be Peaceful Restaurant. Being in the London Drugs shopping plaza, it meant there is a parking lot plus street parking around the area. Definitely way more convenient than the other restaurants along Kingsway without a parking lot. If you have been missing Cantonese/HK style roast meat, look no further. The roast meat or those I tried (char siu, sio bak, and soya chicken) was really good. The sio bak (roasted pork belly) had a crispy skin which was so good. The meat was also tender, and not dried up at all. The char siu was charred nicely and not too hard. The soya chicken was moist and the skin was silky smooth. I love that they also serve us a big bowl of complimentary soup. It was a basic soup of radish and carrot. So homely. We came just before the dinner rush. It got real packed after 530 pm or so. You could also do take out for the meat or meat on rice. That was a popular option for customers who came in before 530 pm. An easy dinner for the family. Besides the roast meat, they also have Peking duck, lobster and other seafood dishes where you can do a a combination set meal. There are also the usual suspects of fried rice, chow mein and dishes. Definitely will return in future when I want Cantonese food.

    Brand new restaurant only open since Sept 2022, they are serving authentic Hong Kong style BBQ. When you are outside watching all the ducks, and roasted pork displayed by the windows then walking in to hear the staff chatting with the customers in Cantonese, you would suddenly feel like you've been transported to Asia. I can't say enough good things about the lobster sticky rice, it is a must try item

    Lobster rice.

    Recommend by a friend so we tried it out. Surprised at how good their Hong Kong style BBQ is. Also nice to have something like this in this area. First dish was bbq duck on rice. Pretty tasty. Second dish was Lobster steam basket with sticky rice. Rice portion was good, rice was about average and value was below average. We wanted to order some nicer dishes as it was a belated Mother's Day dinner. Ling cod was on special, done two ways and was the best dish of the night. Very fresh and tasted good! Soup and dessert was complimentary so was nice. Overall a thumbs up!

    A Gastronomic Awakening in Chinatown! You don't truly know…read moreuntil you go--and now that I've been, I'm haunted. As I write this, I am literally still dreaming of the Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork. It didn't just "eat" well; it dissolved into a decadent, sweet, fatty puddle of pure bliss. Walking in, the vibe is quintessential Chinatown: a bustling counter, a glass case showcasing glistening roasted treasures, and a seating area that trades fancy decor for pure, functional authenticity. We were clearly out of our element, probably looking like deer in headlights, but the staff met our confusion with warm smiles. Then came Bobby--the absolute heart and soul of this place. We walked in expecting the standard American-Chinese routine, but Bobby whisked us away to a cozy table and treated us like family. He started us off with a fragrant jasmine tea so naturally sweet and floral it didn't need a grain of sugar--perfect for a biting winter night. While we flirted with the Happy Hour menu, Bobby took the reins. You don't say no to a man with that much charisma and passion! On his expert recommendation, we pivoted to the Two-Meat Combo (BBQ Pork + Soy Chicken) with a side of their famous Roast Duck. The food arrived in a lightning-fast 10 minutes, but the real treat was Bobby's play-by-play on how each dish was prepared. You can taste the pride in every bite. The balance was masterclass: a symphony of sweet, salty, and umami. The meats were succulent, the skins were shattery-crisp, and the glazes were perfectly sticky. The undisputed heavyweight champion, however, was that Hong Kong BBQ Pork. Imagine the best "burnt ends" of your life, drenched in a caramelized, mouth-watering sauce that demands your full attention. We left Chinatown BBQ feeling more than just sated--we felt enlightened. If you're looking for a "one in a million" meal, let Bobby order for you. You won't regret it.

    Unbelievable. Came here on a whim. Not a huge menu, but…read morestraight to the point. The noodle soup was bland and boring. Should've stuck with rice. The char siu and soy sauce chicken were both cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The green scallion sauce was not necessary but it was still delicious ! Would've been great over rice. The extra fatty char siu the server gave me to try was over the top! Perhaps the best char siu I've had to date. My server, Bobby? Did a fantastic job and was very informative and I can tell he really likes what he does thru his enthusiasm

    Seemed like a must try Chinatown classic when I was researching Vancouver spots. I thought it was…read morecool that they have typical bakery items but also dim sum that I'd be down to come back and try Apple tart: 3/5 the apple filling was just ok and the outside was a little hard from being left outside Pork asado siopao: 4/5 this was super good and warm but I would've preferred if there was a little more meat inside. Super yummy though so would def recommend trying

    New Town Bakery is one of those Chinatown staples that feels like a rite of passage in Vancouver…read more We headed there for breakfast, excited for pastries and a classic bakery experience, and decided to dine in. Once we sat down and were handed the full menu, though, I had a brief moment of panic. The menu is huuuge and varied, plus none of the items I had mentally planned on ordering were on there. We pivoted and ordered pork siu mai, congee, look fun noodles, and a few steamed buns (they're especially known for those). The congee, noodles, and siu mai were all fine--very standard, not particularly memorable. In fairness, they weren't what I came for in the first place, so that probably shaped my expectations. The real standouts were the pork asado siopao and the chicken deluxe (bola bola). Both have Filipino roots, and the siopao especially brought a comforting sense of familiarity--soft, fluffy, and filled with that sweet-savory pork that felt like home. Those alone made the visit worthwhile. They actually have quite a few other Filipino influenced items like hopia and puto which was surprising. Ironically, it was only after we left that I noticed the sign on the window highlighting their most popular items--exactly what first-timers should probably stick to. I had ordered a few pastries to go with the intention of trying them later... and then completely forgot about them, which I'm still a little sad about. Overall, it was a good visit with a clear lesson learned: go in with a game plan and order the hits. It's a beloved Vancouver institution for a reason, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by--just know it's cash only and do a little pre-order research so you can make the most of it. I'd give it more like a 3.5 vs a 4 star, but I'm already planning a redo focused purely on the classics.

    So mum wanted to show her appreciation for being her chauffeur taking her around to the doctors…read more She took me out for dimsum and with it being in Richmond there is a plethora of choices. She wanted to go to Kirin. Plenty of parking in the mall. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly. Restaurant was busy but not crazy. This was at 10am on a Thursday. Waiters were attentive. Usual table service was in place. Took our order and food came out at acceptable pace. When we were done, they politely boxed up the leftovers and we paid our bill. So service was on point. The food we ordered came out hot. The staples that I order to test was hargow, suimai and pai gwut(spareribs). All 3 dishes in general were good.....the hargow could have used an extra minute or 2 in the steamer. The suimai was very good. I tasted every ingredient in this dish. Usually it is just a complete mix and you can't discern the different flavors. They tried something different with the cheongfun by adding pieces of Chinese donut to the roll. I personally think it didn't add much to the dish, taste or texture wise. I did like the pea shoots with shrimp. I think it is a good combo. All in all a good dimsum. I also noticed they did not charge us a tea service. The cost of the food is comparable with other restaurants at this level. Yes come on a date or impress business clients/boss or family celebrations.

    I have many Chinese friends in Vancouver, and my last visit to Kirin Richmond was in July 2024…read more This time, it was my birthday, and my friends insisted on treating me to Kirin Richmond once again. On a typical Sunday evening, the restaurant is usually fully occupied, but my friend had thoughtfully made a reservation a week in advance, so our table for five was ready upon arrival. As always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with good airflow thanks to the wide-open front entrance facing the parkade. The front desk receptionist greeted us cordially, and we were escorted to a cozy table in a comfortable location -- not too close to the washrooms, which I appreciated. Our meal began with the Kirin Special Assorted Cold Appetizer, followed by Crab Meat, Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw Soup. The soup arrived piping hot and was delicious, with a generous portion that could easily have served eight people. We also enjoyed Pea Tips Braised with Bean Curd and Assorted Mushrooms in Consommé, Marinated Free-Range Crispy Skin Chicken, Fillet of Cod Sautéed with Seasonal Vegetables, and Live Crab in Consommé with Ginger and Green Onion, served with E-fu Noodles. Overall, the quality and taste of every entrée were excellent. Service was top-notch -- tea and hot water were refilled constantly, bones and used plates were replaced promptly, and the servers were friendly and engaging throughout the evening. My friend and his family have apparently been regulars at this location for over two decades, which likely contributed to the exceptional attentiveness we received. However, one aspect of the experience genuinely disturbed me. All servers, including the captains, continued to wear masks at all times. While this practice was understandable two years ago, now -- five years after the onset of the pandemic, with COVID-19 managed similarly to other seasonal respiratory illnesses -- the continued universal masking in a fine-dining environment feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall guest experience. Fine dining, in my view as an avid foodie, is built on human connection, hospitality, and personal interaction. Masks create a more impersonal, almost clinical atmosphere. In a well-ventilated space like this, the environmental risk does not seem to justify the visual and social trade-off. Rather than providing reassurance, the persistent masking may unintentionally signal that the environment is unsafe or that management is out of step with current provincial health guidelines, where masking is now a personal choice rather than a mandate. Final verdict: Food & Service: 5/5 Ambience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 -- as the current aesthetic feels more like a relic of 2020 than a leader in 2026 hospitality.
