Our favourites were the rice rolls (shrimp, beef, and chinese donut), eggplant with shrimp, and chicken feet. We were pleasantly surprised with the egg tarts, which came out fresh, crispy and warm. One gripe I had was with the bean curd roll with mushroom and pork, which we ordered for someone with a seafood allergy. We ordered this twice and the first time there were no issues, but the second one came with shrimp inside. This was most likely an accident as the one we ordered isn't supposed to contain shrimp, but there is another one on the menu that does. The mango pudding also tasted a bit strange and had a weird texture compared to other dimsum places. Overall, we had a good time here, and would come back for their dimsum and rice rolls.

I especially enjoyed talking to Sam, he had a great sense of humour and kept us entertained throughout our meal. We ordered 2 crabs and Sam brought them out before they were cooked and let me hold them. Peking duck is always a good choice and was delicious here. We ordered a few other dishes and the portions are pretty big but the prices are above average.

If you are craving for dim sum but hate the crowd, you must check out 852 Kitchen…read more The tastes were definitely authentic and portion sizes were generous. The black truffle siu mai and shrimp dumplings had plenty of filling and were seasoned wonderfully. The HK style beef balls were bouncy and velvety smooth on the palate and the accompanying water chestnuts and cilantro accenting the meatiness to another level. We also had a great time baking the pineapple buns. From proofing to baking, it was exhilarating to watch the dough rise and their instructions were super easy to follow. Definitely the perfect breakfast item.

Tasty Chinese (mostly Sichuan style) restaurant at the NW corner of Lougheed and Willingdon…read more Parking here is available but pretty horrendous outside of business hours. There are maybe 15 spots total for 4 separate food establishments. In addition, there are no free spots in the vicinity at all. For this reason, I have tried and failed to eat at this place for several years. Finally had a chance to try during lunchtime. The best option is probably to get here by transit. The place is decently sized. Staff are friendly. Can watch them crank away at the dumpling factory. Bit of entertainment when waiting for their food. The lunch special here is great value. Comes with soup too. The sichuan marbled pork & cabbage hit the spot. That tastyy Sichuan chili pepper taste. Beautiful. There is also an option for the thick (blade) noodles with no extra charge, which is a nice perk. The quantity was huge. I left stuffed and happy. I also looked at the neighbouring tables, and their non lunch items were also huge. Special mention. Definitely trying more of their food in their future. Just be mindful of their parking situation.

If you are looking for a great Chinese restaurant around Brentwood area?…read moreI usually order food from this restaurant, but I gave a shot to come today. Yeap... Grand Chinese is a small restaurant, you can see the chef cooking and preparing the food. The decor is cute. They have so many great food on their menu and you see so many people coming to this place for pick up. I ordered their lemon chicken, dumplings and spicy soup dumplings. They were amazing. Loved the flavour and the spices, they were so yummy. The service was great as well.

Parking is available but limited in the lot in front. Better to look along Kingsway, or in the side streets behind the restaurant. I found it hilarious that the lot specifically prohibits parking for Tina Cake next door. Guess that must've been a problem over the years. The inside is plain and quite dated (old school). Looks like something out of the 1980s. Awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Everything hit the spot in terms of authentic Cantonese. I had the stir fried beef with black pepper sauce, Hainan style chicken, and sweet and sour pork. Everything tasted great. Portion sizes are decent, and prices are quite reasonable. As the dishes are shared, it is best to come in groups (at least 3-4) so more dishes can be ordered. Looks like I've found my go-to for late night Cantonese food. Recommended.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 6 Cantonese food is generally good in Vancouver. This place has been decent in the past and consistently put out large portions of food at reasonable prices. I don't believe anything is outstanding, but always an overall enjoyable meal. Service is relatively friendly too. On a recent night, the most memorable dish had to be the Bean Sprouts w/ Salted Fish, which was full of umami and went well with a bowl of white rice. The Steamed Oysters w/ Garlic Sauce, Beef Chow Fun, and Seafood Chow Mein were all solid. However, the Dry Scallop Fish Maw Soup was bland, and the Goose Casserole w/ Taro was a major disappointment. Reminder to self, I originally wanted to order Tofu Skin in Dry Scallop Sauce, but was convinced otherwise. The recommended dish had snow pea leaves that were a bit tough, though the supreme broth and tofu skin that came with it were yummy. Next time, I want to try my initial selection. Also, don't forget that cheap late night eats is something I should come back for.

With about 9-10 people per table, we were treated to what felt like at least ten courses. There wasn't much time for photos, as conversation and catching up naturally took precedence. The standouts were the seafood fried rice and the green onion lobster and crab stir-fry -- rich, comforting, and generously flavoured, the kind of dishes that quietly anchor a long meal. It was a busy holiday weekend, and the restaurant was packed. Our original 7:00 p.m. reservation was delayed until 8:00 p.m., leaving many of us waiting outside in the cold. Once seated, the pacing felt off, with dishes arriving out of sequence, which gave the meal an oddly disjointed rhythm. A small apology or update from the staff would have been welcome, but none came. Overall, the food was very tasty, and I would consider returning -- particularly to explore more of their seafood offerings.

The BBQ pork here is a step change better than most. It's succulent, tender, savoury, and ever so sweet. The chicken and duck were good too, but not in the same "step change" way (and I personally found the bones and it's fragments annoying to eat around). Great, friendly service, but the temperature of my food was lukewarm to cool suggesting it wasn't all that fresh. Regardless, this place is certainly worth a try!

We also ordered the stir fried flat noodles with beef. For 3 people this was alot of food and we had tons of leftovers! The hainan chicken was so juicy and flavourful and the rice that they cook in the chicken stock is amazing. The braised tofu was so juicy and the bok choy paired with it had a nice crunch. The flat noodles with beef was so good too and not super greasy. I definitely want to return to try different items on the menu.
