The Fish Man lived up to the hype. Reservations are helpful because the restaurant was packed, and…read morewe still waited about 5-10 minutes after arriving. We found street parking, though there appeared to be a few spaces behind the restaurant if you're lucky enough to snag one. The ambiance is bright and lively, but people are definitely here for the food. Service was friendly and efficient, with servers, runners, and other staff constantly refilling water and clearing tables. We started with the scallops and vermicelli. They came with plenty of garlic, but the scallops were somewhat overcooked and tougher than I prefer--about three stars for that dish. The mala hotpot with lingcod was the star of the meal, with a wonderful balance of tongue-numbing spice, deep flavor, fish, and vegetables. The clams were equally delicious, served in a sweet and spicy sauce that was so good I kept stopping the staff from clearing the plate so I could spoon more of it over my white rice. The yu choy with garlic sauce had an excellent crunch and plenty of flavor, making it a great vegetable dish to balance the meal. The Coedo Yuzu beer paired beautifully with the spicy food and had a pleasantly sweet, citrusy taste. An excellent meal overall and absolutely worth the visit. Enjoy!

This is the place to come to have northern Chinese style seafood, especially fish. You choose from hotpot, soup, or steamed fish and get tons of fresh choices. You can choose for the hotpot the soup, weight of fish, veggies, spiciness level, and other adjustments. It is HUGE! We chose the nonspicy soup, with package of tofu skin, lotus root, seaweed knots. The fish is pretty good. Good flavour - though I have to admit I'm not one to try the spicy, but don't worry the soy no spicy flavour is still pretty flavourful. I got some rice to go with it and I definitely recommend something to go otherwise it's pretty soupy. The other dishes were reflective of a very high quality place. - cucumber salad was excellent. I loved the peanuts in there to contrast. - I LOVED the Morel mushroom and tofu. It was amazing. The morel... wow. So succulent. Brown sauce has great balance too. - I really liked the fried rice.

The mall was also pretty empty and you do have to go up a few escalators before getting to the restaurant. The clientele was pretty much mostly gramps and granmas on a weekday, so vibes were very chill, but I would imagine weekends are a different story. Overall, the food is excellent. Don't have a reference against the rest of Richmond / Vancouver, but it's definitely way better than the options in Seattle by a mile. You order everything with a pencil before the staff delivers the items to your table. Standouts for me were the radish cakes, which were crispy on the outside, but had super tender sweet radish chunks throughout. Siu mai, har gow, and rice rolls were just the classics done well. Nothing completely blew my socks off, but in other ways, doing so many classic items well is a huge accomplishment.

I also ordered fries it was huge! Fries were bit salty and overcooked I tossed it out in the end. I left my water and soda to drink them later after heading to washroom.

You'll want to make a reservation WEEKS in advance and hope for the best! Our group ordered so many delicious items, and some standouts were: Shrimp Har Gao: These were crisp and tasty, with a skin that was the appropriate thickness - and of course had enough slip to it. Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too! I love eggplant, especially the stuffed ones. The sauce paired very well and was simply satisfying. Mushroom Noodles: This was honestly a hot mess and hot miss. It tasted very bland like airplane food... highly recommend not ordering this! Cheung Fun - The rice noodle was crisp and very satisfying. Whether an oil stick or protein, highly recommend this one. What's nice is eating here was very relaxing late in the afternoon. The overall ambiance is spacious and quiet enough for conversation. Either we got lucky missing out on the liveliness, or all the aunties with tea left before we arrived. Overall, I could see myself coming back for the dim sum... but have a little more reservation (no pun intended) when trying their lunch items.

This is a bit of a late review. I visited back in March…read more It's hard to find good Chiu Chow food in Vancouver, so when I heard about this place, I had to give it a try. I made a reservation just in case, but to my surprise, it wasn't too busy. The restaurant isn't fancy, but for me, it's all about the taste. When I arrived, I spoke with the chef (I presumed) and asked for recommendations. He suggested a few of their most popular dishes. I especially loved the oyster pancake, blanched squid, and the taro dish with sweet-and-sour sauce. The service was very friendly too, which made the dinner more enjoyable. If you never try Chiu Chow cuisine before, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

Ever since my mom passed two years ago, I've been on the hunt for dishes that remind me of my…read morechildhood. I recall frequenting a number of Chiu Chow restaurants as a child, salivating over large platters of marinated meats, indulging in delectable stir fries, and overeating the delicious fried taro dessert ubiquitous with the cuisine. For those who don't know, the Teochew or Chiu Chow people are a sub-ethnic group within the majority Han Chinese population, with their own distinct dialect and culture. The Lower Mainland used to have an abundance of restaurants specializing in this regional cuisine, including Park Lane and Tong Kung in Richmond, but all have closed shop over the last few years. I've been searching for something to fill that gap and I think Chuan Yue fits the bill. This unassuming hole in the wall covers most of the classics. Between the two of us, we tried the marinated goose, satay beef and gai lan pan fried noodles, oyster omelet, and oyster and minced pork soup rice. I'd say the goose isn't necessarily a must order - there's a lot more skin and bone than I'm used to and I'd probably go for the duck instead once they have that in stock. The oyster omelet was phenomenal though. With its crispy edges, chewy crust and an abundance of oysters, this dish was a real winner. We also really enjoyed the oyster rice soup dish. The broth was light and comforting, and the cilantro and marinated olive leaves throughout added a savoury touch. We were both stuffed to the brim and opted for no dessert, but lamented our decision as we saw their fried taro dessert headed for another table. The waitress was came back from the kitchen with a few pieces for us to try, knowing we wouldn't have room for a full order. We'll definitely be back for this as the sugar coating was perfectly crunchy and the taro expertly cooked. We spoke with the owner about how rare it is to find authentic Chiu Chow food in Vancouver anymore, and he was incredibly kind, telling us we could pop in anytime or request specific dishes if we so desired. He even gave me his business card, pointing out that he's the vice president of the Vancouver Teochew Association so he doesn't serve anything inauthentic. All in all, despite their dated interior, Chuan Yue is a great option for traditional Chiu Chow style dishes. I can't speak for their other offerings but I do think they're worth a visit if you're looking for something new.

Food: I ordered a two piece combo with one spicy and one original. Im not a fried chicken kinda guy, so, just take it as a grain of salt, but weren't bad. They were very crispy. The combo came with a side, a biscuit, and a bottle of drink. The biscuit had sweet crispy glaze on it, which was unexpected. I liked that they have bottled drinks, not a soda fountain. Because I don't drink soda, I got a bottle of water for the airplane ride. I went a couple of restaurants down and got coffee from Starbucks. Service: The lady who helped me was (came across) blunt but was nice. She even gave me a free chicken finger to try. Price: My two piece meal with a biscuit, a side, and a drink came to CAD 10.35 (USD 7.80), which is more than reasonable for airport food.
