The deep fried cauliflower was soo so good. The Duck wasn't as flavorful as last time, but was still tasty. The spicy tofu was good, and not too spicy. Although the char siu was super fatty, it had a lot of flavor. The egg tart was delicious. I believe they get them ordered from Maxim's bakery. I could eat more than one back to back. I loved the sauce that came with the salt baked chicken. The marinated eggplant had so much garlic, which I also loved. The chicken wings were so good. It's been years since I've had them, and they didn't disappoint. We ordered catering but the customer service was great. They responded quite quickly to my email. read more

Food had sat in the warming trays for a while and half the menu was crossed off. Don't recommend for dinner, maybe lunch is better. Not the place to come if you are looking for dumplings. read more

I really enjoy this place and have been here twice! Food was GREAT - their pork belly on the bbq plate is amazing and dandan noodles are done just right, especially when you let the noodles cook for longer in the hot broth. Love that the bbq plate includes some gai lan. It's different to Chinatown BBQ which is my other go-to. Also ordered Pu'er tea and black sesame balls. Yum. Service was terrific. Only thing is that there's no purse hook in the bathroom and the toilet is a little dicey for flushing. read more

I've been here before, but on my recent Friday lunch visit the place was buzzing. We waited about 10 minutes for a table, which felt reasonable given the lunch rush. My friend and I both ordered the tan tan noodles with BBQ pork (char siu) -- and wow, this dish really impressed me. The noodles had just the right bite, with a peanuty, flavorful broth that was balanced and satisfying. The char siu was tender, with a perfect meat‑to‑fat ratio, lightly charred edges, and that authentic taste you hope for but rarely get. Honestly, I was surprised at how good it was. Now, one gripe: the bowls. Every single one seemed to have chips around the rim. It's not a dealbreaker, but it does make you cautious when slurping soup -- nobody wants a cut lip with their noodles. Overall though, Heritage delivered a fantastic experience. Great food, solid service, and good value. - Food: 10/10 - ‍ Service: 8.5/10 - Ambiance: 8/10 - Value: 9/10 read more

Great option if you are in the area and or working at the Convention Center and you're tired of the food there and want something Asian.

Came here with coworkers because I wanted noodles and Heritage did not disappoint! The garlic noodles were delicious with char siu pork were delicious and they did not scrimp on pork or eggs. We shared potstickers and those were also very good. Place is very full even after the lunch rush. Service is good and I like the chill, cool interior. read more

Had a great lunch at Heritage Asian Eatery today. We had the Salt Chicken plate and the Char Siu Pork Belly plate with Lamb & Dill wontons and Sticky Rice & Wild Mushroom wontons. The wontons were fresh and hot with wonderful flavor profiles. Lamb wontons were not spicy though they looked like they might be. Rice plates came with gai lan which is sort of a leafy broccoli green. Service was super friendly and the room was not loud. Would love to come back and try the baos and soups! read more

We were downtown and looking for a quick bit. Searched some reviews and this was only a couple blocks from where we were. The menu looked solid and we were hungry! We started with the prawn toast, which was perfectly crispy and loaded with savory goodness. The balance of texture and taste made it a memorable start to the meal and my absolute favorite! The dan dan noodles followed, bringing a satisfying kick of heat and a rich, nutty sauce that complemented the chewy noodles beautifully. I didn't need the extra bbq pork I added... or did I? Regardless, it was very flavourful and the combination of spice and umami was simply spot-on. We also enjoyed the roast duck two ways: with rice and in a fluffy bao. The roast duck with rice was juicy and expertly cooked, while the bao featured tender slices of duck encased in a soft, pillowy bun. Both preparations highlighted the duck's incredible depth of flavor, and everything we tried was super tasty. Also, de-boned some duck and added to the bao to really pack in the protein! This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delicious, flavor-packed experience. And no, that is not a randomly added picture. Find it in the restaurant:) read more

Friday night at Heritage Asian Eatery on Pender Street doesn't disappoint with Prawn Toast, Dan Dan Noodles, Roast Duck BBQ Plate and Duck Bao! This is our first time at Heritage Asian Eatery. This Chinese restaurant is an upscale eatery that delivers bold and delicious comfort food with a modern twist. We walked in on a Friday night and we were initially seated at the bar as all the tables were full. After we ordered, a staff approached was that a table freed up so we moved to a table seat with ease. Each dish was just delightful and brought great memories and feels dining with my parents (who are both no longer with us) and siblings just sharing comfort Chinese food. Honestly felt like a nice big hug with each bite. I found out there is a Main Street location that just opened up which is closer to where I reside. As well, I work in North Vancouver and I am waiting for Heritage Asian Eatery to open in Lonsdale Quay! read more

Service was great! We got in right before the rush even without a reservation we were seated very quickly and were given refreshments and menus. The space is small, so the downside is that when the lunch rush entered we kind of had people towering over us a bit near the door just from where we were sitting. There was construction occurring so it was also quite loud. Staff were polite and timely. I am a huge chicken fiend. I will ALWAYS order wings no matter where I go if it's on the menu, haha. Their chicken wings were okay. Great crisp, but it was missing on the flavor. I got the salty fried flavor but nothing was super spectacular about them. Now for my chicken bowl, it was really delicious. The scallion oil poured onto the seasoned crispy chicken was a umami bomb. My boyfriend ordered a duck bowl- I'm not a huge fan of duck but I will say that it was prepared where it wasn't oily or fatty at all which was a pleasant surprise for me. read more

This place had some good reviews and it was in walking distance from out hotel so we decided to give it a chance. The staff was all very nice and attentive. The food was very good.

Came here because my boyfriend saw a post on instagram raving about their unique dimsum. I didn't end up getting the dimsum because the truffle shiumai that we wanted was sold out when we came. We opted for the dandan noodle and the honey roasted pork instead. The dandan noodle was not what I was expecting at all as I expected more of a dryer noodle rather than a soup. The taste was also completely different than what I would expect from a dandan noodle. This one had a peanut base while I am used to sesame and sichuan peppers, typical of dandan, on my noodles. While it took me by surprise, the taste was quite good, just not sure if I would consider this dandan. The honey roasted pork on the other hand was very juicy and flavorful. It was soft and I love the sweetness in the pork. I'd come back here just for the pork and maybe to try out the chili garlic noodle! The restaurant is a bit on the smaller side but I like that it gave more of an intimate feel. From what I remember, it is pretty quiet inside too, but I did go on a week night. read more

This little venue has been on my radar for some time and I'm glad that I finally made a visit. The restaurant itself is very sexy, it's lightly themed, clean and I very much adore the hanging neon 'Hello Dumpling' sign. Service was fantastic, we were greeted, seated, check on and everything came in a very timely manner. It was a party of two and we ordered prawn dumplings, mushroom bao, marinated eggplant and duck bao. I really appreciated that Heritage has vegetarian options on their menu! I was all about the mushroom bao and could not stop thinking about the slippery eggplant that had so much flavour. I liked it and now have a new sit down casual lunch option in Coal Harbour. read more

Yelp Review 2023 #249: This little eatery is conveniently across the street from the hotel we're staying at. Heritage's menu is simple and features some of the most popular Asian dishes. They have Xiao long bao, noodles, rice bowls, bao, mantou, etc. Xiao Long Bao: Little dumplings with hot soup and meat inside. Tasty and hot. 4/5 Pork Belly Bowl: Rice topped with shredded veggies and what appears to be taro, marinated pork belly slices, and egg. Comfortingly delicious. The pork belly is flavorful, rich and fatty. 4/5 Duck Bao: Fatty slices of duck with sauce in a pillowy bun. 3.5/5 Pork Belly Bao: Pillowy bun with fatty pork belly goodness. 4/5 Matcha Mantou: You'll find mantou in Chinese restaurants and a few Korean restaurants. They're either steamed or fried served with condensed milk for dipping. But here at Heritage, you get about 5 fried golden brown buns with matcha dipping sauce. A simple dessert. 4.5/5 They have a few tables. Service is great. You come up to the counter to place your order and pay. Find a table and wait to grab your food. The food comes out hot and fresh in 15-20 minutes. read more

Pleasantly surprised with food quality and taste. The gai lan is awesome - topped with some crispy garlic, the sticky rice mushroom dumplings were very good, the spicy crispy tofu had a great chili sauce. The spring rolls were good but a little too mushy inside for my liking, still tasty though. Great little spot for a snack! Hits the dim sum type craving downtown . read more

We were so delighted walking out of the restaurant. Who knew! We were on our Sunday morning walk to check out a bakery nearby. Hunger stroke in the late morning and I had a craving for dim sum. I was thinking about Victoria but my husband reminded me of Heritage which we had read about recently. We were skeptical about how authentic the food would be given the location but we thought we would support a small business by giving a try and we are both very glad that we did! We ordered 3 items to share: 1. A rice dish with BBQ duck, BBQ park and roast chicken 2. Prawn toasts 3. Wonton in chili oil We walked in around 1130 and there was only one table seated inside. Service was extremely attentive. The server told us what the popular dishes were given it was our first visit. I love prawn toasts. The bread was crispy but soft on the inside. The paste had a nice slightly chewy texture. The heat level of the chili oil bathing the wontons was just right. All 3 meats on the rich plate were very nice. The duck pieces were juicy and tender and had a good layer of fat under the skin. The BBQ pork also had good proportions of fat and meat from belly part of the pig. The roast chicken pieces were flavourful and very tender as well. I'm glad to see that the restaurant was full by the tine we left around 1230. read more

Thought this place was good and not bad prices for downtown Vancouver. The duck and the pork belly were amazing and I'd get both those on a BBQ again. Ask for the chili oil sauce it elevates everything. I thought the broth in the wonton soup could use a little more flavor, but I enjoyed everything overall. Quick service too! read more

Unfortunately, when my girl and I went on August 27th there was pretty loud construction outside so the place was noisy so we tried to exit faster than we would like. The staff were very nice and accommodating considering the circumstances. I ordered the duck rice bowl and this was some of the best duck I've ever had. The skin was crisp and the duck did not have any fat parts. The boiled greens and egg were a great addition. Would definitely recommend! read more

Few things to note for this review 1. Used uber eats 2. Ordered 1.5 hours before closing on a Thursday. 3. Picked food up around 15 minutes past time it was ready. With all that being said, I would not tell anyone to eat here and I certainly would not come again. The quality of the food was very subpar. The meats were dried up from either being overcooked or being cooked long before being ordered, rice was dry and the siu mai left very much to be desired. I normally don't eat at restaurants that get rated less than 4 on Yelp but there was a huge difference with google reviews so I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it. Let's just say, Yelp was definitely more on target than google reviews. read more

Something that got me really annoyed was I kept seeing photos of dishes on their Yelp & Google pages but they don't actually exist on their menu. I'm not sure if they are revamping their menu or if it's crossing over with their other location or what but it's definitely misleading and disappointing. (I posted a pic of their menu as of 8/10/22) Overall, the food was decent. I enjoyed the duck and pork bowl. I did not like the Steamed Salted egg buns - I didn't taste any flavor in the filling and it was mostly bun. The cauliflower was OK - could've been more crispy. XLB was lacking in flavor and bland. Overall, just an OK meal for me. Lacking beverage options on the menu too. The pictures on the sites make the food look better than they taste. read more

We were walking in Vancouver downtown, and wanted to visit the German village in Burrad Street, but we had not gotten the tickets and so we strolled around the bay until we got exhausted and were looking to eat some hot tasty food. Heritage Asian eatery came up in our Yelp search and we decided to trudge along and enter this small but modern place. The receiving staff was very polite and seated as immediately. He recommended and we ordered the pork belly and chicken barbeque because this is an Asian Chinese barbeque joint along with rice and bok choy. Once we had that which was fantastic, we had garlic, chilli, noodles, dan-dan noodles, chicken wings, which were extremely tasty, best we had in a long time. All in all of food was fantastic, served hot, and we experienced the best of of modern Asian food. A must visit for anybody in downtown Vancouver. read more

Team was in on our weekly Wednesday office day and everyone was undecided on where to go for lunch. I suggested going to Heritage Asian and off we went. The menu seems to have changed since the last time I came. They have a 1, 2 or 3 BBQ meat bowl and I asked if it was possible to order the 2 item bowl but get one BBQ meat and the other to be eggplant. The server told me I could order the 1 item bowl for $12 and order an eggplant as a side for $3 which would basically be almost the same price as the 2 BBQ meat bowl ($15.75). What I ended up getting was a large portion of eggplant, a steal at $3. The dish was so large that I ended up sharing it with the rest of the table. The soy chicken bowl was also of good portion for $12. Great friendly service that was prompt. I also really appreciate the free homemade chili oil they provide. Solid place for a meal! read more

This restaurant was right across the street from our hotel and it had good reviews on Google so my family decided to try it one day when it was raining. I don't know why their Yelp review is not very good because the food and service are both fantastic. We ate inside with our young child and it was great for that since we were looking for a more casual family friendly place in downtown. We got BBQ duck and pork plate, Dan Dan noodles (more broth than typical but it was still tasty), prawn toast, and sesame balls. Everything was super delicious, and that's coming from a Chinese person who eats a lot of authentic Asian food! Order the sesame balls if you still have room after the main course, it's filled with gooey black sesame instead of the typical red bean, which was delightful surprise and very yummy!! read more

Ambiance simple. Service great. Food was good, not great. Overall, not bad, but nothing special.

Great food, great service and great ambiance experience and the drinks just add to the above!

We were craving some Chinese comfort food on our visit to rainy Vancouver and we found just the spot! The food is incredible. We had Chinese broccoli with garlic chips, two types of dumplings, sable fish, fried tofu and rice. We added their chili oil and their housemates scallions ginger sauce. My wife stated that if she were to have to choose a last meal on earth, this would've been it the one. I don't disagree. This place is no nonsense and simple a stark contrast to the artisan food. Excellent!!! read more

Saw this place online and came looking for a quick dinner. A nice small fast casual spot with different types of bowls and other good stuff. We got the pork belly bowl and the matcha mantou to share. The pork belly bowl was huge and good to share for a small dinner. There was a lot of rice and braised pork belly along with some crispy taro, pickled veggies, and a soft boiled egg. Only not so great thing was the egg was a little overdone but it was around an hour left before closing. The matcha mantou are deep fried donuts with a matcha dipping sauce. Nice and warm and the sauce was a perfect compliment and not too sweet. I would definitely come here for a quick lunch and dinner often if I lived near one. read more

I recently went here with some colleagues after a conference on a rainy and bitterly cold day. I wasn't expecting much, but the food here really hit the spot. We ordered drinks to start - my friends had pinot noir and I ordered the freixenet cava which came with a cool bottle. We shared everything family style. We had the XLB to start which was fresh and tasty. The soy sauce was a bit strange to me but otherwise the chili oil gave it a slight kick. The marinated eggplant was so crispy and delicious with a slightly sweetened glaze. We also ordered radish cakes which were tasty. The garlic chili noodles were the star of the show and were excellently flavored. If I'm in the area again I'd definitely like to come back and try some of their other dishes! read more

The food was delicious. We arrived within minutes of their opening and were seated immediately. The wait staff was attentive, but definitely steered us wrong in one instance. Based on the reviews here, we explicitly asked if the dan dan noodles were wet or dry, and were assured that they were dry. Nevertheless they were in a peanut broth and served with a spoon and soy egg and I can't see any way they could be described as dry. Nevertheless, they tasted very good; they just weren't what was described. read more

Heritage is a partner of the Ritual app. I ordered the dan dan noodle off of the app. I had no idea that this restaurant even existed. I came here to pick up the food and was surprised that the restaurant was super busy during lunch time. The noodle itself was not bad. It was a bit too spicy for me. There was a lot of meat inside the noodle. As a tip, its better off to eat in than to have it to go. Their take out boxes are smaller. Overall, I liked the dan dan noodle. It was very flavorful. One thing I found is that it had a lot of sauce. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

The food was ok, not bad. However the service from one waiter was very bad. He gave us 2 menus. My son who is 2 years old was playing with one menu by just opening and closing the menu and caused no damage to it. I was at the same time reading the menu he was holding. Suddenly the waiter came by and quickly took away the menu my son was holding in a very rude way. He didn't say a word. We were all shocked and looked at him. It definitely ruined our dinner. read more

Ambience is nice and chic, service is attentive. I ordered a Dan Dan noodle, noodle texture is al dente, peanut sauce tastes fine, but the peanut bits have gone rancid. I told the server about it, he apologized and told the kitchen. The kitchen staff tasted it and agreed with what I said. The server tried to make it up by asking if I want sesame ball as dessert. But I'm full already, and I'm in a rush to go back to the office, so I didn't take up his offer. So I just asked for the bill, and honestly, I'm quite surprised the server didn't offer any discount to compensate for that. Price are on the pricey side, but in downtown Vancouver, everything is expensive. If I'm craving for Asian in that area, perhaps I'll give it another try. Hope it won't disappoint me anymore if there's a next time. read more

The menu has changed since I originally started visiting this place, way back when I was working downtown. I can only comment on the chicken bowl really since that's one of the items that has stayed on the menu. I like the chicken bowl a lot. The pieces are deep fried and a little tricky to eat but I like the crispy texture. The ginger scallion sauce tastes pretty nostalgic and like the sauce you get with chicken at Chinese BBQ places. For me it was always a solid option for lunch while working even if it has gone up in price. Prior to the pandemic it was great value, now it's just so-so. The portion is big enough that you'll be full without ordering anything else, though. I'd probably skip the sides, I don't think they're worth it and they're just ok. Ambiance inside is pretty nice, it's clean. I prefer to eat in but if you get the rice bowl to go it's still pretty good. read more
