    I came here for the first time for dim sum lunch. They did not disappoint. Food: 5/5 - all the dim sum we ordered were delicious. The portions were huge. Best to come here with a group of people so you can order more delicious dishes. I enjoyed the crispy chicken chow mein noodles and shrimp haw gow. You order dishes by checking off what you want on the menu. Service: 5/5 service was good and refilled our tea. Ambiance: 4/5 - place was clean and decent but needs updating.

    Free range steamed chicken  Excellent

    This palace is always busy with lots of repeat customers Dim Sum is very popular My favourite is the pea tops in garlic and shrimp fried rice

    My seat for today.

    This has been my go-to place when I want regular, non-fancy, bring me back to the good old days dim sum where it feels like you jumped into a time portal and warped yourself back to simpler times..... only without the push carts. This restaurant is one of those that took over from another former Chinese restaurant, did not do much to the aesthetics of the place but know how to make good hearty food for a fair reasonable price. The boss is usually around and if you have come here often he probably has gotten to know you, it's a very family friendly atmosphere where you see the grandpa's and gramdma's, uncle's and auntie's... all who live around the area come in as they have an assortment of tables. You will not get any 'fancy' things here, but you will get the classics like har-gow, siu mai, chicken rice wrap, steamed rice rolls, congee, spring rolls, and some other variations. The portions are very good, as some put it, almost like Western Lake, but what you won't have here is your seat up against another person that is not part of your party. If you are out in this part of town and are craving dim sum, just know that they actually serve many dishes also at night, from the last time I asked them. They also have a full array of dinner dishes. You have to come in and try, and if you are someone from the area... I think you already know that this place is looking to be a staple.

    Deep fried halibut with a lot of bones

    First time at this restaurant and it will be the last !!!! They charge for tea or water minimum 2 CND , they charge for containers to take home left over between 70 to 75 cents of CND . First time it happen to me at any restaurant in the world ..... yessss in the world ...because we travel internationally minimum twice a year . The chicken and ginger buns no flavour at all and not fresh. Chicken chow mein so dull , no color no flavour at all , we had to ask for soy sauce .... Thanks God they did not charge for it!!!! The halibut in supreme sauce ... chunks deep fried with a lot of fish bones ... very uncomfortable to eat. Only acceptable was the sweet and sour pork , but small quantity . The mystery is that it was packed with local Chinese people .... So, .....why such a bad culinary ???? Again!!! We will not visit it again .... Last but not least .... Service is ok ..... but not memorable

    Pork spareribs with chicken feet and hotpot rice $9.75

    Dim Sum Review Jade Palace replaced what used to be Ryan's Chinese Restaurant We got some take out dim sum Their website doesn't have a dim sum menu available so we just had to call and ask if they have specific dishes Steamed scallop dumplings with spinach (3 pcs) portion and taste was okay $ 7.95 Pork spareribs and chicken feet with Hotpot rice was very mushy $ 9.75 Sticky wild rice wrap with meat in lotus leaves - 3 pcs for 8.25 Steamed pork dumpling shiu mai ($7.95) tasted alright Chinese donut wrapped in steamed rice roll topped with pork floss was alright, but the rice roll was pretty thick ($ 7.75) Japanese style pan-fried eggplant with shrimp paste $7.75 tasted crispy We also go the house special Chow Mein $20.80 and its nice that they separate the noodle from the sauce I would opt to try their other dishes next time Overall, the dim sum dishes tasted just okay but its quite pricey You get 10% off for take out orders over $30.00

    Honestly, after reading most of the reviews, I expected this place to be less but as soon i got the dimsum and wow its actually pretty good. I got the: 1. Lo mai kai: its kinda mid 2. Cha siu bao: its good 3. The portugese egg tart: trully good and crispy definitely something you should get coming back 4. Hargow: one of the best in town 5. Egg yolk custard bun: this is very good 6. Xiao long bao: avoid at all cost 7. Rice rolls with tofu and fish paste: this is the best you should definitely not wanna miss this 8. Rice rolls with you tiao: this is quite good Now you know what to order here. Honestly, it is recommended in my opinion. Quite disagree with most of the reviewers. Cheers!

    We stopped by over the Thanksgiving weekend and the restaurant was busy. We ordered a six course lobster meal. There was some lag time between dishes, but we were given complimentary custard buns. That was a very nice gesture from the owners. The food itself was pretty good and standard for Chinese food. The lettuce could have been better as I found the leaves to be small. Servers were friendly. No complaints there as the staff came around regularly to clear dirty plates.

    Wor wonton soup

    We came back for a second visit and wow! Price: actually not bad for the wor wonton, about $14 for a small (8pc) Good: Wor wonton: broth was chicken broth and very clean tasting. Lots of veggies NOT coated in sauce - mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, celery, baby corn. Chicken, bbq pork, shrimp. Wontons filled with pork. It wasn't on the dine in menu so had to ask for it. Gold standard wor wonton now. Cod and tofu hot pot: so good. Lots of cod. Lots of tofu. Not a lot of mushroom. Well executed Scallop and egg white fried rice: my fav. So good. Nice wok hei. Red bean soup: average but I've missed it so I happily ate it all Service: you have to get their attention but they're polite and efficient. WOULD COME BACK ALL THE TIME!!

    Braised lobster with sticky rice on lotus leaf
    JT C.

    Passed by this place during its grand opening, but finally in the neighborhood to give it a try. Found parking and entered into a full restaurant with a littler lineup, surprised cause it's on a Monday afternoon. Finally got a table closer to the back and we placed our order for the following; 1. Steamed mixed meat with peanut dumplings. Pretty basic like most dim sum places, nothing special. 2. Steamed shrimp with chive dumplings. Basic nothing special 3. Steamed rice rolls with beef. Pretty fresh and decently smooth. 4. Steamed chicken feet with special sauce. Pretty basic but good they used big chicken feet not midget ones like some restaurants do. Got to have my chicken feet when having dim sum. No chicken feet is no dim sum. 5. Hong Kong style eggplant. Very nice! It's hard to find a restaurant that does this right or good and so far this one comes close. Lightly battered with a light crisp, well deep fried with a nice garlic flakes and light spice aroma. I recommend give this a try if you like eggplants. 6. Braised lobster with sticky rice and corn bits. The lobster was tasty and flavourful, not overcooked so that was good. The rice has that nice lobster oil flavour and wasn't smothered with some Chinese gravy sauce like some Chinese restaurants do, so double thank goodness. Overall, the restaurant has a very casual dining atmosphere, quick service, and the food is pretty basic in regards to taste wise but comes in BIG portions. For those of you who frequents Western Lake, their style here is almost the same, decent taste with big portions. Seeing the boss and the boss lady trying their best to accommodate the customers are a good sign. Their prices are average like everywhere now, this is 2022 not 1992, most dim sum dishes everywhere averages between $6-$9/ dish. I will probably go back and try out its dinner menu.

    Expensive and bland. Food is under-seasoned to say the least. Vancouver's standard for Chinese food is way higher than this. Skip it.

Peking Duck course was fantastic. Food was more than enough for 4 people. Duck lettuce wrap was fantastic we couldn't finish all of it. Hot and Sour Soup was rather sour than spicy. It was not the best, but tasted alright though. My parents would've liked the soup to be a bit spicy. Sliced pork with garlic was good. Deluxe Fried Rice was fresh and tasty. Staff was helpful bringing water and more Hoisin sauce. Food was pretty good. We ended up taking some leftovers home. It was a wonderful dining experience at Chongqing!

The place used to be a fried chicken (fast food) joint way back, so the seating area is actually not that large. Most of the space is taken up by the kitchen. Staff are friendly and professional. The food is typical mid end banquet style, but the flavours are good, and the value is there. Lettuce wrap - standard restaurant fare. Decent quality. Fried green bean - nice and spicy, thanks to the house chili sauce. They can tune the spiciness on this one. Default is on the spicier side. Tasty. Shanghai fried noodles - standard restaurant fare. Hot & sour soup - better than the competition. Not sure what's special about it, but it stood out. Chongqing deluxe fried rice - one of their signature dishes. Great mix of flavour. Crispy rice with shrimp soup - honestly this would be the one dish that wasn't that great. Rice blocks were crispy, but the shrimp soup was nothing special. I'd skip this dish. Other than the crispy rice, everything is pretty standard compared to similar places out there. Expectations were met. Very good value. I'd gladly eat here again. Recommended.

Serving the…read moreChinese dish from Guangxi "River Snail Noodle" (luosifen/螺螄粉), this slightly pungent but delicious dish is quite unique. The base of the soup is made with escargot and then has actual escargot, meats and other vegetables inside with a dazzle of spice. Protip: you can customize the spice level to your liking! I also recommend the mouthwatering chicken (koushuiji/口水雞) which also has a delicious chilli oil spice. Service wise, this restaurant is pretty small and is more of a no-frills service. There aren't a lot of tables so things shouldn't take too long but the usually aren't to many staff on shift. For the price, I think the value makes sense for a rather uncommon dish. Overall, a great choice if you're in the Metrotown area and want to try something new!

    I'm always around Metrotown so I've been slowly attempting to try everything in the area. We've…read morebeen twice for dinner at MaMa Rich. They're a Northern Chinese spot that specializes in Guangxi cuisine and located right next to Onezo Tapioca. Even though it closes at 9:00pm, there were still people after us that came in for late night eats. We didn't have any issues with service; they came by to fill our tea several times. Just wish they gave bigger cups. Food comes out in a hurry. The menu is short and sweet: noodles, rice meals, appetizers, wontons and drinks. Trip #1 First visit was on a late Wednesday evening (around 8:30pm). - Mama's unique special milk tea ($4.80) - we added grass jelly ($0.50) which was unfortunately from a can. The milk tea was different than the norm as there was sweet fermented rice bits mixed in. Decent but don't think we'd get it again. - Sour and spicy crystal noodle ($6.98) - glass noodles with minced pork, bean sprouts, cilantro and peanuts. We got our dish medium spicy which was mild. Broth was excellently balanced; loved the sour notes. Glass noodles had a satisfying bite and cilantro added freshness to the bowl. - House special escargot rice noodles in spicy noodles ($13.98) - escargot, pig ear, beef, tofu, marinated egg, shrimp and pork intestine. There was also pickled green beans, bamboo shoots, tofu skins, wood ear mushrooms and peanuts. Really different with a good variety of textures and flavour. Loved all the types of meat, especially the tender beef, pork intestine and pig ear. Escargot was tasty but we wanted more. The tofu skin and wood ear mushrooms underneath were excellent. - Fresh meat wonton ($5.98) - this comes in a light broth with 15 homemade wontons, pickled seaweed and baby dried shrimp. Broth is basic but the wontons are great. Trip #2 Second trip was on a Friday evening (around 8:00pm). - Braised beef, pig ear and tofu ($10.98) - the beef is the same as what you get in their noodle bowls. Pig ear wasn't crunchy but the sauce (some sort of Chinese mushroom) was good. Tofu was fairly standard. For the price, it's a small dish; I didn't think it was worth it. - Shredded chicken, vegetable and cold noodle with house sauce ($9.53) - they asked us how spicy we wanted it; we went with spicy. Again, it's not so don't worry. The noodles were thin and the sauce was almost like a dan dan mein. We liked how it wasn't overwhelmingly peanuty. - Beef and escargot rice noodle in spicy soup ($9.98) - the beef is super tender. Again, the escargots are hard to find but everything else in this bowl is delicious. Tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, peanuts and pickled green beans. Satisfying and spiciness finally came through. An interesting twist to the usual Northern Chinese spots typically found in town. Cash or debit only.

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.

Big size and very delicious. I'd ask for extra dipping sauce (or the chill oil if you like spicy). These can get messy if you don't be careful. Take a small bite of the skin first and sip the soup inside before diving in. The soup is very hot, so I usually pour it onto a spoon and drink it from there. #13 is translated as "Steamed Mini Pork Buns" in English and Shanghai Xiaolongbao in Chinese on the menu, which is misleading. When I ordered it last time, it turned out to be the same buns as #14, just steamed instead of deep-fried. They're large and not mini at all like traditional XLB. Personally, I didn't enjoy them as much as the fried version and wouldn't order them again. They tend to stick together and aren't very to-go friendly. #14 is the star here, and it's absolutely worth coming back for.
