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.

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.

Absolute BEST dim sum I've had yet. Made to order, the food was hot, juicy, and tasted just right…read more Not greasy or oily, just pure juiciness. We tried to go to other places around town for dim sum but others were too busy or only took reservations. I'm so glad we ended up here. Portions are huge so be careful when ordering! We ordered a lot and ended up having plenty to take home after. 12/10 recommend this place for delicious dim sum!

Overall: 3.5/5 This was a last-minute family dinner, and…read morewith such a large group, Royal Palace had the seating capacity to comfortably host us. 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.

Shanghai Dim Sum House is a great little spot tucked away on the third floor of Crystal Mall's food…read morecourt. The food court itself is full of different Asian cuisines, and this stall definitely stands out. They offer a wide variety of Shanghai-style dim sum, including dumplings, wontons, rice cake, several meat noodle soups, and some combo rice dishes. I ordered the Sichuan Style beef noodle soup, and it was surprisingly delicious and spicy -- the broth was flavorful, and the beef was incredibly tender. Even though it's just a small food court stall, the quality of the dishes makes it worth a visit. If you're already exploring Crystal Mall or craving some quick and tasty Shanghai-style snacks, this place is a solid choice.

One of the must visit stalls for me in this food court. Highly recommend…read more I always get the #14 Shanghai Style Deep-Fried Pork Buns (5 pieces). Freshly made on the spot. 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.

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.

I think this is one of the best decorated Kirin restaurants with a small garden & a private room to hold several tables. In addition, it is wheelchair accessible in the restaurant. The space in the restaurant is wide enough for wheelchairs which is a rarity in an Asia restaurant. Across our table were 2 tables of older adults with the staff from the Success care homes (located in Vancouver) having lunch. Many were in wheelchairs & having a great meal. The dim sum here is fresh & service is good. They would also carry dim sum items ( freshly made from the kitchen) to ask customers whether they liked an item that is immediately available. The dim sum is ordered from a menu.
