    Came for my birthday celebration. Food was delightful! Every dish we got was delicious. They gave us complimentary birthday buns which was perfect to end the meal with. Atmosphere is good. Quiet and spacious. Service was great and food came at a good pace. I recommend them for a fancy Chinese meal!

    Overall very good service and delicious food at a high price point. We ordered duck in advance and chose duck fried rice as second course. We spent around 95 USD per person which included two appetizers, two soup, duck, duck fried rice, four drinks, and two dessert shared between four. Duck fried rice was exceptional with crunchy rice and leftover duck meat. The sweet and sour soup dumplings are a MUST order! So cute and comes with a good kick. Ordered the hong long ice tea for drink and wasnt able to taste the alcohol. Everything was great but at such a high price point, I would expect the portions to be larger.

    Overall: A // 5 stars Highly innoative and expertly executed dim sum that truly turns traditional dishes into something even more magical. Everything highly priced, but understandable considering their captivating rendition on every dish on their menu. (Morel Mushroom Cheung Fun: A) - This dish is a thoughtful elevated take on vegetarian rice rolls; julienned vege is wrapped in a crispy shell, followed by a soft rice noodle roll and topped with morel and soy -- all while impressively maintaining a multitude of textures. (Quail Egg Siu Mai: A) - Looks like a regular siu mai, but its stuffed with an entire quail egg!! The soft-steamed nature of the egg adds a pleasant layer of runny egg and works beautifully beyond the gimmick. The crab, pork, and truffle flavors also help develop a sophistocated meat-forward palette. (Lobster Ha Gow: A) - This elevated dumpling highlights lobster in two ways. First, the the lobster meat is still whole inside the dumpling to give it that luscious texture and sweet tenderneas. The shells are reduced into a rich lobster oil, which is a succulent flavor booster. (Jasmine Cooler: B) - Simple and refreshing motttail that serves as an elevated iced tea; I was really excited for the orange blossom but found that component too subtle. Food: +1 Presentation: +1 Price: E Atmosphere: +1 Service: E Menu: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    What an incredible dining experience. We were in town for a conference and decided to splurge for dinner, and Mott 32 was an absolute treat. The sweet and sour ibérico pork XLBs were the standout dish for the night! Incredibly flavorful. But honestly, everything we had to eat was simply excellent. This is a very classy restaurant, so I highly recommend dressing up a bit. The staff is very attentive, and the service overall was fairly quick from ordering to receiving our first dishes.

    Wagyu beef and beens. I want to figure out how they made this. Way better than moms.

    If you like incredible Chinese food then this is the place to go. We went spicy and the Szechuan chicken as well as the spicy dumplings were phenomenal. Service was excellent and very attentive. Noise was on the higher side but the food made it worth it. Drinks were also well made and very satisfying.

    A beautiful and interestingly decorated restaurant. Even a trip to the restroom is an exotic experience. The shrimp har gow and spring rolls with prawn were absolutely perfect prepared! Delicious! Also the kitchen was amiable in do a vegetable substitution on our beef stir fry. Most unfortunate however, was the Signature Lobstet Ma Po Tofu. A nice presentation but the love stopped there. At a whopping $85 it didn't have more than 2-3 ounces or less of lobster, claws aside. The Ma Po flavor was bland and listless. Had the dish been a good ma po recipe it would have lessened the disappointment but it was just Presentation and Price on display. A Signature Big Miss!

    Back to Mott 32 in Vancouver after about 11 months! Still putting up the 5 Star rating from this Yelper. Took the family and had the Peking Duck, AMAZING! If you go, get a reservation in advance and reserve the Duck. I also highly recommend the Abalone and the Frog Leg appetizers. Our server was Michelle and she did an outstanding job making sure we had everything we needed and never went without. Our Sommelier this time was Robert and he selected a wonderful Syrah from Australia. It paired perfect with the duck. Everything from start to finish was excellent! We will be back! Cheers!

    Mott 32 was voted the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver, and it lived up to expectations. The ambience and the service of the restaurant was truly spectacular and in very welcoming. The restaurant was incredibly busy that night, but the weight staff took their time and recommended some great food options. The general T'so is the best I've ever had and the crab fried rice was unique and very flavorful. The hot and sour soup, however, was a little underwhelming and for the price, I was expecting a bigger portion. Mott is expensive, but it's worth it.

    @jfoodreviews here If you want upscale Chinese food, then please do come to mott 32. Although this is a chain in the major cities (Manila, Shanghai, New York, Vegas) so glad I got to try this here in VANCOUVER. If you are going to try the duck, you must order it advance (24hour notice) they have a few if you come in adhoc, however it does take 1 hour to cook if you order . Prices as of sept 2024 $165 duck $35 duck fried rice (add on if you only buy the duck) $35 roasted pork belly $24 hot and sour soup dumpling (4pc) $24 truffle egg siu mai (3pc) The service is absolutely top notch, the constant filling of water, changing of plates, and checking in on you is just the perfect amount. In terms of food taste and cleanliness. It's CLEAN Chinese food, where you don't get a sense of greasiness or oily cloying feeling which is rare especially for Chinese food. If I were to do it again, I would get all the dishes again! This isn't my first time going here. Another dish I love is also the Shanghai scallion noodles those are also delicious if you aren't into rice.

    A friend of mine had wanted to come here for a long time and we finally checked it out last weekend. We made reservation and was seated promptly on Saturday around 12:30. The place was half full, it was not as busy as I thought it would be. We ordered the phoenix tea, Peking duck, Siu Mai, BBQ pork bun and a Thai mango dessert roll. The decor was interesting and the service was definitely top notch. However, I wasn't impressed with the duck, I'd say it's solid but far from what I'd expect it would be for Michelin star restaurant. The best part of the thin wrap. The best part of the meal was the BBQ bun and the Siu Mai. It was the BEST bbq bun I had in my life. The Siu Mei was very interesting with the runny quail egg inside. You definitely need to slow down, take small bites to enjoy the experience. The meal was good, but not out of this world and definitely not worth the bill.

    Mott 32 is a high end Chinese restaurant that's definitely on the pricey side, but after our first meal, it definitely proved its worth. Although my friends recommended the place for dim sum, we had other plans so we ended up there for dinner. They did have a handful of dim sum items, and we started off with xiao long bao's filled with hot and sour soup which were amazing. The cucumbers with pomelo is was another great starter which took two ingredients normally not served together. $78 for char siu is a bit pricey but it was also the best char siu I have had outside of Asia. The lobster mapo was flavorful with just a little heat and with a generous amount of lobster meat. The only dish that was a little underwhelming was their take on general tso - maybe it wasn't greasy enough haha. Desserts are not to be missed and our almond and chocolate xiao long bao were XLB in shape only, with the dessert being solid. Mott 32 also has a great drink list and we tried cocktails, wine and sake. The hanami (Canadian Club Rye / Bombay Gin / Umeshu / Yuzu / Shiso / Ginger Beer / Chrysanthemum) sounds like it has a lot going on but the end result is very well balanced. The wine list is extensive and the wines by the glass option has perhaps the widest range in pricing I have seen with some very nice albeit pricey options. Service was well-coordinated and pleasant and the overall experience was definitely a treat. Will definitely return to try their dim sum, as well as their dinner again!

    I had very high expectations for this restaurant but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The service was ok. Not great. The food was mediocre. The best part of the meal were the dumplings.

    All I can say is that everything at this restaurant was on point…read more Unfortunately, there was horrible traffic (due to the Marathon closures), and we were 1/2 hour late! But the wonderful hostess accommodated us, and I am so glad that she did! I cannot remember everything that we ate, but I know we got pork belly, dumplings, and duck rice cakes. OMG - everything was perfectly and authentically prepared! The wait staff was wonderful and so helpful with ordering and suggestions for eating. What a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to go back to Vancouver and eat at Bao Bei AGAIN!!

    I would rate the 2.5 stars out of 5. We had a reservation…read morefor 6pm , soon after we arrived the restaurant packed up quickly. Almost all the tables were full. They have a selection of snacks and small plates.tapas style and meant for sharing. We ordered a couple of item, they came one by one about 10 minutes apart. The dishes would have tasted so much better if they had came all together. The kitchen couldn't keep up with all the orders. We sat right front of the kitchen where you can see through. The dishes were coming out very slowly. Mautou The short ribs were overcooked and kinda tough to chew. The daikon radish on it was delicious. The plate was sitting for a while so it was not very hot when we got it Dumpling Steamed prawn and scallop dumpling. It was nice and hot. Filling was very good. The wrapper was horrible, it tastes like the cheap super market kind. Sablefish Delicious. Very soft . Didn't feel very Asian . More French style Pea shots Highly recommend by the server. The vegetables was very old and half of it was tough to chew. The tips were edible. It was also sitting for a while before we received it. It was not hot. Barely warm Not very impressed with this place. It's probably the most expensive and worst tasting Chinese food we had. Was not satisfied

    Came here for a Chinese wedding reception and the whole place was reserved for us…read more The food was a set menu and everything on it was yummy and well prepared. I like the way they portioned it and served each of us. They did not skimp out on the ingredients, such as if they say whole abalone, it really is. They definitely served the best seafood. The dessert also was amazing with the brown sugar cake and tapioca pudding. The only reason 1 star was missing was that parking was not that easy and service was mostly good. At times, some staff were not was attentive such as: they took the chopsticks away, but you still needed them. Still, Kirin is solid for it's dim sum and seafood!

    以高級餐廳來說食物品質已經不太行了。不過最讓人失望的是服務態度非常差。當天用餐人不多,但上菜速度卻非常慢,點了四道菜,結果兩道菜先上了,後面兩道等了45分鐘都沒上,想加點白飯和要水也等了很久才有人處理…read more整個過程都感覺被怠慢。 不知道是不是因為我們沒有點高價海鮮或其他高單價餐點,服務人員的態度顯得相當冷淡,讓人用餐體驗大打折扣。以這樣的價位來說,這樣的服務品質實在無法接受。整體感受非常差,不會再訪,也不推薦。 As a high end restaurant, the food quality was below average. However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.
