Wow the level of service here was amazing. What a neat experience to have someone take care of you and handle all the decisions. We had a waiter who asked us it was okay if he just brought us dishes since we were not sure what to get. He handled EVERYTHING and brought us some amazing dishes. Not only was all the food delicious but this restaurant is beautiful and it's such a great place to come with friends.

It was a true pleasure hosting my out of town relatives at Mott 32 to enjoy some of the finest Cantonese cuisine in Vancouver for a birthday celebration. The restaurant absolutely lived up to its reputation; the food and service were both exceptional, making for a truly memorable evening. We pre-ordered the Applewood roasted Peking Duck a day in advance and opted for the second course by adding duck fried rice. Along with two additional dishes and a soup, the four of us were incredibly full, we even had enough duck left over to take home! Since I brought a 4-inch birthday cake, we skipped dessert, but we were pleasantly surprised when the restaurant generously provided complimentary Longevity Peaches (Shoutao) for the occasion. The only minor inconvenience was the valet parking ($21). Due to ongoing lobby renovations, I had to drive to the back for both drop-off and pick-up, which felt a bit redundant for a valet service. I hope the hotel completes the work soon so guests can once again enjoy curbside drop off service. Overall, Mott 32 is a top-notch establishment with great ambiance. I will definitely be bringing more family and friends back for future celebrations!

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!

Mott 32 has officially ruined all other dim sum for me-- but in the best possible way. Every bite was thoughtful, refined, and unforgettable, setting a new standard I didn't even realize I was missing. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. It reminded me of Dishoom--moody, elegant, and immersive, striking that perfect balance between old-world charm and modern sophistication. It feels special without ever feeling stuffy. From the atmosphere, to the exceptional service that made the entire meal feel like a special occasion, to the food itself, Mott 32 is truly an experience--not just a meal. I'll be chasing this level of dim sum from here on out, and happily returning the next time I'm in the area! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

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.

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!

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.

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!

me coming back a year later just to get the ice cream to go... o_o came back to vancouver and knew what i needed to get. also the hostess was very sweet and accommodating since there were no tables available at the time

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.

It's dumplings and rest of the menu and decor is not as pretentious and grandiose than DTF on Melville ... only 7 minutes walk away .. will worth the walk from fakeness and wokeness ...

I went back, and can't say enough how amazing this place is! It's very quant and intimate. We came…read morefor dinner and thankfully made resos. The idea is to share plates, and they recommended 2-3 plates per person. We did just that for the 4 of us. I'm vegetarian but had a ton of options to choose from. We started with their Shnacks, including sichuan smashed cucumbers, mala soy vinaigrette, salted napa cabbage, sesame dressing, and crispy tofu, garlic sweet soy, water chestnut. These are all tasty and had different elements of flavor. These cucs are classic and had a kick. The Napa cabbage were perfectly sliced and I would drink the dressing. The tofu is legit! Perfectly crispy and soft inside. But that sauce is the shit! Adding more to the tofu as it cools on your plate is a must! We then partook in their Petits Cadeaux, which was the vegetarian potstickers and steamed pork dumplings. These veg were slightly fired and huge. They had so much flavor and paired with the chilli oil, I was so pleased! We then got some vegetables which paired nicely with everything. You must get the king pea tips, garlic, shaoxing and glazed crispy eggplant, gochugaru leek & carrot, sesame salt. The pea tips melt in your mouth. They are so delicate and warm. The eggplant is the most unique way I've had eggplant! Such a good side. Service is incredible. Our server was so helpful and on top of everything! The girls had a few drinks which were all unique and fancy AF! Loved this place this time!

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!!
