    We went to this place for an early lunch. On that day, we ordered Shaoxing Wine Chicken, Xiao Long Bao and Sizzling Eel Sheds in Soy Sauce with braised noodle. The Xiao long Bao was tasted great. The bao was filled with tasty soup with perfect tender meat. The wrapping is thin which was great in texture. The Eel dish was great in taste. The meat was tender and the sauce was a great paired. The chicken was good. Although the chicken was great in taste however I found the meat was a little tough in texture. Service was good with great gesture. I recommend you make a reservation or prepare to wait in line.

    Despite the busy line, we love the convenience of waiting inside the mall for this restaurant. The place is pretty clean and bright our table was quite spacious. Ordered the usual famous dishes like pan fried pork buns, xiaolong bao, stir fry eggplants with green beans, stir fry noddles, and kung pao chicken. Service was speedy but not impolite. The dishes were alright. I think seasoning could be a bit stronger in my opinion but it was still a pleasant meal. The buns and bao maintained their juiciness although I think we prefer those found in Crystal Mall better in terms of the broth flavour.

    Osmanthus is located at 4151 Hazelbrige Way, Aberdeen Center, Richmond, BC Food: delicious and tasty. Long time didn't have such a great Shanghai style dishes. Service: Waitress is "almost" aside to serve each table. Ambiance: At no doubt

    "At Osmanthus, we invite you to embark on an exquisite culinary expedition that traces its roots back to the glorious era of the Song Dynasty. Our traditional Chinese restaurant is a haven for connoisseurs of fine dining, where we meticulously craft Jiangnan dishes that pay homage to the rich history and flavours of this enchanting region. " - an except from their website. Well said! This place showcases unique dishes that are much elevated and delicately prepared. Ambiance is modern Chinese with tables covered with white linens. Unlike typical Chinese restaurants, servers are quite careful in setting the table. We asked for fork and knife and they were placed nicely for each of us. Food is very good using expensive ingredients to elevate taste. We had their: Honey Glazed Prawn in Crispy Pastry $36.95 蜜汁酥皮蝦 Braised Big Yellow Croaker with Fish Maw $68.95家燒花膠大黃鱼 Song's Dongpo Pork $19.95 宋式東坡肉 Stewed Pork's Stomach with Mushrooms $22.95 豬肚燴筃菇 Egg White and Shrimp Stir-Fry $28.95 賽螃蟹 There are more dishes on their menu worth trying. So will be back for sure.

    Came back here and brought my dad along as well this time. There is a mapo tofu dish in the menu for $3.95. We thought it was a typo but it wasn't! We checked with their staff and they told us that that is the price. We, of course, ordered it. We went at 5:30 pm and the place was already packed! It was a good thing that I made reservation earlier in the week. If you plan your go, make sure you make reservations just in case.

    Fantastic food, at least for the comfort food that I ordered. The food I ordered are not intricate but food I would be happy eating every day. Decor is a standard, nice chinese restaurant. Service is the same as most Chinese restaurant - don't expect way too much but the staff is polite. Food highlights: Steam dumpling: tasty and good soup, but the wrap can be a tad thinner Vinegar short ribs - excellent, esp with a bowl of rice, well balance of salt and vinegar Vermicelli claypot - one of the best i had ... so light on oil and so tasty Steam scallops - ok and a good price Friend pork buns - this is a bit average and not my first choice

    Very good shanghai restaurant! Delicious and authentic 因为很久没有回国一直想吃口地道点的菜。桂总体体验非常好,口味接近于小时候的一些饭店,非常感动[哭惹R] 响油鳝丝:酱的味道感觉对,可能是因地制宜所以用了洋葱炒,但大体感觉对。需要把葱蒜拌匀,最好再加点白胡椒粉拌匀。 腌笃鲜:因地制宜用了青笋而不是冬笋,但是口味很好。 (早餐)鲜肉月饼:酥皮是我喜欢的质感!口味总体很好! 龙井虾仁:喜欢!我一般稍微淋一点点醋吃 蟹粉小笼:确实是蟹粉的!喜欢!蘸醋 宋嫂鱼羹:喜欢,清淡鲜甜汤 鳕鱼熏鱼:第一次尝试鳕鱼做的熏鱼,酱汁口味很好,总体口感很好 小圆子:很大一碗,两人慎点 (早餐)苏式老卤面:是食堂、一般面馆会吃到的苏式面!早上吃了暖胃,排骨的味道不错 豆浆:甜的版本略甜... 非常推荐!

    Came across Osmanthus while we walked around looking for somewhere to sit down and have lunch. We decided to give it a try as it was a new restaurant that we both haven't been to before and there was no line up. Food was definitely more fusion but same authentic flavours! We loved everything we ordered. And the staff were really nice ( I had a screaming baby and a toddler running around the whole time -- sorry!!) the kids loved the food too!

    $3.95 mapo tofu steal this place in Aberdeen is newly opened and serves up quite the variety. And not to mention a huge steal for mapo tofu lovers! The tofu was mala and super delicious and soft and paired so well with the rice! They even have a ton of other dishes worth trying! * Fresh meat xiao long bao($11.95) was delicious and light and the skin wasn't too thick, the soup was perfectly flavoured too! * Shanghai stir fried noodles with three shredded ingredients ($18.95) ~ bomb I really enjoyed these noodles they were bouncy and very flavourful! I'd come back to get these again for sure! * We also got their: - Song dongpo pork ($19.95) - Golden sand organic prawn ($28.95) - Eggplant with garlic sauce ($16.95) - Handmade pine cake ($11.95) ~ we got the purple sweet potato jujube paste and the pumpkin one - Steam rice ($2.50) * Overall this was such a delicious meal and I'm definitely coming back to try more!

She wanted to go to Kirin. Plenty of parking in the mall. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly. Restaurant was busy but not crazy. This was at 10am on a Thursday. Waiters were attentive. Usual table service was in place. Took our order and food came out at acceptable pace. When we were done, they politely boxed up the leftovers and we paid our bill. So service was on point. The food we ordered came out hot. The staples that I order to test was hargow, suimai and pai gwut(spareribs). All 3 dishes in general were good.....the hargow could have used an extra minute or 2 in the steamer. The suimai was very good. I tasted every ingredient in this dish. Usually it is just a complete mix and you can't discern the different flavors. They tried something different with the cheongfun by adding pieces of Chinese donut to the roll. I personally think it didn't add much to the dish, taste or texture wise. I did like the pea shoots with shrimp. I think it is a good combo. All in all a good dimsum. I also noticed they did not charge us a tea service. The cost of the food is comparable with other restaurants at this level. Yes come on a date or impress business clients/boss or family celebrations.

    I have many Chinese friends in Vancouver, and my last visit to Kirin Richmond was in July 2024…read more This time, it was my birthday, and my friends insisted on treating me to Kirin Richmond once again. On a typical Sunday evening, the restaurant is usually fully occupied, but my friend had thoughtfully made a reservation a week in advance, so our table for five was ready upon arrival. As always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with good airflow thanks to the wide-open front entrance facing the parkade. The front desk receptionist greeted us cordially, and we were escorted to a cozy table in a comfortable location -- not too close to the washrooms, which I appreciated. Our meal began with the Kirin Special Assorted Cold Appetizer, followed by Crab Meat, Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw Soup. The soup arrived piping hot and was delicious, with a generous portion that could easily have served eight people. We also enjoyed Pea Tips Braised with Bean Curd and Assorted Mushrooms in Consommé, Marinated Free-Range Crispy Skin Chicken, Fillet of Cod Sautéed with Seasonal Vegetables, and Live Crab in Consommé with Ginger and Green Onion, served with E-fu Noodles. Overall, the quality and taste of every entrée were excellent. Service was top-notch -- tea and hot water were refilled constantly, bones and used plates were replaced promptly, and the servers were friendly and engaging throughout the evening. My friend and his family have apparently been regulars at this location for over two decades, which likely contributed to the exceptional attentiveness we received. However, one aspect of the experience genuinely disturbed me. All servers, including the captains, continued to wear masks at all times. While this practice was understandable two years ago, now -- five years after the onset of the pandemic, with COVID-19 managed similarly to other seasonal respiratory illnesses -- the continued universal masking in a fine-dining environment feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall guest experience. Fine dining, in my view as an avid foodie, is built on human connection, hospitality, and personal interaction. Masks create a more impersonal, almost clinical atmosphere. In a well-ventilated space like this, the environmental risk does not seem to justify the visual and social trade-off. Rather than providing reassurance, the persistent masking may unintentionally signal that the environment is unsafe or that management is out of step with current provincial health guidelines, where masking is now a personal choice rather than a mandate. Final verdict: Food & Service: 5/5 Ambience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 -- as the current aesthetic feels more like a relic of 2020 than a leader in 2026 hospitality.

May be it's because we are all in "food coma" by the end of dinner! This visit was for dinner - and we were outside the door waiting even before they opened at 5:30. On a Tuesday. And we were already second in line. Celebrating a birthday, we had cold jellyfish starter, lobster fried e-fu mein, braised pomelo skin with seafood, and beef fried kai lan. The lobster was perfectly cooked. Even slight over-cooking can make the lobster meat tough. However, every piece was perfectly cooked. Including the large claws. Cooked with ginger and scallions, the lobster gravy coated each strand of e-fu noodles to umami yumminess. The braised pomelo skin was a special seasonal dish. I have not had this dish in many decades, and when I saw this in the special seasonal menu, I had to get it. The bittersweet braised pomelo skin complemented perfectly the fresh seafood, and topped a bed of Chinese spinach. It was the first time for the other members of my family and they literally sucked it all down. The beef with kai lan was another standout. Beef slices were tender and delicious and that perfectly complemented the well seared gai lan - great evidence of wok hei. Service is exemplary. Not just for a Chinese restaurant, but for any restaurant. The servers are constantly on the alert, and Everytime they see a plate filled with lobster shells, they would whip it away and replace it with a clean plate. They made sure that tea cups were filled and kept us updated with the delivery of the next dish. And at the end of the meal, dessert (Tong Shui) was complimentary... and they added a wonderfully light and flaky walnut cookie and piece of mochi for each of us.

    It's been a decade since we last had Alaskan King Crab, we wanted to go with a trusted restaurant…read moreso good old Sun Sui Wah is where we went. (Richmond is the location to be, we don't like the Vancouver location due to previous incident) We made a reservation two days before, and were immediately seated when we arrived. (11am for lunch). The place was maybe less than half full at the time, but was pretty full by the time we finished. The whole restaurant felt clean and comfortable. We were hoping for an 8 lb king crab (or less) as there were only five of us including two kids that ended up not really eating much of the crab (as expected), and the smallest they had was over 9 lbs, no big deal let's go! We had the king crab three way, garlic steamed for the legs, salt & pepper for the joints, and the rest was made into a fried rice. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, our cravings were truly satisfied. We also had several dim sum items for the kiddos, and they were happy with the quality (not pictured are BBQ pork bun, egg tarts, and XL). It was a pricey meal, but we were happy with getting our craving fixed.

We followed Google maps to the restaurant and found out the entrance was on the back side of the building so we moved our car.

The dim sum was good, they had a couple things I haven't seen in So Cal like Baked shredded radish so I had to give it a try - it was very good! If you plan on having leftovers, do what the locals do and bring your own container. Otherwise they charge you 50 cents for a takeaway box.

You can add noodles or rice, and we went with fried rice. There are also optional add on sauces: truffle or salted egg yolk. The rice was so good and was a very generous portion. The lobster was also cooked perfectly. We also got a scallop, morel, asparagus stir fry, which was a nice and light dish, also generously portioned.

And let me tell you, the dinner menu is every bit as much of a superstar as their famous dim sum spread. We started with their elegant truffle chicken, which came out like a work of art--shredded truffle and all. The fish dishes were equally impressive: a delicate stir-fried fillet with snow peas that was light yet flavorful, and a crispy, salty fish dish that had us all nodding in appreciation. Add in a glass noodle dish with cabbage that felt like a cozy hug, and a plate of garlicky greens to keep things balanced. And yes, someone slipped in a sweet and sour pork for that old-school comfort. The ambience was a notch above your typical Cantonese joint--think upscale decor and a lively, bustling dining room that still felt welcoming. And the service? Well, it came with a side of comedy. We had one waiter who was so gruff and hurried that he turned our group photo attempt into a running joke for the night. We ended up laughing about it and getting a nicer waitress to take a proper photo, but honestly, it just added to the charm. So if you're looking for a dinner spot that combines top-notch Cantonese flavors with a bit of unfiltered, authentic personality, Chef Tony's is your place. We'll definitely be back--maybe next time for the dim sum brunch!
