Validate in the restaurant by the host when you check in by punch in your plate number. We walked 23minutes from jw parq Marriott hotel since no rain today. Fresh air and more room for your tummy. I made a reservation yesterday via their website for today lunch at 11:30. We got there early at 11am, they sat us right away. Yesterday which was Sunday the line wrapped around the building, so crazy. Restroom: men and women restrooms. They have small tables for 4 as well as table for 10, and also private room. We ordered: Chicken feet Bbq pork bun with crispy layer Chill tofu w preserved eggs and pork floss Minced pork congee w preserved egg Pan fried squash cake w red bean filling Crispy prawn rice roll Stir fry pea shoots with garlic Crystantimun tea Overall food is very good.

Most Googled HK BBQ spot in Richmond... so you know I had to pull up…read more HK BBQ Master Ordered everything to-go and went all in: 3-meat over rice (duck, soy chicken, char siu) 2-meat over rice (roasted pork + char siu) First things first--ASK FOR EXTRA ginger scallion oil. Trust me. That sauce alone elevates everything Crispy pork, juicy duck, sweet-savory char siu... solid across the board. Nothing fancy, but it hits the spot every time. And honestly? Pretty impressive for a spot tucked inside a parking garage Cash only--bring paper money, leave the plastic at home Worth the hype Generous portions Easy go-to for a quick HK BBQ fix

The BBQ pork here is a step change better than most. It's succulent, tender, savoury, and ever so sweet. The chicken and duck were good too, but not in the same "step change" way (and I personally found the bones and it's fragments annoying to eat around). Great, friendly service, but the temperature of my food was lukewarm to cool suggesting it wasn't all that fresh. Regardless, this place is certainly worth a try!

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.

Van tea has been my family's go-to restaurant, particularly for breakfast. Lately i find that the…read morequality varies depending on the day of the week that you visit. Not sure if it has been the same chef/cook on Saturdays during breakfast and lunch time but the food hasn't been as tasty when compared to weekdays. Today we went for a family lunch gathering on a Saturday and the restaurant was jam packed. Not sure if this was also a factor but every single dish we ordered was so greasy. We also noticed that the portion wasn't as big as what we usually received on weekdays. The complementary soup that came was lukewarm so that was already one point off. The dishes when served were not presented nicely. For example, there was food hanging off the plate and pot (they eventually fell to floor) or spilled sauce on the table. Even my favorite dish stir fried beef rice noodles was just mediocre today. We ordered 6 dishes and every single dish was salty and greasy. It really felt like they were made in haste. It was overall a disappointment and I don't think I'd want to visit the restaurant on a Saturday again.

Found abt the lobster special and had to go…read more Honest to goodness Chinese food, i tell you! Got a few things to go with the lobster special and it did not fail me. The dessert at the end was a surprise. Expecting red bean soup but got a Chinese jello instead. Prawns were amazing too. Salted egg flavour and sweet and sour pork had wok hei! Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers! Happy eating!

An entree comes with soup of the day and we got cream of mushroom soup. Drinks we got lemon iced tea and were made perfectly and refreshing. We got the sizzling plate chicken steak with black pepper sauce and pasta. Had two pieces of chicken with a crispy skin on top of grilled onions and vegetables. Black pepper sauce was more on the garlic sauce side but went well with chicken. The baked pork chop and prawns came half and half with red sauce and a white creamy cause for the prawns. The sauces were flavorful and had aromatics from actual slices of tomatoes and onions. Would prefer more of a broiled cheese on top.

There was a dish cart full of dirty dishes in the center of the dining room piled high. Throughout my dining, it remained. We had multiple breakfast dishes, from congee, rice rolls, macaroni in soup to French toast, they all fell below our expectations. The foods took long to serve but the food temperature was just warm.

Portion sizes and price point felt standard for Richmond. I thought it was cute that they also put the teapots on a candle stand to keep it warm. For 5 people, the total cost with tip was around $40 per person. Unfortunately, the only thing that fell short was the long wait we had to endure despite having made a reservation. We booked a reservation for 12:45pm, but because of the overwhelming weekend rush, we were not sat until 1:30pm. I understand that the restaurant was quite busy, but it certainly made the experience a little less enjoyable. There were also lots of people waiting in the area and the hostess found it hard to identify which groups were waiting and which had already checked in. I'm not sure if I'd return as there are so many other great dimsum places in Richmond that may not cost as much of a wait.

They also give you free hot tea, which is always a huge plus and sets the tone right away. I ordered the beef and shrimp rice noodle roll along with the Hong Kong style milk tea. The rice roll was honestly perfect. Super smooth, delicate texture, great balance of beef and shrimp, and seasoned exactly how it should be. I genuinely cannot think of anything they could have done better with it. It tasted just like what you would expect from a proper Cantonese spot. The Hong Kong style milk tea was hot and strong. Definitely more on the bold side, so if you like that deep tea flavor, you will love it. It paired really well with the rice rolls. Service was fast and everyone was very friendly, which made the experience even better. This is one of those places you come to when you want something authentic, comforting, and done right. I would absolutely come back and order the same thing again.
