Steamed Rice Rolls
Annabelle G.

Tbh I love most every dimsum restaurant I go to but this one had some dishes I've never tried before and they were all delicious! 5/5 food - my favorite was the abalone dumpling 5/5 service - quick and accommodating 4/5 ambiance - typical Chinese restaurant vibes

Suckling Pig
Stephanie H.

We ordered a variety of items from Red Star Seafood Restaurant: the suckling pig, garlic abalone, honey garlic spareribs, crab meat w/seasonal vegetable, fried rice, and shark fin soup. The pork was not fresh. The honey pork ribs were the best item in terms of taste and flavor. Pricey, yet everything was just ok. Nothing really stood out in terms of taste or presentation. I wouldn't come back.

All of the food was super delicious and fresh! The quality was great & flavors were on point. The servers were really nice too - always refilling water, and cleaning up dishes. Me and my family got all of our food within 20 mins since we went on the 2nd day of chinese new year, so the servers gave us everything before the rush came in. Overall I would definitely go again!

Half duck
Emily L.

Amazing service. Kervin hosted me and my bf. He was just what we needed. He was attentive and sooooo hilarious. He got our order to a T and overall made our dining experience so much better. Half duck, Salt n pepper crab and chicken chow mein for the two of us. It was the perfect amount of food.

I am not sure if we came to an off time but the service was REALLY slow! The produce didn't taste that fresh the chicken had a "chicken taste" and the egg with crab had a strong seafood taste and not in a fresh way. It was just really average and nothing stood out to me. I know they have a strong following but I think I rather go to Kirin or Shanghai River.

Came here for dinner and everything was just mediocre. I had huge expectations since I'm from the states and I was always told Richmond has good Chinese food. Service was a little slow. Peking duck was dry and the abalone had too much garlic smeared on top. The beef was super chewy so if you're going to order that you should ask for a knife ahead of time.

Another weekend that called for dimsum. My dad had recommended Red Star for this outing and made the reservation. They are quite busy, so I'd suggest doing the same. Located on the second floor of the President Plaza, parking is ample and easily accesses the restaurant if you park on the second floor of the parkade. The quality of dimsum is good, but ordering it could be quite the exercise considering it was only in provided in chinese. I'd imagine they also had an english sheet, but that was not offered to us. Thankfully, there were multiple people at our table that could translate for us. Among the highlights were their rice rolls with hoisin and peanut sauce. The rice rolls were super soft and delicate. Other tasty dishes included the chicken feet, spareribs, and the har gow (shrimp dumplings). The har gow was flavourful beyond the typical ones with a more pronounced white pepper and sesame oil flavour. As a fan of both things, it made them extra delicious to me. I'll be returning and am looking forward to trying more items on the menu.

Red Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家 has two locations. This one is located in President Plaza across from Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. This place used to be good, but the food and service have gone downhill. We ordered a King Crab set dinner for a party of 10, and we also ordered additional dishes. We have to say it was pretty disappointing. A big disappointment was the House Chicken with Brown Bean Paste. The chicken was not tender, and it was real dry as cardboard. Food: Can Try! 3/5 Service: ‍‍‍3/5 Price: $50-$100 for two (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 5/5 Would I Return: Maybe Explore the menu: King Crab Set Dinner for 10 people, Golden Shrimps with Salted Egg Yolk and Rice Cakes Tips: * makes a reservation * can cater to large party

I am updating this review with an extra star for "Consistency" after coming here on a pretty regular basis, I am awarding this extra star for their consistent food quality & service!

Peking Duck Meat with Lettuce Wrap
Dominic Y.

Had dinner both nights at both Red Star Seafood Restaurants, took out on Granville Street and in-dinning at the Cambie Road Richmond location. Both venues served excellent meals of Peking duck, lobster, fried rice, BC Crab, Vegetarian and Pan Fried Black Cod Fish. Loved all the food served and friendly services at both locations. Highly recommended

Peking Duck
Sidney L.

Went for dinner last night for Peking Duck and it was a big disappointment. Pieces of skin and meat were dry. I have a feeling it was not freshly made. Even the wraps were bad. So thick and chewy. I have to say it was the worse that I've ever had. The second dish that they made out of the duck was lettuce wrap. That was just ok at best. Needed lots of hoisen sauce. Again it was dry. Ordered the Black Cod in soy sauce and it was also over cooked. The only thing that was ok was the Braised Beef. It was tender and juicy but my son didn't care for the mushroom gravy as it has a funny taste to him. So for $145 dinner, it was not worth it. I should have went to Kirin as that is usually my go to restaurant for dinner in Richmond when I come to visit. Also service was not that good either.

This bowl of century egg and pork congee was pretty good.

So mum wanted to show her appreciation for being her chauffeur taking her around to the doctors…read more She took me out for dimsum and with it being in Richmond there is a plethora of choices. 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.

My family have been coming here for well over 10 years - I don't know why it took me this long to…read moreget a review written. 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.

When we were in Vancouver, we just had to stop in Richmond (the 626 of Vancouver) to eat some…read moreChinese food. So we decided on Sun Sui Wah for dim sum. 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. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning, but the wait wasn't too long once we put our name down. No carts here, you order off the paper menu and they bring the food to you. 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.

We read the wait could be very long, but we were able to walk in at 6pm on a Thursday for a table…read moreof 4. The live seafood tanks had some impressive looking seafood, including giant hairy crabs. They had lots of live seafood specials, and we went for the lobster (3 lb). You can pick the preparation - I wanted the bifengtang style, but it's a little spicy, and we had the kids, so we did classic ginger scallion. 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. They were really nice to the kids and gave them some extra paper to draw on. We also finished with red bean soup and warm lava buns with runny salted egg yolk - so good. Their dimsum looked really good, so I wished we could have come for that - next time!

We dropped by Chef Tony's not for dim sum this time, but for a dinner that turned into a delightful adventure. 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!
