As good as they say! Definitely recommend their pan fried dumpling and spicy wontons - not too spicy but so flavourful and great texture. Friendly staff happy to make recommendations, cash only but they take e transfer! Very busy food court, parking out back, expect a bit of a wait for food and a table. Honestly took me on a trip with the vibe though!

soup with large wontons, and xiaolongbao
Tony J.

Shanghainese food stall in the Admiralty Centre food court. It's a decent sized food court that is a bit hidden away, since the car entrance is on McKim Way rather than outside on Garden City. Food court was busy on a weekday lunch hour. Lao Wei Dao wasn't the busiest stall there but getting some business. This stall has electronic beepers that ring and vibrate when the food is ready. They have a special combo for each weekday. The one I got had a serving of 6 xiaolongbao combined with a bowl of wonton soup. Total was $14. Took about 10-15 min for the food. There were six xiaolongbao in the serving, each on the larger side for xlb. Good broth and filling inside. Not the thinnest wrap but pretty solid. I've definitely had worse xiaolongbao at a restaurant. The wonton soup was good too. It's large wontons filled with pork and a darker leafy vegetable. Tasted like a 50-50 meat to veg ratio, and was tasty. Overall, tasty Shanghainese food for a low price.

Choose three combos
Gord K.

The Xiao long bao were very good, very juicy and on the larger size with a nicely seasoned filling and no porky taste. The pan fried dumplings were freshly made juicy and nice and crunchy. The beef foll was in a crunchy fresh made roti with cucumber and hoisin but a bit too salty. The combo deals are a great deal often combined with a wonton soup filled with wontons. Definitely one of the better xlb available in Vancouver. The service is very friendly and welcoming. Bit out of the way in an upstairs food court, but worth finding. I don't often give five stars but the xlb and fried dumplings were very good. Food court atmosphere so not fine dining.

Beef noodle soup
Angelica A.

Was so sad that Long's Noodle House closed down because of the fire next door and only found out more than a year later where the owner's wife moved. Located in the food court at Admiralty Mall in Richmond with ample parking in and around the building has similar vibes as the Crystal Mall food court but less busy and smaller. Finding a table might be quite difficult during meal times as they don't have a lot of seating available. Of course I ordered XLB and Beef Noodle Soup -- the XLB tasted the similar to Long's while the Beef noodle soup was different but still delicious. Will be back here again and I look forward to trying their other dishes as well as the other food stalls that seem to be really popular.

Menu 6.1.24

I came by this little food court to pick me up some mango mochi from a neighboring vendor. Shanghai Lao Wei Dao was one of the only eateries open past 3 on a weekend in the food court, so we ordered noodles from here and they turned out to be fantastic. I'd come back. There is a whole lot to choose from if you decide to eat here. They have a bunch of different noodle soup combinations and different kinds of dumplings. This is quintessential Chinese comfort food here and it did not disappoint. I got the pork chop braised in sauce noodle soup for like $10 USD. It was a perfect amount of food. The soup was dark and flavorful. The choy sum on top added the perfect amount of crunch and freshness. It was great, actually, I can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. The lady working the register was surprisingly very nice. They're cash only, so make sure you bring cash. The tables are shared with the other vendors, and there is a guy who comes by to clean off the tables. He's very nice too. If I lived in Vancouver, I'd be here all the time. Don't be intimidated! Everyone is so nice here!

xiao long bao
Shelyn W.

I came back to this spot 3(!!) times in 2 weeks after my friend first recommended them to me. My favorite items to order were the 小笼包 (xiao long bao) and 生煎包 (sheng jian bao). Both were filled with so much flavorful broth. Seriously, you have to be careful eating these or it can spill everywhere! The broth was so clear but extremely fragrant, while the pork itself was very juicy. The lady in the front (owner?) was also the sweetest. In my third visit, she remembered and greeted me with a friendly smile. I would definitely keep coming back to this little shop inside Admiralty Centre food court!

Can you see so oil in greece

Don't waste your money. It's gotta be the worst Shanghai restaurant. I've ever been to horrible very oily. Do not recommend anything for anybody. The only reason we went there because somebody posted was the 5 star Shanghai restaurant. It must be a joke.

Spicy Beef Noodles and Pan Fried Dumplings

This place was less than 10mins from the Vancouver airport, so we stopped by to have a meal after a long day of traveling. We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodles, Pan Fried Dumplings and Spicy Wantons. Each dish was absolutely delicious! We were blown away by the amount of flavor and couldn't get enough. We loved it so much that we made sure to make time before our flight out of Vancouver so we can stop by one my time. The people working were so pleasant. We took a chance and struck gold with this place!

XLB which is Xiao Long Bao, containing ground pork and it's broth, Chinese donuts and Mini Wonton Soup

Went to the Admiralty Food Court which is located on the second floor at 8700 McKim Way to test out Kam Ho's Food Stall Iced Lemon Tea. It was a real April Fool's Day for me because Kam Ho's Food Stall is closed till May 12 since March 30th. The food court looks clean and tidy. It's not a big food court, only 8 food stalls. What a disappointment for me. So went around and checked out the other food stalls. I ended up at the Shanghai Lao Wei Dao that has a daily special for $15 to $17.50 combo. Today is Tuesday, so I got the mini wonton soup and a basket of 5 steamed soup dumpling for $15 and I ordered one Chinese Donut $3. The total came up to $19.75 with a can of $1.75 Coke. The steamed soup dumpling has tasty ground pork inside with a lot of broth. To enhance the flavour and taste of the XLB, add vinegar and the brown sauce in it after sucking up the broth. The mini wonton soup was a little bland, like it has been watered down so I added some of the brown sauce and vinegar from the counter to give it a more tasty flavour. They had added many mini wontons which I think is a lot of wasted labour, because they could have made bigger wontons and just make 6 for each serving. The donut was crispy, it was good but not as good as the Chinese Baoxi Master. The lady cashier was pleasantly nice and smiley.

You'll want to make a reservation WEEKS in advance and hope for the best! Our group ordered so many delicious items, and some standouts were: Shrimp Har Gao: These were crisp and tasty, with a skin that was the appropriate thickness - and of course had enough slip to it. Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too! I love eggplant, especially the stuffed ones. The sauce paired very well and was simply satisfying. Mushroom Noodles: This was honestly a hot mess and hot miss. It tasted very bland like airplane food... highly recommend not ordering this! Cheung Fun - The rice noodle was crisp and very satisfying. Whether an oil stick or protein, highly recommend this one. What's nice is eating here was very relaxing late in the afternoon. The overall ambiance is spacious and quiet enough for conversation. Either we got lucky missing out on the liveliness, or all the aunties with tea left before we arrived. Overall, I could see myself coming back for the dim sum... but have a little more reservation (no pun intended) when trying their lunch items.

Was able to try more dishes since we came as a larger group. Everything was great. Service is also top notch. Staff is very professional and attentive. Highly recommend calling in advance and making a reservation. Seems like if you walk in and don't have one, you're taking a chance - especially during the busy lunch time. Worth a visit if you're in town - plan ahead!

It is small and quaint with some of the smaller combined tables having plastic dividers separating the diners. I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

The Fish Man lived up to the hype. Reservations are helpful because the restaurant was packed, and…read morewe still waited about 5-10 minutes after arriving. We found street parking, though there appeared to be a few spaces behind the restaurant if you're lucky enough to snag one. The ambiance is bright and lively, but people are definitely here for the food. Service was friendly and efficient, with servers, runners, and other staff constantly refilling water and clearing tables. We started with the scallops and vermicelli. They came with plenty of garlic, but the scallops were somewhat overcooked and tougher than I prefer--about three stars for that dish. The mala hotpot with lingcod was the star of the meal, with a wonderful balance of tongue-numbing spice, deep flavor, fish, and vegetables. The clams were equally delicious, served in a sweet and spicy sauce that was so good I kept stopping the staff from clearing the plate so I could spoon more of it over my white rice. The yu choy with garlic sauce had an excellent crunch and plenty of flavor, making it a great vegetable dish to balance the meal. The Coedo Yuzu beer paired beautifully with the spicy food and had a pleasantly sweet, citrusy taste. An excellent meal overall and absolutely worth the visit. Enjoy!

This is the place to come to have northern Chinese style seafood, especially fish. You choose from hotpot, soup, or steamed fish and get tons of fresh choices. You can choose for the hotpot the soup, weight of fish, veggies, spiciness level, and other adjustments. It is HUGE! We chose the nonspicy soup, with package of tofu skin, lotus root, seaweed knots. The fish is pretty good. Good flavour - though I have to admit I'm not one to try the spicy, but don't worry the soy no spicy flavour is still pretty flavourful. I got some rice to go with it and I definitely recommend something to go otherwise it's pretty soupy. The other dishes were reflective of a very high quality place. - cucumber salad was excellent. I loved the peanuts in there to contrast. - I LOVED the Morel mushroom and tofu. It was amazing. The morel... wow. So succulent. Brown sauce has great balance too. - I really liked the fried rice. It's spam I think and really hits the spot. Not salty, seems just light enough. The service was excellent too. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

We ordered the soup with the expectation that it would be in some medium-sized bowl that the two of us can easily share. The soup actually was giant and is meant for a family. Luckily, it was absolutely delicious; the pork was super tender, the egg fits in perfectly, and the broth was tasty. Every drop was finished. The braised pork belly was also delicious. Tender and fatty, I wished there was so much more sauce for the rice to soak in. I'm also a super fan of pork floss, so loved its inclusion. The side is also noteworthy. The radish soup was so flavorful yet light, and the tofu was fantastic. Everything we ate was five stars on its own. Only panic was when paying our server said they only accept cash or debit? I only had credit cards and American money, but in the end, she was able to use my credit card. Not sure what that was about.

Not sure why that's not an option. Definitely a missed opportunity for the business imho. Oh... and the kimchi was a bit weird with the fact that it's overly sweet. Overall, good value and good food. Service depends on who you get. 3.5 stars

I heard all the great stuff about it, but unfortunately they don't serve dim sum for dinner. So they handed me an iPad to check out their dinner menu. Everything looked so good. My hubby ordered three items and white rice, I ordered one dish and white rice. They give us hot tea of our choice. I think our eyes were bigger than our tummies. We had so much food left. So we took it back to the hotel. Hopefully we will be allowed to bring on plane.. I love trying different Chinese places based on people's reviews, and one of my friends telling me that she liked this place. The dinner menu was difficult to decide what to get. Did I mention the food was sooo good!!!!

I read about Yue Restaurant being one of the most reliable and enjoyable dim sum spots in Richmond…read more(old school traditional style) but unfortunately, they do not serve Dim Sum in the evening. Nevertheless, we were glad we tried their dinner. When you tried to do research on the restaurant and could not find any menu or proper working link, you will realize this place emphasizes on words of mouth rather than Online Marketing. I did not find a single non-Chinese customers when we were there and this place was packed! The dining room is bright, clean, and spacious, and even when the restaurant is busy, the atmosphere feels lively rather than chaotic. The staff works hard to keep things moving, and service is friendly and efficient. The food is the real highlight. Everything arrives beautifully prepared, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Their Wagyu beef cubes is a MUST-HAVE. Its the best Wagyu beef I have tasted! We also ordered their Peking Duck. It's not the best I have tried but definitely above average. This order comes in 2 dishes. You wrap the duck skin with thin crepe, and the 2nd dish is basically the diced duck meat wrapped in lettuce. We balanced the protein with Tofu/Broccoli/Mushroom dish. We also ordered Yangzhou fried rice. These dishes alone kept 5 hungry adults satisfied. We struggled to finish every scrap! Yue Restaurant is an excellent choice for groups, families, and anyone craving high‑quality Cantonese cuisine. With great variety, solid execution, and a comfortable dining space, it's easy to see why this place is so popular.

Love this place! Despite the limited menu, each item was spot on…read more I had the beef congee, shrimp rice rolls, and donut rice rolls and popcorn chicken. Every was very good. Prices are like food court prices but restaurant quality level. The only thing that needs to be improved is service. For Sunday lunch time service, only 1 server was working the till, taking and serving orders, and grabbing the check. Everything slowed down considerably. You had to get your own napkins, sauce dishes, sauces, chili oil etc. so had to take 1 star away. But the quality of the food was enough to make it a 4 star review. The rice rolls were of the perfect texture. Generous servings too. The popcorn chicken was salty and savoury with friend basil As well. Very nice touch. I would repeat. Cheers! Happy eating!

The cold noodle fen pi was really good. Perfect amount of vinegar and savory. I wish there were more vegetables, so I'm not eating noodles 90% of the time. I would come back for the rice noodle and cold noodle and maybe try their congee next time.

Parking is free and plentiful in the morning (if you come later in the day, it'll likely be full due to the sharing of the plaza by several other restaurants).
