For a stand at the food court of a mall, this is pretty good. I ordered a Xiao long bao and a soy milk from here. The Xiao long bao are in the steamer baskets, so at least it looks authentic. The skin of the dumpling was a little on the thicker side, but it has a good amount of soup inside. The vinegar that they give didn't have ginger, which was a bit odd. Had to eat this fast to prevent the skin from getting hard and inedible. The soy milk was pretty standard and was an escape from the hot dumplings. Overall, this place is pretty good for the price, but definitely not wowed by it!

I decided to swing by Aberdeen Center for lunch during a layover and we figured it would a good place for a nice snack. The xiao long bao was delicious and fully of broth! The skin was a little thick but other than that it was worth it. I'd get other food from here next time!

XLB, six to an order. Just left airport and decided on visiting the Aberdeen centre mall for some snacking. Want real real good food court food, come here for the XLB, saw a person making this from scratch, so that instantly sold me.

Steamed pork buns

Get the steamed pork buns!! A shopping mall food court with made to order buns/dumplings?! They call them buns here (maybe cause they're huge) but they're basically soup dumplings/XLB. Much bigger than your regular soup dumplings, juicy and delicious. The skin is thick and cooked perfectly. You can see the chefs preparing them freshly made to order. I got the combo b, came with 6 'buns', a bowl of curry beef vermicelli noodle soup and a soda. The noodles were veryyyy underwhelming. Just tasted like water with salt and curry powder. The beef was good though and you can't go wrong with clear vermicelli noodles. I would come back here just for the buns. Worth the $7.

5 pan fried pork buns for $9.20. Very juicy Would recommend for a quick snack or to share.

One thing I love about the food courts in Richmond, they are all usually pretty good! I tried this one as it is a bit newer to me and located in Aberdeen Mall. The soup dumplings here were good and what's nice is that it comes out quick! One thing about these dumplings is that the outer shell is a bit thicker fan what I'm used too, but never less gave me the soup dumpling craving satisfaction.

Fried pork buns

WOW! I would give 10 stars if I could. We passed by for an afternoon snack after shopping and didn't expect the buns to be that amazing. The buns were freshly fried so the top was warm and soft while the bottom was perfectly crisp. What really stood out was their juicyness, there was soup coming out of each bite.

Curry beef vermicelli soup

Visited: Apr 25 2019 This is a relatively new food court stall at Aberdeen centre. I saw a lot of patrons were eating their Xiaolongbao (XLBs) and pan fried pork buns or shengjian bao (生煎包) and figured they must be good. I ordered the combo with the curry beef vermicelli with the pan fried pork buns (5). I have to say the pan fried pork buns pleasantly surprised me! They are just a notch below the best that I've had in Vancouver (which is Top Shanghai on Ackroyd Road IMHO). The pastry was tasty and the bottom is perfectly crispy. There weren't a lot of soup inside but at least there were some. The pork filling was good, albeit small compared to the size of the bun. The curry beef vermicelli soup was just okay, a little bit bland and underwhelming. I am actually quite impressed with shengjian bao so I will definitely try their XLBs next time for comparison. Ordered: Curry beef vermicelli + pan fried pork buns combo with can of pop - $13 (ish)

Best shanghai food court food ever. It's authentic!!!. I should know I'm shanghainese and this taste like what it would taste like at home.

Located in Aberdeen Centre food court, this is a solid option for some xiao long bao aka soup dumplings. Dumplings had a good amount of soup, and the dumpling skin was the perfect thickness to contain the soup without breaking. Pork filling was seasoned well. Service was fast.

Perfectly fried on the bottom
Emme P.

Really convenient and delicious Shanghai style buns and other dishes. So far I've had the pan fried pork dumplings- favorite. They are very juicy so be careful when consuming. The soy sauce duck is pretty good too. One of my favorite stalls in the food court

"Burned" pan fried pork steamed buns
Chop S.

Newly opened in Aberdeen Center food court, and we tried their "pan fried pork steamed buns". Unfortunately it was the worst that we've ever tasted. There were close to no soup inside the bun (1/3 tea spoon of soup maybe), and the bottom of the buns were all burned!! See one of the picture "Burned" pan fried pork steam buns.

Having tried a lot of dim sum spots, I have to admit Kirin would easily rank as one of the Top 3…read morethat I've ever had... the only con? 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!

Made reservations for dinner at 5. We were the first ones there…read more I really wanted to have dim sum there. 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.

My friend and I did a day trip to BC from the US and this was our last stop (other than Molly tea…read more:)). We don't have a reservation and there was an hour wait. We decided to give it a try and that was a very smart decision! We were seated within 30min and the service was excellent from there on. The wait staff was attentive and always were checking on us and making sure the broth was the correct temperature, the meat was replenished, and drinks were refilled. The selection of fresh food was impressive. This was my first hot pot and my friends 2nd. The bar has been set high as my friend said this selection was much more impressive that her first hot pot experience. They had a sizable dessert selection as well as various noodle options. Also hala meats and broth which was amazing! I got the beef broth which comes out white because it's from the bone marrow and hala. My friend ordered the vegan tomato broth which was very rich and had a tomato soup consistency. We added water which made it more of a broth and still kept the flavor. I got the beef flatiron which was the perfect texture and the most popular cut. I highly recommend this place. Make sure to make a reservation and get the ice cream that is offered at the end of the meal. It's 10/10

We enjoyed the food, although my friend and I preferred to order on a tablet like the Burnaby…read morelocation but that was fine. Service was good and prompt until the end. We paid our bills and was finishing up our ice cream when the server came up and asked multiple times if we have paid. We informed him that we did and he hovered over our table insinuating that we were trying to skip our on our bills. It was very bizarre as he was the one who took our payment and we assumed he can see that the meals have been paid on his tablet. It was a very unconfortable experience and ruined our evening.

Hubby and I were looking to have King Crab during our trip to Vancouver…read more One day when we were out and about in Richmond we came across this place. 趙小姐 is very friendly and informative when we inquired on the king crab who also helped us made an reservation for that evening.

Absolutely positively amazing dim sum…read more * * * Vancouver and Richmond have so many extraordinary dim sum restaurants that the various "Best Of" Lists identify a huge number of potential "Best Dim Sum in Vancouver" candidates. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Dim Sum in Vancouver is simply on a higher level. * * * The largest concentration of utterly amazing places are in Richmond rather than Vancouver itself ... Although Vancouver has hundreds and hundreds of places to die for. So to say Richmond offers better choices than Vancouver is something you have to experience yourself to understand. Just go to Richmond and walk in anywhere. We have done a lot of that in past trips and we did a lot of that this trip. It is food orgasm every time. * * * Chef Tony's shows up on a lot of Best of Vancouver lists as do many many other places. If this place were in my home city, Austin, or even in San Francisco, there would be lines out the door. It is a smallish place with an overwhelmingly Chinese older clientele. When we were there, the World Cup Final was on with Spain playing Argentina. Half the tables - generally men - were watching. The elderly ladies at the other tables had their back to the TV and were continuing their conversation. * * * This is an order by menu place rather than take your chances on the carts. Given Chef Tony's small size, there would be unacceptable wastage on a rotating cart system. Frankly, Chef Tony's turned me into a convert on the order-exactly-what-you-want system. Seeing carts that look good, stuffing your face and then seeing the carts you really want is an all-too-common experience in dim sum places. * * * Everything we had was to die for. There is no sense in writing a gushy description of how good each plate was because the text would be the same. !!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGG THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So if you want a full description, load this review into a word processing program. Cut and paste !!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGG THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! after every food item. ************* The Keys to the Kingdom of Dim Sum Heaven: 1) Fish Slices with Rice Noodle. 2) Pumpkin Chestnut Cake 3) Choy Sum with Tofu Enjera and Goji Berries. 4) Diced Beef with Green Pepper. 5) Rice Noodles with both Mustard Dip and Soy Dip 6) Ginger Soft Cake Note that only Item # 1 the Fish Slices were served as a traditional dumpling. We didn't care. We were passed out in culinary bliss. **************** I only listed a small percentage of what is on Chef Tony's substantial menu. When do I want to go back? IMMMMM-MEDIATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooo good! This place is right next to the Canadian Superstore, access their small dining area on…read morethe parking garage side. Cozy, but with enough seating if you want to eat in. Bring cash! We were served promptly, and attended to, never had less than a half cup of tea. We came by for a late lunch and loved everything we got. Ordered the soya chicken, bbq pork and roasted pork combo, the bbq pork and roasted pork combo, a soup and veggies. The soup was a light broth filled with vegetables and shredded pork. Gailan was soft and easy to bite into. The soya chicken was topped with a scallion ginger oil. The roast pork was so crunchy and the bbq pork delicious. Popular place, line for take out was out the door.

Stopped by as we were visiting from out of town and had friends recommend HK BBQ Master…read more The restaurant is nothing flashy. 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.
