    避風塘炒蟹
    Chloe T.

    Delicious food and great service. I especially like their 避風塘炒蟹 (crab) and 涼瓜牛肉八角米粉. P.s. $6 for tea

    Southern Delicacy serves up popular Southern Chinese favourites, and then some. We decided to play it safe this time so just ordered oyster sauce chai siu bao, minced beef congee with fresh-made Chinese donut (oily), and also pan-fried scallop, shrimp and eggs on flat rice noodles. Truly not bad for the prices, comparable to most of Richmond's dim sum places. They do offer seafood and higher-end items to take your dining there to the next level. Good thing Chatime's right next door as a meal is not finished until boba has been devoured ^_^

    One-line review: Beautiful venue, pricier fare with mixed results. We visited here for the start of Chinese New Year, having noticed that it had recently opened. We ordered: -Taiwanese chicken appetizer (I liked this fine; fried well, not too oily. But my family thought it tasted 'powdery.') - Malaysian Curry crab (This was the hit of the evening. Beautifully cooked and displayed, succulent, and tasty. But NOT cheap -- see below.) - Wide rice noodles with chicken and satay sauce (This was the loser of the bunch. The chow fun style noodles were way overdone, to the point of being pasty, no texture at all. The supposed satay sauce didn't taste like any satay sauce I've ever had, and the chicken texture was... too soft. Overall, wouldn't ever order this one again.) - Pork and green bean (a bit salty, but tasty) - Chili pepper fish soup (This was good. The right amount of spice for our spice-loving family; fish was tender and soup was well-seasoned.) The big, unwelcome surprise: The delicious crab was quite a bit more expensive than we anticipated. Rookie mistake: we asked about the market pricing and they said $28.99, which we found remarkably economical. Turns out that that is the price /per pound/. Our overall bill for three, including tip, was right at $200 -- a bit high for what we got. I might have given four stars for most of the food and venue, but took off another star for value. You can tell that they're going for a finer dining experience here, but the service was mixed. It was Chinese New Year, but none of the staff wished us a Happy New Year. They never offered tea, and the first hot water they brought us wasn't hot. They didn't bring a crab cracker, crab forks, or plastic gloves for the crab until well-after we had started eating it. On the positive side, they repeatedly asked if we were enjoying our meal, cleared plates promptly, and generally seemed concerned that we were having a good experience. We really should have spoken up about the noodle dish and given them a chance to make it right; I'm guessing the request might have been well-received. On the whole, I'd rate the service adequate. We walked over, as the restaurant is right around the corner from us, but we heard that there was parking in the rear. Otherwise, you're at a meter on the street. Bottom line: Some delicious dishes if you order the right items, but there are some to avoid, and no matter how you slice it, this is not a value pick.

    This place is pretty good. We love every dish we had here. They made the lobster noodle I wanted for me. The pork in guava sauce is surprising great even for my Chinese tongue. It is swim in mayo though but the flavor is still wonderful

    The Crab

    A must try if you are in Vancouver, recommended by a local friend, reservation is highly recommended even on a weekday, they have a few fusion Chinese dishes that you will not find in other places, the crab was excellent, the fish was moist and delicate, the chicken wing was a bomb, must have as appetizer. Prices are very fair, waiters were very attentive. I had an excellent experience and will definitely come back the next time I visit.

    Eggplant with minced pork
    Em C.

    I learned to stay away from whatever the waitress/waitor recommended that had special deal, so I had a pleasant experience. The food is decently portioned, we ordered 3 dishes and have the portion is good for 3 people. Flabourful but not too salty, I didn't feel super thirsty after the meal. I like the eggplant with minced pork, with little kick of spiciness. This dish is not easy to make at home because it requires a lot of oil. They did a good job. The XO sauce Beef is tender and I like how it's paired with quite some veggie. The yangzhou fried rice is just so so, I would just go with white rice next time. $32-38/person with tax and tips.It's on the pricier side but worth it once in a while. Always better to go in groups of 3 or 4 people for Chinese restaurant to get good variety and you don't have to worry about leftovers.

    Beef congee, HK style
    Chantelle C.

    Super impressed with the quality, how fast food was cooked, and portion sizes. It's the best place for noodle soup or congee in Kerrisdale. We liked it more than Cafe Gloucester (which is also good!), and used to haunt congee noodle house a lot before it closed. Highly recommend. Also a beautiful setting. They took our contact information for COVID contact tracing and lots of room to space out.

    It's a Gem in the neighbourhood ! I'm so glad that this new restaurant is opened as the old one is just "meh". The ambience is nice and the colour matches very well. Tried a few different dishes and all of them taste great. Have been there for lunch and dinner as I live nearby (walking distance in Kerrisdale). There's free parking available on the street and also free parking behind the building as well. Lunch menu was reasonable , tastes delicious and good portion too. I luv their BBQ duck noodles and their BBQ pork + fry egg in hot stone rice bowl is my boy's favourite. There's a large variety of dishes in the menu. Tried a few and like all of it (refer to pictures); my favs are the deep fried wings with salty egg yolk, braised chicken pot (spicy), and sautéed crab with spicy pepper and rock salt) Perhaps I'm luckier than the other guy who reviewed because none of the dishes disappoint me. Service is also great. Waitress is attentive and keep changing plates for our table. The only thing that I can pick on is that they only serve cold / hot water there, not Chinese tea. But they didn't charge for tea where some dim sum restaurants will charge for tea per head. So it's fair, but it will be awesome if free tea can be offer. I've posted some menu pictures. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. A note: seafood price is base on "per pound". So I do not understand why the other guy who reviewed was so shocked when the bill came. Seafood itself is already expensive, especially fresh ones; of course it totally makes sense that the bill will be higher than just a causal dinner.

You order and they make it in front of you and you head over to grab your tempura or sides and then you head off to the till to pay. It is a very efficient system. The place is clean and has a good amount of seating. I highly recommend coming here for lunch. They also have late night special for those partying out late and are hungry.

It does remind me of the udon I've had Japan. They could be a little more generous on the green onions, but that's just my personal preference! Service: It kind of feels like a cafeteria, and like I previously mentioned it's similar to what I've had in Japan. It's really quick and efficient which is nice. Ambiance: Casual, and clean as well. Not too loud. But definitely better than a fast food place. For this kind of place, it's as good as it gets. 4 stars - extremely solid and reliable place, it's just not a 5 stars for me because it doesn't blow my mind or anything.

    Stopped by Maruhachi on a Saturday lunchtime after our long commute from Seattle. this restaurant…read moreis tucked in a corner not too far from the main Robson street. Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

The gentleman (owner?) greeted us and provided us with some suggestions on their best sellers. During our dining experience, he was a little loud with shouting instructions to the kitchen and we did feel a bit rushed to finish our meal and not occupy the table with diners lining up. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the noodles were prepared well (good texture and not soggy) and the soup had a slight but not overwhelm sour taste from the preserved vegetables. The beef wasn't as tender as it could be, but it wasn't chewy or tough to eat. Prices are reasonable at around $20 after tax and tips. While it wasn't the best or most authentic beef noodle soup I've had, it does hit the spot if I'm craving Taiwanese food downtown or want a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold day.

I think most people do that so it also gets filled up during the lunch hour rush. The food is ok, nothing special. The price increase makes it even less appealing. I don't know why there is chili in my Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I don't like spicy soup. Lucky I am ok with spice but I wish it is stated in the menu? So if you cannot take spicy food, check with them before ordering. The beef noodle soup is tasty as I do like the addition of pickled vegetables in it, giving a bit of tartness. The beef is tender though the quantity is very little. More noodles than meat ratio. The combo is totally not worth it now that the price has gone up to about $13. If you want rice and noodle for lunch, I think Peaceful Restaurant across the street is a better bet. At least the portion is bigger.

Decent portion of meat, at least 3-4 large slices of Vietnamese ham and goor amount of beef slices. The noodles were SUPER undercooked! Good portion of bean sprouts, and came with 1 wedge of lime. Beef Brisket and Beef Ball in Noodle Soup (Large $17.62) - again, VERY bland broth. The noodles also tasted sort of like freezer burn? Decent portion of meat and filling enough. Just had to douse in Siracha and oyster sauce to finish the bowl though... Pork Spring Rolls ($10.48) - flavour was decent, nothing special. Deep fried okay as well. No complaints here but no endorsement either. There's no music in the restaurant either so it's a tad awkward. Staff are friendly. Lots of seating, including a patio area.
