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
Mario N.

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.

It was recently renovated and looks like an upscaled Chinese restaurant. I don't know if it was the symphony-like music they were playing but it seemed quieter than most Chinese restaurants that I've been to even though it was full. The staff were very attentive. There was a good variety of food in the menu. The food we ordered was hot and yummy.

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.

Good was great, remember the eggplant was a bit dry but overall you won't be too disappointed. Was slightly pricy for dinner.

All I can say is that everything at this restaurant was on point…read more Unfortunately, there was horrible traffic (due to the Marathon closures), and we were 1/2 hour late! But the wonderful hostess accommodated us, and I am so glad that she did! I cannot remember everything that we ate, but I know we got pork belly, dumplings, and duck rice cakes. OMG - everything was perfectly and authentically prepared! The wait staff was wonderful and so helpful with ordering and suggestions for eating. What a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to go back to Vancouver and eat at Bao Bei AGAIN!!

I would rate the 2.5 stars out of 5. We had a reservation…read morefor 6pm , soon after we arrived the restaurant packed up quickly. Almost all the tables were full. They have a selection of snacks and small plates.tapas style and meant for sharing. We ordered a couple of item, they came one by one about 10 minutes apart. The dishes would have tasted so much better if they had came all together. The kitchen couldn't keep up with all the orders. We sat right front of the kitchen where you can see through. The dishes were coming out very slowly. Mautou The short ribs were overcooked and kinda tough to chew. The daikon radish on it was delicious. The plate was sitting for a while so it was not very hot when we got it Dumpling Steamed prawn and scallop dumpling. It was nice and hot. Filling was very good. The wrapper was horrible, it tastes like the cheap super market kind. Sablefish Delicious. Very soft . Didn't feel very Asian . More French style Pea shots Highly recommend by the server. The vegetables was very old and half of it was tough to chew. The tips were edible. It was also sitting for a while before we received it. It was not hot. Barely warm Not very impressed with this place. It's probably the most expensive and worst tasting Chinese food we had. Was not satisfied
