Our favourites were the rice rolls (shrimp, beef, and chinese donut), eggplant with shrimp, and chicken feet. We were pleasantly surprised with the egg tarts, which came out fresh, crispy and warm. One gripe I had was with the bean curd roll with mushroom and pork, which we ordered for someone with a seafood allergy. We ordered this twice and the first time there were no issues, but the second one came with shrimp inside. This was most likely an accident as the one we ordered isn't supposed to contain shrimp, but there is another one on the menu that does. The mango pudding also tasted a bit strange and had a weird texture compared to other dimsum places. Overall, we had a good time here, and would come back for their dimsum and rice rolls.

Very good dim sum!…read more Ordered: Siu Mai: Excellent. Comes with five (!!) pieces and was succulent and juicy, topped with fish roe. Cha siu bao: Average. The meat was not lean enough but the flavor was standard. Egg tart: Excellent. The egg custard was much less sweet than I was accustomed to but was pleasant. The pastry portion was light and crispy. Shrimp and chive dumpling: Good. Packed with chives and shrimp with a light garlic flavor. Seared on both sides. Salt and pepper squid: Excellent. Easily the standout of the meal and was garnished with garlic and peppers! Ambiance was loud as usual for a dim sum restaurant. Service was quick attentive but I was disappointed that there was no house made chili. Overall a very decent dim sum experience.

The food court itself is full of different Asian cuisines, and this stall definitely stands out. They offer a wide variety of Shanghai-style dim sum, including dumplings, wontons, rice cake, several meat noodle soups, and some combo rice dishes. I ordered the Sichuan Style beef noodle soup, and it was surprisingly delicious and spicy -- the broth was flavorful, and the beef was incredibly tender. Even though it's just a small food court stall, the quality of the dishes makes it worth a visit. If you're already exploring Crystal Mall or craving some quick and tasty Shanghai-style snacks, this place is a solid choice.

Tastier higher end Cantonese restaurant on Kingsway, near Gilley…read more Parking is available in the lot behind the building, as well as the side streets. There are also metered spots along Kingsway. The place is on the more upscale side. Definitely a suitable venue for events such as weddings. In fact, there was one being held when my friends and I went to eat. Staff are friendly and professional. No complaints. Dishes are typical of other Cantonese seafood restaurants. One thing I really liked about this place is that they don't just down the food in sauce. Diced chicken with cashew - good flavour and nice mix of ingredients. Cashews added a nice crunch. Sweet & sour pork - once again, nice mix of ingredients. Food wasn't served in a pool of sauce. Special mention. Seafood fried rice - nice and fluffy, and not greasy. Great flavour. For dessert, they offered complimentary almond cookies and red bean dessert. Both were tasty. Red bean dessert wasn't overly sweet, which is nice. Pricing is definitely more than the casual places. Portions are also a bit smaller. This reflects the nicer atmosphere. Overall a good place to enjoy a good meal if one needs to impress.

There are fish tanks with live fish and lobsters floating around, and ordering is done the old-school way on a paper slip where you mark the quantity you want. I love that everything comes out fresh and is handed to you table-side. What really stood out here was the portion size. The shui mai, har gow, and char siu bao were all much larger than I expected, so my friends and I played it safe and still ended up with way too much food. Not a bad problem to have, but definitely come hungry. The service was also better than what I've experienced at a lot of dim sum places, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. Solid traditional dim sum with generous portions and a nice hustle.

A lot of the steamed dim sum like siu mai and ha gow comes with 5 pieces instead of the usual 4. We got our food shortly after ordering and the servers filled our tea and water pots a few times.

If you are craving for dim sum but hate the crowd, you must check out 852 Kitchen…read more The tastes were definitely authentic and portion sizes were generous. The black truffle siu mai and shrimp dumplings had plenty of filling and were seasoned wonderfully. The HK style beef balls were bouncy and velvety smooth on the palate and the accompanying water chestnuts and cilantro accenting the meatiness to another level. We also had a great time baking the pineapple buns. From proofing to baking, it was exhilarating to watch the dough rise and their instructions were super easy to follow. Definitely the perfect breakfast item.

There were chunks of radish instead of shreds and not too much pork sausage but the smattering of scallops and dried shrimp on top added a nice chew. There is quite a bit of rice flour in this cake (compared to our usual favourite), but it did not eat greasy or too heavy. The Frozen Dim Sum though, is some of the best make at home dim sum my family has had! The quality of the meat is stellar and the flavours are authentic. We really liked how we could try their combos to get a taste of what we liked and we will surely be back to get our favourites!

ttps://www.kirinrestaurants.com/ Lots of parking available…read more-reservations highly recommended We were in the area at 11am & decided to grab a dim sum lunch at Kirin. I think this is one of the best decorated Kirin restaurants with a small garden & a private room to hold several tables. In addition, it is wheelchair accessible in the restaurant. The space in the restaurant is wide enough for wheelchairs which is a rarity in an Asia restaurant. Across our table were 2 tables of older adults with the staff from the Success care homes (located in Vancouver) having lunch. Many were in wheelchairs & having a great meal. The dim sum here is fresh & service is good. They would also carry dim sum items ( freshly made from the kitchen) to ask customers whether they liked an item that is immediately available. The dim sum is ordered from a menu.

Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor of Crystal Mall, serving an interesting combination of dimsum,…read moreCantonese BBQ and hotpot. We went there for the all you can eat hotpot, which was $43.99 per person for dinner. They were pretty busy on a Friday night, although we were able to get a table because some reservation didn't show up. Medium sized interior with mostly booth seating, and the entrance is narrower and expands to the back. It's a personal hotpot so each person gets their own stove and order their own soup base. Ordering is done via a tablet. They also have cooked dishes like skewers, fried mantou and other things on the menu in addition to the hotpot ingredients. Some of the items cost extra and are labeled with the cost. In the center, they have the sauce bar, desserts bar of mostly Chinese jellos and also an ingredients bar with things like spam and quail eggs. I got the satay broth and it was decent. Ingredients are served reasonably quickly. The quality of the meat is decent. The milk-marinated beef is actually soft, and the usual sliced ribeye, lamb shoulder and pork belly are fine. The cooked dishes are decent as well, as we tried their pork trotters, fried mussels, and lamb skewers. The selection for hotpot ingredient is as you'd expect for an AYCE place, but the cooked food selection is a bonus. Definitely stuffed myself and was a satisfying meal on a cold winter day. Not the cheapest meal, but not a solid value.

Maybe it's better during the day cause it wasn't great. The drinks were not good. Lemon tea was bitter and the winter melon slush was too sweet and not slushy at all. Zero ice in either of the drinks. The food was ok but cold. Barely hot even . The desserts were a good deal at $3 each but were very bland and needed sugar. I think they forgot to add sugar. The mango is terrible but the coconut one is ok but needed a lot more sugar. Overall the price is right but the food is average at best. Slow service too.
