It was actually busy. We ordered the special with 4 dishes and crab for $128. Good deal because you get soup, bucket of rice and dessert. The portions are really generous and there was ample food for the price. The crab was also very good. We ordered crispy chicken, beef and gai lan, deep fried squid, pork chops in sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered squab too and it was surprisingly really good. Not dry at all and quite tasty. Honestly there wasn't a bad dish. We will definitely be back.

My friend said this was her favourite dimsum spot so when I said I was craving dimsum she suggested…read morewe try this spot out. It turns out it used to be Hons before they changed names but likely retained the same staff. A couple parking spots behind the building, otherwise pay parking on the street. Between the 3 of us we ordered 7 dishes - deep fried bbq bun, shrimp dumpling, pork shu mai, deep fried squid, pan fried soy sauce rice rolls, mini chinese sausage buns, and deep fried salted dumplings with pork filling. I was hoping to order my favourite wu gok (deep fried taro puff) but they don't offer it here. The deep fried bbq bun was definitely unique as I have never seen it anywhere else. The mini chinese sausage buns were dry on the outside and I felt it was missing some kind of sauce to make it more cohesive. Han Lin was quite busy from opening (we arrived at 11am) until we left around 12:30pm - filled with mostly caucasian customers who were greeted like regulars. This spot was clearly popular with the locals! I wonder if some of their dishes were created with their taste buds in mind - ie. the deep fried bbq bun. I was a bit thirsty for the rest of the afternoon, not sure if it's indicative of MSG. Overall, I think this spot is just ok but if I'm craving dimsum I'll look elsewhere for more authentic options. They are missing the usual Cantonese dimsums like rice rolls, wu gok, tofu skin rolls etc. However, I'd definitely say that prices are very reasonable and it came to about $25 per person for us.

Star items to order : Fried Noodle with Beef & black pepper!! Very tasty and has a good kick from the pepper, generous with beef which is tender and not dry! Hot & Sour Soup, its a very popular soup but its getting harder and harder now to get a good one! Well balanced with the right amount of sourness and spiciness!

We ordered the squab, tendon, chive and prawn, and duck feet, congee, and some other innards lol and everything was delicious. The flavours were really well done and each dish had its own thing going for it. The tendon was cooked so succulently and was probably one of my favourites soooo tender and full of flavour. The chive and prawn was also really fresh and tasty, and the duck feet were nicely cooked. The atmosphere had such good vibes -- lively, warm and bustling in that classic dim sum way. It felt like a great place to sit down, share a bunch of dishes and enjoy a meal together. Overall, amazing service, delicious food and great vibes. We left really happy and satisfied, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their dim sum

As our first banquet dinner of our family meetup in Vancouver, our relatives chose Lee Garden…read moreSeafood Restaurant. We arrived right during our reservation window and the place was bustling on the Saturday evening. Every single table was taken - this place definitely requires reservations. Decor inside is pretty typical for a restaurant of this caliber - nothing fancy but nothing to complain about. Peking Duck and King Crab Set Menu ($638 - Note: Menu states this is for 4-6 people, we had 8 adults. I don't know if they charged more than the advertised menu price since I never saw the check) Just some shorter than usual notes since there were so many dishes. In order of arrival: Jasmine Tea - Super fragrant and flowery, great flavor They first brought out the live king crab, supposedly 6lb, for us to inspect. Fish Maw Soup with Assorted Seafood - Concentrated cornstarch enhanced gloopy soup. Full of seafood umami with a slight fishy flavor. Plenty of fish maw pieces that are tender. It's white peppery floral to start. They serve with a small cup of vinegar to add to taste - the soup is quite good before the vinegar, and adding it makes it taste like hot and sour soup. (4/5) Roasted Peking Duck - Not cut in front of us. The duck itself is dry and tough, not the best rendition of the dish. The skin also has some problems - the pieces still attached to meat are only lightly crisp and still have the fat layer attaching it to the meat, not rendered nearly enough. Definitely not air shocked as a more expensive one. The pieces of unattached skin are extra hard, beyond kettle chip hard instead of the crisp of a Lay's chip. The crepes are thick, sticky, floury, and dry. Meh. (2/5) Minced Duck Meat with Lettuce Wrap - Interesting pile of iceberg lettuce, all heaped to look like a fresh head. The duck meat surprisingly isn't as dry and tough as the Peking duck. It's actually quite similar to pork in both texture and flavor. It's cubed into small pieces and mixed with tons of crisp celery, carrot, and water chestnut. With the lettuce wrap, it's a great balance of textures. (4/5) Sauteed Fish Fillet with Greens - Another dish that's not great. Dry fish that has strong fishy flavor. Still somewhat flaky, and the broccoli that it comes with has a good firm crunch. (3/5) Steamed King Crab with Garlic - The legs are steamed, doused in a garlic butter sauce, and butterflied for service. The butter sauce is ridiculously rich, the crab is sitting in a huge vat of the sauce. It's oily and aromatic with tons of garlic which overwhelms the flavor of the crab. The crab is clearly overcooked. It's tough and it sticks to the shell so it's difficult to remove. For how much we were paying, I expected way better. (2/5) Deep Fried King Crab with Salt and Pepper - These are the body segments - they could take more care to separate these out into more pieces. They crab is lightly breaded and deep fried, giving a dry crisp, then is covered with a lightly spicy mix of herbs on top. It's still way overcooked. (2/5) Pork Chop in Preserved Plum - For the most part, the pork chop is nicely thin and tenderized/velveted. It's really tender and easy to bite through. Unfortunately there are tons of other pieces that are stringy and gristly. It's in a preserved plum sauce that for some reason tastes like fresh orange juice. Everything is evenly coated in this sauce - it's sticky and sweet and really reminds me of orange chicken. (4/5) Fried Rice with King Crab Meat & Assorted Seafood - Surprisingly a lot of crab in this - must be all the leftover bits? Also some scallops and shrimp. Very lightly seasoned and there's no wok hei, although the texture of rice is good. (4/5) Dessert Red Bean Soup - Gingery, with red beans and sago. There were also cookies provided which I did not sample - too stuffed! Honestly I found the food served at Lee Garden to be pretty mediocre. The signature dishes, the ones that cost the most by far - the crab and peking duck - were basically completely butchered. I would not go here for banquets. Maybe stick to the dim sum.

When you come into this place you can tell it is very old school style. I dont mind it as long as…read morethe food is good. One thing that wasnt very professional was that they had a private room with karaoke except it wasn't sound proof at all. Everyone in the main dining area can hear the people sing the whole time. We came here for the peking duck. Unfortunately it was not very good. The presentation was poor and most pieces were dry. There were not many pieces that were skin only. The crepes were unique - usually other restaurants give maybe like 8 crepes but this place gives supposedly 16 mini crepes. You can see that the crepes were on the dry side so I guess they didnt steam it fresh. I like the mini better so that I can get more wraps out of it. In other restaurants you wrap 8 and then you just have to eat the duck skin as is. The 2nd course was ok. The salt and pepper squid had good flavor but the squid was overly soft. The salted egg yolk prawn looked like it had a lot of egg yolk but for some reason it. didn't have much egg yolk taste to it. There was a sharp metal piece that was stirred into the prawn dish and we asked what it was. They said it was the prawns spikey shell. We didn't really buy it but we let it go. The fish maw soup barely had any fish maw in it. I dont think I would come back. If you want no frills chinese dinner with peking duck - I would recommend Golden Spring (not Golden Seafood that is beside it)
