(3.5/5) Really yummy dimsum here! Some standouts were the bbq pork pastry and stir fried beef and rice roll dish with an excellent savoury flavours and spice. Portion sizes and price point felt standard for Richmond. I thought it was cute that they also put the teapots on a candle stand to keep it warm. For 5 people, the total cost with tip was around $40 per person. Unfortunately, the only thing that fell short was the long wait we had to endure despite having made a reservation. We booked a reservation for 12:45pm, but because of the overwhelming weekend rush, we were not sat until 1:30pm. I understand that the restaurant was quite busy, but it certainly made the experience a little less enjoyable. There were also lots of people waiting in the area and the hostess found it hard to identify which groups were waiting and which had already checked in. I'm not sure if I'd return as there are so many other great dimsum places in Richmond that may not cost as much of a wait. read more

Food, service, value are impeccable. Ordered: shrimp dumpling, red rice roll, chicken feet, scallop dumpling, geoduck with scallions and ginger, albacore dumpling, egg tarts. Loved all. The geoduck is expensive and fairly small portion, but I bet it's still better value than bay area... Nice and bright, tidier than most cantonese restaurants. read more

One of the best tasting dimsum I've ever had. Loved: Chicken feet- The skin was so tender and peeled off the bone easily Steamed chicken with cordyceps- Juicy and fragrant. Delectable! Steamed beef balls with bean curd- Paired perfectly with the Worcestershire sauce Siu mai- Excellent texture Spare ribs Liked: Cha siu rice rolls Cha siu pastry Disliked: None! Service was nice and attentive. We made a reservation for 10am (they usually open at 10:30 but happened to be open early for the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday) and were seated right away. Tables filled up fast so definitely make a reservation in advance. Everything seemed perfect so why only 3 stars? Unfortunately we found both a roach and a spider at our table shortly after we were seated. We didn't want to make a scene so we killed both of them and sat at the same table but I did feel a bit on edge the whole time not knowing if anything else was going to come crawling out from under the table. It's kind of unfortunate that a potentially perfect dining experience was ruined by a bunch of critters so I hope the restaurant takes cleanliness more seriously. read more

One of our friend's sister-in-law recommended this place as they live in Seattle, WA so they would frequent Vancouver, BC as the drive is quite short. They said this dimsum place is one of their favorites and I can see why. The authenticity of the food seemed legit although they did not have the people pushing carts around the restaurant, the flavors were definitely on point. We had a group of 9 and we were seated almost immediately at around 11:30 AM on a Friday. The server asked us what tea we wanted and gave us a menu to pick from. As always we ordered with our eyes rather than our stomaches and had a bunch of leftovers. The shumai was insanely good, probably one of the best shumai's I've had as it was juicy, flavorful, and plump! One of our friends was talking to the server and apparently they use a similar method like xiao long bao and infuse the shumai with pork broth gelatin while steaming it which makes it flavorful and juicy! The other dishes were good too but nothing else really stood out in the savory section, but on the sweet side... if you like durian, their durian tarts was so tasty! Most of our group didn't partake but hey, more for me haha. The salted lava egg yolk buns were also top-tier and would recommend them. Overall, the food was good, service was great, and ambiance reminded me like any chinese banquet hall. 4/5 read more

For Richmond, this is actually.....not super impressive. It's good I guess. Service was a bit inconsistent. They were slow to take our order. Also, a lot of them don't seem super friendly. I can definitely see how Canadians/Americans that only know English would feel like they're getting the cold shoulder. Lol. Veggies are good. Pea sprouts have a fresh and very balanced taste. Radish cakes - Huge and nice flavor. Sesame Taro cake thing - I don't think I've ever had this particular taro dish. I found it to be a tad dry. I almost wish there was like....a sauce or something for this. Fu zhu juan - Pretty good. Big and juicy. Full of flavor. Porridge - For once, I opted for the plain porridge. It was delectable. The ratio of rice to broth was ideal. The level of starchiness was also quite nice You tiao - Not as crispy as I would've liked. Otherwise fine. Another you tiao in a weird sushi style - I didn't order this. It's not bad, but I find it a bit much for the plain porridge imho. Feet - Good flavor and texture. But not the best I've had. Also.....are these a bit on the smaller end? Eggplant thing - Tastes normal I guess. Didn't find the taste super impressive. Fried shrimp eggroll thing - Texture is good, but I find the flavor too plain. read more

Family favorite was the ginger fried rice. The crab was well presented and yummy. Another dish that keeps us coming back is the free range chicken. This place is popular so be sure to call ahead to reserve. Very professional service that replaced dirty plates and towellettes promptly in addition to tea refills. read more

The line outside the restaurant started forming 45 minutes before opening time. Parking lot filled up quickly. Nice interior decor and they were maximizing space by setting a 90 minute limit for diners. Compared with all the dim sum restaurants we have come to enjoy in Richmond, the food was amazing! Freshly made, everything was hot and tasty, hardly used any sauces, there was just no need. Each of us had our favorites but there wasn't a dish we did not like. The only regret was that we wished we had a bigger group so we could eat more variety!! read more

This place offers mediocre dim sum. In terms of price, they are on the higher end. Also, their selection is limited compare to other restaurants of similar size (there is plenty of seating). The plate of vegetable I ordered even contained a piece of hair when it came out. They had to remake that. Service is fast and polite. Note that they charge for water. read more

Food is so tasty! I had the pork liver rice sheet and I had never tasted porker liver that tender and juicy in my life; in my mind I always remember it being dry but it was nothing like that. Also ordered rice sheet with Chinese donuts filled with shrimp paste - amazing. Service is good when you sit down. If the restaurant is full they can be passive aggressive and ignore you. But I don't really have a high expectation for services from Chinese restaurants anyways so that was okay. Like I said once you are seated, their service is decent enough. read more

Came in when they opened at 1030 and was able to get a table for my party of 11 without any problems. Their parking lot was a plus and parking was not an issue. They do share a parking lot with adjacent businesses so I can see this being an issue during peak hours. Service was good for the most part. They constantly cleared our table of empty dishes and refilled our tea and hot water. We ordered a lot of items and when we added items, the staff was helpful and courteous. Food quality and portion sizes were great! The shrimp and chives rice noodle dish was the only dish that was not so good. Texture was too chewy and noodles were too thick. Seating was comfortable and we were not overcrowded at our table. The restaurant was clean and they had plenty of tables and staff. A solid place for dim sum and lunch. Items ordered Har gow x2- the dumplings are big with plenty of shrimp and the skin was not too thick. Order came with 5 Shrimp, scallop, and asparagus dumpling x2- good balance of items and very tasty Abalone soup dumpling x2- Soup was delicious and it was packed with shrimp, dried scallops, and included a small abalone. Durian tart- another solid durian dish if u r a durian fan Durian pancake- oh my yummy durian! Loved the texture and durian! Pork spare ribs x2- flavorful and taste was good Pork and clam porridge- Loaded with plenty of large clams and pork! Chinese donut- good and not overdone or dry Clam and pork congee- large clams, plenty of lean pork, and consistency was perfect! Not too thick or runny. Shrimp & fish maw- large shrimp portions with fish maw Soy sauce chow mein- cooked with sprouts and scallions and well seasoned Chicken feet- a dim sum staple cooked and flavored well Bean curd rolls x2- Large rolls filled with plenty of meats. One of the best I have had! Egg tart- flaky crust and soft center, another good choice Steamed BBQ pork bun- good sized buns with bbq pork filling Steamed chicken bun- good sized buns with chicken filling Custard buns- I didn't try them but they looked good I asked for a side of hot sauce and their addition of curry to it really worked well. Must try!! read more

Yue Restaurant is famous for it's dim sum in Vancouver, but my family and I wasn't able to make it so we decided to try their dinner. We had a high expectation because we heard good reviews about the restaurant. However, we didn't enjoy our order. All dishes were really oily and extremely greasy! Steamed fish: we enjoy eating fishes. The fish itself has no problem, it is fresh and tender. However, the sauce was really sweet! We visited other canto restaurants, but never had such a sweetened fish dish. Grilled Lamb Chop: this was ordered for my parents, probably the only dish they enjoyed. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly, it is tender and juicy. It is not salty, but one per person is greatly enough because it can get greasy and heavy. Seafood Vermicelli in Clay Pot: the shrimps and scallops are nice and big, but it comes with a large portion of vermicelli. Since it was stirred up with lots of oily, this is a super heavy and oily! Don't recommend this. Scrambled eggs with black cod: the eggs are nice and fluffy and the cod fish is fresh. But it has the same issue as all the other dishes, it is very oily! We couldn't finish it because it was very greasy. Stir- Fried Gai Lan with Ginger Sauce: Gai lan was fresh, but it is so oily! Vegetable dishes are often light and can hardly go wrong, but this dish was super oily! Didn't help with easing off the greasiness from other dishes. Braised Pork with Sweet Soy Sauce: a famous canto dish, but I only recommend on ordering it if you have a large party size. The pork was fatty, pairing the sweet sauce makes it more oily and greasy. A large portion was left over. Complimentary dessert: the porridge was nicely cooked, it is lightly sweetened, mostly from the pumpkin and taro. The almond cookies were served nicely baked and crispy. My family hate to have left overs, but all the dishes couldn't be finished because of how oily and greasy they were. Maybe Yue Restaurant may be a better choice for dim sum, but DEFINITELY NOT for dinner. Also, their dinner price for each dishes is high. The service was great after you started ordering and eating. The host was kind of cold and seemed annoyed when we walked in. The restaurant was not busy when we visited on a Friday evening. read more

My friends and I went to Yue Restaurant for dim sum on an holiday morning. When we got there, most of the tables were taken, however, we were seated without having to wait. We noticed that when we were finished eating, there was a lineup. We ordered the following items: -steamed shrimp dumplings -steamed beef tripe with satay sauce -pan fried turnip cake with Chinese sausage -baked egg tart with milk puff pastry -steamed pork ribs with pumpkin -steamed curry baby cuttlefish -steamed rice rolls with scallop and parsley My friends and I all thought this dim sum place was decent, but not spectacular. The quality of food is comparable with most other dim sum places we've been to in the past. I really enjoyed the steamed curry baby cuttlefish and the steamed rice rolls with scallop and parsley, however, that might simply be personal preference. read more

This was recommended by friends! This place is busy! Make reservations few days ahead. Parking is free! However, we could not find parking in lot and ended up parking on the street. I'm glad that we had someone in our party of 7 that spoke Chinese. Some did not speak English well. Service was great. Food was delicious! We ordered 2 noodle dishes and 2 vegetable dishes. Along with dim sum dishes. Dishes that were different that have not seen on other menus were bbq bun and matcha bun with egg yolk(dessert) the bbq bun with light sugary topping were delicious that most of our party ordered them to go. Our reservations was on a Saturday at 1130am. Time limit 1.5 hours. Atmosphere open light and clean. Mickey decorated and staff attentive and in uniform. $252 US dollars for the 7 of us including tip and tax. Would definitely go again! read more

Got a chance to try three different dim sum spots during our recent trip to the Vancouver area. Although I still think that Kirin was the best, Yue was also a solid option. The restaurant was nicely decorated and not too crowded. Service was decent. We had the usual steamed shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, steamed beef rice rolls, etc. There was also a special on deep fried crab with garlic 避風塘蟹。Everything was tasty and authentic. The stand out was the scallops with crispy taro. This is not usually found in other restaurants. The steamed beef rice rolls were also very good. Will need to come back to try their dinner one of these days. Dim sum is solid and rather delicious. read more

This place was recommended to me by at least 4 friends when I asked them where I should go for dim sum in Richmond. I must say, it's the best dim sum I've had in a while.

Good service. Dim sum is decent, best dish is egg yolk bun. But the lobster noodle is a big disappointment--too much cream deflated the flavor. read more

Parking is tight at the parking lot for this restaurant; not only is it shared among several businesses including this one but the spots themselves are also tight and make you nervous. As with a handful of other dim sum restaurants I go to, the inside has some pretty lighting to the point where you could hold a wedding or some other big celebration inside after dim sum hours. I went in with a group of 4 and had to wait just a little bit as the vast amount of seating (from four to large groups) was mostly filled. With varying degrees and speed of service from our servers, we got some things we don't normally get at most dim sum places: - We got Xiao long bao here and it came as 5 pieces. Soup was still inside the baos and it ended up being an amazing palette cleanser, and it was piping hot too! - The Chinese donut with shrimp and takoyaki sauce was an interesting twist on the regular Chinese donut rice noodles I usually get. It was basically a mix of two savory things I would have preferred to eat separately since both of their taste profiles clashed pretty hard; this sadly wasn't my favorite. - The pan fried Chinese pancake definitely had what were chives, so it was essentially a shrimp with chives patty put inside another kind of wrapping. - I didn't expect the steamed rice roll with minced pork and egg to be so plain-looking. This ended up tasting very homemade and therefore also very clean and fresh compared to the rest of the food we got. - The desserts we got varied in how I felt. Sponge cake was all right, the sweetened fluffy egg pastry felt very small with a weird sweet aftertaste, and there was far too much durian than what I would have wanted on the durian egg tart. You really have to love durian to enjoy this. There was a lot to say here but I would still recommend here for some more unique dim sum dishes that have a different taste to them. read more

Heard Yue has good dim sum. We stayed in hotel near Yue so decided to give it a try before we were to board a cruise. Nice atmosphere and the dim sum was good. Since we were getting on a cruise didn't order as many dishes as we wanted! Choose 6 dishes for 6 people. Service was decent. read more

This place is really popular, and it's felt right away as the small parking lot is a struggle to navigate as cars circle around waiting for someone to vacate their spot. As a result, it wasn't a surprise that there was a decent wait to get in without reservations. At the waiting area are some awards they've gotten for specific dishes, a nice hint to order them if you're not sure what to get You can also ask for a menu, so by the time you get to the table, you'll be ready to submit your order into the kitchen. The seating area was typical of a dim sum place, maybe a bit more modern and spacious compared to others I've been to. It was nice and bright, making it a nice area to enjoy a meal. Tea was served immediately after sitting, and that was great. The food was great. I would definitely come back for the food, but make a reservation next time. The tripe was flavorful and easy to eat. Chewy, rubbery tasteless tripe is never good, but this tripe wasn't that. It came with that flavorful broth too. It definitely wasn't spicy though, which I was hoping for. The har gow were good, solid. The shumai were delicious, and that was scarfed down by the table. Almost got more of them, but we already had so much food on the table. The noodles were delicious. I really enjoyed that. Flavorful, and each component of the dish complemented each other. We also got the "Chinese Donut with Shrimp Paste and Takoyaki Sauce" after seeing on plenty of other people's tables. It was good. I enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back. read more

Seriously tasty dim sum place along the famous stretch of Alexandra. Parking is available but quite limited in the lot next to the building. Hopefully you get lucky. Otherwise you're looking at the paid spots on the street. The venue is divided into a larger main room as well as 2 smaller private rooms. This place sure is popular. The entire place was swamped, with a lineup out the door. Claustrophobic may want to avoid this place. The food here is of very good quality I must say. Prices somewhat reflect this, but it is reasonable overall. See pics. Probably one of the best dim sum places in town. Highly recommended. read more

One of the best dim sum place I've been to for a while, better than San Fransisco Bay area. Made a reservation on the same day for weekday noon after hearing it to be very popular.

Steamed rice roll with Chinese donut was delicious, the rice roll is just the right amount of tenderness and donut and shrimp fillings tasted great. read more

Richmond has a plethora of options to satisfy those brunch time cravings for yum cha! Yue Restaurant is a stand out option in a crowded field. We got there before they opened and there already people in the convenient parking lot. Inside is pretty clean and upscale looking. Steamed rice rolls (cheung fun) were stand out items with both the beef rice rolls and shrimp ones being very good. I have never seen fried chicken knuckles on a menu but we had to try it! Nice 5 spice flavor and if you are into chewing on cartilagenous chicken bits (apparently I am) this is for you. I also liked how the tea pots all had their own tea candles to keep warm. Prices seemed on par with Richmond dim sum places! read more

Mid-size Cantonese restaurant on Alexandra Rd in Richmond. I think this is one of the newer Cantonese restaurants in Richmond. Went there for weekday dimsum and the place was doing decent business. The dimsum menu has some interesting items. They have a couple of items with some durian. I'm not the biggest fan of durian, but we tried durian tarts and the durian flavor was pretty mild and pleasant. Also had the matcha bun with the runny custard. The bun is bright green, but didn't taste much matcha flavor. Other than the color, it tasted exactly the same as a regular steamed bun with runny custard. Their fried taro "dumpling" has a unique look and each had a scallop on top. Tried a whole bunch of other dimsum items too, and overall it was pretty solid, comparable to the other mainstay dimsum restaurants in the area both in taste and price. read more

Overall, this is a good place for yum cha. The food definitely tastes better than dim sum restaurants in the United States that don't have a large Cantonese population, but it is not a big enough difference that I would go out of my way to Richmond for this particular restaurant. I heavily prefer Hong Kong style egg tarts, which aren't made here. These egg tarts were super small and 50% crust. However, it actually tasted great even though there was so much crust. The waitstaff can be very attentive. I went when the restaurant opened, so the room was a third full, and kind of struggled to get my food ordered. but after that, even when it got really busy, the waitstaff kept trying to give me new plates to clear out the empty lo mai gai wrappers. They also refilled the teapot multiple times, although it wasn't necessary. Very nice! read more

My family always makes sure to visit Yue Restaurant for dim sum whenever we visit Vancouver, and to my knowledge this place has been around for many years now, so that speaks to the quality of their food to survive for so long in such a populated area where there are many competing restaurants. Every dim sum item I've had here is tasty - my personal favorites are the Portuguese egg tarts, braised beef rice noodle roll bowl, siu mai and BBQ pork pastry (has a hint of ginger). But you definitely can't go wrong with anything you order. I've also had dinner here a couple of times (albeit a few years ago) and I remember the abalone and shark fin's soup being good, but nothing else too memorable. The dim sum is better than dinner IMO. Service is pretty good, servers are friendly but this place is quite popular and can get packed. Would recommend making reservations. They have a private parking lot outside the restaurant. read more

We went to Yue Restaurant after attempting to go to Kirin then finding out you need reservations even on a Friday morning lol. We were seating immediately with no wait and given a menu completely in Chinese. Thankfully, our waitress could speak English so she helped us with our order. For the usual Siu Mai, har gow, shrimp noodle roll, liu sha bao, some other things and tried a scallop dish our waitress recommended. Everything was so good! I liked that the skin wasn't too thick on the har gow and the flavor was yummy for all items. The liu sha bao was green and delicious! He liked the scallop one, as it had a crunchy nest and beef filling. We'd both never tried it before so it was fun. Great experience overall and no wait at all! read more
