Top notch Chinese food. Came here for a Chinese banquet and everything tasted amazing and perfectly made! Service was highly professional and food quality was wow. Classy Chinese food experience.

As of this date, hands down the best overall Chinese restaurant. I drive to Vancouver BC from Seattle often to just eat here. Amazing value and quality. Come here for both dimsum and dinner.

Pardon my half eaten dishes LOL we were all so hungry. Dim sum was decent and we were satisfied. Service was a little bit unusual especially if you don't speak Chinese...but overall friendly. Prices were a bit high for some of the portion sizes and the menu items are a bit different than typical dim sum places.Food: 7/10Experience: 7/10Service: 6/10Value: 5/10

I brought a couple of out of town friends here based on a friend’s recommendation. If you’re looking for the same old, same old dim sum dishes, you won’t find it here. Our hopes were set high for the sesame seed deep fried balls and the deep fried ‘footballs’, and were majorly disappointed. The prices were reasonable based on the quality.The dim sum menu had 50 items which is small compared to many other dim sum places. Our favourites were Deep Fried Halibut in Premium Soy Sauce; Steamed Scallop & Pureed Truffle Rice Roll; Steamed Prawn, Pork, & Enoki Mushroom Bean Curd Roll; Pork & Chinese Mushroom Pastry topped w/Abalone; Egg Custard Tart & Deep Fried Egg Chip w/syrup. Checkout the photos as you’ll be drooling. Everything was tasty. Service was good and efficient. The server was good in making suggestions. A good selection of ramen, fried rice, and noodle dishes which we passed on.There’s plenty of free parking near the restaurant. Only steps away from the Starlight Casino. We were able to make reservations. Nice ambience.

This is one of the best dim sum places in Greater Vancouver area. We came in for dinner for the first time and was pleased with the quality of the dinner menu as well. The dinner dishes are quite expensive ($35+/entree) but it's well worth it.

Always have great experience in this place! Ken, and Chad are great servers! We live nearby and we often visit this local restaurant. Their food quality is top notched. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food and attentive staff. We have been patrons since they open their former location in City Square in Vancouver. Now that location is gone, this is our choice. We find all of the great food and many of the familiar, friendly, faces 8n this location. Parking us easy to find albeit it is a longer drive for us.

The food was very different. Good food and excellent service. Liked the fact they check everyone vaccine passport at the door.

Good environment, especially for Chinese dim sum & dinner over the years. Never disappointed. Dim sum changes ever so often & service is good. Bigger open air space & lovely decor including outside Asian garden & inside urn fountains. Lighting is lovely.

Really nice place for family or friends gathering , place is spacious , we eat Dianxin here, taste good, service waiter always checked at our table. Will recommend my friends here in the future.
