See All Lists
1. Lougheed Wonton
Surprisingly, I'm happy that their menu offerings are smaller than your average Chinese take out place. My parents suggested the usual take out idea on a recent visit, and I obliged. I don't remember the last time I got delivery from somewhere,…More »
2. Panz Veggie Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1W7
(604) 266-3637
The menu lacks description, so I thought I'd kick off this review with some descriptions:
Laughing Tiger: vegetables: carrots, celery, potatoes, lotus root and baby corn mixed with tofu skin in a light sauce and lots of ginger
Colourful commentary: It…More »
3. Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N9
(604) 872-8822
I brought a friend here who had never, ever had dim sum before and for her first experience, I'm sure she'd say it was a-ok. However for me... here's how I arrived at meh:
5 star for the siu mai. Arguably the best I've had.
4 stars for the sticky rice.…More »
4. Happy Valley Seafood Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5M 2A4
(604) 255-2280
A packed house...on a week day afternoon...A healthy mix of families (mostly Asian) and men on business lunches (enjoying beers with their dim sum). I had never seen that before at dim sum, and I liked it!
The food was well priced and decent. Not my…More »
5. Sha Lin Noodle House
I'll make this chop chop, unlike the service we got tonight.
-Cutting noodles, cucumber and pork - meh, the noodles were a bit underdone and while I love cucumber, this dish just didn't do it for me.
-Dumplings with pork and bok choy - alright

6. Congee Noodle House
There are so many ways to say goodbye: farewell, arrivederci, adios, ciao... but a good ol fashioned "see you never again" sufficed as I stormed out of Congee Noodle House's door for the last time.
Feeling ripped off (more than once) never leaves a…More »

7. East
Vancouver, BC V6H 4E4
(604) 568-6988
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Chinatown
Outside of the fact that I forgot to save room for popcorn, I'd say East meets most of my criteria for pre-film dining.
The menu, on chloroplast (the same stuff that political lawn signs are made of) was difficult to navigate. Choose noodles and an…More »
8. Peaceful Restaurant
Like walking into an entirely other place: a memory of Hong Kong perhaps, or maybe one from my childhood when my mother would take us to some hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown. Either way, the hand drawn shanghai noodles with pork and the crispy tofu…More »
9. The Legendary Noodle House
Over the past year, I've given Legendary Noodle a few chances to wow me. Their pea shoots, still delicious. Their xiao bao long, respectable. But even the sauciest sauce lover out there (ah hem, that's me I'm referring to) can't help but say WTF when…More »

Fatten, roll, smooth, cut, smack, smack, smack. I was in awe watching my noodles come to life. So… Read more »

Vancouver, BC V5N 5E5
2 = number of people dining
22$ (+ tip) = Cost for a very filling dim sum.
20% = weekday discount
2 = thumbs up
Kat S deserves 100% of the credit for inviting me for dim summing here today. We stuffed ourselves on sticky rice, beef stuffed rice rolls,…More »
