The boiled slice fish in chili oil was really soft and flavorful (probably my favorite dish) and the cold noodles were one of the better tasting ones I've had.

Great spot for late night eats (SIU YEH)…read more This place serves authentic Chinese food and has super affordable late nights prices. Come after 9pm for their cheaper prices to try a variety of dishes. My favourites include: deep fried pork intestine - super crispy with a beautiful chee Black bean clam - flavourful and the clams were HUGE Bring CASH , they are cash only. The restaurant can get super busy so be ready to wait

Finally got a chance to try this place after a few decades. Still remember when it was Dragon Inn…read more The place was packed late at night, which is always a good sign. Parking is available but limited in the lot in front. Better to look along Kingsway, or in the side streets behind the restaurant. I found it hilarious that the lot specifically prohibits parking for Tina Cake next door. Guess that must've been a problem over the years. The inside is plain and quite dated (old school). Looks like something out of the 1980s. Awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Everything hit the spot in terms of authentic Cantonese. I had the stir fried beef with black pepper sauce, Hainan style chicken, and sweet and sour pork. Everything tasted great. Portion sizes are decent, and prices are quite reasonable. As the dishes are shared, it is best to come in groups (at least 3-4) so more dishes can be ordered. Looks like I've found my go-to for late night Cantonese food. Recommended.

Z W Shanghai Kitchen remains one of the few places in Metro Vancouver serving truly authentic…read moreShanghai cuisine. The dishes still deliver -- generous portions, deep home-style flavours, and prices that feel fair in today's dining climate. Their xiao long bao and braised dishes continue to remind diners why the restaurant earned pre‑pandemic acclaim. Unfortunately, time and circumstance haven't been kind. Since COVID, the buzz has faded, and newer diners -- especially Gen Z and Alpha crowds -- don't seem drawn to its classic atmosphere or understated presentation. In an era when restaurants live or die by social media trend cycles, Z W Shanghai Kitchen could benefit from fresh marketing: better visuals, outreach on local foodie channels, or even a small menu refresh to attract younger palates without losing tradition. The location hasn't helped either. Like many West Vancouver businesses near Broadway, the ongoing transit construction has eaten away at visibility and foot traffic. It's a tough environment, but if any restaurant deserves to survive it, it's this one -- anchored by culinary integrity and authentic taste. It matches the calibre of popular spots like Shanghai River and Top Shanghai Cuisine in Richmond.

I walked by this place everyday as I work very close. One day decided to go in for lunch randomly…read morewithout any expectations. And boy am I glad I did! They have their lunch menu which is perfect for working professionals who want the service to be quick. You choose a main dish and it comes with steamed rice and a bowl of soup. Ambience was of a typical Chinese restaurant. Let me start with the soup first. So flavourful!! I went for a hot and sweet soup (other option was corn) and it was a warm hug in a bowl. Simple yet delicious! My main was chicken with chili and garlic. Honestly it didn't have chilli or garlic flavour but I loved it! Next time I will try the spicy schezwan one. Rice was enough for one person but I couldn't finish it all. Service was respectful and fast. I was in and out in about 20 mins!! The total $15.63!!!! I end up paying more at Subway sometimes and I don't even like subway! I will be a frequent lunch go-er here!

Honestly everything is so good I don't even have a regular go-to. Today was a dumpling day though and they were all amazing! We had the Xiao long bao which were so fresh and juicy, they came out steaming hot. Bigger than typical and absolutely delicious! One of their best dishes, imo. They are on the chefs specialty page and it's easy to see why. I believe they won some awards for this dish specifically. We also had the wontons in spicy garlic sauce, shumai and pan fried pork buns. Everything was yummy and perfect on a rainy day. If you're in the area, definitely check them out. They have what looked like some great lunch combos for one as well!

Scan the QR code and place your order - staff will come by with a paper copy of the order confirmation. Ordered the XLB, SJB (sheng jian bao aka pan-fried dumplings), shumai, and sweet lotus root with osmanthas. My Shanghainese and self-proclaimed XLB guru dad liked how much soup the XLB they had, but said they were a touch too sweet. The bao/shumai came in multiples of 3 items, so our family of 4 would split randomly. Overall, waited a while for our food, but friendly service. Wanted to like this place, but probably won't visit again :/

Longdhang Shanghai is restaurant that is gives off that homey Shanghai vibe. I was happy to find…read morethis little restaurant tucked in Richmond was searching for a place to fulfill my cravings for xlb. We ordered the xlb, scallion oil noodles and pan fried pork buns. Xlb was meaty and juicy but my favourite was the scallion oil noodles. The noodles is a simple dish yet the flavours is so satisfying and bold. I think I can eat multiple bowls of these noodles if I tried and would come back even just for that one dish! There are plenty of options in the menu for such a small restaurant that I would certainly come back!

The service was amazing and so was the food!! and incredible atmosphere and cozy vibe.read more

The fish was really tasty -- well seasoned and perfectly cooked. For three people, the portion was just a little small on its own, but once we added some lamb skewers on the side, it was more than enough.

Service is typical fast and efficient with little fanfare. They could use some elbow grease to give the place a good cleaning and throw away some of the old junk beside the beverage fridges. But it is the food I come for which makes the grade. I get the lamb skewers in the evening with a bowl of sesame noodles and this hits the spot. Very comforting and satisfying I have seen their whole fish dish and I want to try it soon. They also have a Beef noodle soup which is good with house made springy noodles. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the whole fish with chilies.

We ordered the signature steamed garlic lobster with sticky rice. Iterated great with enough lobster for 4 of us. Maybe a tad on the salty side with the amount of garlic for me.

Food is Cantonese, with crabs featured in multiple dishes. We decided on Fried Squid (since salt & pepper seemed spicy, she said). We had Dungeness Crabs in Ginger and Scallion, Soy Sauce Chicken and Pea Tips in garlic. All the dishes were exceptionally prepared. The portions were huge, as well. But we wiped off those platters with some steamed rice. The restaurant is small with about seating for 50 or so. It's set in an obscure part of an industrial area, about a 2 minute walk to IKEA. This is in the northern fringe of Richmond. The servers seem to not to be in a hurry to get your order. I say that as a compliment, because servers in Chinese restaurants usually tend to be in a hurry to get you in and out. But once you decide what you want, our server was there to help us make a choice. She also smiled a lot and was quite friendly. There is ample parking in the back. We'll be back for sure, even if it's out of the way and maybe more courageous to try other dishes on the menu.
