There are fish tanks with live fish and lobsters floating around, and ordering is done the old-school way on a paper slip where you mark the quantity you want. I love that everything comes out fresh and is handed to you table-side. What really stood out here was the portion size. The shui mai, har gow, and char siu bao were all much larger than I expected, so my friends and I played it safe and still ended up with way too much food. Not a bad problem to have, but definitely come hungry. The service was also better than what I've experienced at a lot of dim sum places, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. Solid traditional dim sum with generous portions and a nice hustle.

The size of dim sum is like Texas saying. Everything is bigger at this restaurant. A picture shows the size of chive dumplings and shiu mai that is bigger than a tea cup! Tea cost is high but it is good tea. To go box and bag also cost money. I notice bags cost a lot more than US. That is good to deter ppl from unnecessarily bags. One last note. Chili pepper in US is Chili Oil at Vancouver.

First time here. Came to try the Dumplings and the Beef Noodle…read more The Dumplings were pretty good but not as impressive as my Chinese neighbour makes them but thats my bias. The Beef Noodle soup was ok but not as flavourful as Red Beef for example. It lacked a bit of kick. The meat was a little too soft for my taste but its very personal. I did see some other very interesting dishes so I will be back to try those and give a better verdict. Service was good and its a very big place despite what it looks like on the outside.

We ate what would normally be a $100-$125 US meal for under $80 US. It was awesome. We got so much food - it was ridiculous. We ate quite a bit and saved the rest for leftovers. The servers were super nice and sweet. Very family friendly. We found our new go-to spot in Vancouver, B.C. Also, if you give it a little time the parking isn't too bad. Dinasty also stays open a little later than most restaurants in town, making this a viable option when in a pinch for food but running late in the day. Will absolutely go back next time in town. Thanks for having us. Comparable to Dough Zone or Din Tai Fung, somewhere right in between with quality and cost. Everything was yummy.

Very good dim sum!…read more Ordered: Siu Mai: Excellent. Comes with five (!!) pieces and was succulent and juicy, topped with fish roe. Cha siu bao: Average. The meat was not lean enough but the flavor was standard. Egg tart: Excellent. The egg custard was much less sweet than I was accustomed to but was pleasant. The pastry portion was light and crispy. Shrimp and chive dumpling: Good. Packed with chives and shrimp with a light garlic flavor. Seared on both sides. Salt and pepper squid: Excellent. Easily the standout of the meal and was garnished with garlic and peppers! Ambiance was loud as usual for a dim sum restaurant. Service was quick attentive but I was disappointed that there was no house made chili. Overall a very decent dim sum experience.

I love the sweetness of the lychee, very different but would totally recommend. I love the entrance to this place too it has a little fountain, perfect for a good photo-op.

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of steamed bbq pork buns so imagine my absolute adoration when we got a huge steamed bbq pork bun here. It's the size of my face. Fluffy bun and savory bbq pork without the red food coloring, what more could you want? Mango pudding was also a nice touch. Refreshing and not too sweet so it's a great dessert to finish off whatever meal you were having or just as a standalone snack.

5 Stars - Excellent Chinese Seafood in Vancouver…read more Dynasty Seafood Restaurant 108-777 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4J7, Canada Visited: August 18, 2026 On a recent trip to Vancouver, I dined here for the first time with several colleagues of mine from Southern California, and we had an excellent experience. This was a spur-of-the-moment find. We didn't have reservations, so we did a quick Google search for a good Chinese restaurant in the area, and Dynasty Seafood Restaurant came highly recommended. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy and absolutely hustling and bustling. Fortunately, despite not having a reservation, our party of five only waited about 10-15 minutes for a table. We decided to order family style and share everything. Our order included: * Hot & Sour Seafood Soup - $36.99 * Pineapple Sweet & Sour Pork - $44.99 * Prawns & Scallops with Wine - $49.99 * Noodles with Soy Sauce - $32.99 * 5 Tsing Tao beers - $42.50 * 3 orders of Rice - $12.60 Subtotal: $220.06 CAD GST: $11.00 Liquor Tax: $4.25 Total: $235.31 CAD Everything we ordered was very good, but the sweet and sour pork was outstanding. I honestly would have been perfectly happy having an entire order of that as my meal. It was easily one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The hot and sour seafood soup was another highlight. It was loaded with seafood, including chunks of lobster, scallops, and shrimp, and had excellent flavor. I would definitely order that again as well. The prawns and scallops and the noodle dish were also very good, and sharing everything family style gave us a chance to try a nice variety. The service was very good and attentive throughout the meal, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. The restaurant itself was very clean and had more of an upscale atmosphere, yet I thought the prices were quite reasonable for the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. This turned out to be a great spur-of-the-moment choice. Five stars from me, and if I'm ever back in this part of Vancouver, I would definitely return to Dynasty Seafood Restaurant.
