    THE BIG: Located in Richmond. This is an unassuming Cantonese joint that only has cantonese speaking people inside eating. It has terrible reviews on google but that makes it even better. Tons of parking available in the parking lot and it can get packed. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Took my parents here when we were visiting Vancouver and it was so good, we went twice! My mom especially loved their Cantonese poached chicken. It was cold but the texture of the skin was amazing! We also got the bbq duck, a couple of vegetable dishes like gailan to round out the meal. Before the meal, we got soup and after the meal we got more soup but sweet! It varies depending on what the kitchen wants to send. The first time we got red bean vs the second we got mung bean. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done was around 120 CAD for three to four dishes. Definitely recommend this place for authentic cantonese dining.

    Authentic Cantonese food. Canto parents approved. My parents are super hard to please and they really liked this place. Not just the price but the quality of food and the additional items that they brought precursor soup and a not too sweet after meal dessert. The space is tight but the servers are accommodating even breaking out more tables and chairs for some of the larger parties. 20 minutes was the longest time it took to get seated, that's pretty fast for prime dinner times. I never knew that how you prepare chicken could be so different. We ordered the combination bbq items and a hot stone pork bowl, cold boiled chicken with scallion ginger sauce. The cold boiled chicken was so good. The skin was slick and so yummy. In fact everything was delicious. From start to end. It was so good that my parents wanted to come back. Everything was great even the second time! The cha siu was legit, the roast duck was the perfect amount of crispy. If I come back to Vancouver I'd definitely be back here again.

    This small Cantonese BBQ spot is incredible! I came with my husband and in laws (who are very critical about food) and they absolutely loved it. They give everyone a soup to start out and a lentil soup for dessert. We ordered a cold chicken, bbq port, chinese broccoli, and a chicken clay pot. Each dish was huge and had great flavor all around. Service is quick to get the job done. It was $137 for everything, which is a steal! Highly recommend avoiding lunch and dinner rush hours!

    3 meats and rice combo

    This BBQ joint is going to be a favourite from now on whenever I'm in Richmond. Despite their odd layout of the entrance and kitchen. Their food is very good. I love how their soups aren't made with fillers or too much msg. We particular love the roast chicken.

    The roast pork and BBQ pork were melt-in- your-mouth tender. Sooo good. They offer sit-down and takeout service.

    Peking Duck in menu

    We saw the picture of Pecking Duck and thought it would be enough for 5 of us. It's only skin and very little duck meat were served! Don't be fooled by the picture like us! Totally disappointed. The waitress knocked off my tea twice, I had to clean up the mess myself using all napkins available the first round. It was nice of them that on second time, the waitress offered 2 new napkins so I don't have to use my own clothes to dry my dining area!!! Best thing is, they go after us for the tip! I normally paid by card and leave cash for tip. This is the first time I was after for not leaving tip in card! Totally uncomfortable. Food might be good but service sucks!

    Came here cause someone told my mom the bbq duck noodle here was good. Overall very disappointed with my experience here. Service was abysmal/ nonexistent... well.. at least the waitress with a ponytail (March 29th 4:45pm) was absolutely horrible. We asked her if they have a certain item and she'd respond with "of course we have it. Just look at the menu" in Cantonese. We wouldn't have asked if we saw it on the menu. Asked her if it's possible to get milk tea less sweet & less ice. And she'd respond with "everything is premade". Pretty much (take it or leave it) attitude. After she vacuums the carpet in front of us while we're eating with gloves on. She uses those very same gloves to give me an unwrapped plastic straw. I'm so thankful I always carry my own metal straw. Overall, the duck's not bad. At least the back portion was good and the skin was pretty crispy. But I hated the soggy noodles with subpar soup. Plum sauce was also the cheap kind you get in a glass jar. And the milk tea was probably the worst milk tea I've ever had in my life. And I've been drinking milk teas for over 15 years now. $5 for an extremely sweet and burnt pre made tea. Waited for the ice to melt in the tea for over 3 hours, and it was still rubbish. It makes sense why close to nobody eats in at the restaurant and just buy the bbq meat to go. Overall, $20 for the bbq duck soup and terrible milk tea. I stilled tipped the obligatory 10%. Probably could have done without, but it also felt beneath me. And at least the duck itself was decent. I honestly try not to give 1 stars to anybody since Covid (I'd rather not write the review at all), but this experience was just too terrible to not write about.

    Bbq meats in the window, apologies for the glare.

    I had the chicken with Ginger and rice. So good! It reminded me of what I had in Singapore, except this was better. The chicken was perfectly tender. My uncle stuck with his tried and true sweet and sour pork with pineapple. He said it's better than what he gets at home. My aunt however had the best meal! Curry Chicken. This was by far our favorite dish! The waitress was direct but they were all busy the entire time we were there. She wasn't chatty, but on the way out when I thanked one for our meal they all they were all brightened up and were so friendly, inviting us back anytime. If I lived in town I'd be here once a week for that curried chicken and vegetables. Hot tea and hot soup came with our meals. It felt like what my husband would make us at home. Pork and something like cabbage, that I've never had before. Clean restaurant with prompt service. I'll be dreaming of the curry chicken for the rest of my life, and it's definitely what I'll order next time.

    Update: Since giving up on this Chinese Style BBQ place a while back, my recent visits warrants me to give this place 2 more stars! On different occasions, I ate in and also took out, and both were more then satisfactory. Special mention is their BBQ Duck, in my previous review, I pointed out that when we ordered take out lunch box with different kinds of BBQ combination meats they were mostly bones etc. not very much edible meat. Learning from experience, I have since ordered the meat separately e.g. 1/2 BBQ Duck for $14.50 to go with my own rice or noodles at home and that turns out to be a much better deal and quality. Also I find that when you eat in their portions are more reasonable and the cut of the meat to be much better then their take our rice box. So, for now they have earned my 2 stars to upgrade to a 3, lets see if their quality and standard can last! (lets hope so, since these kind of restaurants are getting more scarce by the day even in Richmond).

    Roast Pork, roast duck and soy sauce chicken
    Mario N.

    The BBQ meats tasted great, we had the roast pork, Soy sauce chicken and roast duck, all were excellent, come here for the BBQ meat, the rest of the menu can be ignored.

    $15.94 worth of BBQ duck
    Deidra C.

    This is actually a zero star review. My experience buying BBQ duck here was horrible. I ordered a small size through their website and went to pick it up. According to this price, I assumed size small meant half a duck - but boy was I wrong. It seems that $15.94 only gets you a quarter of a duck - or it did for me at least. But the best part was that this place also seem to have a fluid pricing system because when I went to pick up my order, the price suddenly increased to $19.98. I was thankful that I had proof on my phone that showed I owed only $15.94. I had to provide it as proof to the lady at the counter and then she begrudgingly accepted my payment. To top it all off, the duck I was ripped off for was neither fresh nor tasty. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. You'll have to deal with unpleasant staff and will likely get scammed

    Assorted BBQ Meats
    Melissa C.

    I've come here several times for family dinners and my review may be a little skewed since I'm not the one in charge of the bill - because who doesn't like free food, right? They have a variety of Chinese dishes but some of my favourites are below. Giant Wintermelon Soup - served in a carved out melon so the presentation is impressive. The soup is favourful with the mushrooms, roasted duck and sweet wintermelon. Chinese-style Crab - finely crusted and fried the crab is sweet inside and it comes with noodles underneath that helps to soak up the sauces and compliment the crab. Finally a dish you probably came here for specifically is their Assorted BBQ Meats Platter - Their Crispy Skin Pork has the crispiest skin and juicy meat. The Roasted Duck is tender and has a rich duck flavour. The BBQ Pork is super tender and the sauce drizzled on top adds that familiar sweetness. The restaurant inside can get pretty busy and the seating can be pretty tight as well. But service is usually timely and nice. Overall, a good place to get your fill on Cantonese BBQ meats.

    Daily soup
    Pear L.

    Enjoyed their bbq duck and liked that they gave us free daily soup. Chicken is not bad but could be better compared to another place under superstore. Over all it's great. Cash only though, so remember to bring money!

    If you are here for a quick meal, don't forget to order the BBQ items over rice. I particularly like the steamed sticky rice with lobster.

She wanted to go to Kirin. Plenty of parking in the mall. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly. Restaurant was busy but not crazy. This was at 10am on a Thursday. Waiters were attentive. Usual table service was in place. Took our order and food came out at acceptable pace. When we were done, they politely boxed up the leftovers and we paid our bill. So service was on point. The food we ordered came out hot. The staples that I order to test was hargow, suimai and pai gwut(spareribs). All 3 dishes in general were good.....the hargow could have used an extra minute or 2 in the steamer. The suimai was very good. I tasted every ingredient in this dish. Usually it is just a complete mix and you can't discern the different flavors. They tried something different with the cheongfun by adding pieces of Chinese donut to the roll. I personally think it didn't add much to the dish, taste or texture wise. I did like the pea shoots with shrimp. I think it is a good combo. All in all a good dimsum. I also noticed they did not charge us a tea service. The cost of the food is comparable with other restaurants at this level. Yes come on a date or impress business clients/boss or family celebrations.

    I have many Chinese friends in Vancouver, and my last visit to Kirin Richmond was in July 2024…read more This time, it was my birthday, and my friends insisted on treating me to Kirin Richmond once again. On a typical Sunday evening, the restaurant is usually fully occupied, but my friend had thoughtfully made a reservation a week in advance, so our table for five was ready upon arrival. As always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with good airflow thanks to the wide-open front entrance facing the parkade. The front desk receptionist greeted us cordially, and we were escorted to a cozy table in a comfortable location -- not too close to the washrooms, which I appreciated. Our meal began with the Kirin Special Assorted Cold Appetizer, followed by Crab Meat, Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw Soup. The soup arrived piping hot and was delicious, with a generous portion that could easily have served eight people. We also enjoyed Pea Tips Braised with Bean Curd and Assorted Mushrooms in Consommé, Marinated Free-Range Crispy Skin Chicken, Fillet of Cod Sautéed with Seasonal Vegetables, and Live Crab in Consommé with Ginger and Green Onion, served with E-fu Noodles. Overall, the quality and taste of every entrée were excellent. Service was top-notch -- tea and hot water were refilled constantly, bones and used plates were replaced promptly, and the servers were friendly and engaging throughout the evening. My friend and his family have apparently been regulars at this location for over two decades, which likely contributed to the exceptional attentiveness we received. However, one aspect of the experience genuinely disturbed me. All servers, including the captains, continued to wear masks at all times. While this practice was understandable two years ago, now -- five years after the onset of the pandemic, with COVID-19 managed similarly to other seasonal respiratory illnesses -- the continued universal masking in a fine-dining environment feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall guest experience. Fine dining, in my view as an avid foodie, is built on human connection, hospitality, and personal interaction. Masks create a more impersonal, almost clinical atmosphere. In a well-ventilated space like this, the environmental risk does not seem to justify the visual and social trade-off. Rather than providing reassurance, the persistent masking may unintentionally signal that the environment is unsafe or that management is out of step with current provincial health guidelines, where masking is now a personal choice rather than a mandate. Final verdict: Food & Service: 5/5 Ambience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 -- as the current aesthetic feels more like a relic of 2020 than a leader in 2026 hospitality.

I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point.
