    I've driven by this place often. 'Hidden Gem", imo since you can blow past this place with the small parking lot out front. AND it's been around for years. Do know why I didn't come in sooner. This will change. Find parking on the Main street in this area could prove challenging, or just go into the 'hidden' pay park lot behind the restaurant, less than 2-3 houses away. You can walk off some-of-the meal when leaving. I will say just one thing that will get you there. Asian Comfort food and seafood. Winning combo imo. The simple "pick-your-flavour (favourite) items" menu keeps things easy; AND best of all 'early bird and departure' discounts. Im NOT going to complain. What to recommend... Naw, you can figure your choices out easily. It's all good. Making another pitstop there real soon. Maybe I'll see you there.

    I came here recently as part of a large weeknight group dinner. It's a small-ish place, but surprisingly even on a Wed night it was full. I'm sure it gets even busier on the weekends. Anyone who knows me knows I love my family-style Cantonese dinners! They're my go-to for special occasions and I always appreciate a good meal with fresh seafood, meat, and veggies. It was my first time at Haiyi. Overall I thought the dishes were good but not amazing, and my favorites were the fresh seafood. Here's what we had (** mark my favorites): Fried tofu **Squab **Russian king crab cooked 3 ways - steamed, stirfried, and the shell was served with fried rice topped with seafood curry **Ling cod cooked 2 ways - casserole with tofu and pork, stirfried fillet with peas Curry shrimp Chicken stuffed with glutinous rice Stir fried beans Stir fried beef and eggplant Sweet and sour pork **Dessert (complimentary): black sesame pudding, small almond cookies, osmanthus jelly We ordered way too much food, and our table had plenty of leftovers to take home. The whole meal wasn't cheap, especially with all the seafood. We ended up paying $110 pp after tax and tip. There's apparently underground parking which I wasn't aware of until other people told me. I parked 2 blocks away on 30th with free residential parking, but there's metered parking available closer to the restaurant as well.

    A hole in the wall restaurant with a good senior following. Dimsum is average but price is very cheap and reasonable. Table service is available. Went to dinner and food made you full. Order $50 worth of food and you get half a soya chicken free. Their soya chicken is yummy! (And have to request)

    Premium Japanese Abalone, Fish Maw + Pea Tip

    We came here for the abalone as it was highly recommended. Ordered the premium Japanese abalone per person and holy molly! It was delicious. The sauce was perfectly flavoured and the restaurant added some very fresh fish maw and pea tip to accompany this dish. The abalone was cooked perfectly and every bite was super satisfying. We then had the groupa fish made in 2 styles. 1) steamed Cantonese style with a very delicious steamed fish sauce atop with finely chopped ginger and green onion 2) stir fry sliced groupa with medley veggies. We had green bean soup with seaweed and almond cookies to end the dinner. Yum! An amazing dinner overall. Would love to come here for dim sum soon!

    We sooo envy people living along or close to Main St just cos of all the dining options available . If one were to try every single restaurant on Main it'll take . . . I dunno . . . Months ? ! A favourite of ours is Haiyi . Sure they're slightly pricey for the area but they do deliver on good if not great Cantonese fare . A recent discovery is their hand-chopped , minced pork pie with preserved veg which you have to preorder and it's totally worth the hassle . And yes their Alaskan King crab is absolutely divine ! !

    Recently referred by a family friend to try this restaurant, as the Chef is supposedly from Taste Good Seafood Restaurant on Marine Drive, one of his signature dish is the Crispy Chicken with Sticky Rice, he is also famous for his Double Boiled Chicken and Pig Tripe Soup. As we passed by the neighbourhood, we stopped by to try their Dim Sum lunch, we came at around 12:30pm on a Thursday and the dining room was semi busy, we got a table right away. Dim Sum menu is your regular fare, nothing jumped out. All the dim sum were done with above average standard, I would say this would be good alternative to come as it would be easier to get a table more so then others around the area. After looking around for other items they are promoting: such as Sea Bass in a Hot Pot, Fresh Lobster and of course their Crispy Chicken with Sticky Rice, Haiyi will be on my list for a Chinese Dinner gathering with friends. Just to see if indeed the Chef has kept his skills from the previous restaurant he made famous!!

    Christmas dim sum for us! First time for dim sum and everything was as expected. Fresh Chinese doughnuts wrapped in rice noodles was good (not overnight ones). The shrimp rice noodles were tasty. Their turnip rice cake could have been pan fried a bit more so it gets that nice crispness to contrast the creamy inside. Deep fried shrimp salad rolls were crispy and mayo-y on the inside. One of the better ones that I've tried. How the har gow? Delicious! Big pieces of shrimp with a thin rice wrap. All in all, a solid dim sum experience!

    Came here for a family dinner. Parking is available in the lot in front of the building, as well as on the side streets. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious. They have partitions for private events as well. Looks like they've renovated recently. Staff were friendly and professional. Food was overall quite tasty. No complaints. Consistent with all the other Chinese restaurants out there. Quality is quite good. See photos. Pricing was very reasonable as well, at under $20 a person.

    This is an update to my previous review. I had to change the star rating from 4 to 3 stars. My second time going there was not as good as my first time. There is some inconsistency in the chef's culinary skill. Guess it depends on his mood. Also it does take a long time for the food to come out. Guess I won't be going there any more. ------- I am surprised about this place. You really have to try their specialty crab. Its very flavourful. I would say the rating would be a 4 stars due to flavor and reason why its not a 5 is because the meat was over cooked (or maybe its just so with the crab we ordered). It's definitely getting there to be a 5. Also if you dine in here monday to friday, the crab is $20 each. The other dishes we ordered: Braised spareribs Pumpkin + Seafood Soy Sauce Chicken Every dish was very tasty. I really liked it. Very authentic and the chef is really skilled in his culinary art. The restaurant is kind of small. So its not like they have a lot of tables. Have to come early and make sure you make a reservation. As well, parking is limited in their parking lot. Good thing is that there are free parking spots on the street.

    We ordered three dishes and it was more than enough food for three of us. Some items on the menu didn't have English translation. I had Cantonese speakers with me to translate, but I wish they had English translation on the menu. Rice in Clay Pot - minced pork and octopus on rice in clay pot $35.20 $8.80 for one order and min. 4 orders There was so much rice in the clay pot. I recommend ordering this if you have 6+ people. Scallops & Eggplant dish $23.80 (I'm not sure what the actual name of this dish is because there was no English translation on the menu) The eggplant was very flavorful and I loved it! I will definitely order this dish again! Beef and Vegetables with rice noodles $16.80 This was such a good deal! Very generous portion which can feed multiple people!! The pic was taken after serving three plates (almost forgot to take a pic.) We shared all three dishes amongst the three of us and we have leftovers for the next 3 meals!!

    This was good

    This place was not to bad in terms of their food. They were kind enough to try to accommodate us with our noodle request but missed the target with the type of noodle they used. I appreciated the effort. It is more on the pricer side. We were craviNg for the small deep fried silver fish. They do not serve that during dinner time. I believe it was just for morning. Here is what we ordered: please was about a little less then $150 for three people. Parking is a bit tough. They do have underground parking but it didn't look as safe to park after a day of shopping. So there is outside parking where it is visible. We had fried rice which was obviously finished before I could take a photo! But it's definitely a spot for drinking as well.

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.

Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too! I love eggplant, especially the stuffed ones. The sauce paired very well and was simply satisfying. Mushroom Noodles: This was honestly a hot mess and hot miss.

Either we got lucky missing out on the liveliness, or all the aunties with tea left before we arrived.

    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.
