The dim sum in Canada is so much better than the dim sum in the states. The portion sizes are larger and it is much cheaper. I was able to get all the dishes below in my pictures for less than $100 US including tip and tax which is not possible in the US. Everything we ordered was delicious. The egg tarts are so much better than in the states. The custard is smooth and the crust is flaky. The eggplant was done well with a nice portion of shrimp paste. The chive and shrimp dumplings were huge! One was equivalent to the size of 4 in the US. The bean curd sheets were nicely crisp and fried. The mochi dumplings were nice and chewy with yummy savory filling. All the steamed dumplings were nice and with fresh shrimp. This restaurant was in a strip mall with a decent sized parking lot. Service was quick. And again, keep in mind that this is a typical Chinese restaurant so cleanliness and upkeep is not their strong suit. read more

I came here for a banquet style dinner with a large group. We had mostly non-seafood dishes, so take take this with a grain of salt given that this is supposed to be a seafood restaurant. Too many dishes to recall all of them, but definitely tried: peking duck 2 courses (lettuce wrap, and the "tacos") fried battered squid - large sweet/sour ribs sweet/sour pork chop stir fried pea tips with garlic broccoli/mushroom/fungus casserole special chicken with ginger/onion sauce yee mein fried rice - not sure which one it was. it was yellow. hot/sour soup red bean soup dessert I think there were a couple more things but I dont remember. Overall the food was good. Not the best in town, but everything pretty solid, well seasoned. Rice could use more wok hey. No dish was bad. Pricing seemed quite fair. Restaurant was relatively newer and cleaner on the inside as far as these types of places go. Theres a sizeable parking lot out back, free, which is great. Service was fine. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad. Overall, pretty solid 4/5 traditional canto banquet place. Kind of all-around place, no particular aspects stood out. I would come back. read more

Ok, so I came here cuz my parents in law said it was cheap. It wasn't cheaper than other comparable dim sum options in Vancouver - not than say Sun Sui Wah- but they have some great and unique dishes. In particular: - the beef brisket noodles was AMAZING. The sauce - and the noodles - my goodness. It's hard to describe - the noodles have a really.interestng texture. - chicken knee cartilage - I just love this. It's something I've only had regularly since coming to Vancouver. - duck webbed feet - these are so good - salted egg crispy fish skin - love this - stuffed eggplant - superb. Crispy, juicy. Everything was really big sized and really good quality. Would highly recommend. The only thing is the line can be long but you can call in. (Still have to wait a tiny bit). Will be coming back. read more

Can this Garden touch my heart (dim sum)..? I have been coming here for both dinner and dim sum over the years ever since it first opened. Just like many others, I haven't gotten around to review it. This Chinese seafood restaurant is located a block east of Gilley Ave on Kingsway in Burnaby. It has a private parking lot shared with a couple of other small eatery places. I haven't been here for over a year or two, let's see how the food in this Garden is now. Here were the food I ordered; 1. Salted spareribs with preserved vegetables congee. It was okay, pretty basic compared to other places. 2. Special prawn dumpling. The skin was nice and prawns had a nice clean fresh taste. However, pretty basic like most places. 3. Steamed chicken feet with special sauce. A must order dish doesn't matter which place I go to for dim sum. The chicken feet were large, skins were tender and falls off the bone, the sauce was pretty moderate. Decently okay. 4. Steamed mixed meat and peanut dumplings. Once again pretty basic dumpling dish since ancient times. 5. Deep fried crab claws. Used to love them when I was a kid. These ones weren't so good. Had that hard crumb texture on the outside and inside missing that juicy shrimp and fatty pork fusion taste. 6. Steamed rice rolls with beef. The rice rolls could be a bit thinner and silkier. 7. Steamed egg yolk bun. Not bad, the egg yolk was pretty creamy and rich. 8. Stir fried king prawns with eggplants. The prawns were pretty big and eggplants were stir fried the right amount to be soft and tender without breaking apart. Pretty tasty dish. Overall, the dim sum food was pretty basic here. Maybe because so many new restaurants became more creative with the dim sum menu over the years. The dim sum food quality is pretty basic here and the price is comparable to most higher end dim sum restaurants. As for the service, the servers and staffs here were okay. Nothing to complain or daydream about. The restaurant layout is pretty straightforward and clean with a spacious dining area to ensure comfortability for all diners. It's a decent local Chinese seafood restaurant for the neighborhood but I wouldn't go out of my way just to drive here for food. Unfortunately it only touched 3 stars of my heart. read more

Dim sum prices has gone skyrocketing in the last 2 years. Prices hover around $9 per dish as normal. Portion size is the same as before. I do have to say the portion size of their dim sum plate is not bad. Flavor was ok. Nothing special. They don't have a lot of dim sum options here and looks like many of their items are very standard dim sum that you find at many dim sum restaurants. The restaurant itself was very busy when we showed up on a Saturday (at around noon). Wait for a table without reservation was around 30 mins. There is a parking lot at the back but it was full and doesn't accomodate everyone dining at the restaurant. You pretty much have to find street parking. The restaurant itself is quite big and clean. I do like the decor here. Food was not bad. Everything was fresh and tasty. Only complain is that they were quite standard and average for a Chinese restaurant. Note that they charge for take out box and bags here. So, I don't recommend ordering take out here. This charge is not a requirement or city/municapality requirement because this Lee Garden is located in Burnaby and not in Vancouver. read more

was invited to lee garden seafood restaurant for sum dim in burnaby, located on kingsway and colborne. it's on a tiny strip mall with parking available in the back. the interior is higher end with chandeliers and table cloths instead of the flimsy, disposable white plastic table top covers. like most dim sum places nowadays, there's no pushcarts here either, you have to place your order on a piece of paper. solid, authentic, and tasty dim sum, with all the usual dumplings, spring rolls, sticky rice, and more, but left me thirsty. prices range from small $6.88 to large $9.88, and specials from $10.48 to $16.98. this place was packed on a monday at 1:00 pm. reservations were made in advance for a party of five and we were seated immediately. take out boxes and bags, additional.50 it's too bad they don't have my fave, 'woo kok', deep fried mashed taro stuffed with meat covered in a flakey layer of crust on the outside. read more

Good food. Service is excellent. Friendly environment. Best Chinese restaurant in Burnaby.

Almost forgot about this dim sum lunch I had back in February at Lee Garden! It was my first dine-in for dim sum in awhile. The tables were fairly spaced apart, and as it was a weekday morning, it wasn't as busy, which was nice. We ordered: 1. Sauteed Radish Cake with Spicy XO Sauce, Steamed Rice with Spare Ribs & Chicken Feet, 2. Steamed Pork Dumplings (Siu Mai), 3. Sticky Rice Wraps with Lotus Leaves, Lee Garden Special Prawn Dumplings (Har Gow), 4. Deep Fried Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (Ham Sui Gok), and 5. Pan Fried Rice Rolls in Soya. Everything was delicious! Definitely missed how dim sum tasted that wasn't takeout. I have also been here many years ago for a wedding, and I must say that it was one of my favourite 10-course meals that I've had at a wedding. I still remember it to this day. So good! Lee Garden is worth checking out. read more

Get ready for the price shocker on their food prices. I get it that it's Covid, but please - $23 for a plate of plain broccoli with garlic. That was their cheapest price. We also order vermicelli hot pot, shrimp and snow peas, along with seafood hot pot. We had been here before Covid and the food is still tasty. Their menu selection is about 1/3 of what they offered. Maybe fewer patrons due to Covid. They limit 6 people per table which is spaciously set apart. It's unlikely we'll be back. I didn't even check if there was a 'Covid' tax charge. read more

Horrible service. From front of house to staff. Nobody will acknowledge you as they are swamped with customers on weekends. You have to get their attention. Default language is Cantonese. So if you do not speak it, you may not understand what is going on. They will switch to English if you do not speak Cantonese. I received slightly better service after I saw one staff spoke in Mandarin to another customer, and I spoke to them in Mandarin. I was there on a weekend and I was told it would be an hour wait for a table. So I decided to order take out instead. I was told it would take 15-20 minutes so I waited. But the food was not ready after 20 minutes and the staff did not inform me, and I had to get their attention to ask them about it. It took a while for them to check on the status and was told it would be longer. I was not happy about it as I did not have the time to wait, and at the rate it would be ready, it could be 45 minutes. Then I might have as well waited the hour for a table instead. I told the staff that I could have been informed about the time before I placed the order. So she went back into the kitchen and came out with the food. I ordered the shrimp dumpling (har gow), BBQ pork bun and the chicken with rice and dates. The chicken dish was the one which required more time to be ready, and I could tell it was just 70% done. The rice was still hard, and the chicken was parts which could not be served in other dishes. It was all bones and had very little meat. The dish was already tasty if it was done well and if the chicken had more meat to it. Unfortunately it was a rush job so it was bad. The har gow was nice though the skin was of the thick kind. Same with the buns, Too much dough. I could see why it would be popular as there are not many decent dim sum restaurants in this area. The food is pricey for what you get. I think I will rather travel all the way to Vancouver or even Coquitlam for dim sum in future. The parking spots in the rear are tiny, mainly because most of the customers drive big vehicles. So be careful that your car does not get dinged. It may be safer to do street parking instead. read more

Lee Garden Seafood restaurant is located on Kingsway and Colborne Ave in Burnaby. My parents-in-laws doesn't like to Richmond for dim sum coz too far away and pricey dishes. Anyways, let's try Lee Garden. We didn't make any reservation but we arrived at 11ish. They were super busy and we waited over 20 mins before got seated. When I walked in, I saw huge dinning room with simple and causal interior. Scallops n pea shoots rice rolls - the rice roll freshly prepared but a bit thicker than what I used to. Spring rolls - it's just ok, nothing special. Steamed BBQ buns - too much sauce and chewy char siu, sweet savoury buns never be my favourite. Shrimps dumplings - the skin pretty thick and filling just ok. Steamed vegetables dumplings - fairly poor doughy! Thick skin and lack of filling Tripe and tendon - it's tasty but salty. dumplings in soup - bamboo putt, dried scallops, shrimps and a bit loose group pork, the broth heavy in MSG. Spareribs n chicken feet clay pot rice - spareribs pretty fatty and tiny. Chicken feet - it's juicy and flavourful Overall, the dim sum just average but slow service. Not good enough to make me return. read more

Been here a few times now so have a good idea of the place. I recommend making reservations because if you don't, you will be waiting a while for a table. DIM SUM If you come before 10am, you may be able to get a table. However it does get busy after that so be prepared to wait for the food too as hey also have less kitchen staff. The quality is about the same as before the pandemic. Dinner: The dishes seem a little smaller than before but it could be just me. The prices had gone up a little from before too. The quality is consistent so they have that going. The service is good, the staff come around just enough to ensure the tea and/or hot water pot is filled. There is lots of spacing between tables so that is good. Some other restaurants, it is the same as before COVID with no spacing between tables. At these this place takes it seriously. I'm not in the area that often but from the restaurants in the area, this may be good to try. read more

Post Covid, many Vancouver establishments have fallen a notch or two. Lee Garden was quite good in their Dim Sum Dept pre Covid, but now (July 2023), is just "ok". For anyone longing for the previous quality/pricing, seems like a dream now...shame, used to love this place back in 2019.... read more

I was in the area and stopped by for dim sum with family. I was surprised how busy the restaurant was on a weekday. I recommend you make a reservation or else you will have to wait around. We were seated right on time for our reservation, but saw a line up out the door. My other half was smart to tell me to call ahead of time if I wanted to eat dim sum. Prices are a bit higher than I last remembered for dim sum. I guess I have not eaten out in awhile and dim sum was now averaging $7-8 an item. Maybe because of covid pricing or cost of living? Food arrived fairly quickly and tasted good. The dim sum chef made some really good shrimp dumplings. The skin was thin but stayed intact. The shrimp quality was okay. The same can be said for the beef rice rolls. Overall, I was quite happy with my meal. read more

Went to Lee Garden for the first time to satisfy my dim sum craving and it's great location with plenty of space between table and variety of dishes. We ordered the classics Shrimp Dumplings and Beef Tripe and some not so traditional dishes as well like the Pan Fried Crystal Noodle, Pan Fried Bean Curd Sheet w/Shrimp & Pea Tips, Steamed Rice Roll w/ Crispy Fish Meat, and Deep Fried Crab Claw w/ Shrimp Paste. We enjoyed all of them especially the crystal noodles! It had a really nice bounce to the texture and a large generous plate! The crab claw would probably be the one dish I would skip next time though. The 'meat' was more of shrimp paste than your traditional chunky meaty shrimp in the crab claws! But I should have know better by the description as it did say 'shrimp paste'! Service was very attentive which is not so common for busy Chinese restaurants! Overall a good choice for a dim sum visit! read more

The low quality, shady restaurant that went by the name of Grand Buffet is finally no more. In its place, my wish has been fulfilled as a new dim sum restaurant has taken its place. Hello, Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant. The layout is long and curved with chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows all along one side. It's a great place to beat the summer heat because they are not cheap with using air conditioning. I almost had to go home to grab a light sweater. Service was excellent and the washrooms are clean. As with all new Chinese restaurants, the quality of food is high and the prices are reasonable. One can only hope it stays that way for as long as possible. read more

Covid-19 has obviously hit restaurants hard financially, so it was exciting to see some businesses opening up in the last month or 2. Dim Sum is not really something that can be easily replicated at home so being able to finally sit down and dine in at a restaurant was great! Lee Garden has now been open for a while and seems to have figured how to smoothly run a busy Chinese restaurant during these unprecedented times. All staff are masked, the place is well spaced out with a lot of room between tables (a very strange experience since most Chinese restaurants during non-pandemic times are packed in with little space between tables), and it's very clean. Now, non of that matters if the food sucks, right? Reader, the food does not suck. Yes, the menu is smaller than normal, but the options are still plentiful. I usually order the same few items when I'm here for Dim Sum: - Pan fried bean curd with shrimp and pea tips - Pan fried eggplant with shrimp paste - Siu Mai Dumplings - Pan fried rice noodles with beef and greens The food is always good. Prices are reasonable. Portions are good. Food is properly seasoned. Is this the absolute best Chinese food/dim sum you can find around town? LOL, no. Is is good Chinese food at decent prices in an area typically short on good Chinese places that don't cater to the "sweet and sour pork and egg foo young" crowd (looking at you, Mr Ho)? YES! So, if you're hankering for dim sum, eat at Lee Garden. read more

Not exactly a 4 star but close. Go before 10am if you want to avoid over 1 hour waiting time for dim sum. Food quality is very consistent and ambience is great. Average cost above $25 per head, a little on high end. Also, they need to be more generous with tea. It looks and taste pretty much like water after first pot of refill. I don't mind paying for tea but it has to be good. read more

This "new" dim sum/ seafood restaurant used to be the "Grand Buffet" which has been struggled to survive in Burnaby for years.... It was just night & day difference when LG takes over, there's always a huge line up for tables especially on weekends before noon. There must be a reason when so many people are willing to pay extra for decent food in my opinion. LG is one of them. The overall experience is present. I really enjoy the low fat & low sodium & no msg recipe. You won't find much greasy oil left on the emptied plates after the food was consumed. The service is no complain and with the ample private parking lot, I believe I would be regular in the coming future.... read more

It's clean and cosy with bright coming in through the tall glass window. The food is good . A good place for gatherings.

Another weekend, another dim sum lunch. Here's what we had: Fun gor - Pretty good. Skin was just right, not overly thick. Filings were okay but I think could use a little more flavor. Har gow - Very well done. Excellent skin and filling. No noticeable frozen taste. Shrimp spring rolls - Pastry was fine but just needs a lot more shrimp. Much smaller than the super long variety you see at dim sum places usually. Sticky rice wraps - This is the multi grain variety that you see in some places. Unfortunately, the rice was a little too hard which kind of ruined it. Steamed duck feet with taro - A letdown. Bland and overcooked which resulted in a tough texture. Steamed BBQ pork buns - Textbook execution. Perfectly fluffy and slightly sweet pastry with a generous serving of barbecue pork on the inside. Overall, not a bad place for dim sum when it comes to the food but service can be very slow. Parking is also an issue on weekends and if you don't have a reservation, expect a very long wait. Nevertheless, a decent choice in the area if you don't go at peak periods or don't mind the wait. read more

Seafood fresh and delicious. Vegetable crisp. Desert was OK. Overall quite impressive.

Two of my friends and I came here for dim sum on a Sunday afternoon. We put our name down at 12pm and it was about a 20-30 minute wait. There is a church nearby on the same block and we can tell a lot of church goers were having dimsum at this hour. This restaurant has nice AC and tables and seating area were fancier than other dim sum places I have been to. To order, you write on the sheet of paper and the paper has both english and chinese so it was perfect for us as we can only read english. The food was overall decent and all the dishes were piping hot which is great. You can tell they werent sitting out in the cold before getting served to our table. The price for the dishes seems to be about average for dim sum restaurants these days. They have a parking lot but it was very busy so we all had to settle for street parking in the neighbourhood. read more

2.9 Stars There is free parking all around the area and a small lot in the back of the restaurant, which is the front of the restaurant. First impressions, well lit (big chandeliers), big restaurant, lots of seating, but they cram it in. When other patrons or severs walk between tables, they brush up or kick your seats. We decided to go for xmas day dim sum, so expected a wait. We walked in around 1045am needing a table for 6 people and the hostess said it will be a 30min wait. It did take 30mins give or take a little. We ordered the typical spread at dim sum. Har gow, sui mai, chicken feet, rice rolls, etc. Everything was tasty but a little on the salty side for my liking. Service wasn't good. - As soon as the hostess took us to our table, she let us know that we have 1.5 hours to eat and pay. - My seat had food scraps from the last people at our table. - Took a long time to refill our tea and water. - Didn't cut one of our rice roll dishes. - Brought out bill out without us even asking for it. Overall Experience: Service - 4.5/10 Cleanliness - 7/10 Food - 7/10 Value - 5.4/10 Parking - 7.5/10 read more

Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant - Someone was a messy eater. - Dim Sum Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I think I have found the dimsum place I would like to go on a weekly basis. Lee garden is fit snugly in burnaby. It has street parking and a parking lot as well. Decorated w tanks of fresh seafood for you to eat, mandarin orange trees and modern decor. They have over 40 tables and don't take any reservations for dimsum so expect to wait at least 20 min on a busy day if not more. Try their special queen bun - gwai fai bao. It is like a steamed BBQ bun that is savory and sweet because the bun portion is like a sweet coconut bun that you find in Chinese bakeries. It's amazing! I love it so much. I crave it. Their ribs, shrimp dumpling, porc dumpling, steamed rice noodles, stone pot rice and their congee are amazing. Need to order them each time. I love how they even have the traditional dishes as well. Forget about the fancy dimsum places in Richmond or Kirin in downtown. Come to Lee Garden before you settle into any one dimsum place. read more

Had dimsum here a few weeks after a dinner here with Dragon girl and my family. I've got to say the dim sum is very affordable and the quality is definitely there. I would say the only qualm I have is with the level of msg in the food, as both Dragon girl and I felt very fatigued and gross after our meal. The dim sum came to just under $40 for four of us and we were filled by the end. read more

I like the shrimp roll and milk egg bun. Shrimp were tender and fresh. The veggie (bean sprouts) was delicious and light flavored which made me feel fresh. The rice roll was just so-so. Chicken feet was decent. Not any special. The crab claw was around by shrimp which was like bigger with crunchy surface. The crab meat was very limited. We went there at 10 am. There were plenty of parking. But my friends told us there will be very crowded after 11 am. Cannot split order. 17.25 per person. I will give 3.5/5. read more

We come here a lot for dim sum, no complaints. We have come here for a few banquet dinners and they had decent portions and standard quality. The last dinner we went to cost $500. Small tiny portions over priced and everyone left hungry and extremely thirsty. I find this place pretentious and will not be returning. More humble places would give you more value for your money. read more

Not all dim sum places are created equal - there really is such a thing as 'bad' dim sum! Thankfully, Lee Garden is pretty solid. I come here often with my family for 'yum cha' when I visit back home for the weekend. You will rarely find a time when it is NOT busy for dim sum on the weekend; I recommend making a reservation regardless of how many are in your party. They have the usual dim sum fare, and quality is good. For something a bit different, try the baked BBQ pork buns (not the steamed ones); they are a little more special than the usual BBQ pork buns and are little pockets of buttery heaven! read more
