    Despite the busy line, we love the convenience of waiting inside the mall for this restaurant. The place is pretty clean and bright our table was quite spacious. Ordered the usual famous dishes like pan fried pork buns, xiaolong bao, stir fry eggplants with green beans, stir fry noddles, and kung pao chicken. Service was speedy but not impolite. The dishes were alright. I think seasoning could be a bit stronger in my opinion but it was still a pleasant meal. The buns and bao maintained their juiciness although I think we prefer those found in Crystal Mall better in terms of the broth flavour.

    Osmanthus is located at 4151 Hazelbrige Way, Aberdeen Center, Richmond, BC Food: delicious and tasty. Long time didn't have such a great Shanghai style dishes. Service: Waitress is "almost" aside to serve each table. Ambiance: At no doubt

    "At Osmanthus, we invite you to embark on an exquisite culinary expedition that traces its roots back to the glorious era of the Song Dynasty. Our traditional Chinese restaurant is a haven for connoisseurs of fine dining, where we meticulously craft Jiangnan dishes that pay homage to the rich history and flavours of this enchanting region. " - an except from their website. Well said! This place showcases unique dishes that are much elevated and delicately prepared. Ambiance is modern Chinese with tables covered with white linens. Unlike typical Chinese restaurants, servers are quite careful in setting the table. We asked for fork and knife and they were placed nicely for each of us. Food is very good using expensive ingredients to elevate taste. We had their: Honey Glazed Prawn in Crispy Pastry $36.95 蜜汁酥皮蝦 Braised Big Yellow Croaker with Fish Maw $68.95家燒花膠大黃鱼 Song's Dongpo Pork $19.95 宋式東坡肉 Stewed Pork's Stomach with Mushrooms $22.95 豬肚燴筃菇 Egg White and Shrimp Stir-Fry $28.95 賽螃蟹 There are more dishes on their menu worth trying. So will be back for sure.

    Unique Chinese food that I haven't tried before. Soy rice. Fried fish. Weird shaped green beans. All were excellent. Especially like the mapo tofu. Surprisingly cheap at $4! Clean restaurant and well run. It gets extremely busy so get a reservation.

    Came back here and brought my dad along as well this time. There is a mapo tofu dish in the menu for $3.95. We thought it was a typo but it wasn't! We checked with their staff and they told us that that is the price. We, of course, ordered it. We went at 5:30 pm and the place was already packed! It was a good thing that I made reservation earlier in the week. If you plan your go, make sure you make reservations just in case.

    Fantastic food, at least for the comfort food that I ordered. The food I ordered are not intricate but food I would be happy eating every day. Decor is a standard, nice chinese restaurant. Service is the same as most Chinese restaurant - don't expect way too much but the staff is polite. Food highlights: Steam dumpling: tasty and good soup, but the wrap can be a tad thinner Vinegar short ribs - excellent, esp with a bowl of rice, well balance of salt and vinegar Vermicelli claypot - one of the best i had ... so light on oil and so tasty Steam scallops - ok and a good price Friend pork buns - this is a bit average and not my first choice

    Very good shanghai restaurant! Delicious and authentic 因为很久没有回国一直想吃口地道点的菜。桂总体体验非常好,口味接近于小时候的一些饭店,非常感动[哭惹R] 响油鳝丝:酱的味道感觉对,可能是因地制宜所以用了洋葱炒,但大体感觉对。需要把葱蒜拌匀,最好再加点白胡椒粉拌匀。 腌笃鲜:因地制宜用了青笋而不是冬笋,但是口味很好。 (早餐)鲜肉月饼:酥皮是我喜欢的质感!口味总体很好! 龙井虾仁:喜欢!我一般稍微淋一点点醋吃 蟹粉小笼:确实是蟹粉的!喜欢!蘸醋 宋嫂鱼羹:喜欢,清淡鲜甜汤 鳕鱼熏鱼:第一次尝试鳕鱼做的熏鱼,酱汁口味很好,总体口感很好 小圆子:很大一碗,两人慎点 (早餐)苏式老卤面:是食堂、一般面馆会吃到的苏式面!早上吃了暖胃,排骨的味道不错 豆浆:甜的版本略甜... 非常推荐!

    Came across Osmanthus while we walked around looking for somewhere to sit down and have lunch. We decided to give it a try as it was a new restaurant that we both haven't been to before and there was no line up. Food was definitely more fusion but same authentic flavours! We loved everything we ordered. And the staff were really nice ( I had a screaming baby and a toddler running around the whole time -- sorry!!) the kids loved the food too!

    $3.95 mapo tofu steal this place in Aberdeen is newly opened and serves up quite the variety. And not to mention a huge steal for mapo tofu lovers! The tofu was mala and super delicious and soft and paired so well with the rice! They even have a ton of other dishes worth trying! * Fresh meat xiao long bao($11.95) was delicious and light and the skin wasn't too thick, the soup was perfectly flavoured too! * Shanghai stir fried noodles with three shredded ingredients ($18.95) ~ bomb I really enjoyed these noodles they were bouncy and very flavourful! I'd come back to get these again for sure! * We also got their: - Song dongpo pork ($19.95) - Golden sand organic prawn ($28.95) - Eggplant with garlic sauce ($16.95) - Handmade pine cake ($11.95) ~ we got the purple sweet potato jujube paste and the pumpkin one - Steam rice ($2.50) * Overall this was such a delicious meal and I'm definitely coming back to try more!

The food was authentic Cantonese dim sum, everything we ordered tasted fresh and exactly like the dim sum I grew up eating. We especially enjoyed the har gow, steamed beef tripe, bean curd rolls, turnip cake, and chicken feet. The whole restaurant also had such an authentic Hong Kong/Cantonese atmosphere. Pretty much everyone around us (both the staff and customers) was speaking Cantonese, which made it feel like we had stepped into a traditional dim sum restaurant back in Hong Kong. Great food, great atmosphere, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese dim sum, Fisherman's Terrace is absolutely worth a visit!

We went around thirty minutes after opening and only had to wait a few minutes - but we could see a line brewing after we got seated! The tables are seated very tightly so it's a game of Unblock Me when you or the table next to you need to get up for whatever reason. However, the furniture and decor (and the chandeliers!) do remind me of banquet dinners. They do all the classics well, the star being this black sesame filled sesame bun (that was akin to tongyuan) that was a crowd favorite at our table.

Portion sizes and price point felt standard for Richmond. I thought it was cute that they also put the teapots on a candle stand to keep it warm. For 5 people, the total cost with tip was around $40 per person. Unfortunately, the only thing that fell short was the long wait we had to endure despite having made a reservation. We booked a reservation for 12:45pm, but because of the overwhelming weekend rush, we were not sat until 1:30pm. I understand that the restaurant was quite busy, but it certainly made the experience a little less enjoyable. There were also lots of people waiting in the area and the hostess found it hard to identify which groups were waiting and which had already checked in. I'm not sure if I'd return as there are so many other great dimsum places in Richmond that may not cost as much of a wait.

Hei Hei Rice Roll is legit good, totally recommend, even my daughter too, I thought of her ( since she LOVES rice roll and couldn't make it on this trip with me) while enjoying these roll but when I shared with her the photos and mention that we will go back here with her- she already visited. She said it was so good! Hei Hei Rice Roll is located at the Richmond Public Market, oh wow - this place is really popular, on the 2nd visit I was the first in line then the line wasn't so long but while waiting for our order, the line got super long. I was lucky I didn't wait long in line. Best to arrive early. I am not sure what the secret to the rice roll but Wow, it's so thin, silky, smooth texture with the toppings, so great together. The last 2 times we had rice roll with my daughter at Portland and Seattle- followed per Instagram reels- those did not even compare to these rolls. My first visit I got the combo which is the best deals, starts at $15.50 but depends on what you select for the selection for rice rolls and congee. I got the pork & preserved egg congee, shrimp, mushroom, pork rice roll. The 2nd visit I got the combo again, with liver & preserved egg congee, scallop and shrimp rice rolls, but I got my order wrong for the roll- they missed the shrimp. fyi-I found out that bean sprout, corn, toppings are free! Both combo came out to $17. super cheap! Cash only, they take USD but its the same dollar $ value. I wish they take credit cards, hehe. & the Verdict: Yummy, the congee hits the spot for comfort food, loved how it is cooked and they add peanuts too. Love the packet of sauce for the rice rolls, the umami-ness, so good. Best to eat it hot and fresh! Don't forget to ask for chili sauce, to add that extra spicy kick! For now, I am not sure I'll ever find a spot that is closest to Hei Hei for my congee and rice roll fix until I get to visit Richmond, BC again.

(Richmond is the location to be, we don't like the Vancouver location due to previous incident) We made a reservation two days before, and were immediately seated when we arrived. (11am for lunch). The place was maybe less than half full at the time, but was pretty full by the time we finished. The whole restaurant felt clean and comfortable. We were hoping for an 8 lb king crab (or less) as there were only five of us including two kids that ended up not really eating much of the crab (as expected), and the smallest they had was over 9 lbs, no big deal let's go! We had the king crab three way, garlic steamed for the legs, salt & pepper for the joints, and the rest was made into a fried rice. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, our cravings were truly satisfied.

The dim sum was good, they had a couple things I haven't seen in So Cal like Baked shredded radish so I had to give it a try - it was very good! If you plan on having leftovers, do what the locals do and bring your own container. Otherwise they charge you 50 cents for a takeaway box.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Dim Sum in Vancouver is simply on a higher level. * * * The largest concentration of utterly amazing places are in Richmond rather than Vancouver itself ... Although Vancouver has hundreds and hundreds of places to die for. So to say Richmond offers better choices than Vancouver is something you have to experience yourself to understand. Just go to Richmond and walk in anywhere. We have done a lot of that in past trips and we did a lot of that this trip. It is food orgasm every time. * * * Chef Tony's shows up on a lot of Best of Vancouver lists as do many many other places. If this place were in my home city, Austin, or even in San Francisco, there would be lines out the door. It is a smallish place with an overwhelmingly Chinese older clientele. When we were there, the World Cup Final was on with Spain playing Argentina. Half the tables - generally men - were watching. The elderly ladies at the other tables had their back to the TV and were continuing their conversation. * * * This is an order by menu place rather than take your chances on the carts. Given Chef Tony's small size, there would be unacceptable wastage on a rotating cart system. Frankly, Chef Tony's turned me into a convert on the order-exactly-what-you-want system. Seeing carts that look good, stuffing your face and then seeing the carts you really want is an all-too-common experience in dim sum places. * * * Everything we had was to die for.

The lobster was also cooked perfectly. We also got a scallop, morel, asparagus stir fry, which was a nice and light dish, also generously portioned.
