We couldn't get a table at another restaurant and opt for this one and man im glad we did! We walked in with a group of 10 and didn't have to wait long on a Saturday. We got the typical dimsum order, chicken feet, haw gao, siu mai, cheung fun. Everything was on point, if not one of the best quality dims i've had and i've been to HK! The baked goods were OK. The In-laws were going HAM on the wonton wrapped shrimp saying its the best they ever had. They have a parking structure and they validate, but also parking is free for 2h if you register. Whenever i'm back in Vancouver, id definitely swing back around! read more

My family had our Chinese New Year Eve/Reunion dinner here. We ordered the meal for 10 people priced at $588. This was a very good price given many other places are charging over $1000. The place was a full house when we went. Every dish was super delicious. The set meal came with: 1) Peking Duck with Pita Wrap 2) Minced Chicken and Fish Maw Soup 3) Sauteed Lobster (2) in Supreme Sauce 4) Braised Dried Oyster with Pig's Tongue (10 pcs) 5) Braised Pork Belly 6) Sauteed Prawn & Chicken with Greens 7) Diced Duck Lettuce Wrap 8) Sauteed and Fried Fish Fillet 9) Golden Seafood Fried Rice 10) Petit Sesame Paste The quality was great. My favorite dish was the braised pork belly and Peking duck wrap. We preordered the set beforehand. The decor was decent. read more

Parkhill Seafood Restaurant is a deluxe version of Empire Seafood Restaurant that they are under the same group of management. They are very busy today because of the long weekend. The baked pineapple bun is a little bit burnt. But everybody in our dim sum group loves the pineapple bun so much and therefore is excusable. Haha! But the sauce of the Foochow fried rice is so salty although we put a note in our order and the manager has requested the rice need less salt per customer. The outstanding item today is the deep fried minced pork taro root pastry. It's so crispy and delicious! Our dessert is steamed glutinous rice stuffed with red bean topped with syrup. It is a must here! Next time I will make sure the order of baked tapioca pudding with sweetened taro root paste. The manager told us it was sold out today! What a disappointment! Learn a lesson today to make sure reserve one order before we come. read more

Can't say much for the service - but the food is great! Excellent items and a wide variety of dimsum and food that is on par with large cities with a high Chinese population. We had a private room with 20 people so we definitely had the typical challenges of large parties. However, the food came out quite quickly and tasted fresh and with excellent quality. The reason I mention the service is that when we asked for napkins we were told that they couldn't help us because that was another staff member! It was okay because we brought our own extra tissue paper (ha read more

We met up with some friends for dinner and ordered a special set for $88 for 3 dishes but there's also a stipulation to add 2 more dishes from the regular menu. For the set...we chose the stir fry fresh ling cod, clay pot w/cod belly and tossed chicken in truffle sauce. Other 2 dishes we added are braised prawns w/leeks+ Ong Choi w/ beef. They used less salt and less oil so that's much healthier if one dines out frequently! Our reservation was for 5:30 so very quiet and peaceful. Attentive service, changed plates frequently, teapot always full. Good value for price paid...esp. we had a few dishes of seafood, they also have a special on for lobster at $20/lb for a two and half pound critter. read more

Parking - A pay to park - Shared underground garage parking. Price was reasonable but, can also get validated. Food = Reasonably good but not push carts. It seems more like, pre-made/pre-frozen and heat up type dim sum. Price = Ordered 5 items which came out to a shy of $50 USD / $68.91 CAD. The crux = When we walked in, the welcome was literally not there. We had to get the hostess's attention and, even-so she was not attentive to answer our questions on a simple. About how long the wait is. Then Asking about the parking, she didn't' even seem to know how to work their self-serve machine regarding the parking. My wife had to use the washroom so went head and I wait another 20 mins; mind you after we had waited for about 20 mins already so; about 40ish mins of wait time. After that, some other lady came up and tell me by the restroom which was already another flag regarding attentiveness and customer service. My wife came out and had to request another spot, which the lady didn't seem to be cordgial or happy to do. We got placed an another table that was free the whole time and away from the restroom. We got seated, and I had to wait another 5-10 mins to be asked for anything. Which I already wasn't too fond of. I talked to a man which apparently was the manager - I told him can we get some help on the drink or menu. He asked me if I want tea or water. I said tea and he asked what kind (this was good). Waited about 10 mins later, it then came. I had to ask again can we order? We had filled out our menu. Another lady came and took our list. After about 40 - my wife and I asked. What is taking so long for our 5 items to come out? 45 mins later, the manager came back and said it will be here in a few more mins. Again, this is Dim sum, and if it was in Hong Kong, the etiquette is check up and make sure it's here under 10-15 mins. To prevent a novel now. I will just say that - the overall experience: Was poor! The huge downfall to this place is the service. It is not up to par and felt lacking. There was no positive level of hospitality and management to make this food business run efficiently and to align true to the concept of Hong Kong "Dim sum". For a good business to thrive. The customer service is very important especially if you are to be efficient, effectve communication, and respectful services - while taking consideration of the customer. The one good thing that allowed me to give 1 star was the food. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE read more

Visited Toronto in April and couldn't get into Kirin on a Wednesday five minutes after they opened! So we ' went across the street and decided to try Parkhill. The restaurant was not busy, unlike Kirin. We were told it was tax season. They also offered 10% off on weekday mornings before 11am, and some special lunch items. Everything we ordered was very tasty and solid. We had the shrimp dumplings,, Siu Mai, beef rice rolls, egg tart, sausage and spare ribs on rice, bean tip leaves with dried scallops and enoki mushrooms, and pan seared vermicelli with beef and bitter melon and pickled cabbage. The vermicelli was our favorite, really delicious! We saw their special on king crab: $398 with purchase of two other dishes. I asked about the weight of the king crabs and was told they were about 7 pounds. That's cheaper than supermarket price! So we decided to go back for dinner. The three of us had a 7-pound king crab cooked two ways (steamed legs and claws with garlic, and deep fried body with salt and pepper); half a steamed boneless chicken with Virginia ham, shiitake mushrooms, and tender green 金華玉樹鷄; and a stir fried Ling cod fillet with Chinese broccoli. They were all really delicious and very good value. Although I still think that Kirin has better dim sum (we made a reservation and went back on a different day) and service, Parkhill is a good, solid alternative with really good value. Service was decent, they just didn't have a lot of bodies. I do recommend Parkhill for dim sum and for dinner. read more

I went to this restaurant for Dim Sum. The quality was good and I tried some dim sum I haven't tried before. This time I ordered the hand-sliced chicken meat salad. That was tasty. Their other dim sum taste delicious too. read more

This place is a little bit pricy but the food quality is amazing. We came here at lunch time for dim sum. All the dishes we tried were tasty. The BBQ pork bun was yummy and soft. It would be even better if they could put a bit more filling inside. Shrimp dumplings were perfect, both the flavouring and the skin texture. The fried noodles with beef was superb too. The shrimp with tofu was also perfect. The steamed rice noodle was alright, nothing wowing. The BBQ pork pastry was a bit soft though, not crispy enough. Overall, the dining environment was comfortable with delicious food provided here. The only thing they could fix was the washroom. Both the door lock and the toilet flush were broken. read more

My husband and I went to Richmond, Canada for a Labor Day long weekend. We were expecting great Chinese dim sum food. We walked in. They said waiting time 10-20 minutes. They offered free parking service at parking garage. First they gave us a table next to the bathroom. We asked to change table. The server was upset and told us to wait for them to set up. We were ready to order. No one was taking care of checking orders. We had to wait to place food order. The manager got us order. After waiting for long 45 minutes, our 5 food items never came. We asked the manager to check. Finally, after almost waiting for an hour, they finally gave us our shrimp dumplings, Abalone soup dumplings, Hong Kong style rice rolls, pork steamed dumplings etc. The server looked mad and annoyed when bringing our orders to our table. Gave us a bad stare and attitude. Overall, the food was not bad. However, really bad customer service. We'll not come back anymore. We don't recommend this restaurant! read more

Always an enjoyable meal when I'm visiting the area. I love the food of Southern China and Parkhill really does the cuisine justice. Soups, vegetables, seafood along with excellent fish options (try the baked sablefish with mustard). Prices are reasonable and represent excellent value. Certainly worthy of a visit especially with a group so you can enjoy a wide variety of their great food. read more

Came here for dinner on a recent Vancouver trip and food was pretty good. We ordered the Alaska king crab set menu. The crab was done well - I don't usually enjoy eating seafood but the steamed crab claws had a great garlic flavor and the other crab dish we got was fried well and had great seasoning without having too much kick. The braised pork belly here was also really tasty, the meat just melts in your mouth. Service was alright, started off well with timely plate changes but tapered off once they got busier. Parking was relatively easy, with a large shared lot between London Drugs/Empire Seafood/Parkhill Seafood and some other businesses. IIRC, you do need to leave your license plate at the front for validation purposes. Price was fair for what you get. read more

Pretty good dim sum spot considering they are fairly new. We came for brunch on Monday and it wasn't too busy. We ordered a TON of food.... shui mai, har kaw, spareribs, chicken feet, baked pork buns, shrimp rice roll, beef rice roll, Chinese donut with shredded pork, egg yolk buns, turnip cake, chicken wing stuffed with glutinous rice, and e-fu noodle in abalone sauce. We definitely had a lot of leftovers haha I thought the dim sum all tasted good, one of my favorites was the Chinese donut with shredded pork since that tasted interesting. It was crunchy, a tad sweet but also salty. A fan of the combination of flavors! Clean place + good dim sum + decent service = will be back! read more

One of the best dim sum places I've been to in a while. The variety of dishes to choose from was worthy of applause, and the quality of the dishes was worthy of an encore. Everything came out hot and fresh. There were several unique dishes I hadn't had before including egg battered fried fish skins, tapioca pudding "pie," chicken feet broth stew (the broth being the part I hadn't had). The fried tofu was the best I've ever had of that dish. Superbly battered, and silky smooth on the inside. The ginger chicken was just straight fresh. If you read this before coming here, savor the quality. Because you shouldn't expect this level of quality from just any dim sum place. read more

Came here last night for dinner upon a birthday invite. It's a set menu of which price I have no idea. The food was very good. This is my second time eating in this restaurant, the first bring dim sum, and should say, it's good. Not 5 stars yet ? I'd say not quite there yet. It lacks the delicate flavor and chef creativity to make more stars but dinner last night was not a disappointment at all. The beef rib is something new and worth a try. read more

Food and service is okay in this place. However, we shall not return again because we felt there is no integrity here... My partner saw the ad posted on the Mingpao newspaper yesterday that Early birds get 20% off on the dimsum if paid before between 9-11 am. This morning 10/16 Saturday we arrived at 10:33 am, ordered 5 dimsum and by 10:59 am, we tried to check out but the server said this discount thing is not valid due to the weekends been changed to 9-10 (no details ever disclosed in their ad...) Too bad we are disqualified for this early bird Siumai/squid game with Parkhill! The total bill comes to $48.14. Well, definitely not a pleasant experience especially for my gf, we paid and left. No plans to return. We eat out all the time, we won't complain at all if the charges are fair and square. Otherwise, we simply take our business somewhere else with integrity, period! read more

Im not sure why people said their service was bad... this is our 2nd time here and I was original from HK but live in US for over 20 years. Their service is fast and just like in Hong Kong. Food was good and I tried 2 other dim sum places around this area and I really like them. First of all while I was checking in at the reception, there were 2 other families trying to cut in front of me. The receptionist was on it and still take care of us first. I sat down and was able to get my tea and my food order within 10 mins. I added a fried rice after and the server came back and follow up with me within 10 mins and make sure i got my order soon. I really dont see why people dont like their service... may be all customers were in a rush (that's what i see they want everything "now"). Come on.. relax and enjoy your sunday dim sum people! read more

So my family and I have been coming here on the weekly for dim sum. On our last visit, my sister found a needle-type object in her food. We could not figure out what the object was but only knew it would've been bad if it cut into her gums or was swallowed. We notified the manager and he examined the object but didn't offer any apologies or explanation as to why and how the object was in the food. It's not like it's something organic like hair or an insect, it was something sharp and potentially dangerous if swallowed. The manager simply said if there's any discomfort with her teeth/mouth, come back and let him know. He offered to write off the cheapest thing we ordered at lunch (sponge cake) and that was it. We were a little appalled and taken aback as the manager seemed unfazed. We can only assume that this happens often enough that he doesn't find it shocking anymore? In any case, sadly, we won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

This year's lunar new year, we decided to try Parkhil Seafood Restaurant's Chinese New Year menu. This ex-Teochew restaurant has rebranded and is now serving Cantonese dishes. Deluxe Dinner Set For Sour ($388): Shark's Fin Soup with Fresh Crab Meat (4 bowls) Braised Live Lobster with Soy Sauce and Onion Soy Bean Marinated Black Cod Fish - Baked Code Fish with Dijon Marinated Chicken - Chicken Marinated with Truffle Sauce (served cold) Braised Whole Dried Scallops - Dried Scallops served with Oyster Sauce on bed of cabbage, Shitake Mushroom and black moss (FaCai) Assorted Seafood Fried Rice - Prawn and Scallop Egg Fried Rice Daily Dessert - Osmanthus Jelly with Red Dates Overall, the food were either hit or miss. After not having shark fin for years, their Shark Fin soup for sure brought out good memories. The soup was thick, the shark fin and the fresh crab meat were very generous. This is probably the highlight of the night. The Lobster dish was also amazing. The lobster was fresh, and the seasoning was spot on. The fish in the cod dish was also fresh, but this dish reminds me of Japanese style black cod miso. Marinated Chicken dish was a surprised for me, as the dish was served cold, but it was a pleasant surprised as the black truffle taste was very strong and it worked well with cold chicken. +8 for this. On the other hand, the rest of the food were pretty bad. For the braised dried scallop, the scallop was springy and easily broken. They might overcooked the scallop. The shitake's stem was still pretty hard, so it might be undercooked. The fried rice was the worst, it only had small pieces of prawn and scallop, and was pretty bland. Lastly, the dessert had no flavor. -2 star for this. Finally, the service was not great. One of the lobster claw was uncooked. We made a complain, but they did not do anything nor apolagize about it. They took the lobster away and it never came back after telling us they will recook it. -3 stars for this. read more

There is free parking in the plaza ramp. I grew up eating dim sum and since I'm visiting from the states I expected this place to be better with the Chinese population here but I must say this place didn't impress me. We had spoiled shrimp inside one of our sui mai order. Food was more on the bland side. We went as a big group and was able to get a table right away without waiting. read more

First time here after it's new opening - came for Dim Sum. More on the pricey side but they definitely have some unique ingredients and presentation to the traditional dim sum. Grilled eel on flakey pastry, carrot-shaped fried glutinous rice dumpling, mini pineapple buns with char siu and more. Each item tasted freshly made, good ingredients and the plating was really nice. A feast for the eyes and stomach! Service was top-notch and very attentive - empty plates cleared immediately and tea always topped up. Covid precautions in place. Overall, another good dim sum to add to the Richmond list. read more

We were not able to get a table at Kirin and we walked across the street to have brunch here. The food is as good as Kirin, but fewer options. The service is about the same, prompt and silent. They speak Cantonese and do not respond well with English, but still serve fast. Generally speaking, the food is good and the taste is as good as other places. This is Richmond, you can never go wrong with Chinese food unless someone tries to do it intentionally. That is the good thing about eating in Richmond, the best is if you can speak Mandarin or Cantonese. English is ok. And thank God they take credit cards, unlike some smaller restaurants only take cash. Try this one, you may like it. read more

Went here to celebrate my mom's birthday and there were 7 of us. We ordered the Peking Duck plus lobster special combo for $288 and it was amazing! Lots of food and we couldn't even finish everything. The special combo was for six ppl but it was more than enough to feed us 7. There was soup, Peking duck, lettuce duck wrap, lobster, pork chop, seafood fried rice, and broccoli dish and red bean dessert. All in all pretty delicious and great price point. I highly recommend. The service is ok not great as they are short staffed. One waiter for 4 tables. Good clean comfortable ambience. I will be back again as this special is s very good one!!!! read more

This is our first time come to Parkhill since it changed name and we're looking for it. Prices are on the higher side. However, we find the food just your ordinary dim sums.

First time here and it didn't disappoint. I normally don't write reviews but since Parkhill Seafood wasn't even registered on Yelp I felt compelled and after eating felt it was my duty to share this gem with you all. We frequent nearly-weekly many Chinese restaurants in Vancouver & Richmond. Parkhill Seafood provided us an escape from the normal regular orders. Usually when you go to a spot you know what their speciality is and order it. Here it was refreshing. No complaints whatsoever on every single dish. In fact, they were all delicious and delectable. Flavours were on point. Nice blend of modern vs traditional. Textures were amazing. A wonderful job by Parkhill's Chef and kitchen! Service was more than spot on. Very accomadating and helped us choose some of the dishes including their recommendations. They insisted to clear our dirty plates frequently to provide us with clean surfaces for the many flavours we devoured. Great job to all that helped us enjoy this meal! read more

We went to Parkhill again since we last dined there at end of April. We ordered the same set meal for six with Peking Duck and Lobster. The experience was like heaven and hell. Tonight it was a great disappointment. The service was rushed with rather rude servers. The duck was lean, the lobster was minimal and seafood fried rice with only shrimp. The fishmaw soup was watery with very little fish maws almost melted in the half full lukewarm soup. Even the dessert was watery with pure sugar, when I asked the server what was it in the dessert , he had to think for a moment then told me it was bean soup. I wonder what has gone wrong since April? Inflation? Change of owner? Different chefs? It was on a Friday night. Now I understand why the restaurant was not full when we were there. read more

ATTENTION READ THIS!!!! Okay it was horrible. I have been here couple of times with my dad and he loves it, but since they have changed the name, the management sucks so bad. I came here for chinese new year. As the food comes with the shark fin its good all good but we asked for chinese parsley and it never came through. The soy chicken was good. The fish was just okay since there was bone and it wasnt easy to eat. A cod's bone should be removed no matter what. The scallop omgg its so dry and bland no taste at all i aint a briish somehow. The scallop seems like coming from a can. But the worst is the lobster. The lobster was fucking raw!!!!! Yes i said rawwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! RAWWWWWWWW (INSERT GORDON RAMSAY VOIVE) and you know what one of the managers had the audacity not to do anything about it??????????????? Damnnnnn boiiii what you smokin? We asked for a replacement and he did not want it because its a lobster. Okay fine then he said he would like to bring it to the back to get cooked some of the raw parts but it never come back jeng jeng jeng we lost the claw of the lobster that much meat imagine. Anyway, the day after we found a lot of them were raw too and yes we got food poisoned. He did not want to do anything and not be responsible for it to change it or anything. LMAOOOOOOOOOO. BOI TOO BUSY SMOKIN SOME CRACK. Anyway, thanks for the briish dessert! No cheers!!! read more

The food is okay -- nothing special. But the service is such a disapppointment. The servers are abrupt and very rough in their service. When they talk to you -- its as if you dont deserve to be there and they seem to expect everyone to be okay with them not beng able to speak proper english. The last time I check this was still Canada. Mr Mayor Brodie - what are you doing? It seems anyone that is not chinese here is a second class citizen! Servers should be required to speak proper english and they should adjust to us -- and not to them! And if that is the way they naturally are - they should change thier manners and adapt!! Yes, ADAPT to the Canadian way! read more

Only because I can't rate 0 star. Food is bad, service is worse. 4 different waiters have come to check in on our order sheet, and told us this is out, that is out. We waited for 20 min only to get 6 steamed bun. It would have just taken me 10 min to cook steamed buns at home. read more

I would never ever come back here again. VERY POOR SERVICE. They seated us close to the end of the hall where they collected the dishes. They kept throwing dishware into the plastic containers creating disruptive noises. When I approached the manager (short chubby Asian guy in suit) reflecting the bad atmosphere, he blew me off and walked away without listening to my concern. This restaurant would not listen to your concern as a customer so why give them business at all. Just an advice to call the dim sum places for reservations and to avoid this poor quality restaurant. I would give them a zero star if Yelp has this setting. read more
