Meeting up with a friend for dim sum on NYE and they suggested Sea Harbour Seafood. It is housed in the Great Canadian hotel and casino complex. It is a good location with amazing views from the parking lot....yeah crazy. There is free restaurant parking on the 7th floor (top) of the parkade and the views are great. The room is nice with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Ordered a few dim sum items...all pretty standard...enjoyed the eggplant with shrimp paste...my go to dim sum item. The service was not an issue and the servers were all pleasant and attentive. The only challenge was trying to find the exit out of the parking lot. It was positive food experience. read more

After having dim sum somewhere else earlier, I enjoyed this place more. The service was way better. Quicker and friendlier. It was busy, but not too long of a wait. We ordered the usual that we always get: steamed prawn dumplings, siu mai, and chicken feet. We also ordered congee, fried rice, and gai lan. We were satisfied, and had some leftovers. My favorite was the beef fried rice; I think it may have been wagyu beef fried rice, but it was yummy. read more

We've made this dim sum eatery into our rotation when we visit Canada and for many good reasons! First off the dim sum is prepared fresh and comes out piping hot. We have some favs including the egg plant with shrimp paste drizzled with abalone sauce, the prawn rice roll, har gao, shui mai, and fresh scallop and dumpling. Their choices are extensive and includes a variety of non-dim sum items. The service is good despite being super busy especially at lunch and our food came out promptly. The ambiance good with clean table settings and a nice interior. read more

We had Dim Sum with the family at Sea Harbour Restaurant and it was an incredible experience. While there's ample parking, you do have to drive to the top of the parking structure. Service was excellent. Every single person was friendly and polite. Yes, not your typical chinese restaurant experience. Here is what we ordered Crispy shrimp red rice roll Seared cuttle fish cakes: tasty Juicy beef balls: Best we've ever had. High quality beef with the perfect texture Deep fried egg tofu Baked BBQ pork buns Osmanthus clam, scallop and shrimp congee: AMAZING - MUST ORDER We will be back for dim sum and dinner on my next visit home! read more

This place is a bit of a local institution that has since really blossomed since its early days in the 90's. Even the current location at the River Rock Casino has had a makeover. I came for dimsum on a Saturday. Reservations are advised. Service was good as far as dimsum goes. The space is roomy and comfortable. Dining room was clean. Bathroom was just ok. Dimsum menu is huge. Foods we tried: truffle sauce-topped siu mai - if you take away the truffle sauce, its just average beef tendon/tripe - average flavour, cooked properly, perfect texture house special rice rolls - this was great. It was the pink one. Nice combo of plump shrimp/shrimp paste and crunch Rice rolls with pork and pea tips - also good pumpkin fried pancake - ok steamed beef balls - a little too soft for my taste but flavours on point and texture very bouncy pricing was reasonable Tea was about $3/head overall food is a solid 3.5-4/5. Definitely room for improvement but nothing was bad. Place is comfortable to eat in. You dont feel cramped or rushed. And as icing on the cake, they have a TON of free parking; you just have to drive up to the 7th floor of the parkade. And the area around the restaurant isnt very crowded so driving around there is easy. Beware the costco traffic jam nearby which may hold you up a bit trying to get there. read more

This is a more expensive Chinese restaurant but worth it. I was staying at the river rock casino and dropped by here to eat and did not regret. Their green beans and eggplant was cooked perfectly with the perfect amount of seasoning and their beef noodles was amazing we asked for their XO sauce and that made everything even better I highly recommend asking for their XO sauce and putting that on everything and anything! Would definitely come back to try their dimsum read more

Wow wow. Told my friend that if we visit Seattle we have to go to Vancouver for Chinese food. We came here for dim sum. Not in Vancouver, but a Chinese village in Richmond Canada . Boy was I happy with the food and ambiance. Sea Harbor Seafood Restaurant is located on the bottom floor of an Indian Casino. There's convenient parking, is a transit station, and nearby the Vancouver airport. The first thing you notice is a nice frontage. The lobby is tiny, so you should make a reservation, otherwise you will be left out in the cold, literally. It can get cold outside. Once inside the main dining room I was quickly enticed in: modern, clean, and flavorful scents. FYI. Chinese restaurants are brightly lit. We ordered the basics. I always like to order the basics to gauge and compare dim sum establishments. We order shrimp dumplings (ha gow), pork dumplings (su my), spare pork ribs (pi ga-what), tripe, and sticky rice followed by egg custard tarts and almond/sesame jelly. Ha Gaw is basically shrimp wrapped in a transparent rice wrap that's steamed. It was perfect. The rice wrapping was chewy, but not watery. The shrimp were bite size, fresh, and lightly seasoned. So were the rest of the dishes. Delicate and delicious. There's an art to creating a balance between taste and texture and creating the desire to take another bite. Seafood Harbor creates that balance. Don't take my word for it. There were all kinds of people dining including many high-end clients. The service was professional and delightful. The staff provide a friendly atmosphere. Dim sum = Little bites of delight. I would make a trip from the Bay Area to stop by here. This is my rating system to help you gauge my ratings Anything under three stars is not worth mentioning. Meh. *** stars - Good overall. Some aspects are above the notch: food, service, and or ambiance. Worthy of a visit. **** Stars - Exceptional, short of perfect. ***** Stars - Perfect in all aspects. Food quality, Service, Ambiance read more

I was staying at the casino hotel for a trade show and wanted a decent meal without walking in the rain so decided to give it a try and it was pretty good. It's not really set up for a single diner but they seated me and took my order. They came back to tell me they were out of the shrimp dumplings I had ordered so I substituted the Sui Mai (not sure of the spelling) another steamed seafood dumpling and it was good. The main dish was a seafood dish in a light broth that was full of large scallops, shrimp, and shellfish that was very good. I would certainly return if staying here again. read more

I haven't been to Sea Harbour since they renovated and decided to see what the difference was! Even in a weekday in the late afternoon (~1:30pm), we still had to wait around 15-20 minutes for a table. For a dim sum restaurant, the tables were decently spread apart and noise was not too loud, which is nice! Not sure how it would be on the weekends though. Tea price was $2.50/pp which is on the pricier side. They had a place to put your tea to keep it hot at all times, which was a nice touch. Also came with a smaller cup that no one really knew what to do with it. We ordered 6 items - see receipt. My favourite was the crispy prawn rice rolls. It was like a spring roll wrapped in a rice roll with a lot of different textures! The custard bun was also quite nice with enough gooey insides for each bite to have a part of it. Overall, I think that their dim sum is on the pricier side and food was just okay. All their items are quite standard compared to other places out in Richmond and wasn't anything too special. Not sure if I'd return for a while. I think they market towards higher-end consumers and their tastes. read more

Had dinner at Sea Harbour as recommended by a friend. It was weekday night and the binding room was about half full. Great ambiance and the server was very friendly and told us to pander no more than two dishes for two people as the portions are big. We ordered 1lb live spotted shrimps as it was in season. For a second dish, we ordered from the chef special menu (see attached photo). The concept was good as the fish roe added a crunchy component. The dish was mostly glass noodles with a few small pieces of duck liver and small amount of bean sprouts. More bean sprouts and duck liver would have made it a more successful dish. The service was on the slow side: ~10 minutes to take drink orders and 10-15 minutes to pay the bill. The restaurant offers complimentary parking if you park in the designated area, but there were no signs to direct customers outside of the parkade. We came from out of town and had to call the restaurant for parking info. read more

Just got off a cruise ship and we heard Sea Harbour in Richmond, Vancouver was a must try Dim Sum near River Rock Casino. We had reservations for 8 at 11:30 and was seated immediately and was glad we had made reservations as it was busy. Great atmosphere with bright lights and felt open and clean. We live where dim sum is plentiful but wanted to try dim sum in Vancouver. We ordered many dishes and dishes were delicious. I would rate it as good as the ones we can get at home. Some of the dim sum was a little different than home so and it was really good. Pricing was high but I'd recommend to try if you want good dim sum. My hubbie didn't like the chow fun as much as the chow fun that we get at home. His favorite was the gin doy with the black sesame. It was excellent! read more

This is one of our family favorites for dim sum, free parking on level 7 and serving portion is pretty good. The price is more expensive than other places but it has a fine dining decor and ambiance. The service exceeds my expectations as they were quick to refill our tea and bring our hot sauce. Since the place gets busy on weekends they did impose a 90-minute limit if you stop ordering food. Overall I liked the quality of the food, the pumpkin pastry was delicious. Their OX radish cake and chinese donut shrimp rice roll are some of my favorites! The restaurant is spacious and not too loud so you can enjoy the dining experience! read more

By Washington State standards, this dim sum is probably four or five stars in terms of taste and quality. I think they get dinged because there is so much fierce competition of good Chinese food. Then there is the price. The dim sum is probably $2 more than most places. The food is on the more pricier side but the quality of the food was good. Our server was very nice and we got to sit at a nice spacious table. The person who took our payment looked a little impatient because we were paying with a gift card and couldn't get it to work. She acted like we couldn't front the bill and started to look impatient. Aside from that annoyance, our experience here was great. read more

Sea Harbour is located alongside the River Rock Hotel and offers authentic Chinese cuisine. The customer service could have definitely been better. I was in a diverse crowd of people heading to dinner after our conference and upon entry the waitress asked us to confirm if we could afford the offerings on the menu. That gave us all a pause. Nonetheless, as there were limited options in the area, we decided to dine in anyway. The restaurant is filled with patrons coming from the casino across the street and can get a bit loud. For an elegant space, I expected a more reserved crowd. The food was not impressive and I unfortunately experienced an adverse reaction to the peppers in the chicken and shrimp dish. If this particular conference returns to the same area, I will have to skip this restaurant and venture out to find other options. read more

Cantonese dimsum and seafood restaurant, located across from the River Rock Casino. Years ago they were located on No.3 across from Yaohan Centre. Mid to large size interior, with bright, light colored design. Busy for dimsum on a weekday. We made a reservation and didn't have to wait. Like most places in the area nowadays, you pick your dimsum via an ordering sheet. The nice thing here is that their ordering sheet has photos of every item, so you know what you are ordering. We got an assortment of dimsum. My favorite were the fried taro dumplings (which not many restaurants do well) and the egg custard buns that are shaped like shiitake mushrooms. The steamed pork rib, beef changfen (rice noodles), and shrimp dumplings were also good. The shumai, egg tarts, and daikon cake were okay. We also got the pine nut, wild rice, egg white and shrimp fried rice, and that was very tasty. Stir fried very well in a way that's neither too oily or too dry. Bill was $120 total for 3 people. Not cheap but that's the kind of prices for higher end dimsum these days. read more

It was my first time having dim sum at this restaurant and I should have checked where to drop off seniors beforehand. There is a driveway on River Road where I could have dropped off seniors near the restaurant's entrance, but because I entered the parkade from Great Canadian Way, I did not know it would be easier to let the passengers off on River Road. I saw disabled parking on a lower level, but I wasn't sure if I could park there, so I let my passengers off and went to park at the top level. The passengers later told me that the area had a heavy smell of urine. I found the parking signs confusing, at one point I followed the signs and went up the parkade on the other side, when I finally got to the top level, there was a "no entry" sign near the elevator, it was ambiguous whether it was really one way. I had to go down one level to get back to the "correct" direction to access the parking. Our party of 7 had a reservation at noon; however, our table wasn't ready until 12:45 p.m. and there were only two chairs for people waiting. The seniors in my party were not able to have a seat and the wait for not easy for them. We were the last party being seated, I do not have any proof but I have a feeling that regular customers were given a priority to be seated. The food was not too bad, every dim sum dish that we ordered tasted good; however, nothing stood out in particular. We also ordered a fried rice noodle dish but were told that rice noodles were sold out. This was a disappointment and also a surprise, I would not expect a restaurant at this price range would not have enough ingredients for such a common dish. Out of respect for the seniors I was having lunch with, I did not take any photos while seated. read more

So glad I decided to try the dim sum food was exceptional! We have the fried tofu, truffle siu mai, taro cake, mushroom dumpling, custard Bao and little, fried football, and coco ut dessert bin nies. Every bite was pipiping hot and very well make. What stands out is that dim sum is light, not greasy, so you don't leave with a heavy feeling that dim sum can sometimes leave in regular dim sum places. Restaurant is lovely and staff was very attentive as they checked on us often for tea refills. I am excited to being friends and family here. read more

Dim sum is quite good though it's a bit pricier than the other restaurants in Richmond. Parking is a bit troublesome, though free, as you'd need to go all the way to the rooftop of the parkade next door (entrance on Great Canadian Way). Everything is nicely presented and quite tasty; the tea was nice but it's $2.5/per person. Word of advice, don't order the souffle. It may look impressive and insta-worthy but it didn't taste good. We didn't even finish it and it was $12. I probably wouldn't go back given that there are comparable restaurants in Richmond with equally good dim sum and cheaper prices. read more

First time having dim sum in Vancouver and I was not disappointed! The space was clean and modern for a Chinese restaurant, but yet has a the traditional feel. Service is what you would expect for a Chinese restaurant I would say? Was here as part of a private party in their private rooms in the back. My friend had pre ordered everything. I thought they had some interesting takes on their dim sum. Like truffle on siu mai which honestly I was not a fan of. I'm a pretty traditional dim sum person. Would still try again if I was ever in the area! read more

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE If you can look past what seems to be slow table service, everything else is decent about this restaurant for dim sum: from food quality to table spacing! === 2. FOOD - Baked Haw Juice BBQ Pork Buns: creative and tasty! - Deep Fried Fish Paste Cake: great starter! - Pan-Fried Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky Rice: nice idea; nearly boneless! - Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumplings: good staple. - Glutinous Rice w/ Pork, Chicken, Shrimp: solid choice. - Scallop & Shrimp Dumplings: creative twist on a classic. - Fish Paste Bean Curd Sheet Roll in Congee: the congee balances the savory taste! - Braised Ox Stomach in XO Sauce: done well, not too salty. - Steamed BBQ Pork Bun: a favourite of the kiddos! - Pan-Fried Shrimp & Chive Cake: neat idea - tasty one too :) - Crystal Shrimp Dumplings: nice and plump! - Pan-Fried Eggplant with Cuttlefish: great choice! - Fried Noodles with Soy Sauce: surprisingly not oily! - Beef Rice Rolls: not as good as Hei Hei's in town, but pretty decent. === 3. SERVICE It's best to make a reservation for this busy place! The service is pretty good overall in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese (and above/beyond at times), but over multiple visits, it seems like the delivery of food to table is consistently slower than that of other restaurants. Get your order submitted ASAP if you go in hungry! === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's open, clean, and bright; the best part (during the pandemic) is that the tables are spaced well apart, keeping noise and presumably germs away. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit just fine and parking is plentiful (if not a little far off) on the 7th floor of the adjacent parkade. read more

Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant (Dim Sum) 10/11/2021 Uber take out Our entire order was cold (no idea if the driver or restaurant's fault). That's understandable, we've had cold Delivery before. Har Gow (shrimp dumplings): 5 pieces instead of 4 because they're smaller. Still very tasty, buttery goodness. 4.25 stars. Siu Mai: Again smaller, 5 instead of 4. Not bursting with flavour, just ok. Honestly thought they'd simply given us frozen microwave Sui Mai. 2.5 stars. Beef balls: worst I've had in years. They had the texture of frozen dim sum that's gone straight from the freezer to the microwave, after getting freezer burn. 1.5 stars Wu Guok (tarot & pork deep fried flakey dumplings): Really well done, curry filling, very nicely done crispy shell. 4.75 stars Dan Tat (egg tarts): again sub par. Crust was under baked and doughy, egg custard was okay. 2.25 stars Ma Lai Goh (sponge cake, essentially): actually pretty good; light & fluffy, could've been a bit more flavourful. 3.75 stars Seaweed wrapped Shrimp Spring Rolls: actually fantastic, despite our order being cold (our Uber driver most likely dropped off multiple orders en route, with ours being last) the flavour shone through. Fresh, crispy, flavourful. 5 stars Recommend: Seaweed Shrimp Spring Rolls, Wu Guok Avoid: Beef Balls, Dan Tat Overall 6.5/10, 2.5 stars. The score isn't reflective of the overall quality (some dishes were good, some not so much) but for the comparables: in Richmond there are a ton of great Dim Sum options; and for the price and size & quality of the portions, there are a lot better choices. Chef Tony's gourmet (truffle infused) portions are small, but more filling & more generous than Sea Harbour; for cheaper but still decent portions & quality there's ClubOne, and for high quality, decent prices there's Empire, Kirin (although their takeout has slipped lately), Tin Tin, Continental are all better quality & larger portions. In other words, most dishes weren't bad, but with so many better alternatives, we are in no hurry to order from here again soon. read more

We had dinner at this new owner and newly renovated restaurant few nights ago and had an excellent experience. The service was friendly and quick. I think it helped since we ordered a set menu and called ahead of time. My favorites were the chicken with truffle. Best I've had in the city full of truffle flavor and not too heavy on the oil. The wasabi lobster was something I've never tried before, it was a tiny bit too sweet for my taste, but my boyfriend and friend loved it. The fresh steamed fish was delicious and satisfying poured over rice. read more

We have been at Richmond, BC multiple times and went to multiple restaurants. This restaurant has very bad service. They did not provide tea. All we got was a pot of hot water. They charged us $8.5 for a pot of water without telling us. They said tea and water is same price. At check out, we were forced to put down 10% tips. We asked if the lady could show us where on the menu says tips is required. She denied to provide it and she just put down tips before letting us take off. I do not recommend this restaurant read more

I was very blessed to dine with Yelper Andrew in the area today who introduced me to the fine dim sum dining this place has to offer. Let me explain why this should be your first-stop HK dim sum restaurant upon passing the border / landing at the airport: Quality | many of you know that I am tough on dim sum restaurants. However I could not find anything to nitpick about the food here. The tea was excellent. Dumplings came out hot, fresh, and with generous portions. All the bao-type had the softest texture coupled with the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely get the " #1 ocean port bbq bun" (第一海港包). I also enjoyed the shrimp spring roll tremendously: how did they get such layered textures of crunch?! Also, don't forget the classic pork ribs, beef ball with Worcester sauce, and the Phoenix claws. The dried beef chow fun was also very surprising. Beef was a very nice, tasty cut paired with very well-textured noodles. Service | employees were all very attentive and made an extra effort to make our toddler daughter comfortable. Upon special order we had some sweet dishes catered in cute animal designs. Environment | Clean, elegant, and well-lit, without being gaudy or distasteful. read more

Sea harbour is another dim sum place in metro vancouver that you guys should try out! It was by the casino and pretty exclusive dim sum in my opinion. Some of the dim sum was quite good but some are okay. A lot of new innovative dim sum to try here. Something that was really good was only the rice cake with pork and egg as well as the liu sha bao.

First time since they've moved from their No. 3 Road location. Parking is actually pretty convenient, we came at around 10:30am (thats when they open from Mon - Fri., and 10:00am on weekends. Drive all the way up to P7 and you will find plenty of designated parking spots for Sea Harbour!! You don't have to get a ticket or anything just park and go! Interior is spacious and bright, typical of this caliber of Chinese Restaurants, table linen is crisp and clean, nice! Here comes the dim sum items: Steamed Rice Roll with Beef & Cilantro: 3.5/5 stars Very well executed regarding the combination of beef with the rice roll, could be better if the rice roll batter is a bit thinner and smoother! Fried Boneless Chicken Wing with Sticky Rice Stuffing: 3.5/5 stars Chicken needs a bit more marination as I can still taste the "frozenness" of the meat, the sticky rice also needs more flavourings. Steamed Dumplings filled with Shrimp & Pea Shoots: 3/5 starts Wrapping is good and thin as you can see through into the fillings. Downside, filling is not flavoured enough, a bit bland! Steamed Beef Omasum in "XO" Sauce: 5/5 stars This is the best dish out of all this morning! The omasum is not tough at all and was cooked just right, with the perfect texture! The XO sauce gave it the right kick but not overwhelming! Steamed Spare Ribs on rice in a Hot Clay Pot: 3/5 stars Again the seasoning is a bit lacking but the rice is cooked to perfection without being sticky! A bit of the soya sauce that's provided will for sure improve the flavouring! Steamed Chicken Talons: 3/5 stars Standard fare, nothing special. Chicken & Mushroom Steamed in Fresh Bean Curd Skin: 5/5 stars Steamed Baby Octopus in Curry Sauce: 5/5 stars Second best item today! Curry Sauce is the HK style and its matches perfectly with the octopus, not over cooked or undercooked, the texture of the octopus made it a dish you can't stop eating!! Service: A tad above average, Hostess and Cashier Lady are very friendly, service staff: OK! Final Score: 3.87 stars! I've purposely come during weekday and early to avoid the crowd! Recommend!! A good alternative if you wanted a change! read more

Seattle Times article recommended this restaurant. My husband and I went on a Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant was very busy and lots of people waiting for tables. When the hostess appeared, I said for 2. The response was we don't have any tables available, we're fully booked. We walked out. I then saw another person walk in. I followed to see what the response would be. The hostess put her name on the waitlist. Hmmm perhaps we weren't the customers they wanted. Very sad... read more
