    Dinner is better than dim sum. Dinner 5 stars. Dim sum 3 stars. This is based purely on the food. So I averaged it out to 4 stars. Quite disappointed with my last dim sum experience. Everything was quite average and nothing stellar. $12 tea price. Service is still stellar though. Went on a weekday at 10:30am... thank goodness. If you come at around 11:30, you'll have to start waiting like crazy. Remember to make a reso in advance.

    One of the best overall dim sum restaurant in Vancouver It is Michelin Guide recommended- inspector favorite for good value Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Parking: free 2 hr shared parking garage w wholefood. Validate in the restaurant by the host when you check in by punch in your plate number. We walked 23minutes from jw parq Marriott hotel since no rain today. Fresh air and more room for your tummy. I made a reservation yesterday via their website for today lunch at 11:30. We got there early at 11am, they sat us right away. Yesterday which was Sunday the line wrapped around the building, so crazy. Restroom: men and women restrooms. They have small tables for 4 as well as table for 10, and also private room. We ordered: Chicken feet Bbq pork bun with crispy layer Chill tofu w preserved eggs and pork floss Minced pork congee w preserved egg Pan fried squash cake w red bean filling Crispy prawn rice roll Stir fry pea shoots with garlic Crystantimun tea Overall food is very good. Service is fast and friendly people. Will definitely come back for more.

    The place opens at 10:00 AM on Sundays. It was a full house by 10:30. The food and service are excellent. We enjoyed the meal.

    Highly recommend making a reservation for dim sum. Everything was delicious. Service was good and everything looked modern and nice - they even had 2 sets of chopsticks (personal and communal) which was a nice touch. PS there's an underground garage shared with Whole Foods. There's a kiosk on the 2nd floor by the entrance where you can enter in your plate and get 2 hours of free parking (on P2)

    It's a premium dim sum spot, the food quality is no doubt but the waiting time is long. Make sure you make a reservation beforehand. They also offers 2 hrs parking validation!

    I don't typically go for dim sum when there are just a couple of us because I like ordering many different dishes to share. With two people, we always end up over-ordering and then have too many leftovers which is not a bad thing, except when traveling. I've been to Seaport City once during a prior visit to Vancouver. I remember the food being delicious and the servers being super friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. We ordered six dishes for the two of us to share. Yes, it was too much food but so worth it. Scallop and pork dumpling (siu mai) - pretty basic dim sum dish but boy was it steaming hot! Pork hock with ginger - hubby loves pig feet so this dish was for him. It was so nostalgic eating it, just like how my late dad used to make it, gingery, vinegary with hard boiled eggs. Deep fried taro dumpling - this is one of my favorite dim sum dishes but am always hesitant to order because it tends to come lukewarm or cold. This one was so piping hot that I had to wait for the dumpling to cool down. It was also fresh and crispy. Deep fried country dumpling with cabbage - this one was for hubby too so I didn't try it. He enjoyed it though. Beef tripe - cooked perfectly tender Preserved egg and pork porridge (jook) - thickness of the jook was just right and the flavor was nice I really enjoyed our meal here and the fact that the staff never seem to rush customers out the door once finished. They continue to refill our tea and let us just sit and hangout.

    We made a reservation well in advance for a group of 8 on a Sunday morning at 10:45A M. Calling over the phone and booking it was super smooth. Getting there, they couldn't find our name but they found our phone number so we were in luck. The place was not super busy when we got there but around 11:30 it really filled up. Everything was very clean and decor was giving modern / upscale. The menu is quite large and the pictures accompany all the items listed on the menu which helps for those more visual. The menu also noted the size of the items so you would know how much food you are ordering. That didn't stop us though. We ordered way too much food for the group and had a ton to take home for leftovers. The quality was better than average. Not too salty and the food ingredients etc. all seemed good. Nothing dissappointed. I already want to go back for another round. The leftovers kept really well for the next day too so I am sure we will be over ordering again.

    The food here was great! I enjoyed the dim sum here very much, almost comparable to China. The service was just ok though, they did change our dishes for us often (which was great) but overall the service was just ok, they weren't the nicest attitude. The environment is nice though, I liked the dining room and how brightly lit it is, and the facilities feel pretty new.

    This is an upscale Chinese restaurant. The interior is nicely decorated and everything looks well maintained. The service was also great! The dimsum was very good (especially compared to my hometown in California). Keep in mind they are big portions. They tag on an extra item per order. For example, I'm used to getting an average of 4 shu Mai per order but they give you 5! So come hungry! It's a little bit on the pricier side but I think worth a try!

    Seaport City Seafood was on our itinerary because of its Michelin Bib Gourmand award. This distinction indicates that it is a restaurant that offer high-quality food at a reasonable price. On Tuesday morning, we came almost exactly when it opened up (no reservation). We were immediately seated (however, as the day progressed, we saw a line of people waiting for a table). The ambiance was elegant and the service staff was attentive to our requests. I would recommend not coming in too casual of attire. The following food items were ordered: BBQ Pork Buns with Crispy Layers ($12.99) Scallops and Shrimps Siu Mai ($12.99) Radish Cake with Chinese Sausage ($11.99) Black Truffle Fried Rice with Wild Rice ($39.99) Sauteed Green Beans with Minced Pork ($28.00) Tea ($12) Take out box (.50 cents) The food was flavorful and came hot. The classic sauteed green beans with minced pork (see photo below) is an order you can't go wrong with. If you have enough people in your group, the star of our meal was the black truffle fried rice with wild rice (it is a large dish to be shared with at least 5-6 people). If I lived in Vancouver, this is a restaurant I would come back for because the food quality is equal to the value it costs. My only note is that I wish the restaurant were more transparent about fees. We found out later that we were charged $12 for tea (party of 4) and .50 cents for a take out box. See receipt attached.

    drove by on a weekend and there was a super long line. came back with a reservation on weekday and it wasn't too busy. came here not too hungry yet everything tastes amazing--which means the food is just good. next time i need to come back and try more!

    Very Hong Kong 90's feel. I like it that their seafood is very fresh. The crab was very much alive when they showed me. Server very courteous. Overall happy with value for money.

    Har gao and egg yolk bun
    Heather H.

    Park in the parking structure in P2, don't pay for parking yet but instead input your license on the tablet in the restaurant for 2 hours of free parking The dimsum is pretty good but it's definitely more of an upscale experience. You get a menu to fill out. We got har gao, fried shrimp rice roll, baked bbq pork bao, spicy cucumbers, siu mai, and egg yolk bun. The hargao is pretty good- large pieces and comes with 5. Same with the siu mai. Skip on the egg yolk bun- it's fine but any dimsum place makes it just as good. The baked bbq pork bao whispers resemblance to the tim ho wan one but I think I like Tim ho wan's better? I strangely really enjoyed the cucumbers Service is pretty great though as well as the tables and ambiance. The teapots are cute A bit overpriced in my opinion but definitely a great option if you're craving a nice dimsum meal. Haven't tried others in the area though! Comparing to LA/san Gabriel valley places from California. Portions are on the larger side though so it would've been more fun to come with a larger group.

    Wow, this place is a GEM, I am so in love with the Rolls, I visited 2 days in a row, had to get…read moresome more rolls in before we leave BC, which was so sad! 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.
