Menu back - 7/2025

When we were in Vancouver, we just had to stop in Richmond (the 626 of Vancouver) to eat some Chinese food. So we decided on Sun Sui Wah for dim sum. We followed Google maps to the restaurant and found out the entrance was on the back side of the building so we moved our car. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning, but the wait wasn't too long once we put our name down. No carts here, you order off the paper menu and they bring the food to you. 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.

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: Sesame Balls, Siu Mai, and Piggie Lava Buns I had a wonderful dining experience at Sun Sui Wah! We had a large group visiting from out of country and it felt like home to have such great quality dim sum. We had a large group of 11 people and ordered way too much food, which wasn't bad because we had leftovers! We had several dishes and I still can't believe the size of each dish - the portions were huge compared to a lot of restaurants in the US. The staff here were nice and welcoming, as well as efficient! The restaurant itself was well kept and visually appealing. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Classic dim sum spot that delivers on tradition and flavor. We ordered all the staples - congee, har gow, shiu mai, chicken feet, etc. As a life-long resident of SGV, I have to say this was the best dim sum restaurant we've been to. A few things worth noting: - No push carts here. - Alcohol-friendly. Was surprised to see people enjoying beer so early in the morning! - Easily the least greasiest dim sum I've ever had. The service was efficient and attentive, even during the busy weekend rush. Decor and ambiance is a little more upscale compared to what I'm accustomed to back at home. Looking forward to returning when I'm back in Richmond!

I've been to Sun Sui Wah in Richmond over 20 times -- mostly for dinner, with just a handful of dim sum visits. Their food has always been consistently good and I genuinely enjoy it every time. They used to be famous for their roasted squabs, but not so much these days. If you want a really good squab, Rose Garden on Kingsway in Vancouver is really good! Sun Sui Wah has comfortable seating and decent service overall.

Sun Sui Wah is a restaurant with long history in Richmond, it is well known for its Cantonese style and is one of the best in Vancouver BC. Its dimsum are welly made and features a wide range of food in their menu. Service is always one of the best. My experiences has always been great here.

Seafood chow mein
Kevin E.

They're known for their roast squab so we ordered that but I didn't find the taste mindblowing. It was juicy and the skin was crispy but I found the meat a bit tough. Note that squabs are fairly small so even if you order a whole one, it isn't really worth the price that you pay. The sweet and sour pork was ok; not the best I've had. The seafood chow mein was a bit better, albeit a bit underseasoned. The vegetable that came with the seafood chow mein was exceptionally crisp though. Probably should've ordered an extra plate of this vegetable lol. Service was ok; a bit inattentive and it took a while to flag down a waiter to pay the bill. Maybe we ordered the wrong things because I know this place is also known for their crab and dimsum but I was not impressed by our dinner here.

A true gem for authentic Cantonese cuisine that's stood the test of time. From handcrafted dim sum to premium live seafood, this spot is a MUST for any foodie in Vancouver. ‍ I had an amazing time with my friends indulging in these delicious dishes: * Steamed prawn dumplings * Pork & shrimp shiu mai * Steamed BBQ pork buns (SO good!) * Donut rice roll * Beef rice roll * Mini egg tarts * Seafood congee * Deep-fried squid (crispy perfection!) * Pan-fried rice noodles with beef & bean sprouts My top picks? Pan-fried rice noodles with beef & bean sprouts, deep-fried squid, BBQ pork buns, and prawn dumplings. Service 5/5 (very fast service) Food 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Parking 2/5 (went on a weekday for lunch and it took us +20 minutes to find parking)

My first time visiting the Richmond location of Sun Sui Wah.. was very busy for Father's Day dimsum. Ordered the seafood chow mein, dried scallop/shrimp fried rice, deep fried salted squid, prawn rice roll, siu mai, chicken feet, tripe/tendon and fried taro balls. It was all so so delicious. Loved the old school dimsum but tasted top tier and portion sizes generous. Best of the best was def the fried rice - so much delicious dried scallop and wok hay. Only item that was just okay was the chow mein - a little bland and noodles weren't crispy at all. ++Recommended.

Ambiance 3/5 -- Reminiscent of a traditional dim sum restaurant I'd visit with my grandparents and extended family. Massive crabs in tanks and red velvet decor. Food 3/5 -- I was a bit unimpressed and found a caterpillar in the Snow Peas. Snow Peas and Oyster Mushroom (4/5): After it was remade, the snow peas were nicely cooked and mushrooms were tender and juicy. Light sauce coated it nicely Shrimp Rice Roll (2/5): Sauce wasn't flavorful. Green onions inside were a nice touch Shu Mai (4/5): Flavorful and tasty! Chicken Feet (3/5): Sauce was overwhelming, however the chicken feet was very soft and tender. Great texture, sauce not so much Tendon and Tripe 3/5: Overly soft, buttery and creamy. I wish it had more of a chew/bite feel Service 3/5 -- No nonsense type of service. Rather slow but it was a busy Saturday. We found a caterpillar and the manager promptly removed it from the bill but didn't comp the remake. We paid for a brand new dish. We ordered Har Gao and never received it but it got removed from the bill I won't be back

Bean curd wraps with premium oyster sauce

Great food, ordered my usual dim sums, service was great not a full house for a Saturday afternoon. Had the assistant manager service my table. The tea was great, strong tea. The atmosphere inside is bright and lively, not high ceilings but has lots of lighting.

Old school style Chinese restaurant. The ones your parents take you to. Pick a live fish or crab or lobster and they bring it to your table for approval. Green beans, pork belly, and chow fun were all delicious. Came out a little slow but tasted good. Choice of teas.

Famous squab
Ann L.

It's been a while since we've eaten here but Mom wanted to go back. The squab is still good from what I remembered but everything else was just ok. Food didn't come out hot, just warm temperature. Service was excellent though...very attentive and changed our plate almost after every dish. Probably won't come back since there are many choices in Richmond.

Chow mein
Jon O.

One of the better dim sum options in Richmond. Everything we ordered had good sized portions with lots of flavor. A few things were weird like the pork pastries that seemed to have candied ginger that was off putting, but everything else was devoured. Service was pretty quick, even on a busy weekend. Parking can be tricky as it shares its lot with a bunch of other stores. Be patient and usually spots open up regularly.

Good food but best for larger groups to share dishes. Servings are quite large but Wine a little pricey.

This visit was for dinner - and we were outside the door waiting even before they opened at 5:30. On a Tuesday. And we were already second in line. Celebrating a birthday, we had cold jellyfish starter, lobster fried e-fu mein, braised pomelo skin with seafood, and beef fried kai lan. The lobster was perfectly cooked. Even slight over-cooking can make the lobster meat tough. However, every piece was perfectly cooked. Including the large claws. Cooked with ginger and scallions, the lobster gravy coated each strand of e-fu noodles to umami yumminess. The braised pomelo skin was a special seasonal dish. I have not had this dish in many decades, and when I saw this in the special seasonal menu, I had to get it. The bittersweet braised pomelo skin complemented perfectly the fresh seafood, and topped a bed of Chinese spinach. It was the first time for the other members of my family and they literally sucked it all down. The beef with kai lan was another standout. Beef slices were tender and delicious and that perfectly complemented the well seared gai lan - great evidence of wok hei. Service is exemplary. Not just for a Chinese restaurant, but for any restaurant. The servers are constantly on the alert, and Everytime they see a plate filled with lobster shells, they would whip it away and replace it with a clean plate. They made sure that tea cups were filled and kept us updated with the delivery of the next dish. And at the end of the meal, dessert (Tong Shui) was complimentary... and they added a wonderfully light and flaky walnut cookie and piece of mochi for each of us.

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.

The live seafood tanks had some impressive looking seafood, including giant hairy crabs. They had lots of live seafood specials, and we went for the lobster (3 lb). You can pick the preparation - I wanted the bifengtang style, but it's a little spicy, and we had the kids, so we did classic ginger scallion. You can add noodles or rice, and we went with fried rice. There are also optional add on sauces: truffle or salted egg yolk. The rice was so good and was a very generous portion. 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. They were really nice to the kids and gave them some extra paper to draw on. We also finished with red bean soup and warm lava buns with runny salted egg yolk - so good.

We made a reservation last Sunday and when I arrived, the restaurant was packed. Parking in this location is absolutely horrendous on a weekend so please arrive early to find parking! We ordered a variety of dishes to share and most of them arrived promptly. However, I felt a bit disappointed as most of the dishes seemed to be less flavourful than other places I've been to. The fried tofu wasn't seasoned very much and the congee didn't even have any green onion garnish or pepper/salt given on the side. The bean curd dish was weak as the bean curd on the outside seemed to be overcooked or not wrapped as tightly so it was peeling off in the dish (no pic as it arrived late to the table!). For the siu mai, I felt like the size and texture was not as good as my usual place. I did like the oval shaped egg tarts as they weren't too sweet and very fragrant as well as the rice roll with delicious smooth beef filling inside. Service was overall prompt and standard. However, I likely won't return especially knowing how hard it is to park in this plaza.

No frills and worth the hype!…read more Our family of six arrived at 12 pm on a Tuesday. We waited approximately 25 minutes which is not bad at all considering how popular this small restaurant is. My mom is vegetarian and my girls had a wonton noodle soup lunch at another spot down the street.

The meats were juicy, tender, and flavorful. My girls are usually indifferent to Cantonese barbecued meats but they tried it and enjoyed everything as well.

They ran out of duck but do not fret because the soya chicken is where it's at. The soya chicken is incredibly tender, even the breast meat is tender. Secondly, it's perfectly marinated and if you dab a little of their homemade soy sauce, it's even better. Eat this with rice and you'll never want another meal in your life. This was easily our favorite dish for the place. Bbq pork and crispy pork are both spot on as well. They give generous and juicy cuts and the crispy pork is, well, crispy. The skin is a nice crunch and the meat is juicy, what more could you ask for? I still salivate and dream of the meat here and I wish we had something like this back in LA cause I don't know who else would make soy chicken as good as here. Cash only so come prepared! If you're a US tourist, they take USD as well but canadian is still the better deal.

Probably my favorite thing I had here was the baked BBQ pork pastries. It's not something I've seen often at dim sum places, but these were perfect. The pastry was insanely flaky on the outside, kind of like a top-tier pie, but the pork on the inside was super juicy and lightly sweet. It was an absolute delight. Some other things I enjoyed were the xiao long bao (although I wouldn't say they're the specialty here), the baked BBQ pork buns, and the spare ribs. The desserts were another highlight. The sponge cake was very light and fluffy - and the egg yolk custard buns overflows with the custard and deeply yellow yolk. Also, everything is super cheap. It's rare that a single dish is above 10 CAD. Overall, some high-quality dim sum at an inexpensive, authentic restaurant. 8.5/10
