We were in the area to visit another restaurant. unfortunately there was a long lineup so we decided to visit Yan'a Garden close by. Didnt have to wait and we got a table pretty quick. Service is typical Chinese restaurant style. We ordered a few items from the push carts. Shrimp dumplings, bbq pork rice roll, fried glutinous rice dumplings, steamed spare ribs and egg tarts. The dimsum were alright. The egg tarts lack egg flavor. We found the rice rolls too dense and heavy to our preference. The shrimp dumplings were flavorful and texture were on point Overall, i found the selection of steamed items were lacking (or maybe it was time we visited, which was at around 1pm) but there were a lot of deep fried items which werent our preference read more

Love love love this place! They can usually seat you very quickly or if there is a wait it at least moves quickly. Service is spot on as they have the carts and stop by frequently and all of the dishes are fresh. The cart ladies are nice and explain what they have well They have all of the classic dishes and not a single one of them disappoints. I am a sucker for crispy (outside normal sui mai) so I love their bbq puff pastry and spring rolls. Their prawn wrapped rice noodles are also very good. They bring a lot of sauces specific for each dish which is much appreciated. We've been going for years whenever we are in the area! It's currently my favorite dim sum spot! read more

Food is meh. Egg tart is tasteless and not crisp. The shrimp rice rolls were too thick and dense and also bland. The shrimp dumplings also had thick skin, and the shrimp didn't taste the freshest. Service was good though, and place is clean. read more

The food was so good. We got lucky and got there right before 11am on Sunday. We were seated right away. Shortly thereafter it got very crowded. The service was good and the servers were very sweet. read more

not bad! we got the 3 course peking duck combo ($108.88) and shrimp fried rice (~$21). portion for the rice was huge, had a fair amount if shrimp. peking duck is cantonese style (southern china, served as the whole duck and sliced in front of you) and slices featured more meat than skin. skin was crispy and the duck meat wasn't dry! the duck lettuce wraps were also very flavourful but i wish there was a bit more. the only disappointing dish was the soup- all i tasted was salt/msg, and the stuff inside was just tofu, bok choy and duck bones. i would have appreciated a richer duck taste but it just felt like i was drinking saltwater. read more

We came at 10am on a Saturday and the restaurant was empty when we got there. When we left at 11:30 the whole restaurant was basically full. They serve everything in the carts. There's some things that they won't have in the carts which then they will tell you to tick off on the paper to order it. We ordered steamed beef trip in special sauce ($9.28), steamed rice flour roll with scallops and seaweed ($9.88), deep fried sesame balls ($8.58), deep fried milk custard ($8.58), pork and shrimp dumpling shao mai ($8.38), har gao ($8.38), deep fried taro ($8.38), steamed pork ribs ($7.88). Tea is $1.50 each person The steamed beef tripe in special sauce had a strong tripe flavour in a good way. You could taste the innards flavour. Some restaurants bleach it and clean it really well so that you can taste it but this place has cleaned it just enough. Flavour was good and I would order this again Rice roll with seaweed and scallops. There were slices of scallops throughout the rice roll. This rice roll is different from the rice rolls you usually have at dimsum. It's not chewy like the ones you find at other restaurants. Instead it's really smooth and has a slight rice flavour. According to my grandma, this is the way it's meant to be. The ones that are chewy and bouncy is the new way of doing it now. This one is based on personal preference. If you like traditional style, this is the way to go. Deep fried sesame balls were not too sweet on the inside but the outside was too thick (also not chewy enough) and it wasn't crispy enough outside. We found out later that they have a different kind that's the thinner one. This one is pushed out on carts and not on the sheet so be warned if you are looking for the thin skin one. The shrimp dumplings or har gao were okay. Lots of shrimp inside and very bouncy but the outside skin was a tad too thick The taro fried dumpling was not crispy and flaky enough for me. The inside filling was pretty decent The pork shrimp shao mai dumpling was pretty good. Lots of pork little shrimp which is how it should be. It had a good bite too it and was well flavored The pork ribs were not bad. Meat was soft and portion was big. The fried milk dessert was interesting and definitely not what we were expecting. You drink the milk custard that's inside. Outside is crispy but also not hot. Inside was cold as well. Interesting but would only order it once. Overall dimsum was not bad. They have dishes here you might not find elsewhere. No major faults. Some of the servers pushing the carts can be a bit pushy. They try to sell you the dishes that have been sitting their the longest. Other than that the other servers are really nice and fast. They have servers specifically just to pour tea and get the bill. Would I recommend it? Probably not as none of the dishes stand out. But if you are looking for some solid run of the mill dimsum. Then this place is actually not bad read more

reservations were made for dinner at yan's garden to celebrate a birthday at 6:00 pm on a sunday. this chinese banquet style restaurant, located in a strip mall on lougheed highway and north road, has been around for years. no surprise that this place was pretty packed on a sunday evening. the restaurant is well lit, seating around 180 people with modern decor and three private rooms. it's an award winning place that serves dim sum daily (with trolley push carts). the service was decent, and our server was patient as we asked lots of questions, especially because two out of seven in our group were vegans. for the non-vegans, we started with the breaded and fried crab claw, which was quite substantial and served with sweet and sour sauce. the pea tips in garlic were cooked well, though a few tough stems could've been removed. the green beans, modified to accommodate the vegans, were decent, but i missed the minced pork and dried shrimp. other vegan dishes included fried rice with vegetables, no egg, though we were curious if they used chicken stock. we also had bok choy, snap peas, tofu, and mushrooms in a brown sauce that turned out to be oyster sauce. some say that's okay for vegans since oysters don't have a central nervous system. the chicken chow mein with crispy noodles and mushrooms was another non vegan dish, but i was disappointed to find button or white mushrooms instead of shiitake. the portions were generous, and the food came out quickly. we had a lot of leftovers. we were comped dessert and given a choice of red bean soup or mango pudding. they also had a robot delivering birthday cakes and singing happy birthday to a few tables, which added some fun to the experience. overall, it was a pleasant meal with good service, and free parking is available. read more

We usually order takeout of their Lobster green onion with ginger sauce adding the extra cost for Yee mein noodles. They are on Uber and their BOGO offers for other dishes are combinable with a coupon so it's not bad. Food is decent but getting pricier but where isn't it like that these days? Not on this particular order but on a previous order they threw in a couple of almond cookies as a thank you for ordering so much - that was appreciated! read more

Yan's Garden was our to-go Chinese restaurant when we lived in the area. There was always a line up for dim sum during the weekends. The dim sum was good but was kinda pricey. Their ala carte menu was pretty good and have good portion. - Budha's feast: good mixed of vegetables and they put varieties of mushrooms. However, the sauce tasted a bit different recently - maybe they changed cooks (?) - Ginger beef: hubby's favorite! Deep fried beef stripes with sweet & sour sauce. Depends on the cooks, sometimes the beef pieces were cooked perfectly & tender and other time, it was overcooked & tough. - Honey garlic spare ribs: deep fried spare ribs were tender and crispy. The honey garlic sauce was sweet & delicious. - Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce: the Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly - not to soggy & have perfect crunch The food was kinda inconsistent but overall, 3.5 stars for the taste, portion & price read more

Good dim sum in the area. It's pretty crowded even on weekdays! The carts are stocked and the service is decent. Lots of parking out front. The food is yummy! read more

This place gets very busy on the weekend. They still have carts for Dim Sum and pricing wise are about a dollar less a dish than a famous restaurant near Chinatown. But Yan's is famous in its own right and has served the Tri-cities for decades because of it. Food wise they have decent sized Dim sum. And it certainly was tasty. Ambiance wise this place is stuck in the 80's-which is a good thing! It is weird seeing all these "modern" fancy Chinese restaurants charging an arm and a leg for food trying to be fine dining when you can come to a place like Yan's that has the same quality of food for not much money. And this is the type of restaurant you would see in 80's and 90's Jackie Chan movies. Yan's is great and that is why it is still around. read more

No flavour at all. This is rudimentary cooking at best. This place makes Food court Asian food look like Michelin star places. I do not recommend. read more

My family and I went to the dim sum place on Mother's Day very crowded. We waited for a long time though we had reservation. We all loved the food here. It bring me back to my childhood memories. Old fashioned carts in and out of the aisles. Luv it‼ read more

I had the Deep Fried Bean Cured with Shrimp and Veggies. Also the Steamed Tendon in Special Sauce. With a bowl of steamed rice, I was quite satisfied. What's not to like? The two entrees were a contrast in textures that are pleasing. A rich sauce coated the tendons and the plump shrimp pieces snuggled nicely inside the crispy bean curd packets. For the next Hoedown, I need to bring some compadres so we can order more - fiesta style. read more

Yan's Garden was chosen to celebrate another birthday lunch in Mom's honour. We were a foursome this time, with both son and daughter joining us. It was fun getting back back to Yan's - we have always enjoyed our dining experiences there. And with something special to celebrate this time, it was even more fun and enjoyable. Food items were ordered directly from the food cart table service, and directly to the kitchen via both sides of the dim sum menu (regular, and specialty dim sum, with some of the latter served/priced as lunch specials). Service: upon arrival, and to our table, was especially warm, friendly, and cordial. Food: well-prepared - with both some familiar preparations and tastes, and some new-to-us ones. Everything on-the-mark - big in both flavour and taste. Photos attached - with some descriptions. We all enjoyed the dining experience, and shared a fine time together. Mom was especially thrilled and touched by the whole event. Our thanks to staff for gifting the mango pudding to her, in honour of her day - she loved it!! read more

Dim Sum @yansgardenca The dim sum tastes OK here. They have a jiejie (auntie) rolling around the food cart of the daily special dim sum items. This is a very memorable childhood dim sum experience.

Taste: 4/5 Steamed Rice Flour Rolls with Chinese Donut It's not hot served when we have it. Taste: 3/5 Deep Fried Eggplant with Shrimp Paste It's crispy outside and soft tender inside. Taste: 3.5/5 Steamed Scollops with Tobiko Dumplings It tastes good but the dumpling skin fall apart.

Ordered their lean pork and century egg congee to go around 8pm on Monday, Sept 11, 2023. Picked up my order, went back home, and started to chow down on my late dinner. When I was close to finishing the meal, I FOUND A RUSTY NAIL AT THE BOTTOM. Not even kidding. I thought it was a piece of bone at first, and the whole nail was in mouth before I spat it out and saw what it was. I am absolutely horrified, disgusted, and sick to my stomach now as I am typing this. I like their food and have ordered from Yan's many times, but this is completely unacceptable. Went back the next day on Tuesday, Sept 12, around 7pm to complain and let them know what happened, but I was not impressed with the way they handled it. Had to ask the guy at the till multiple times for their manager before he reluctantly called him over. He kept saying that the manager was busy and repeatedly asked me what I wanted from them, even after I explained that I found a literal RUSTY NAIL in my food. There was no sense of remorse or concern about the entire incident, which makes me wonder how often this happens at their restaurant. It is one thing to find a piece of hair or even insects in your food. But a freaking nail?! What is happening in their kitchen??? When the manager finally came over, he asked me to send him the photos so he could address this with their chef. I was glad to hear that, but he too kept asking me what I wanted from this. I said compensation would be nice but it is not the reason I am here. I wanted them to take this seriously, find out what happened, and put it right. The manager offered to compensate me with a free bowl of congee at first, which was laughable. They ended up returning what I paid for yesterday's horrid meal, but I am still concerned about whether they will take this seriously. Left my contact information so they can update me on what happened and how they resolved it. Will give them a week to follow up and post an update so you guys can decide if this is a restaurant you want to dine at. Honestly, I am not surprised by the lack of customer service since it is typical of Chinese restaurants. But their dismissive attitude despite the fact that they served a freaking nail in their food is extremely concerning. I may never dine here again as much as I like their food. Since last night, my mind has been racing with all the possible diseases I might contract because of this, and all the chemicals, bacteria, and germs that I have ingested. I know it was an accident, but I am so disgusted. read more

Yan's Garden Chinese Restaurant - Meh. Flavorless. - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Decent but rather expensive dim sum place in the North Road area. Parking is rather awful for this strip mall. There are simply too few spots. Carpooling is recommended. Knock 0.5 stars off. The inside was a bit dingy. Guessing they've been here for a while. The waiting area was completely full, but fortunately there is turnover. The front of the restaurant looks tiny, but the seating area is actually quite large. 2 sections. Dim sum the old school style with the ladies pushing carts. Baskets are $6-8 each. Yikes. My friends were saying this is pretty standard pricing in 2019, but I wouldn't know. Quality is decent. Overall no complaints. Decent option in this area, but the parking situation makes me hesitant to come back. read more

Food? Just wanted to have a try everything on the menu. LOL Service? Good. But I would say that you'd better going with a friend who can speak Chinese or well know about here.

A decent but average Chinese takeout food experience. Tried the pea shoot tips with garlic and it was quite old, tough to chew, and super fibrous which is the opposite of the soft and tender texture you expect for pea shoots. Portions were good though. Also tried the honey garlic spareribs which were nice but didn't have too much honey garlic sauce on them. read more

A friend recommended this place. Over the decades I drove by this place without trying out the food. We made reservations & were happy we did. The rating is based on dinner for 4. The rating's based on everyone's experience: (with 5 being the highest) Ambience: 4. Place can accommodate a group of 10. Food: 4 - we ordered the combo special at $118 for 4 people consisting of a appetizer platter, soup of the day, live crab with ginger & egg noodles, sauteed prawns with green, half empress chicken, steamed rice with dessert (checkout the photos). If you have big eaters, the combo special for 4 people isn't enough food. In addition we ordered the live BC crab with noodles at $24.88 & live lobster with egg noodles at $46.88. A current special on crab & lobster that was worth the price. Value: 4 (Several set menus with varying prices for 10 people, combos for 4 or 6 people. Best value seems to be the party tray combo for 10 people where you choose 6 items from a list - not sure about the portions. Location: 4. Located right on the south corner off Lougheed Hwy and North Road on a shopping plaza. There's free parking out front with a wheelchair ramp leading to the restaurant. Service: 4 - frequently changed our used plates & friendly staff. Hours: open 7 days a week from 10 am to 9 pm. read more

I like the dim sum here. I love how they go around the restaurant pushing the dim sum carts. It is so nostalgic as not many places do that now. I like being able to see and point to what I want. It is always crowded and service is quite minimal though. I think the wait staff is just too busy. I will suggest to ask the wait staff for whatever you need immediately after being shown to the table, instead of trying to flag one down later. The prices are fair and pretty reasonable. I will like to come back again for dim sum. Reservations are highly recommended especially if you have a big group. read more

We have been going to Yans for the last 6 years, since we moved to the area. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service. The food is always of high standards and quality ingredients. We get take out from here quite regularly and enjoy the food very much. As a special treat to ourselves we very much love the dim sum. We go early, the line ups can get very long. Yans is a wonderful restaurant and they make you feel welcome all the time. read more

Yan's is our neighbourhood restaurant and tonight we ordered for take out their new four course Chinese New Year set meal with Lobster and peking duck . Back in last Dec I ordered a similar set meal for four and enjoyed it very much. However this time, the price has increased but we got a smaller lobster and duck compared to last experience. I called to tell the manager we got only half a lobster because there was only one claw and clearly the take out tray was only half filled. We were disappointed but he claimed that was the kind of lobster they received from the supplier. The peking duck also seemed rather skinny. Its a hit and miss experience and I certainly hope that they can do a better job next time... read more

I ordered some dimsum for delivery from Yan's Garden this week based on my craving for it. I knew this weekend wouldn't allow me to go, so the next best thing was to have it delivered. I always appreciate the portion sizes from here. The sui mai is big and flavourful and the chicken feet and spareribs are always tasty. The prices here are slightly above some of the other competition in the area. While this is disappointing, I know exactly the level of service and quality of food that I'll be receiving. Parking can be awful in the little strip mall it's in. If you are visiting in person, I recommend going early or carpooling. read more

Chinese New Year dinner at Yan's is a greasy, salty affair. We ordered one of the pre-set "New Year's Dinner" packages with about 8 dishes and dessert. There wasn't a single package that checked all the boxes, but we chose the one that had more of our favorites. It came to about $300, and claimed to feed 10 people. Our party had 12 people, but three were kids. The first dish came out about 10 minutes in, but then there was a 15-20 minute delay before the next several dishes came out in rapid succession. So, pacing was not very good. If you've ever been to a Chinese wedding banquet, you would notice that the dishes that we got were not presented very well. There were few/no garnishings, and food was haphazardly arranged. The vegetable dishes we were served were fresh, clean and crisp. The two Dungeness crabs we were served were tiny and hardly worth the effort to extract meat from. The kids at the table absolutely loved the fried chicken, deep-fried fish and deep-fried tofu, but how hard is it to screw up deep-fried food? The lettuce wrap and fried rice were well liked. We all enjoyed the "shark-fin soup", but I thought shark-fins were banned. So, if they're not really shark-fins, then why advertise it as such? We also got a "Fish Maw" dish. FYI, "fish maw" is the swim bladder of a fish which allows fish to control their buoyancy in water. It is a bland-tasting organ, with little/no nutritional value. But, they give it a different name to make it sound good. Service was good. The waitresses responded to requests promptly, and water was refilled on a semi-regular basis. The washrooms were a mess, though. They're might have been an earthquake that evening that made it difficult for men to aim into the toilet bowl. Who knows? Parking was difficult to find during peak hours, and many Chinese patrons parked their vehicles illegally. Not cool. I'm not a fan of Yan's, stay away if you can. Better to go somewhere in Richmond or Vancouver. read more

Price/quality (3/4): Reasonable for the quality, though it's slightly pricier than it needs to be. The dim sum is definitely tasty though, and you can find all your usual fare here. Nothing too fancy though. Service (1/1): Service was decent for a restaurant with dim sum carts being pushed around. It's very much a traditional way to serve dim sum, though unfortunately it's not as efficient as ordering via a menu. Still, if you're looking for an experience that you don't usually get around here, you'll be fine with it. Would I come here again: Yes read more

My family is a regular a this restaurant. My grandma and her friends would visit Yan's Garden once a week. The servers and managers are friendly. 1 manager speaks English so thats helpful for English speaking customers. We ordered shredded chicken chow mein. The noodles were crispy and not oily. The top is filled with shredded bean sprouts, mushrooms and chicken. The amount of sauce was just right. Not my favourite toppings but I would prefer seafood or house special chow mein. The stir fried Ong Choy with garlic (chinese water spinach) was perfect. The veggies were done just right and stem had a good crunch to it. Our family go-to dish is the spicy deep fried prawns. Prawns were cooked to perfection and the seasoning was delish. I like the bits of chili sauce on the prawns, must try! And last but not least, deep fried pork chops in champagne sauce. Pork chops were tender. Its not my preferred sauce but my grandma liked it. The menu says Champagne sauce probably because of the color but don't expect any champagne flavor so you will not get tipsy from this dish! I personally like the deep fried pork chops with mayo sauce better. Can't go wrong with the dim sum either! read more

Went to Yan's at North Road for dim sum on a Saturday. Got there at around 11am and we were seated quickly. The place filled up fast after. All the dim sum we ordered were hot and delicious. The beef tripe was soft and tender. The fried tofu and xo radish cakes were fried crisply. The ling cod congee was nice and fish was fresh, albeit there were lots of bones, so be careful. Finally, the shrimp rice roll has a good amount of shrimp and the rice roll was soft. Service was efficient. They refilled our tea and got us chili sauce when we asked for it. Overall, it was an enjoyable dim sum but you can't help but cringe a bit at the increase in price all throughout. They charge tea service for $1.60 per person. For the 3 of us, the bill came to $66 sans tip! Nowadays, it's a luxury to eat out. read more

Had Dim Sum here Monday with 5 of us. Our friend who invited us was an hour late and when she arrived ordered way way too much food. It was very expensive with 4 piece dishes at $7.98 each. The staff wasn't very friendly towards her and seemed to ignore us at times, including the boss. Alot of the dishes I didn't care for. I'm a Pork Sui Mai, sticky rice and pan fried dumplings gal. Nothing else appeals to me. But thanks to our friend who paid for our lunch. I felt quit overwhelmed by the experience and not sure I'll be back. read more

So, Yan's Garden has been on my list of places to try for a number of years (I suppose it's partly because I used to watch "Wok with Yan" back in the 80's). I've been hesitant to stop by here in the past mainly because parking always looked difficult here as the parking lot is generally always full. We stopped by in early February (during the snowy weather) so we managed to grab one of the available parking spaces. A good thing too because the lot filled up rather quickly afterwards. We were surprised at how large this restaurant is because, from the outside, it appears to be a small location. However, despite the large footprint, the seating seemed a bit cramped... especially since they offer push-cart dim sum. First up was the Steamed Beef Rice Rolls ($5.28) and Pork Siu Mai ($5.28) topped with fish roe - staples for our dim sum outings. Two other classic Cantonese dim sum dishes followed quickly thereafter... Steamed Beef Balls ($5.58) and Steamed Chicken Feet ($5.28) in black bean sauce. The chicken feet were fairly tender but the dish seemed to be missing the black beans. The thing with push-cart style dim sum is that you have to wait sometimes for the dish you're looking for to show up. I also find that we tend to over order with push-cart dim sum. Our next dishes were the Pan-Fried Turnip Cake ($6.99) and Honeycomb Tripe ($5.28). I know that tripe (and chicken feet) can be a bit of an acquired taste for some people but you should really give it a try. By themselves, they don't have much flavour but they do take on the flavour of the sauce and the texture is quite different than other dishes. Their Stuffed Eggplant $5.58) turned out really nice with the perfect amount of light crispness to the bite and a generous filling. For dessert, we picked up these amazingly cute Mango and Lychee Bunnies ($5.58). They were almost too cute to eat... almost. The mango was really good with a perfectly smooth and velvety texture. Overall, the food here is pretty good. Service is a bit haphazard (they mistakenly marked a dish down twice for us and we had to flag them down to correct it). read more

One level above frozen dim sum. Portions are extremely small and prices are extremely high. Shortly after eating we were so thirsty, which means the food is full of MSG. There is no value for your money. 2 people $65.00. Not worth it at all, will never ever go back EVER!!!! read more

Last time delivery was a very long wait -not their fault but food was very overpriced and greasy. Most had to be tossed

I don't give a shit about your hipster art, the cocktails in a jar, and your orgo broccoli. I don't want to hear about the indie band that you think is so good playing down the street that needs to spend money hiring a new vocalist and not on another poorly done kanji tattoo. And I definitely could not care less that this "bao" is fusion MSG free-trade preservative free bought locally from the neighbourhood store (from a guy who probably got it shipped off a truck from Surrey anyways). This place keeps it real. It's a Chinese dim sum and seafood restaurant that's busy, so you know the seafood is fresh. They serve decent Chinese seafood for better prices than their competitors. It's a good neighbourhood place with a comfortable, decently clean setting. That's all that matters. When I want a beer, I order the beer. And I don't have to hear a 10 minute oral history about how they microbrew. I don't get gasps when I order a Bud Light. It's amazing. read more
