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.

Dropped by for a Sunday lunch - place was packed, as most dim sum related places would be…read more Service was good, however some dishes (pan fried bun) toke a questionable amount of time to arrive. Pan fried bun - long wait to receive, pretty greasy inside - however had a nice crunch to the bun. XLB - standard, the soup within was pretty tasty , watch out for the temperature as usual. Crab Claw - No idea why we decided to have this as lunch, was pretty impulsive - did take some time to arrive , very meaty , so nothing to complain about. Fried Tofu - was the dish highlight, nice crisp with a warm soft interior, spiced to perfection! Wine drunken Chicken - was soft and juicy, however aside from the cooking wine taste, there wasn't anything more to add. I would skip a re-visit , as Richmond is pretty competitive, however it's not bad and worth a shot.

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.

It's been a decade since we last had Alaskan King Crab, we wanted to go with a trusted restaurant…read moreso good old Sun Sui Wah is where we went. (Richmond is the location to be, we don't like the Vancouver location due to previous incident) We made a reservation two days before, and were immediately seated when we arrived. (11am for lunch). The place was maybe less than half full at the time, but was pretty full by the time we finished. The whole restaurant felt clean and comfortable. We were hoping for an 8 lb king crab (or less) as there were only five of us including two kids that ended up not really eating much of the crab (as expected), and the smallest they had was over 9 lbs, no big deal let's go! We had the king crab three way, garlic steamed for the legs, salt & pepper for the joints, and the rest was made into a fried rice. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, our cravings were truly satisfied. We also had several dim sum items for the kiddos, and they were happy with the quality (not pictured are BBQ pork bun, egg tarts, and XL). It was a pricey meal, but we were happy with getting our craving fixed.

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!

Save some stomach space for the carb-y items and dessert, and remember to ask for the senior discount if you have guests over 60 in your party.

We paid our bills and was finishing up our ice cream when the server came up and asked multiple times if we have paid.

It was very bizarre as he was the one who took our payment and we assumed he can see that the meals have been paid on his tablet. It was a very unconfortable experience and ruined our evening.

Absolutely positively amazing dim sum…read more * * * Vancouver and Richmond have so many extraordinary dim sum restaurants that the various "Best Of" Lists identify a huge number of potential "Best Dim Sum in Vancouver" candidates. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Dim Sum in Vancouver is simply on a higher level. * * * The largest concentration of utterly amazing places are in Richmond rather than Vancouver itself ... Although Vancouver has hundreds and hundreds of places to die for. So to say Richmond offers better choices than Vancouver is something you have to experience yourself to understand. Just go to Richmond and walk in anywhere. We have done a lot of that in past trips and we did a lot of that this trip. It is food orgasm every time. * * * Chef Tony's shows up on a lot of Best of Vancouver lists as do many many other places. If this place were in my home city, Austin, or even in San Francisco, there would be lines out the door. It is a smallish place with an overwhelmingly Chinese older clientele. When we were there, the World Cup Final was on with Spain playing Argentina. Half the tables - generally men - were watching. The elderly ladies at the other tables had their back to the TV and were continuing their conversation. * * * This is an order by menu place rather than take your chances on the carts. Given Chef Tony's small size, there would be unacceptable wastage on a rotating cart system. Frankly, Chef Tony's turned me into a convert on the order-exactly-what-you-want system. Seeing carts that look good, stuffing your face and then seeing the carts you really want is an all-too-common experience in dim sum places. * * * Everything we had was to die for. There is no sense in writing a gushy description of how good each plate was because the text would be the same. !!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGGG THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. Their dimsum looked really good, so I wished we could have come for that - next time!

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.

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.
