Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Bowen Island

"There are a ton of amazing places to enjoy dim sum in Vancouver, but Kirin never disappoints with their dim sum spread as it boasts authentic flavour and is also very reasonably priced. To truly experience dim sum, come with a larger group so you are able to sample several of their award-winning dishes like steamed prawn dumplings, pan-fried pork belly buns and xiao long bao, AKA soup dumplings.

"Praised by critics as one of the best premium Chinese dining experiences-exquisite seafood dishes in a warm, authentic and elegant atmosphere. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: Shirt/Slacks Req.Phone: +1 604-682-8833"

"A post shared by Heritage Asian Eatery (@eatheritage) on Jan 17, 2018 at 9:08pm PST. A sizable bao at Heritage goes for $5, not only making for an easy fillup, but quick eat-with-your-hands food to take on the go. You’ve got your choice of pork belly, duck, shiitake, and if in season, their housemade sausage."

"Chef Felix Zhou makes Bao buns at the Heritage Asian Eatery in Vancouver. Ben Nelms/The Globe and Mail. Quick-service casual is the fastest-growing dining segment in North America and we're bound to see much more of it."

"Co-founder and Chef Felix Zhou originally hails from southwest China sets the tone at this hip “fast-casual” restaurant, where Edison bulbs hang over a long communal wooden table and diner queue up for counter service."

"While most of the notable Chinese spots in the area are located beyond the Vancouver city limits in suburban Richmond, Dynasty is one of the exceptions. Specializing in Chiuchow cuisine, a sub-style of Cantonese cookery, Dynasty’s menu respects its birthplace: expect plenty of seafood, vegetables, and subtle, delicate flavors. The restaurant's reputation was largely built through the efforts of now-retired chef Sam Leung, who, in addition to employing classic Chiuchow approaches, wasn’t afraid to color outside the lines."

"A post shared by RC (@88theglobetrotter) on Aug 15, 2019 at 12:58pm PDT. Traditional Cantonese dishes with a touch of West Coast flair make for an unforgettable dim sum experience at Dynasty. The food and service is always consistently good and their Black Truffle Dumplings are downright addictive, so consider yourself warned."

"A post shared by Bill Addison (@bill_addison) on Dec 7, 2017 at 7:52pm PST. Another exceptional place to get traditional Chinese fare. This West Broadway restaurant is a fantastic spot for Dim Sum as well."

"Grand Chinese Yaletown Restaurant is conveniently situated in the heart of Yaletown, Vancouver. They are one of the diners of the Grand Chinese Restaurant brand. They primarily serve Sichuan (Szechuan) and Dim sum style Northern Chinese cuisine."

"A post shared by vieamaggi.com (@magmei) on Jan 27, 2016 at 11:59pm PST. What’s even better than dining in at Tsui Hang Village is their takeout window. They offer extensive service hours (typically open until 3 am) and have takeout combos that are cheap and add up to a feast."

"The weather may be warming up but that won’t stop me from having hot pot 🔥 — Featured: 🍂 Beef Hotpot ($14.42) – Napa, vermicelli, sliced beef, enoki mushrooms, tomatoes, tofu, tempura, corn, pork meat ball, fish cake, fried tofu skin, imitation crab stick, green onion and cilantro 🐮 🍃 Milk Cream Curry Hotpot ($14.29) – Napa, vermicelli, sliced pork, enoki mushroom, imitation crab stick, fish ball, fried tofu skin, corn, tempura, mountain yam, cheese string bean, and sea salt cream 🐷 — One of my favourite cheap eats has to be @boilingpointgroup 🍜 Not only are their dishes delicious but it also comes with a complimentary green/black tea during lunch 🍵.

"Kingsway's Sushi by Yuji is a small space so get here early to get a seat and be sure to order the Japanese gunkan style sushi (topped with fish roe), chopped scallop rolls and the delicate quails egg dishes. Affordable and generous in portion size (think thick-cut hamachi sashimi), this hole-in-the-wall joint is an East Vancouver gem. Price: Budget-friendly/mid-range"

"A post shared by Jason | Noms Mag (@yehitsfoodtime) on Feb 4, 2018 at 11:03pm PST. For a more casual scene, dine with Chef Yuji Nagaya at this small restaurant that seats around 20 people. The hole-in-the-wall place eschews fancy décor but still celebrates high-quality ingredients you’d expect from an authentic Japanese restaurant in Vancouver."

"This Kitsilano spot is atmospheric, romantic, and a bit mysterious, with its tight hours (5 p.m. to 9 p.m., closed Wednesdays) and retro-cozy dining room bedecked in octopus-themed Japanese kitsch. Here’s where to try gourmet novelties like a “shooter” of uni and rice, a foie gras “sushi pocket”, tempura lobster, or the “untouchable” nigiri with Wagyu beef, uni, and white truffles ($30 a pop). Consider the complimentary gummy candy octopi the spoonful of sugar you may need to help the bill go down"

"Octopus’s Garden has amazing food and a great bar, making it a great spot for great conversation over food and wine on date night with your significant other. The omakase is one to write home about, with high quality and a gorgeous presentation. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food in Vancouver, Octopus’s Garden is the spot for you."

"A post shared by Dempsey Charles Watson (@charles_princeofwhales) on Jun 14, 2015 at 1:46pm PDT. Did someone say $9 Mega beers?. Head to this hopping izakaya for brews the size of your head, Japanese tapas, sake, and a sweet patio tucked away above the hustle of Nelson Street."

"With a patio bigger than the restaurant itself, Guu Garden is great for entertaining large parties. The izakaya menu helps out as well since practically every dish is meant to be shared. We recommend trying anything that sounds good, we’ve yet to be disappointed."

"Guu is known as the first Izakaya (Japanese tapas) establishment in Vancouver, offering the most authentic real izakaya experience to Vancouver locals. Using freshest local ingredients with Japanese traditional culinary techniques (and our energetic"

"Ganache, as the name suggests, offers a little bit of Parisian elegance in the heart of Yaletown. Visit this talented team of artisans to enjoy eye-catching desserts that are pretty enough to provide a wow factor, and delicious enough to keep you coming back. Individual strawberry and rhubarb cheesecakes taste like a fresh summer’s day; these enchanting edibles feature an almond biscotti base, a tart strawberry balsamic glaze and a white chocolate garnish."

"Uniquely designed and handcrafted by a team of pastry chefs, the menu at Ganache is inspired by the seasons and changes regularly. The one consistent theme at Ganache is French technique with subtle Asian influences running throughout each of their incredible delicious pastries."

"Similar to my complaints about JJ Bean's croissant being too buttery, the almond croissant at Ganache was too sweet for me. The almond paste was extra moist and each bite felt more doughy than flaky. Almost no rise to speak of here, either, which is too many red flags for $5."
