"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.

"Residing at the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district, the Heritage Asian Eatery is actually a counter-service restaurant. They serve the delicious flavours brought straightaway from the Far-East, it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Prepared with local ingredients and traditional techniques, getting a taste of these delicious delicacies is indeed blissful."
"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."
"Dynasty boasts twinkling chandeliers, views over the city from its first-floor perch on West Broadway, and, thanks to chef Sam Leung, some of the city’s best modern Chinese food. Open daily from 10 a.m. for dim sum, its standouts are the buttery barbecue pork cha siu bao with baked lemon, and the silky, wafer-thin dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp, scallops, and black truffles."
"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."
"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."
"4853 Main St, Vancouver Tel: 604-879-7879 Web: n/a Twitter: n/a Advice: No reservations, cash only. With my friend Max’s craving for Long’s famous Xiao Long Bao, I joined him to share some of these Shanghainese soup dumplings, which then turned…"
"The rice burgers are also affordable, so you’ll eat something really nice without feeling a dent in your wallet. Get some of their super crispy chicken katsu with rice, or the popcorn chicken option. Messy to eat, but that’s the way a burger is supposed to be eaten!"
"One of the most unique concepts in fast food culture comes with an authentic Japanese twist. Burgers in hand-pressed rice buns!. The first of its kind originated in Japan, but soon took the global market by storm."
"Bambudda serves contemporary Chinese food in a modern setting. Inspiration is taken from Hong Kong and southern Chinese cuisine. Modern interpretations of Dim sum are also represented on the menu."
"A sleeper hit, Sushi Mania on Main Street is a great choice in a city that has intense competition for sushi places. All sushi combos are under $10, and udon bowls are 6 bucks. Definitely our top pick for a budget sushi spot to check out in Vancouver."
"A post shared by Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ (@gyukakujbbq) on Jun 3, 2019 at 12:05pm PDT. Gyu-Kaku is a “yakiniku” restaurant franchise that was first established by Rex Holdings Japan. What makes Gyu-Kaku restaurants exciting is that they allow the customer to cook the BBQ food themselves."
"This lunch spot specializes in serving up delicious, homemade bento boxes. We’ve got friends that have been going here for lunch for like 2 months straight and swear by it. That’s a good enough vouch-system for us, and it should be for you too."

"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."
"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."
"A post shared by Cafe Deux Soleils (@cafedeuxsoleils) on Apr 24, 2015 at 10:56am PDT. A longstanding fixture on Commercial Drive, Cafe Deux Soleils is a fam-jam friendly delight and welcomes play dates where parents can tip back a coffee or pint while kids play. It has a play area that doubles as a stage for evening events and features a giant chalkboard kids can doodle on."

The same stage that is used for these events at nighttime doubles as a play area for children during the day, complete with plenty of books, blocks, and coloring activities."
"It looks more like a lounge than pastaria, but don’t let appearances fool you. Everything is made from scratch in-house, and the atmosphere is relaxed but still adult-friendly. For parents there is the wicked carbonara, and stellar cocktail list, as well as a newly-installed pizza oven."
"When beloved red sauce joint Nick’s Spaghetti House closed after 62 years, the Savio Volpe team came through with a worthy, nostalgic replacement in Pepino’s. The spruced-up space on Commercial Drive maintains Nick’s wood paneling and sconce-lit dining area, and the menu remains timeless, with spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccini Alfredo, veal scallopini and the like. Pepino’s convivial vibe and friendly staff keeps the tradition of Nick’s alive."
"A post shared by Pepino’s (@pepinosspaghettihouse) on Nov 17, 2018 at 12:00pm PST. Savio Volpe’s sister restaurant, Pepino’s on Commercial Drive, is very kid-friendly and have the cutest bibs that make every kiddo look like tiny fancy foodie. With the motto that every meal should be a family affair, there’s an expectation wee ones are expected to behave like they’re at nonna’s house while joining mom and dad for Pepino’s signature pasta dishes."
"A post shared by Alana Yee (@yvreats) on Jan 14, 2019 at 8:40pm PST. Located at 631 Commercial Drive, this eatery took the place of one of Vancouver’s oldest restaurants Nick’s Spaghetti House after it closed after 62 years of operation. This classic spaghetti house features traditional Italian dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, veal parm, Caesar salad, shrimp scampi, and piccata along with baskets of white bread."
