Top Best Chinese Restaurants in West Vancouver

"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.

"Dim sum fans should make a reservation at Kirin, a restaurant renowned for its award-winning dumplings. Ng recommends the chicken abalone steamed bun and the pork siu mai, which is made with hand-chopped meat. Preparing the pork this way is rare, she says, and gives it a distinct “contrasting crunchy and succulent texture” that stands out – even in a city that excels at Chinese cuisine."
