This Shanghainese restaurant is tucked inside a Best Western Hotel, and this little gem serves elevated homestyle Shanghainese items you'll rarely find at other Shanghai restaurants in town. We started with the Cheung Kong Pork, which is similar to head cheese - slow simmered pork cooked down with bones to make a collagen rich aspic, cooled, cut into slabs and served with red vinegar to give the savory pork a tangy pop. As it was a hot summer day, our second dish was also cold: wild beg with bean curd. I think it's a typo and they meant wild veg, but this dish was an u expected fav of the night. Yes, it's a vegan dish but dont let that scare you. It was a well balanced dish with slight bitterness from the wild veg, slight nuttiness from the bean curd, and a herbaceous note from either the wild veg or a parsley herb added to the minced mixture. Our third cold dish was braised bean curd with Chinese mushrooms. This was an earthy unami packed dish that we enjoyed. We also had the deep fried yellowish which had a light batter with bits of nori added to it that added savoriness to the dish that was fried to perfection. It's not a Shanghainese dinner without ricecake and xiao long bao! We went with pan fried ricecake with shredded pork and salted vegetable - a lighter take vs hr usual ones you see at other venues with pork belly, as this version didnt leave you feeling super bloated after. The xiao long bao were tasty, though we prefer the dough to be paper thin vs medium thickness here. The pan fried pork buns seemed like they were steamed and then had their bottoms pan fried instead if being pan fried from start to finish, but still tasty. We rounded out the meal with some Shanghai spring rolls. Overall, a great place to have some Shanghainese fare. It gets pretty busy, so make sure you make reservations and cut the friendly staff some slack as they try to do 50million things at once
Meal: Leaf wrapped brisket steam in a gravy ontop of taro, Xiao Long Bao (XLB), Shanghainese fried rice cakes, and noodles with gravy meat sauce. **Please note, do not order by pictures cause the captions don't match the pictures**. Atmosphere: It's pretty loud in here, situated in the old breakfast place for Best Western.
Ordering a mix of dim sum and main dishes here definitely made quite an enjoyable lunch for our big party of 10 here. The popular dishes like the Steamed Soup Dumplings and the Chicken and Wonton Soup were pretty solid, but I found the first-time dishes like the Salt and Chilli Pork Hocks and the Fried Eels in Oil a lot more impressive. The service was good with the staff being attentive. If you are looking for a bigger meal, they offer set dinners with 10 courses too, which would cost over $30 per person, but in my opinion, it is totally worth it. I would like to come back here and hopefully have a feasting experience like what I had at the Shanghai Elan Restaurant

我本人挺喜歡吃上海菜，而在我居住的Burnaby 市內也有多家上海菜館 ，包括「聚」、「89°C上海餐廳」和「上海粗菜館」外，還有這家在2013年5月開業的上海飯店「錦江」，地點位於Best Western Hotel內，亦即是已結業的「京園小館」所在位置。聞說這家上海菜館跟多年前在列治文市的錦江有關，不管怎麼這對 Burnaby和附近居住的老饕們來說又可以多一處吃到上海小籠包啦。
錦江的地方不小但中間被廚房和服務台分隔為兩邊，雖然兩邊可以互通，但在感觀上不太連貫，亦增加服務生同時照顧兩邊客人的困難。店家在午市及晚市用餐時段非常爆滿，所以我建議大家最好先行訂座及儘量避開繁忙時段來用餐，一來點餐和上菜都不會延誤，廚房師傅也不至於太忙，可以用心為你烹煮每一道菜，特別是生煎包和油條真的用足心機做得脆而不焦，比平日繁忙時間的出品好吃百倍啊！

Jin Jiang Shanghai Restaurant (錦江上海菜) is located at Best Western Inn on Kingsway in Burnaby. It is between Royal Oak Ave and Denbigh Ave. It has under ground free parking.
This is a place which you want to go and try in a big group; otherwise, you would not be able to try most of their feature dishes. Especially they serve in big plate.
I highly encourage people to make reservation in advance. It is a super busy place. I have been to this place 4 times and mostly in a group 8-13. 4 out of 4 we had to wait extra 15-30 minutes for a table even we made reservation.
It is very hard to find an authentic Shanghai restaurant in Burnaby. Just be aware their poor services.

Found this new shanghainese restaurant for a group dinner. We ordered the set meal, jelly fish and stir fry rice cake. The taste is not bad but it's not something to go crazy about. The dumplings was not as hot as expected and I found the overall taste is just okay and could be umph up a bit. The drunken chicken is yummy tho but I do have bias over drunken chicken.
I finally got around to trying Jin Jiang Shanghai Restaurant with E’s family. I have heard about this restaurant from many extended family members and friends who have said nothing but positive things about it. The restaurant is harder to spot right now when you drive down Kingsway due to the construction going on with Best Western Inn. From what I was told, making reservations are highly recommended as tables get filled up quickly during busy hours.
September 13, 2015 · by ThatShanghaiGirl · Jing Jiang is pretty authentic and serves good shanghainese for a low price. This visit was definitely one of the best I’ve had so far because of the AH-mazing Pan fried pork buns!.........
The hotel is undergoing an update. As the renovation is right outside the restaurant, parking spots is a lot less than before.
The food quality is still good and the price is reasonable too.
Family Dinner. It's a traditional Shanghai
This is really good Shanghai cruise in Burnaby. My first time to try it since one of my friend invited me to had dinner. We came here 5 PM, ordered 13 dishes, they delivered food very quickly maybe during this period, not many guests. After 6:00PM a lot guests came, all the tables were occupied. Waitress is friendly and came to our table to check anything need to be added or let us control the amount of our ordered. We ordered a lot of Shanghai traditional, tasted good except crab powder with bean curve (this dish was not tasty like traditional one should be). When we pay the bill. The price was really impressive, not too expensive. Strongly recommend this place to friends and clients to gather here. Worthy to try.
Have dinner here with a group of friends and it was most enjoyable. The 8 treasure duck and the specialty chicken have to be preordered and these two dishes didn't disappoint. Very reasonable price too as the total came to $251 before gratuities. Regular order of the rice balls with wine was 8 balls only. There were 9 of us and we were served 9 balls, one for each without extra charge. Service was great and we did have our vaccine codes checked.
Pretty good food for the price. Service was just ok but still better than some other fun sum restaurants in this price class.
For a Sunday 11am start, still plenty of parking in their lot since it's in a Best Western Hotel lot. Nearby residential streets available for free parking as well.
I have another favourite for Shanghainese in Richmond which tastes somewhat better and dining room is nicer but you will pay a small premium for that as well as possibly compete for parking (no free Street parking there).
I was introduced to this place by a foodie friend who visited previously. A great choice! I was surprised to see that it’s located inside the Best Western Hotel on Kingsway. (A bonus – free parking). We arrived at 2 pm and was advised to order quickly before the kitchen closed at 3. We didn’t feel rush to leave. Overall, we were all impressed with the food quality, portions, and pricing. We had their Xiao Long Bao, Salted Pepper Spareribs (more meat than bone with just enough spiciness); egg white and shrimp on top of broccoli (sufficient shrimp); bean curd wrap (delish), half chicken (not dry), and fried rice wasn’t too dry). Their menu has a big selection in both lunch and dinner sizes including dim sum items.
Nice ambiance and it’s clean. Service was prompt. We’ll be back to try other dishes.
Very tasty food and the pan fry dumplings were amazing. The juicy pork dumpling weren't so juicy today
Came here for the first time and liked the food. Everything we tried was good. Will be back again.
