This location is the newest of the few. Located at Starlight Casino in New Westminster there is ample parking.
Service here has been pretty good consistently, beyond the service you get anywhere else. They are quick at refilling your teapots and are always clearing off empty dishes. They also don't kick you out like most restaurants after you pay your bill.
Dim sum is pretty good here. They add a twist to your typical popular dishes and they also have some more creative dishes as well that other restaurants don't serve. Food is usually hot from the steamer/fryer.
Prices are above average but worth it for the quality and service.
After a disappointing experience and the last Kirin, my family was willing to try somewhere new, yet not stray from the restaurant chain that they like. So we found ourselves travelling all the way to New Westminster for this location of Kirin, within the “Starlight Casino”; instead of their downtown or Cambie street one, that is actually much more convenient for us.
Went for birthday dinner with friends. The quality of their food has became better than the main branch in Richmond. Especially loved the special grilled chicken. The meat was juicy and tasty.
Despite the price ofthe food, it is worth it! Never said chinese dim sum better anywhere else! My favourite will have to be the lotus leaf sticky rice and rice noodle from this place ! I would recommend anyone to go here if they want to drive 10 minutes out of Rochmind for delicious dim sum.
We were at Kirin at Starlight Casino, and it was just about the best Chinese food I’ve ever had (maybe it was the wine too). Above is the abalone we sampled that night, and it tasted as good as it looked. Just the right amount of savouriness, perfect chewy texture. I don’t know about other Kirin’s, but this one was impressive.

Kirin is an elevated cantonese seafood resturaunt. The New West location is beautiful inside, the detail to the decor and ambiance is so upscale.Gives a different feel to normal "cantoese seafood" establishments. The location screams fine dining/classy- totally a place to host chinese weddings!!
We tried coming on a thursday night, arriving at prime dinner time at 6pm- it was totally packed. This visit though, on tuesday we were sure to make a reservation.
Getting there at 5pm, we were the only ones there- YAY! Service from start to finish was very attentive. Servers were well acquainted with the menu and were all able to make recommendations. Through out he whole dining experience - servers were ontop of all empty cups and plates. They even help you put the napkin on your lap if needed. omg.
There was one man who I believe was a manager who went above and beyond for service entirely. Friendly and funny definitley left a very good impression!
Food is on the pricier side- but all was well presented. My favorite was the appetizer dish.
Deep Fried Shrimp with a sticky gingery glaze - soooo good,
Table favorite was the peas stire fried with garlic and onions. Crisp veggies with a strong aroma of garlic.
Complimentary desser was SO GOOD. The sweetened soup which was served cold, which i believe was mango.. WAS SOOO GOOD. We were all pretty full, but even then- it was a really great end to the service. If anything - just come for the dessert. So worth it.
The atmosphere and ambiance is very different to standard chinese resturants. Staff are very attentive, and food isn't drenched in oil. Kirin is a place I'd definitley think of coming back again, food was delicious. Resturaunt is beautiful, something you don't see very much in Edmonton.
I totally recommend!
During my short trip to Vancouver, dim sum was near the top of my must eats list. I reached out to a few Vancouver bloggers, and the consensus was to visit a location of Kirin Seafood, that was known to be a good balance between quality and price. My friends and I were able to squeeze in two dim sum meals over the weekend, with Kirin Seafood being the most memorable.
Great ambience. Great staff. Food came out promptly and was great, especially the seafood dishes. Tends to get busy so make reservations. Can't wait to come back.
went here for a new year's dinner, and there were okay amount of people, as usual kirin is one of the higher end of chinese food within the town, but as usual the items that i usually order are the regular ones too over here... i didn't doubt their cooking will be bad or the taste will be off, but the price range is definitely out of my reach. :) and so started with hot and sour soup. definitely good, can taste the sourness that is just right from the soup along with the ingredients's subtle sweetness bring good pairing with the soup. then have deep fried shrimps, mapo tofu, beef with veggies, chicken with cashews, everything went pretty well, no doubt about it. as usual kirin does bring the high standard as well.

After the horrid clusterf*** that we had at Top Shanghai Cuisine, we felt we needed to redo dim sum so we headed over to Kirin Seafood at Starlight Casino.
Honestly, things didn’t start out well here either. First off, they gave us the wrong menu (with no dim sum on it)… we thought… WTF??? We came all the way here for dim sum and they weren’t serving dim sum?!?! After a rather long wait to flag someone down, we thankfully managed to get a dim sum menu and were on our way.
I love how the tables aren’t too cramped here. For some reason, it took a rather long while for our food to come out… so when it did start to arrive, we gobbled things down really quickly. First up was the BBQ Pork Buns which were pillowy soft.
That was followed by the Chinese Donut Rice Roll topped with pork floss. This has a nice textural contrast from the silky smooth rice roll to the crunchy Chinese donut on the inside.
Dessert came next with a very subtle Pineapple Jelly.
The steamed pork and prawn Siu Mai was a pretty good dumpling dish.
Steamed Beef Balls with water chestnuts.
Sticky Rice wrapped in lotus leaves.
As it was, the service here did improve as our meal progressed. But it was way better than at Top Shanghai.
Pardon my half eaten dishes LOL we were all so hungry. Dim sum was decent and we were satisfied. Service was a little bit unusual especially if you don't speak Chinese...but overall friendly. Prices were a bit high for some of the portion sizes and the menu items are a bit different than typical dim sum places.

I brought a couple of out of town friends here based on a friend’s recommendation. If you’re looking for the same old, same old dim sum dishes, you won’t find it here. Our hopes were set high for the sesame seed deep fried balls and the deep fried ‘footballs’, and were majorly disappointed. The prices were reasonable based on the quality.
The dim sum menu had 50 items which is small compared to many other dim sum places. Our favourites were Deep Fried Halibut in Premium Soy Sauce; Steamed Scallop & Pureed Truffle Rice Roll; Steamed Prawn, Pork, & Enoki Mushroom Bean Curd Roll; Pork & Chinese Mushroom Pastry topped w/Abalone; Egg Custard Tart & Deep Fried Egg Chip w/syrup. Checkout the photos as you’ll be drooling. Everything was tasty. Service was good and efficient. The server was good in making suggestions. A good selection of ramen, fried rice, and noodle dishes which we passed on.
There’s plenty of free parking near the restaurant. Only steps away from the Starlight Casino. We were able to make reservations. Nice ambience.
Always have great experience in this place! Ken, and Chad are great servers! We live nearby and we often visit this local restaurant. Their food quality is top notched. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Top notch Chinese food. Came here for a Chinese banquet and everything tasted amazing and perfectly made! Service was highly professional and food quality was wow. Classy Chinese food experience.
As of this date, hands down the best overall Chinese restaurant. I drive to Vancouver BC from Seattle often to just eat here. Amazing value and quality. Come here for both dimsum and dinner.
Good place to have a wedding reception. Ton of seafood options like lobster and deep fried crab claw. I couldn’t give 5 star because the food was above average but nothing special. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It’s also next the starlight casino.
Really nice place for family or friends gathering , place is spacious , we eat Dianxin here, taste good, service waiter always checked at our table. Will recommend my friends here in the future.
The food and service here was so good!
We got this ten course meal and the dishes were all really good! Especially loved the fish/congee, crispy pork, noodles, and desserts.
Also really liked the interiors which looked very grand, and had a palace feel.
The restaurant is a bit tricky to find because it is located beside a casino.
