Service was phenomenal! They were very attentive and made sure to change our plates often. Good wise I would say it's a little better than what I've had in the states but not that much better. The abalone sauce was a little on the salty side for me.
I notice all the staff here are very friendly. I like the fact that there are Telsa charging stations within walking distance of the restaurant. The quality of the food seems to be fresh and everything we had was tasty. My favorite was their house fried rice. A bit on the pricey side but the theme of the place seems to be an upscale Chinese restaurant( fine dining).
The restaurant overall is clean, but the bathroom and hallway need some attention.
I will likely dine here again if I happen to charge my car in this area.
This review is about their dinner (as opposed to their dim sum, which I have heard is great too). The food and service for dinner were both memorably great. Their baked tapioca dessert, which you have to preorder, was one of the highlights of the night along with the tender and flavorful abalone. The service was attentive and friendly as well. They put up holiday decorations for December, making the dining experience festive. This restaurant is conveniently located beside Richmond Centre as well, so transit and parking are easy to arrange.
Apparently getting a reservation is a good idea... Even on a Thursday morning at 10 am lol. There was a huge crowd of people waiting to get in. They all seemed like locals as well. That said we got lucky and were seated, and boy was it delicious! Loved everything!
We recently moved to the area from NYC, so our standards for authentic Canto dim sum are high. Food is good quality! The environs are clean and classy. We got a reservation for 10am (opening hour) a day ahead of time, and the place was already packed when we arrived. The cons: the menu is a bit smaller than usual, and prices are understandably higher than usual.
Absolutely one of the best dim sum places in Richmond. A little bit pricier than most but definitely still affordable. Make sure to make a reservation and try out the egg tart!
Loved the softness of their steamed short ribs and their beef rice roll.
I have been coming to Kirin restaurant ever since I was a child and I am never ever disappointed by their dim sum.
Their ingredients are always the freshest and are so tasty and flavourful. I would highly recommend their shrimp dumplings as they are so succulent and the dumpling wrap itself is not too thick. As for desserts, their durian mochi and egg tarts are always a must-have and my family always makes sure to save a plate for the end.
The service is always really attentive as well, always making sure to change the plates whenever they get too full.
To anyone who's looking for some of the best dim sum in Metro Vancouver, I would highly recommend Kirin. Make sure to book a reservation as well as they are always busy!
