I came to know about Suhang Restaurant in Richmond as they are recommended in Tourism Richmond’s Dumpling Trail itinerary. Suhang is best known for their Xiao Long Bao also known as Pork Soup Dumplings. Strip Mall Restaurant with Relaxed Ambiance. Located on in a strip mall on Ackroyd Road, the restaurant doesn’t seem like much from the outside with all the blinds down. On the inside, the restaurant has a modest decor and seems like a cozy, casual place to enjoy a comforting meal.
One of the stops on Tourism of Richmond’s #DumplingTrail is “Su Huang”. The dumpling trail is a list of 9 different types of dumplings and the 20 best places to get them, as recommend by Tourism of Richmond. “Su Huang” is a smaller Chinese restaurant located in a plaza, on a side street off No.3 Road. They made it on to this coveted listing for their “Xiao long baos” alone. These steamed soup dumplings are one of the trendiest dumplings, regularly making appearances on instagram feeds. And here at “Su Huang”, they are made to order, all before your very eyes.
Going way, way back to our Mid-Autumn Festival family celebration, Hitman and I had dinner with my parents and relatives at Suhang Restaurant. It was his first time for Shanghainese food. The draw for me was that my uncle had pre-ordered the Beggar’s Chicken and I was excited to see and try it. I hadn’t known where to go for Beggar’s Chicken in Vancouver (in this case, Richmond) prior to this dinner.
Dinner with H and some of his mum’s friends the other night at Suhang Restaurant, close to Pricesmart in Richmond. I was too hungry and got too excited by the food to take photos, but luckily snapped this one of the meat buns:. A glimpse of the dish with egg whites is on my dirty plate in the bottom left corner. Usually, the egg whites and broccoli dish comes with seafood, but we held off on that for the vegetarians. Even without meat, it was delicious! A few other places do this dish, but this is the best one I’ve tried so far because the egg whites were just so smooth.
I heard their boss is from a famous restaurant in Suzhou. For a real Suzhounese I should say the food here is very authentic. The taste of fish soup and meat ball (Shizitou) really brings me back home.
Invited to dinner at this restaurant. All dishes were delicious, but many were sweet ( sugar). Diabetics beware.
Started with 2 appetizers: The ma lan tou was sweeter than other Shanghai resto. Two types of firm tofu curds were used, soya & plain. Sauce duck ( jang ya) was colourful, sweet and flavourful.
Slated duck yolk carb came as a bright saffron yellow dish with plenty of yolk and Shanghai glutinous rice cake (need goh). It was delicious and very rich.
The wonton chicken ( hot pot) had a delicious chicken broth with lots of Shanghai bok choi, bone in chicken and perk and vegetable wonton.
The fish tail in bean sauce was also delicious and sweet. This was a Ling cod tail braised in a brown bean paste sauce. Large serving.
The complimentary dessert soup was disappointing. It look great, but tasted very bland.
I'd like to go back for the Xiao Lung Baos and beggars chicken ( wrapped in lotus leaf and baked in clay. Looked yummy!

went here on a weekday night, and definitely pre ordered a few items, ba bao ya and beggar's chicken, not really knowing what will the end result be, never the less ordered a couple different items as well, and lo and behold the beggar's chicken came in, in this restaurant they use flour, i'm pretty sure it's because of government health regulation, but i would definitely try the mud version of it next time. so far the cold dishes are definitely alright. and the duck was awesome as well, no let downs for each and every dishes that was ordered, unfortunately i didn't know where are all the pictures of these restaurant but all of them like the cold dishes that i ordered are drunken chicken, fu qi fei pian, pork tripe stew chicken, braised pork with brown sauce(super fatty but definitelly worthy to be eaten.) and there are a few more. the ba bao ya is filled with glutinous rice, and the beggar chicken i think it's somewhat similar as well, can't remember for sure, but both were excellent
overall my group wasn't able to finish the food, so went for da bao/take out boxes, and maybe because the food was all so good and was not being able to tell the uniqueness of each dish, i took home the ba bao ya, and after nuking it, wow it still taste better than most food that I've tried, definitely worth it. would definitely recommend the restaurant
The restaurant space was not big, but it was certainly busy. The menu looked great and authentic, we were eager.We had three appetizers to share. The cold meat was flavored well, tender and tasty, salted just right — the closest way to describe it was a tenderer, very thick cut prosciutto.A dish called “Ma Lan Tou”, 馬蘭頭 , a mix of this vegetables that tasted like a cross of celery and spinach, with shredded tofu. The dish was delicious enough, but I wish for higher vegetables to tofu ratio.Another quintessential Shanghainese appetizer was, “kor-fu” in Shanghainese, a soy sauce braised gluten. The gluten were spongy, and soaked up sauce of sweet soy sauce and black Chinese mushrooms that they were cooked in, the way it ought to be.My dad and I both really were excited to try the authentic hot and sour soup, and sad ...
My parents love this place and is their top choice for shanghainese lunch or dinner. I have personal favourites including the ma lan tou and spicy wontons but they adore the pan fried rice cakes with pork chop as well as most of their other dishes. It is also less crowded than most other places. They have dinner specialties (order ahead) that i've tried including the 8 treasure duck (very little duck meat) and clay baked chicken (nothing too special?) but overall, it is on the pricey side but the food and service are both pretty good.
P.S. lunch is a better deal since the prices for dim sum are cheaper!
When Akina, friend and fellow food blogger of the site thisnewera.com visited me one afternoon, she had a craving for xiao long bao. Thus, Suhang it was. I’ve been to Suhang before and personally, it’s my favourite Shanghainese restaurant in Richmond (that I’ve tried). Not only is the food consistent, but the service is considerably better than most. The interior is not too shabby – the environment even friendly, so you don’t mind spending a few hours there. If you’ve ever been to Top Shanghai Cuisine, it is a known fact that the service is pretty much non-existent. Despite how good the food may be, I still prefer going to a restaurant where I don’t feel like I’m agitating the server or being rushed.

Fantastic Food, Great Service. Came for an early Mother's Day dinner today with a reservation and pre-ordered an Eight Treasures Stuffed Duck. Seating is comfortable, clean, and bright, albeit tight.
I hail the Xiao Long Bao here as the best in Vancouver, and I've been to many of the well known Shanghainese restaurants around here. The soup dumplings have skins that are not too thick nor too thin, the pork inside is extremely juicy and tender (not dry like a rock), and the soup inside could fill a large spoon. I don't usually fancy these but I couldn't help but help myself to two!
The stuffed duck was jam packed with sticky rice and sooo much chestnut, my favourite! There is definitely more filling than duck meat, which can be positive or negative depending on what you're looking for.
I would also recommend the seaweed fried fish; it's not oily AT ALL (absolutely no grease marks left on the paper lining), amazingly soft and delicately crispy.
We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary coconut jello for dessert; very rich in coconut flavour yet refreshing to the palate. The head male server even brought extra to our table seeing that there were "kids" (yeah, my brother and I are not even close to being kids...)
Regarding the service, I was actually blown away by the great service from all three of our servers. Each worked quickly, professionally, and with enthusiasm to make our experience as enjoyable as can be. It was evident that they had experience in the industry. Service isn't usually an important factor when I dine out, as I don't expect any at Chinese restaurants. However, at Suhang, service is phenomenal!
Excellent Food, Good Dinner. We came back from Seattles after Victoria Day holiday with friends. We were craving for Chinese food and decided to give Suhang a try although we have not been there for over a year. The food was delicious especially the Smoked Duck, Broccoli and egg white, pan fried pork buns. The restaurant served us complementary coconut jelly. We had a great time despite the concern about the chair after reading the recent review. To our surprise, the chairs were all new and comfortable especially for my husband who is over 200lbs. Will definitely try again.
Good food, OK service, BUT.... And this BUT really takes it away from the likelihood of coming back.
First the good stuff. The food came extremely fast. The fact that our order of cold plates came within matter of minutes was a shocker considering how packed this place was at a Sunday night.
The food was quite decent, the XiaoLongBao was definitely a hit. Same with our other orders such as Wu Xi pork and Vegetable Rice. Their food was not very salty either. Even the tea they use was not your typical Chinese restaurant batch teas.
The only thing we weren't satisfied was the chair itself. It's really a shame because the whole restaurant itself is decorated top notch, but the fact that the cushions on the chairs are basically so flat you can see the wood frame before you sit on it, let alone being comfortable.
Foods are so good yum yum
By Marc Smith 11 March, 2015 No Comments If you like this post say thanks by sharing it It seems like if I want great Chinese food then Richmond is the place to be and once again I’ve discovered a hidden gem within walking distance of a Canada Line Station . Now when I say it’s a hidden gem I mean it’s been hidden from me. Serious Shanghainese foodies have known about Suhang Restaurant for quite a while now but today will be my first visit. Joining me for lunch is Julia Dilworth , one of my friends from Tourism Richmond and also one of my sources for finding the best places to eat in Richmond. So far so good I’ve not been disappointed and based on what I’ve read about Suhang Restaurant today’s lunch won’t be any different. It’s time to get our Shanghainese on. Suhang Restaurant in Richmond
my brother visited home recently and he really missed chinese foods so we thought it would be nice to try something special at suhang and also, we can only order so much food when he's here to help eat it! xiao long bao ($7.50) - the flavour of the meat and juice is delicious with a skin that is a tad thicker than normal. i would recommend trying it despite its high price tag. 4/5 egg white with seafood ($19.80) - a must order for us at most shanghainese restaurants since it is usually a bit lighter. the egg whites are nice and fluffy but the seafood was only small pieces of shrimp and scallops. unfortunately, this rendition left an oilier taste in my mouth than i wanted. 3.5/5 meatball hot pot ($19.80) - did not get a chance to try, so i cannot comment. stuffed crispy duck ($52.80) - this duck has to be preordered and is a specialty here at suhang. the duck is hollowed out and filled with "jewels" including lots of sticky rice, egg yolk, some beans, chestnuts, mushrooms and some
One of my favorite Shanghai / Northern Chinese restaurants is Suhang in Richmond. My favourite dish there aside from the Steamed Soup Pork Buns is the Deep Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk Sauce. My cousin Jeremy and I pretty much devoured that dish by ourselves!

Depending on the chef, this restaurant has been hit and miss in the past. Today, it was definitely a ‘hit.’ All three dishes were well made and the complimentary dessert added a refreshing ending. I would certainly recommend all three dishes to others. The price is not outrageous and the service is okay. The restaurant is not extremely loud, as some Chinese eateries can get, so the atmosphere is certainly
Normally this dish is packed in mud and then baked for a few hours but Suhang bakes it in giant bread case. They usually bring it out to the table in all it's bread casing glory, show the patrons and then bring it back into the kitchen for the casing to be removed. It then returns to the table still wrapped in lotus leaves and is unwrapped it tableside - quite a production, n'est pas? The dish consists of sticky rice combined with Chinese mushrooms, edamame beans and chestnuts in a soy based sauce baked inside of a chicken - since it's wrapped in lotus leaves, the moisture is trapped making for a very tender and flavorful fall-off-the-bone chicken. We've had this dish on several occasions and it's a favorite of this Piglet but this time it was a bit TOO moist, like it had been baked for too long.
Had a sudden craving for Shanghai food this week, so decided to go back to Suhang for a delicious filling dinner.
When it comes to Shanghainese restuarants, SuHang is one that is often forgotten maybe because it is hidden inside a strip mall behind Smart Foods in Richmond or that it simply just don’t live up to the reputation of other more popular Shanghai Restaurants in Vancouver. I had reserved this restaurant for my Father’s Day dinner this year a few days ahead of time. I actually had long forgotten this restaurant, it was my girlfriend who suggested this place, knowing my parents adore Shanghainese cuisine. And what a bad day together for my camera, so we I had to dig out my Google Nexus S for tonight’s dinner. Hot & Sour Soup First up is the Hot & Sour Soup. The soup is really hot (IMHO), but not unbearable. However, I do see the ho
First thing we ordered, of course, was the xiao long bao ($5.50) . It really has been a while since I've had xlb... The last time was at Dinesty a month ago. These ones, I think, are better than those. In comparison, these are much bi
This Chinese New Year we celebrated with a dinner at Suhang Restaurant in Richmond. The five of us decided to order one dish each except myself, because there were two dishes I really wanted to try here. I ordered Peking Duck and Pan Fried Rice Cakes with Vegetables , and the rest of the table ordered the Xiao Long Bao , Shanghai Fried Noodles , Tofu with Ham and Chinese Pork Hock . The Xiao Long Bao came first and they were really good. They were really juicy and the meat tasted fresh. The Peking Duck's crispy skin was really crispy, fatty and yummy. This dish only came with 8 wrap sheets, which wasn't enough for all the crispy skins on the dish or all of us to have 2 wraps. So we asked for more wrap sheets, they gave us another 8 without telling us it cost another $4. The Tofu with Ham dish didn't look like what it sounds at all. It was tofu cut in noodle like shape in a soup with vegetables, shrimp and thing slices of ham. This dish was fl
This was actually my 2nd visit to Suhang restaurant. I found the service to be consistently mediocre, food is a hit and miss, although generally speaking most are not bad. Personally I wouldn't make a trip just for this restaurant, but would come back if I am in the area or other restaurants are filled up.
There are a lot Shanghainese restaurants in Richmond. For the great majority of them, each of the restaurants are very good. A few really good ones comes to mind: Shanghai River Top Shanghai Chen's Shanghai No 1 Shanghai Here is one more that is worthy to
Food was really good, Servers were nice. Although a bit pricey. Salted pork belly in clay pot was fantastic.
One of the many Shanghai Restaurants in Richmond, it did not disappoint me. if you have a large group I would highly recommend to make a reservation ahead of time
Majority of the food were very satisfactory, aside for the duck is a bit dry. The Shanghai Dumpling was hot and steamy as it came out, the wrapping was nice and thin and it did not break when I was trying to eat it; my skills with Chopstick is really bad so that means something
After the meal, there was a complementary jelly dessert it was nice and refreshing

After speaking of my desire to try beggar's chicken, 叫化鸡, my girlfriend surprised me by taking me to Suhang for supper.
Suhang Restaurant requires you to call at least the day prior to let them know you will be joining them to eat the 叫化鸡. I've never had it before, and admittedly wanted to try it after reading about it in Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes series.
When we arrived we were greeted promptly and seated quickly as they were expecting us. Once we were sat down the waiter brought us warm water and took our drink orders. We also ordered the Garlic Cucumber with Chili Sauce (pictured), and the Pan-Fried Shanghai Noodles. No sooner did we place our order and the chicken was being brought out to the table. When the chicken came out it was wrapped beautifully in lotus leaves, and the waitress manipulated her knife and fork effortlessly to reveal the delicious bird, stuffed with rice, chestnuts and egg yolk. I'm sure there was more that I wasn't able to taste, but my North American palate was brought to life.
We are as much of the chicken as humanly possible - but between two people it looked like we barely scratched the surface - and brought the rest home. I won't mind eating leftovers for a couple days at least!
It's a wonderful experience, and made even better when you stop to think how much work went into preparing the meal for you. I would highly recommend it to those curious! 很好吃！谢谢！

My first time at Suhang for lunch with my mother. We were very impressed with their customer service. I hate to say this, but with some chinese diners, they don't care about providing good service to their patrons and yet, they still expect a tip. At Suhang, they were the complete opposite; very welcoming, attentive and even thanked us when we left. You can tell they appreciated customers dining with them.
The entrees were reasonably priced and taste good too. We needed a take out container and just assumed we would be charged. But nope, nothing on the bill.They also provided complimentary desert which was a nice touch. Also for convenience to customers, they take debit & credit cards; which is rare for some asian diners. Another plus for this place because it reflects the changing times with convid in providing customers with payment options. My mom left her eye glass case and the server went out of her way to run after us in the parking to return it.
We would definitely dine at this place again.
