A lunch experience at Parklane and it was wonderful frankly.
We ordered tofu with prawn, shrimp dumplings, rice wrap with lotus leaf, shredded chicken with jellyfish, red bean pudding, steamed bun with egg yolks and dried sole and pork in rice soup.
Food was generally well cooked and delicious. I personally liked the rice soup. The broth made it flavorsome and delicious. Dumplings were high quality and the tofu was surprisingly very good. The jellyfish was a pleasantly surprising new experience for me which I savoured. Didn't like the red bean pudding too much though.
Service was quick and the place was crowded on a Friday afternoon. Have to recommend this place for the food on offer.

Parklane Chinese Restaurant is located on the same floor as London Drugs in Richmond on Westminster and No. 3. They offer Chiu Chow style cuisine and also dim sum during the daytime. We visited during dinner time and the restaurant was quite packed. To start, we actually had the Pepper Pork Stomach Soup which I have never tried before. I am not a fan of intestines, so the stomach threw me off a bit, but the soup itself was very peppery. Not bad, but I thought it was a bit too spicy after a while. For appetizers, we started off with the Chiu Chow Fried Oyster Omelette which I really enjoyed. The sides were super crispy and there was a decent amount of oyster. Highly recommend getting this.

Authentic Chiu Chow cuisine. Love their pepper pork stomach soup. One of the best in Greater Vancouver. Their soy marinated duck also very flavorful. If you are lucky or if you preorder, you might be able to get the soy marinated goose.
They often very dinner sets at very reasonable pricing.
Went on a weekday with reservations. No wait at all. Service was mediocre, had to ask for tea fill ups & staff didn't look happy. Food was not bad, although some dishes we felt were a bit bland. Nice little quiet place for dim sum though.
Dinner specializes in more Chiu Chow style dishes. Their duck is delicious. Oyster pancake was scrumptious and not too oily. Fried rice was a little bland and dry though. Ribs were crispy and tangy but too big and hard to eat. Cold crab was delicious especially with the dark vinegar. Service was lacking (might be understaffed). Seem to experience unhappy servers the times I've gone.
We chose the menu that included a number of Chiu Chow signature items, and naturally those were the shining stars of the dinner. Overall the flavours were pretty good and I thought it was a good value for the money. I would’ve liked some tweaks to the fried rice and dessert, but I think it’s just a victim of big batch production.

We went to Parklane Chinese restaurant on a Saturday evening, around 7pm. The restaurant was fully packed, and we had to wait around 15 minutes to get a table. There are a few others who are waiting as well.
We ordered the set dinner for 6, that costs $158 total, so works out to be around $25/ person.
It included a few seafood dishes, for example Chilled Crab, Steamed Fish, and Deep fried shrimp balls. There's also a platter of marinated dishes, marinated duck, soup, fried rice, and dessert.
- Chilled crab was actually delicious, the dungeness crab meat was really sweet.
- Steamed fish, the fish meat was really tender, but it has a lot of bones. Not sure what type of fish.
- Duck meat was very well marinated, very balanced taste (not too salty), and the meat was very tender too
- Deep fried shrimp balls, are actually really filled with lots of real shrimp, and very thin coating, unlike the kinds one might get in a Canadian Chinese restaurant. This is a really good dish as well.
- For the soup, we got the fish maw soup. It was delicious!
- Dessert was sweet green bean soup. I love it.
- The fried rice, didn't came at all even after we finished all other dishes, so we asked to have it packed up instead.
Conclusions:
- really good food, tastes like real authentic Asian dishes
- dinner for six was definitely good choice, I would recommend it, especially if you're in a large group and nobody could ever decide what to order
- expect long waits, and some of the wait staff may seem unfriendly, impatient. But doesn't really matter to me. I come for good food, not to befriend a wait staff.
I approve this!

Dimsum, at very early morning but everyone was late so came in at the peak hours and need to wait quite a few minutes, like around 45-50 minutes. so then, would really recommend to book the table prior to coming in, and not really knowing the differences between the different kinds of dimsum, luckily my friend knows the difference and ordered quite a few items that are really distinctively chiuchow.
the only thing that i remember that is distinctively chiuchow is the soup and the deep fried crab meatball, they are both very delicious, flavourful and the taste is layered.
most of their items are definitely flavourful, and tasty as well, the char siu baos, ha kaos, siu mais, are awesome as well, definitely a good memory dining over there.
overall i would say the food is awesome and service is good, price of dimsum everyone forked around $20 ish it's definitely good. will recommend the place and will definitely come back for dimsum. didn't take all the photos due to hungryness taken over my instinct of taking pictures.
Parklane Restaurant is a Chiu Chow style restaurant located next to London Drugs on No. 3 and Westminster highway. The other Chinese restaurant beside London Drugs is Empire Restaurant (which is a bit more expensive I believe) so don’t get them confused. I like how it’s on the second floor and they have big windows that let lots of light come in! You also get a view of Kirin across the street and Richmond Centre. My parents were actually very late meeting my brother and I because they decided to do some last minute shopping…
Parklane is one of 2 Chinese restaurants located in the London Drugs plaza on No 3 /Westminster highway intersection. . We came here with family on a Sunday afternoon for dim sum so it was very busy even though we got reservations. . The parking lot is OK as long as you don’t mind driving up to the rooftop where it is less busy. Gladly, it is not as painful as the Aberdeen parking lot. The restaurant is on the 2nd level so if you are lucky, you can get a table by the window and have view overlooking the street.
This place deserves a rating higher than its current 3.5 rating. Every dim sum we tried was better than any dim sum I've had, even in hong kong. The custard bun was oozing, consistency just right. The bun was so smooth and went super well with the filling. It was so good we went there twice in a row just for the bun, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp dumplings were fresh, skin was thin, and went really well with the chili oil. The dough fritters were crispy, sauce was perfect. Porridge was top notch too.
Come at 10.30am to catch all the stir fried specials. Come at 9am to beat the crowd. Queues snake long from 10am to 2pm and the food justifies the wait if you need to wait anyway.
Very enjoyable dinner.
Servers aren't much for small talk but are very consistent in giving you a clean plate to dispose of bones or shells.
Food pricing for the combos are excellent value. Would recommend.
Pro tip: their salted vegetable soup and the chiu chow marinated duck is supposed to be their specialities. My mother said they are well known for that.
From the meal we ordered, I found they did the sauteed spare ribs in plum sauce very well. Normally, I don't care for deep fried things as much, but this was very good.
Above average food. You won't get disappointed for most food. The noodles in the picture wasn't that great. Anyway, it's worth to try!
Second try, still as delicious as the first, the teochew dishes are refreshing change from your regular dimsum fare. 2 thumbs up!
Every food is delicious there. Good service too but expect this is not a cheap place.
They’ve rebranded this dim sum restaurant and it’s a sister company of empire next door. Food is great, higher priced and has very select items
This restaurant has changed their name to Parkhill Seafood Restuarant. They are under rated on goggle. They deserve a 5 star. The food, service was priceless
