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.
Mom just came back and it was her first dim sum in Canada this year. I wanted to take her to my favourite place, Empire Seafood but the lineup was horrifying. So we turned to their sister restaurant Parklane right across the plaza.
We noticed the Mini Noodle Lunch Specials – all the noodle dishes on this menu were only $8.80. So we ordered their signature Chiu Chow Seafood Rice Noodles. It was quite a different noodle dish from any other ones that I had tasted. The noodles were only blanched and neatly packed in the middle of the plate, and all other seafood and vegetable ingredients were not mixed in the noodles, but instead were just layered on top, finished with a clear seafood gravy sauce, making everything on the plate so glassy and pretty. Although the dish looked very bland, the flavours were all there – all the seafood pieces were so fresh and naturally sweet, and tasted perfect with the savoury gravy sauce. It was quite a delightful dish!
So Good!. Parklane Chinese Restaurarnt is a newly open Chiu Chow restaurant. When it first started out, it wasn't good. But now it is a awesome restaurant. It is a mix of Chiu Chow and Hong Kong cusine. Before 11 am it is 20% off. The dim sum prices are about $4.00. So good!
Decent Chiu Chow food, but not cheap. I'd give it a 3.75 out of 5. The waiters swear a lot though, & we saw the hostess sneaking a piece of food into a napkin from a dish that was going to a table. Very unprofessional staff

My mom wanted to do early bird dim sum at Parklane Chinese Restaurant so that we could get the 20% off discount, which seems to be offered by a lot of dim sum places these days. I was slightly cranky from being woken up so early on a Saturday morning. “This meal’d better be worth it, ” I mumbled. Well it was not bad, not bad at all! Ginger Shrimp Spring Roll had to be my favourite dish of the morning. Besides the refreshing kick from ginger, the sesame seed crust was just brilliant – it provided awesome looks, crispy texture, and great flavours to elevate such a common spring roll dish. Ginger Shrimp Spring Roll @ Parklane Chinese Restaurant Great shrimp dumplings! The size, the dumpling skin, and the filling – all ACED in my book. A fellow blogger has mentioned he was hoping for a kick from sesame oil. But in my opinion, the marinade of shrimp dumpling should be subtle! It’s all about the taste and texture from the freshest shrimps right front and centre! I couldn’t help taking a bit extra time to savour the dumplings. Shrimp Dumpling @ Parklane Chinese Restaurant Beef Rice Roll was pretty good and standard: the smooth and soft texture, the mild and pleasant flavours. But I probably like the version of binding pea shoot in the filling a little better at some other place. beef Rice Roll @ Parklane Parklane is actually a Chiuchownese restaurant other than a Cantonese one. So they offered a lot of Chiuchownese dim sum dishes as well. We picked Chiuchow pan fried dumpling as a tribute to my own Chiuchow root. My late father was Chiuchownese, although I was growing up in Canton speaking only Cantonese with my parents. Unfortunately the Chiuchow dumpling was my least favourite dish, it was not seasoned properly and the chive in the filling tasted a little burned. Pan Fried Chiuchow Dumpling @ Parklane Overall, Parklane offers the same quality of dim sum with their sister restaurant Empire Seafood right around the corner. And the 20% off early bird special (las
Parklane Chinese Restaurant had exceeded my initial expectations. I was more than content with my dinner here and am looking forward to the next chance I get to eat here. Every dish was of high quality, quantity, and taste. There was not a single major complaint I could make on any dish. The food is reasonably priced and affordable. Our waiter came by very often to change our dishes (although being a eco-friendly person, I would've preferred he come much less as I don't have the need to change my plate for every piece of food). Food was served at an acceptable pace. Our dinner here was perfect, and for a Chinese restaurant, that's an uncommon comment to receive. I would recommend Parklane Chinese Restaurant to anybody and everybody. Their Chiu Chow food is authentic and well executed, bravo!

The pepper pig stomach and salted vegetable soup is an incredible, unique tummy warmer on a cold day. White pepper jumps off your tongue, then segues into puckery saltiness.
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
