Review Parklane Chinese Restaurant - Richmond

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

Fair price with averaged food. You don't have to wait even on weekend mornings and lunch time.

A lunch experience at Parklane and it was wonderful frankly.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Service was quick and the place was crowded on a Friday afternoon. Have to recommend this place for the food on offer.<br/><br/>Food: 4.5/5<br/>Ambience: 4/5<br/>Service: 4/5<br/>Pricing: 4/5

This is not a traditional Chinese chic chow cuisine. All food tasted bad. The worst was the Fried Egg Noodle Serve with Sugar & Vinegar, for it used cheap and low quality noodles, despite its wired colour. The Steamed Sponge Cake was not tasted like traditional Sponge Cake. It tasted like a muffin. Both of the Chiu Chow Marinated Duck and Chiu Chow Marinated Pig Intestines were not fresh. The skin of the Steamed Duo Crystal Dumplings were too thick. The Deep Fried Pawn Balls were not crispy. There were little oysters in the Chiu Chow Fried Oyster Omelette.

A largely built server named Alson/Alton who saw me and my 13-month old baby from 7 feet deliberately knocked down my 13-month son as he walked passed us in the restaurant aisle. He wasn't carrying any food; and there were only 3 tables having customers at around 6:30 p.m. He didn't apologize. Instead, he commented, "Last time there was a toddler who walked in the aisle while I was serving congee. And he got spilled and was hospitalized." I couldn't bear this very rude response and said, "Why did you knock down my son deliberately? You should have at least apologized when you knocked down my son. Isn't this basic manner?" He replied, "It is your son who bumped on me." I was so shocked by this response...Well, I did fight back...but he never apologized.

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. <br/>They often very dinner sets at very reasonable pricing.

Sometimes things don't work as well as you hoped and its hard not to allow your review to be influenced by certain nagging details. For instance, if you go to Parklane for dim sum, don't let people push in front of you in line and don't accept the table nearest the hostess (we were offered to wait for another but I did not realize how annoying the location would be!). At this table, you have a constant audience of people waiting for the dining room and the hostess seemed to take up a position next to my head, to oversee the room. I was tempted to tickle her but she didn't seem too amused by anything ( I am just kidding about the tickling). I also was not stellar in my choices. The fried Taro Dumplings arrived first and they were very good. Also enjoyable were the Shrimp Dumplings. I went off script a little bit from there on. The Phoenix Talons with Peanut were a success and came covered in a mountain of peanuts. The chicken feet themselves were maybe a little on the skinny side but still tasty. Then things got less interesting. I am not sure what makes Bombay Fried Fish so "Bombay". Did they make the trip from there? This dish could have profited from a little sauce of some kind other than garlic chips. Finally, I chose Rice Roll with Minced Fish and also was not blown away, not that there was anything wrong with it. I should have offered some to our hostess as she stood next to me. From all the decent reviews from local experts, I perceive that my partner and I just had one of those experiences were things could have gone better. I noticed that we certainly did not leave hungry!

made a reservation for 10:30 for 9, and we arrived on time. But the hostess was a mess! I got no response after I told them about my arrival! I went to the manager and he said the reservation is only for priority to a table, so we still have to wait. I've waites now for 30 mins and still no table. So much for reservation! Wow! One of the worest run restaurant I've experienced!

Chiu Chow Dim Sum Lunch<br/><br/>Went there on a Sunday - a table for 2<br/><br/>Quite overcrowded however lucky to have a table for 2 in less than 5 minutes.  <br/><br/>Tried their Pan Fried Chiu Chow Rice Noodles, Chiu Chow Pork Dumplings w. Peanuts, Steamed Crispy Minced Fish Rice Rolls, Steamed Chicken Wraps, Pan Fried Lotus Root & Fish Paste Pan Cakes.<br/><br/>The Chiu Chow Rice Noodles Plate was quite tasty, give a thumb on this .  The Steamed Crispy Minced Fish Rice Rolls were a bit too salty and not very crispy.  Other dim sums were of above average quality however not very outstanding.  Quality of tea was good though....<br/><br/>Overall comment :  restaurant environment, services and food quality were all ok but a bit pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants in Richmond of the same standard.  Not bad to visit it once in a while.

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.<br/><br/>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. <br/>We ordered the set dinner for 6, that costs $158 total, so works out to be around $25/ person.<br/>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.<br/>- Chilled crab was actually delicious, the dungeness crab meat was really sweet.<br/>- Steamed fish, the fish meat was really tender, but it has a lot of bones. Not sure what type of fish.<br/>- Duck meat was very well marinated, very balanced taste (not too salty), and the meat was very tender too<br/>- 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.<br/>- For the soup, we got the fish maw soup. It was delicious!<br/>- Dessert was sweet green bean soup. I love it.<br/>- The fried rice, didn't came at all even after we finished all other dishes, so we asked to have it packed up instead.<br/><br/>Conclusions:<br/>- really good food, tastes like real authentic Asian dishes<br/>- 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<br/>- 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.<br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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!

HEY~~ I'm back~~~ All my final exams ended on the 28th, I took a few days to catch up on my work and sleep. Finally, I can start blogging again :D I still have to write articles for my dine out exp. about 4 months ago (time really flies...) Don't think you wanna hear any of my stressful life stories, let's just go on with the food~ Today, I want to start with the Dim Sum / Chinese Restaurant I went on April 5th. Taste ★★★★☆   Portion ★★★☆☆   Service ★★★★☆   Cost $$  Recommended - Wait was not long, price was fair, taste was decent. Service was pretty good. Overall, a really good experience. We went there on Sunday noon- couldn't find a place for dim sum without having to wait more than 30 minutes, so we were recommended to this place. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice (middle-upper class for Chinese restaurant). It is fairly large with many spaces for large groups of people. Here are the items we ordered: Dim sum order-sheet and our orders 6. Steamed Beef Ball 山竹牛肉球 -  This seems to be the dish all people love to order at dim sum places - I don't fancy it too much. They had cooked it really well here with good soup.

Received bad service on Christmas Day. Our dim sum took more than an hour to arrive, one of the server must be having a rough day and said "of course, it takes time to steam" and did not offer to check on our order. Talk about great customer service! :(

One of othe best dimsum places I have every tasted in Vancouver. I have been to almost all dim-sum restaurant in Richmond, and this one is definitely my favorite. I have dim-sum brunch twice a week on average and this 1 out of 3 times I will go to this one. If you order before 11:00am there is a 20% off discount.<br/><br/>I am just reading another review posted in Jan of 2014, which complaining about this place is too small and not kids friendly. I visited several times with my friends and their kids aged from 3 months to 5 yo, they all had no problem at all.<br/>The total dinning space of this place is around 4000-5000 sf i think. It is actually huge considering it is located in the center of Richmond.

.......1st time and ONLY time. 1) false advertisement - the combo dinner (with free crab served in cold) advertised on newspaper was not available. The manager just said the combo were unavailable without a valid reason given.<br/><br/>2) portion - small and overpriced....... for the $ spent I can easily pick a way better restaurants in Vancouver or Richmond. <br/><br/>3) tight space - not recommended if you are planning to go there with kids....really really tight space with chairs bumping back to back to each other<br/><br/>Overall dinner rating 2/10...... Again my opinion - 1st time and ONLY TIME

Enjoyed their dimsum dishes especially the Chiu chow marinated duck, tofu & egg. Unfortunately, I still suffer from the msg-related thirst a day later.

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

September 29, 2017<br/><br/>I went there for lunch my friend. I didn't go there at least few years.. surprisingly the food and portion are way better than before... My friend ate a lot..<br/><br/>2 girls had:<br/><br/>Oysters rice in soup... it's my favourite.. with a lot of oysters/ deep fried sliced salty fish inside<br/><br/>Pan fried tiger prawns with mixed mushrooms.... prawns are tasty, but mushrooms are too salty... it's worth $11<br/><br/>Minced pork rice noodles with xo sauce... can't taste any xo sauce ... only can taste dark soy sauce<br/><br/>Steamed chui chow dumplings... skin is thin with a lot of mixed mushrooms and peanut inside... not bad<br/><br/>Baked tapioca pudding with mashed taro root... tasteless<br/><br/>Egg yolk bun ... it's not hot... it's cold<br/><br/>They gave u bill, even u didn't ask for and not busy..<br/><br/>Chopsticks are so dirty.<br/><br/><br/>

We ended up here because the waiting time at Empire Seafood Restaurant was more than an hour (whoa!). Their hostess apologized and suggested us to try Parklane's dim sum, which was very close to Empire. J said Parklane was famous for their Chaozhou style food (a city in Eastern Guangdong province of China).  STEAMED SHRIMP RICE ROLL ($4.95) was cooked a bit different from other places. The rice roll was cooked with eggs and bean sprouts. Crunchy bean sprouts added a good texture to soft rice rolls and cooked eggs. STEAEMD BEEF TRIPE AND COMB ($4.45) was tasty as well. It was cooked very well, and the curry sauce was flavourful and just salty enough. 

The very authentic Chiu Chau restaurant, Parklane Chinese Restaurant, in the heart of Richmond. 10 mins (including traffic) from Richmond Center, this restaurant is hidden above London Drugs. There is only a few of these cuisine available in Vancouver. This restaurant out of all others ranked the highest in urban spoon.

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

The service was unfortunately a bit slow but made up for it by having pretty delicious food. Overall it’s a good place to consider if you are wanting dim sum and you are in richmond. Parklane Chinese Restaurant 200 – 7997 Westminster Hwy Richmond, BC V6X1A4 (604) 273-0888

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!

...likely the deep fried fish was not fresh. the fried noodle was good but likely may not visit for a period of time even though they just opened

      Parklane Chinese Restaurant 百樂潮州酒家 is a newly opened Chiu Chow style restaurant in Richmond. It is beside Charcoal Sushi and BBQ . Parklane took over what used to be Empire Seafood Restaurant 帝苑皇宴海鮮酒家. The space is modern with grey and white with two separate rooms. Service is prompt and pretty friendly. There is also a wide selection of dim sum to choose from during lunch – both Chiu Chow and Guangdon. Prices are catered to the high end starting with 4.95 / dish.    

Chiu Chow is famous for their “lo suey” or marinated food. The marinate is made from dark soy sauce and had to be marinated for hours. I especially liked the tofu here, it is very soft on the inside and the soft-boiled egg was amazing. (It’s a love-hate relationship when it boils down to soft-boiled eggs.)

We weren’t sure what to expect from the Deep Fried Beef Rice Wrap ($4.45) dish but I thought this was a really interesting item.  Inside the thin and crispy rice wrap were plenty of thin beef slices in a rich sauce.

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.
