Dragon Group Seafood Restaurant has taken over the spot where South Ocean used to be. I remember I used to go to South Ocean quite a bit when I was younger. The restaurant has been re-decorated to give it a more high end feel. First off, we had the Pan Fried Rice Rolls. We found the portion to be smaller in comparison with some other restaurants but the taste and texture was good.
龍匯軒 Dragon Group Restaurant (新不如舊的茶市)
個人推介：星期一至五 11點前結賬 8折免茶，星期六日假期11點前結賬 9折免茶
位於溫哥華列治文市Garden City和Alderbridge Way交界超過十年的老店“南海漁村海鮮酒家”經過一段時間停業和裝修後終於重新開幕，換上了一個新名字“龍匯軒”。我心中一直很想知道這家新酒家的茶市到底做得怎樣？今天終於得償所願，可以親身體驗到了。新酒家從門面來看都翻新了，內部的枱椅地毯以至燈飾都換上新裝，比以前的南海漁村來得高級。至於茶市點心的名稱及價格看來，這裡走的是中上價錢消費路線，例如什麼黑松露燒賣、日式芥末海鮮盞等，都冠上一個特色的食材配搭。
經過親身體驗後個人認為以前的南海漁村更划算更好吃，雖然南海漁村的佈置和裝潢不是很時尚，但它跟其它酒樓茶市不同之處是没有點心紙，這裡的茶市點心都使用最原始的人工喊賣手推車形式，將各式點心推到你面前讓你挑選，看到車上喜歡的點心，只要向服務生拿就行。真的很回味以前南海漁村那種懷舊風格，可惜現在已被點心紙取締了。

We enjoyed our dinner. The whole crab was cooked properly, and the sticky rice underneath was a treat as it absorbed the flavour from the crab. They also nailed the tong choy stir fry, which is usually a tricky dish. The service was decent as well as our waiter was pretty attentive. This is no longer the cheap old South Ocean Seafood, so expect the price to be dramatically higher. But if they offer special deals on seafood, definitely take advantage of that!
This restaurant used to be the old South Ocean. It has now been renovated and looks pretty decent. Have yet to try dinner but dim sum is pretty good. Dishes come out pretty quick as soon as you order. They try to be different with dishes such as "tom yum" omasum and "truffle" siu mai. The omasum just tasted like any other regular omasum dim sum dish, but the truffle siu mai was a good touch. The tendon & beef stomach dish only had 1 piece of stomach so that was a bit of a disappointment. Menu prices range from average to a bit above average but there is 20% off with free tea before 11 am and 10% off with free tea after 11 am which offsets costs. Beware of parking. Must park in the lot in front of the restaurant as the lot next to it is not part of the plaza. There is an undercover lot agent that spies around and gives out tickets!!!
Dim sum discount:
Mon-Fri before 11am 20% off, after 11am 10% off
Sat-Sun all day 10% off
Tea is $1.50/person
Some dim sum dishes are good, some not so much. Recommend: #4 siu Mai, #12 steamed tri-buns (1 chicken, 1 BBQ pork, 1 egg yolk), #21 deep fried eggplant
Avoid: #36 rice rolls wrapped in Chinese donut (the donut was clearly not fresh and rock hard), #1 dumpling with seafood aka koon tong gao (broth was bad with no seafood or umami taste, pure salt, and the insides of dumpling was a big chunk of flour/shrimp that didn't resemble anything like a typical koon tong gao)
Overall, worth a try to see which dimsum are good. Price is on the lower end compared to other places in Richmond nowadays.
We kept driving by this restaurant every week so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Service was great, prices were good and the food tasted very fresh. Only complaints were that chicken feet was dry, with almost no sauce on the plate and the ribs were tough and chewy. They seems to have a lot of return customers as the waiters seems to know most of them by name. I would definitely come back again
June 30/19 - Decided to give them a try for dinner. Really happy that dinner is just as good as their dim sum. Service is good and waiters are friendly. Only downside is that they are overpriced for what you are getting. We ordered 3 dishes and our bill was over $100 including tips.
Feb 22/20 - We went back for dim sum and found they had change ownership. The food is still pretty good and the they were offering 20% discounts until noon. They aren't as busy as they use to be, and all they old waiters were all gone. Service definitely wasn't as good as they once was.
Great taste. The lobster rice was only $39.99. Clean environment. Distantly spaced. Covid friendly. The rate at which they put out the dishes was slow. We waited 35 min from ordering to getting the food. But the taste made the wait worth it!
I'm very impressed with Dragon Group. I came here with a big group and they were very accommodating. The food was top notch and I was specifically impressed by the pork belly. The service was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant looks great and it was a very comfortable setting. The prices were very reasonable and for that reason we will be back for sure.
Decent dim sum Place. Very busy though, and the tables are so close to each other, kinda hard to move around. The chairs are very closely seated together as well.
Today being served by more courteous personnel... Table cloth still not thoroughly cleaned, has stain....
Dim sum varieties are good....
