Enjoyed fantastic dim sum. Courteous, quick service and nice atmosphere.
My friends and I have a standing monthly date to come here ....... Excellent food...great service...it's busy especially on Sunday for 11am so reserve... you will not be disappointed!!!
If you grew up in Vancouver and you are Chinese, chances are, you’ve been to Sun Sui Wah for a wedding/baby celebration/any celebration etc. Soya sauce chicken: We weren’t planning on ordering this, but the waitress recommended it and said it was one of their best dishes. Well, she was right and we all enjoyed it! The chicken was well marinated, very tender and juicy.
4.3. Definitely one of the, if not top Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. We have been here for both dim sum and dinner, and found both excellent. Service is always top notch. You are paying for quality here, so be prepared to spend! Also, get here early if you can because it is always busy.
I honestly forgot to take photos of the food until dessert (tapioca pudding with red bean, which looks gross but don’t let appearances deceive you). C&J kept me liquored up all the way through, and I was kept busy with eating and conversation. There were the usual dishes of lobster, chicken, fish, at a Chinese full course meal. C&J added on sweet and sour pork as one of the dishes, which was unusual because it had lychee added into it. In my drunken haze, I remember that the chicken skin was very crispy, and the fried rice and yi mein was not too oily.
Had a gatherings - a total of 4 people on a busy Saturday afternoon. We ordered many dims sums such as : Prawn Dumplings, Pork Shrimp Shiu Mai, Beef Ten Tripe, Squid & Pig Skin (just a few small pieces of pig skin - a bit disappointed for this one), Pan Fried Sticky Rice (very good), Pan Fried Rice Rolls w. Soya Sauce (very good), Thousand Layer Sweet Cake (good). Most of the dim sums were above average.
We order a plate of Buddha's Fried Noodles - this one was not good. The noodles were too hard & not tasty, though lots of Siu Tong Veggies but just a few Buddha's veggies.
Overall comments : good and clean place with high ceilings, services were attentive; food was above average. A good Dim Sum Restaurant to go if you do not want to drive to Richmond.
Had a good time where, servers were patient and friendly and accommodated for my vegetarian family. Food was good too, but had to wait for a table even though we made resos early.
Sun Sui Wah and Kirin serve the best dim sum outside of Richmond. All the dishes we got were very fresh and delicious. The shrimp spring rolls were definitely the highlight of our meal.
Something about cold winter days and dim sum. I prefer Kirin over anything else in downtown, but that place without a reservation will most likely put you at 45 minutes wait. Ummm no thanks. The trick is to call ahead of time to reserve a table, I just always forget. Dimsum at Sun Sui Wah is pretty decent, we actually ordered three more dishes but I forgot to snap some photos, I was already enduring a food coma at that point. The restaurant is moderately large which is good for accommodating bigger groups. The service is good & fast. The quality is up to par with other dim sums in the area. I frequently dine here for family dinners, I don't find anything that special here besides the fact I don't have to wait for a table! Our meal was around $60-70, pretty standard for a higher-end Chinese restaurant.
They have a lot to choose from, and there are a surprising number of vegetarian options. The place also has a giant TV, which is pretty nice entertainment while you enjoy your food. I though the food was too oily, but a lot of Asian places tend to be quite oily. Other than that, I have no complaints.
Anyone who would look for dim sum in Vancouver knew where to get it at: right here. Sadly though, things have changed and not for the better. The service seems to have gone downhill, last time we went we were completely ignored and they were slow in changing the plates. Loved coming here esp when guests came from out of town but it seems the chef has been changed?
Sun Sui Wah is a solid Chinese restaurant featuring traditional banquet style Cantonese cuisine. And while there were few outright surprising dishes, what was offered was cooked perfectly and in a fashion that does Chinese food proud. An easy recommendation for anyone in the area.

Great Dungeness crab!!!😍 It was 3lb and the price was $27 per pound(probably it varies everyday). Before cooking, the staff showed me the live crab to confirm if it is the right size for me. I was happy to see the fresh crab and it took about 25mins to cook. While waiting, we ordered seafood fried rice and soup dumpling. For some reason, we could not find pricing in the menu. 🤔But we just ordered. Seafood fried rice turned out to be the best choice ever. The amount of seafood is so generous, and I loved the fish roe topped on the fried rice. The portion of the fried rice was also satisfying(good for 3people). Soup dumpling was disappointing compared to the one at Dynasty. Dumpling was already damaged before we ate. 😔So we could not enjoy the soup in them. However, when the crab was served, we forgot about the dumplings. The crab was deep-fried and it was full of crab meat. The crispy toppings on the crab was great. It did not ruin the natural crab flavor. I mixed the crispy toppings with the seafood fried rice. It became more enjoyable. After the satisfying meal, we ordered Mango pudding that is shaped as a wholesome corn. Even when it was served, I doubted if it was really Mango pudding, and after a bite, I was like "How clever!"☺️☺️ It was a real pudding and real Mango pieces were in them. And the milky sauce came with Mango pudding was also good. From now on, this place will be my spacial go-to restaurant !! I will come back with my loving ones ~😊
Every one of the dim sum items we ordered were very tasty. We only had a few plates, so I haven’t that much to go on. Service was good and there’s parking underground.
Dim sum is expensive, but dinner is very reasonable. The food is tasty, there is a small parking lot downstairs, if you are early, otherwise, street parking.
This always had been (and still is) my ‘go to’ favourite dim sum place to take out of town guests and friends. They have really stepped it up since Covid and are top notch when making sure customers stay safe. They check for ID & proof of vaccine. In addition, there’s a thermometer to check your hand’s temperature. Not sure how that works.
There are many pros to this place:
- Good quality and fresh food (the 4 of us pigged out on 16 dim sum dishes!). Group favourite was the crab claws and eggplant.
- Tables are socially distanced from other tables
- Good ambiance
- Service is prompt
- Complimentary parking is located downstairs with elevators taking you directly upstairs
- Reservations are available
Note: the corn on the cob photo is actually mango dessert! Delish! Definitely come here if you enjoy dim sum and/or want a great experience. You will be impressed!
First time at Sun Sui Wah, and it was a good experience. Everything tasted very good except the taro squares. Service was good and everything was clean and neat.
We had a great experience here! Mistakenly, we didn’t make a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in! Because it is seafood specialized we opted to get a lot of shrimp dishes which were so delicious. Another favourite was the BBQ pork buns. We would come back!
