Best Peking Duck in Vancouver.
They moved here from Cambie Street.
Always excellent good quality food.
I am their customer for more than 20 years.
I've been going to Flamingo ever since Cambie, Fraser Street and now the Marine Drive location. The quality of each location did vary sometimes when eating dim sum. I guess this is due to having a different cook.
My favourite location was Fraser Street because they had bigger portions like their Phoenix Prawns and fried squid. Also better recipes for their tripe(dark sauce) and lots of room. Now that they are on Marine Drive, I've noticed that some changes. There are no more steamed rice rolls and sauce that came with the fried shrimp dumpling, which contained apples and some kind of mayo.
The price is decent and the staff is pretty much the same people since the 80's(now that's dedication).
I enjoy pretty much everything there and miss the dishes that they discontinued. I do recommend reservations for dim sum because the Lee family has been around for quite some time and they have a huge following.
What an excellent experience. Having been to the original location on Cambie for many years I was keen on checking out the new location but was sad to see the poor reviews. Luckily, these reviews were all wrong!!From the outside it looks small but wow, clean, bright and ample seating. We were greeted right away and were given a table and brought tea and waters as soon as we sat down. We dined mid week during lunch and took advantage of the dim sum menu. Lot's of wonderful options all fairly priced and delicious. We ordered the sui mai, prawn dumplings, pork dumplings, house fried rice, taro leaf rice, green beans with pork and rice paper rolls. Wow, excellent, served hot and served with the accompaniments (vinegar, hot sauce and mustard). The owner and maitre'd were both walking around and topped off waters and tea, greeting guests and being gracious hosts. The servers were attentive and kind as well. The washrooms were also very clean and offered a baby change station which was great to see they cared about all future diner's needs. The restaurant was roughly 55% full and every diner seemed to be enjoying their meals. They offered ample seating and looked like they could easily accommodate larger groups. Overall an excellent experience. The food was delicious (total bill was $35 before tax and tip for dim sum), the new location is a worth the drive. I look forward to dining there again.
