My family went to Kirin for Dimsum last weekend and ordered the standard dishes; shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp, rice rolls, chicken feet, etc. The food was pretty good but perhaps placed too much on presentation over quality and price. The final price came to close to $65 - compared to maybe $30 I would pay in LA or in... More

Great selection of traditional dim sum offerings. I imagine if you wanted to splurge, you could go really big here. We saw some gorgeous lobster go by. All the dim sum was first rate, well prepared and promptly delivered (most of it was not served off of carts when we visited for a Friday lunch). The staff speaks Chinese first,... More

Dim Sum here is great. Not cheap, but high quality. My wife and I have a bit of trouble with the menu, not sure why, but no other complaints. This is a busy restaurant, so make reservations if you are coming for Dim Sum.

There are an untold number of good restaurants serving Chinese food in Vancouver and surrounding areas. We always go to Kirin Seafood Restaurant in Richmond when we stay at the River Rock Casino Resort before or after flying in an out of Vancouver. The food has been outstanding and we say this as folks who dine on Chinese food at... More

just like all the other dim sum places in vancouver, this place is always packed after noon on the weekends. I would suggest either go early or go during the week. The place does offer early bird discount for those who leave by 11ish (may want to call them to ask ahead of time). The food is always good here... More

We took others' advice and had made reservations for 5:30 dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated right away, but the restaurant filled up fast with large groups. Nonetheless, we had very attentive waiters. The delicious food was authentic Chinese cuisine and very fresh. There are tanks of live lobsters, Alaskan king crab, geoduck clams and snapper. The menu... More

I know that there are MANY Chinese Restaurants in Richmond, but Kirin is very good. I have previously had dim sum at their Vancouver location, which was fantastic. But last night I went for dinner and was also impressed. Our waiter was very helpful with our questions. The best dish by far was the moo shu pork, which came with... More

This is the best seafood Dim Sum I have had outside of Hong Kong. Reservations are recommended for weekends. Service is excellent and the quality of the food is evident. Some of the highlights (sorry for the spelling): woo gock (taro ball); siu my (pork dumpling); dai tzi gau (scallop dumpling) and the sticky rice with chicken (tsun tsu guy).... More

Used to be one of my favorable dim sum restaurants in Richmond but I have visited less recently because they are always fully booked especially during weekends or at lunch hours. Make sure you have made prior reservation and still be prepared to wait in order to get your table. Last minute booking will usually be disappointed unless you can... More
