Grand River Seafood Restaurant - Coquitlam, British Columbia

This one of our go to Chinese Restaurant. It's not fancy but it's clean and spacious. It's easily accessible and there is ample free parking. Unlike most Chinese restaurants where loud ambient noise and bustle is the norm, this place is surprisingly "quiet". The service is quick, efficient and unobtrusive. ... Although our last server - a young lad - has the nickname "Annoying Kid" on our bill, he was far from annoying! Ordering was easy. Some versions of their menu was Chinese only but they should have English versions available - just ask. The food comes fairly quickly. They quality is good - definitely above average. We like it that the food is less salty and oily than a lot of Chinese restaurant fares we have been experiencing. Their dim sum selections are excellent. In this day and age of rising prices, the prices here are really reasonable. Chinese restaurants seem to be notoriously not well ventilated. The best thing about this restaurant is that I don't finish my meal and come out of there smelling like I have been working in the kitchen all day long Appended: It has since changed ownership and restaurant style. The above no longer applies. Read more

Great food amazing service! Game to eat Dim Sum, very delicious! The spring rolls weren't too oily, the Shanghai soup dumplings had a few ripes but still tasted good. Probably one of my favourite dim sum places in the city!

Great dim sum. Great environment, friendly staff.

Had Dim Sum here today. It was not awful but it was not great either. They need to learn how to balance flavours properly. Food was piping hot though. Staff were very nice until the end when I asked a fellow for a box and he packed ... it up using the wrong end of my chopsticks which was kind of disgusting. All in all I won't be rushing back.

The food was very good (even the vegetarian dishes!) and the price was very reasonable. The staff was busy but helpful. They brought the check to the table before the dishes arrived, which I though unusual, and deterred me from getting desert. I only payed at the end, though. The ... portions are quite large, specially the dishes with noodles or rice. Read more
