Gingeri Chinese Cuisine - Richmond, British Columbia

Been years since we last dined at Gingeri in Lansdowne. We were in the area in January so decided to try them out again. First off, the chiu chow style dumplings were good. They were stuffed with plentiful filling and had a soft and translucent skin. The beef rice roll was ok ... but thought the rice roll was a bit too thick. The deep fried crab claw with shrimp paste were pretty tiny and served with a sweet and tangy dipping sauce. Nice that you can get it outside of a banquet meal. The steamed mini sticky rice was ok... nothing great or bad... just standard. We did like the book tripe (beef omasum) in green onion and ginger sauce. Big portion and tender. Ended with the baked tapioca pudding with taro. This wasn't that great. The texture was off and didn't have a crispy cookie top and the taro was large pieces as opposed to being mashed. Read more

This restaurant is located inside the mall and we came in the morning to order dim sum. There is a wide variety of dim sum which were well made. The har gow was slightly spicy because there was too much white pepper. The congee was also very watered down, and ... did not resemble congee. The best dishes were probably the siu mai and the baked bbq pork pastries. Read more

Ordered the crab plus 4 courses for $140. Had to ask for this special set menu. Felt like they didn’t want people to order it cause it was one of cheaper set menu they had. Food was not bad, portions were quite big and service was adequate. An average Chinese ... restaurant in Richmond. Read more

Today I had a wonderful experience with my family at this location. In the entrance they have a machine that tested your temperature and the tables were social distance We ordered the $128 menu and asked for the salted egg for the crab. Our Server Alson was super friendly and waited until ... my sister arrived so the dishes won’t get cold. We had the shark fin soup. They explained that they have license and is only selling the remaining stock. It was $88 and my dad loved it. Then the salted egg crab was amazing! It was deep fried perfectly and we cleaned the plate up. The other side dishes were great and the quality and the price was 10/10. Another Server Henry came by and continued to help change our plates and offer us refill on our water and check up o us. In the end we even got desserts. I read a lot of messages about the tipping and didn’t have the experience. In many Asian restaurants, the min is now 12% and for me I tipped 15%. I did not feel free pressure and the service was great. Normally at any Joeys or Cactus, I personally default is 18%. I personally think if the service is good, we should tip an amount to show appreciation. But more in the pandemic, I do strongly encourage you to tip if you can a little bit more because these restaurants are trying to stay afloat and the tip you gift is the motivation to keep going 🙂 Highly recommend and will return again for another dinner with my family!
