Dynasty Seafood Restaurant - Vancouver, British Columbia

We have tried different dim sum spots three days in a row, and I could confidently say Dynasty is my favorite. The quality even surpasses most of the dim sum spots in Hong Kong, and are close to those served at five star hotels. The food portion here might not be ... as gigantic as other spots, but every dim sum is exquisite and carefully crafted with unique flavor layerings. The price point is steep (Richmond price) but you get what you pay for. The environment is comfy and spacious with a nice harbor view. They also offer 20% off if you leave before 11am. Incredible deal for a Michelin restaurant. The Shrimp & Beet Dumpling (紅菜頭海皇粿) was a dim sum I’ve never seen before. It was so unique and delicious. Also strongly recommend the Baked Char Siu Lemon Pie (檸檬叉燒酥) — I always get char siu pastries but sometimes find them too greasy. The lemon peels and sauces mixed with the char siu fillings gave a refreshing zesty flavor to balance out the oiliness. For dessert, you must get the Black Sesame Sago Pudding (酥皮芝麻焗西米布甸). The black sesame lava exceeded my expectation! Every scoop was sheer satisfaction. Vancouver really takes dim sum to a whole new level. Read more

Fabulous dim sum here today. Special recommendations from today’s order include: - deep fried squid (mouth watering!) - chicken bun (nice and smooth ginger taste) - beef cilantro vermicelli (pleasant surprise! I know it days parsley but it’s actually cilantro) - shrimp dumpling (this is on par with what I have tried from Hong Kong) - ... BBQ pork pie with lemon (nice zesty flavor that complements the BBQ pork with crispy skin) Servers are attentive and friendly. Setting is not too loose, but not extremely cramps and is on the noisy side. Read more

Excellent service, amazing presentation. Beautiful views. The food was delicious, we could not stop ordering and eating. Definitely a must go to place to eat!

Excellent dim sum experience at Dynasty. They have all the classics, but offer a lot of unique items on their menu that make this stand out as a dim sum experience. One of the highlights was the fried shrimp balls with the crab claw. The shrimp balls are very meaty and have ... great flavour. The addition of the crab claw was pretty nice. Some other tasty items included the baked bbq pork pie, the baked egg tarts and steamed bun with egg yolk. Read more

Grabbed a simple lunch since I was in the area. Service was excellent, changed my plates three times to take away chicken feet bones. Portions are small, not much flavor, so taste was below average. Atmosphere was nice. Good enough for a quick bite, more expensive than expected ($55ish after ... tip) but maybe that's the normal price in this neck of the woods. Read more
