Red Star Seafood Restaurant - Richmond

I find dim sum in Vancouver is way better than in Hong Kong, which is quite the opposite you would expect.  I have heard people say, dim sum in Vancouver in only better because low quality food ingredient in almost non-existent in Canada with all the regulations.  Those people say food in Hong Kong should taste better as the chefs in Hong Kong has better skill.  I find that not true at all.  I truly and sincerely feel that not only the quality of the ingredient is higher, but also the chefs skill in Vancouver is better.  At least for most of the dim sum places in Vancouver and Richmond.  Not very sure about Burnaby or anything east to that.  I have heard some bad comments about dim sum over to the east side.

Nice Quiet<br/ An early Sunday lunch  a table for 2<br/ <br/ For having a Dim Sum lunch, this restaurant is one of the least 'noisy ' one located at Richmond.  They have very high ceiling.  I like the environment.<br/ <br/ We ordered a few dim sum dishes Steamed Beef Meat Balls w. Bean Curd Skin; Steamed Pork Dumplings; Steamed Matsutake Mixed Mushroom Dumplings; Steamed Sticky Rice Wraps; Steamed Rice Rolls w. Prawns Chives; and Bean Curd Wrap w. Minced Shrimp.<br/ <br/ Everything was nice hot.  Service was ok.<br/ <br/ A good choice if you like traditional dim sums.

Note: this review is for dim sum only<br good service there was a major issue with our order and the manager fixed it accordingly<br decent food kinda of average Chinese food, nothing special or memorable<br lots of parking<br average price, similar to other dim sum places<br family friendly<br would I go back? Probably not

It was Father’s Day, I told my dad to pick the place and I would take him and my mother out for lunch. Not surprisingly he choose dim sum. My parents know what they like and typically keep within those bounds. I was however delighted that they look this blog into account and choose a Chinese restaurant I have yet to visit. My father has been here once before and remembered it fondly, enough to want to return again.

Extreme terrible service from Alvin. My husband and I went dinner last month. We are loyal customers have been visiting over 5 years. We were sitting on table 14 next to entrance of kitchen. Alvin walked by and bump into my back twice. My hubby told Alvin to be careful, but he was so rude and meant. He speaks Chinese to coworker to tease us, thinking we don 't speak Chinese. The foods were excellent and manager were nice except Alvin. I have been for dim sum for few times and seeing Alvin wasn 't nice to other customers as well. Alvin ' s terrible service stops me coming back.
