New Mandarin Seafood - Vancouver

We'd been to New Mandarin Restaurant for dinner a long time ago and had enjoyed the food very much, so we decided to go there for lunch and try out their dim sum.I really wanted to like their dim sum as I'd seen such positive reviews for it. Sad to say that we were a bit disappointed with our dim sum experience. There were a couple of good items such as the Bean Curd Roll with Prawns, and the Crispy Shrimp Dumplings; however, everything else on the table was either just OK or disappointing. Wasabi Scallops Shrimp Dumpling was probably the biggest disappointment. It looks good in photos because of its bright green colour, but we couldn't really taste any wasabi in it.We would still come back for dinner sometime but we're not likely to come back for dim sum again.Service: GoodParking: Free underground parking at the restaurantLocation: 4650 Gladstone St., Vancouver

We came early as the lines were long. The food came out quick and the servers were attentive our needs. Food was creatively presented and was a delight to eat. The free parking was also nice. We had a table of eight, this is the best way to have dim sum as you can try out many items.

The roast pig is a must try call in to reserve in advance. Food was great! Definitely worth trying if you're looking for Chinese Cuisine. They even make cute little desserts.

The dimsum was tasty for the most part, and had a lovely presentation. My favourite dishes were the tendon, deep fried shrimp and salmon roll, truffle shumai, and the wasabi har gow. We had also ordered the quail egg shumai, which was okay, but drier than the truffle shumai. My least favourite dish was the duck and noodle soup, the duck was dry and the soup was really bland could've used more salt or MSG or really any sort of flavour. Overall a decent dimsum experience and a place I'd willingly go back to for more.

Not really..too busy, poor service, vip room air circulation poor, I will not suggest to friends, over price, owner doesn't know how to train server to communicate with customer in a professional way (staffs argue with customer in front of others customers very unprofessional in a high end service business.
