Chinese
Richmond Cantonese seafood and dim sum, with Chinatown as the historic layer and Oakridge-Kerrisdale as a West Side satellite.
Metro Vancouver’s deepest Chinese cooking sits in Richmond’s Golden Village more than in downtown Chinatown. Expect made-to-order dim sum, live West Coast seafood, banquet rooms, and a widening map of regional Chinese (Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jiangnan) beyond classic Cantonese. Michelin’s Vancouver list covers some City of Vancouver Cantonese rooms but still skips Richmond; local Chinese Restaurant Awards remain the better scoreboard for Golden Village. Start with format (weekend dim sum vs dinner seafood), then pick a restaurant page below.
