Dim sum place on Granville & 67th. Parking is available in an underground lot (not sure if free), as well as the side streets. The place is pretty nice and modern on the inside. Staff are friendly and professional. No problems here. Dim sum quality is quite good. Dishes are few bucks more than the competition, but this is expected. This is the W side after all. One thing that is nice is that the shrimp dumplings and siu mai are 5 per basket. The other dish that stands out is their signature roast duck. Nice and moist, and not too fatty. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point. Recommended.

Came here during a cousin's wedding in Vancouver and got taken here! Good: - Tons of variety and lots of Asian seafood dishes - Amazing fish and noodles - The dimsum all was very fresh - I especially liked the pineapple bbq bun and the egg yolk bun - Bustling ambiance and lots of people around Bad: - More on the expensive side - Very busy so takes some time to flag down a waiter Overall a solid dimsum experience!

Came for a classic Chinese dinner tonight and we were happy with the meal that we had tonight complete with winter melon soup (small) and peking duck (2 courses). We started off with the Peking duck wraps and honestly, were a bit disappointed to see their skin having quite a few feathers still stuck! The pancakes are a little bit on the dry side but their pieces of duck skin still had a lot of meat (which I prefer). The duck lettuce wraps were great with plenty of duck meat, some veggies and crisps. The lettuce was also expertly trimmed making for a pleasant experience. The winter melon soup was a family favourite being light, flavourful and filled with an assortment of ingredients. There were shrimps, chicken, pork, different veggies and of course, huge chunks of winter melon! Spareribs with candied walnuts - the fam LOVED this as there was a plethora of crunchy and sweet walnuts. The spareribs were not too fatty and the sauce was the right amount, not too much. Crabmeat with Greens - a little too saucy for my preference but the pea tips they gave us were fresh, sweet and well cooked. There was an adequate amount of crab meat on top but not enough to make a huge difference. Scallops and egg white fried rice - our final dish of the night was a pale and boring looking fried rice that was a huge surprise for us as it was great in texture, nice and dry and had lots of large scallops. It was not too oily either and very flavourful. Overall, a nice place to have a classy dinner with service that wasnt exactly on top of everything (had to ask for soup to be refilled/plates to be changed) but they were very nice and came when flagged down.

Best meal of our Vancouver trip. We had a party of 16 so experienced a myriad of dishes, but sadly not one photo. The Peking Duck and salted fish fried rice were the excellent standouts. Some dish with semi-crunchy egg noodles was my least favorite, but still good. Such good service. And definitely a value play as it came out to about $25 per person.

King of Crabs In the world of seafood, King Crab is among the most decadent delicacies and among the multiple species of King Crab, red Alaskan King Crab is considered the very best Vancouver, with one of the largest population of Chinese Americans and expats from Hong Kong, has been the top destination for King Crab feasts that have become so famous that even Hong Kong restaurants refer to the signature 3-style preparation as Vancouver-style. However, in more recent times, due to supply chain issues and increased king crab demand from China, the previously abundant Vancouver king crab season has either been characterized by shortages, significant price inflation or both Red Star is my top King Crab restaurant though I will admit this year the price came as a bit of sticker shock compared to years past Paired with the best whole suckling pig that I've had in my life (serves with hoisin sauce and sugar on the side), this feast was a meal to remember Thank you Red Star! I will forever dream of your unmatched Portuguese baked crab fried rice and salt and pepper deep fried crab! Alaskan King Crab Prepared Three-Styles $96.80 per lb / Steamed King Crab Legs with Garlic / Deep Fried Crab Knuckles with Salt and Pepper / Portuguese Baked Crab Fried Rice / Whole Suckling Pig $388 Red Star Seafood (Vancouver, BC) Red Star is dine-in only and accepts all credit cards including AmEx. Paid parking is available in a lot adjacent to the restaurant.

As a dimsum lover, I was delighted when my co-worker suggested having dimsum here for a team get-together. There are quite a number of parking stalls reserved for Red Star in the complex's underground parkade, so one doesn't have to worry about finding parking. We ordered half a duck, plus a variety of dimsum staples, including some of my faves: deep fried spring rolls (filled with prawn), siu mai (pork & prawn stuffing), har gow (fresh prawn inside), xiao long bao (soupy meat dumplings), and egg tarts. I also tried a duck-filled pastry for the first time, which I really liked! It tasted similar to the bbq pork-filled version that I like. The chrysanthemum tea we got was refreshing and aromatic, a good tea to help wash down the oilier dishes. Overall, excellent service and delicious food. I'll definitely be back again!

Wow! Amazing seafood, well prepared just as I remembered from my HK days. Every time I come visit my parents in Vancouver, I make sure to organize at least two feasts at Red Star. What I order is predictably the same with minor additions each time. Start with house shark fin soup, followed by whole Peking duck prepared two ways, steamed live shrimps, the king crab three ways. For a group of 5-6, that's plenty. The house deserts rounds out the meal. Services are great because they have people! Would vote for 5 star if there are more drinks choices and better wine list.

Meeting up with friends we haven't seen for a while is always great. Nothing like going for a banquet style dinner at a chinese food restaurant. We started off with their Peking (Beijing) Duck and loved the crispiness of the skin. It seemed liked it was smallish but the flavour made up for it. Next up is one of my favourite vegetables. Pea sprouts! Simply blanched and then cooked with garlic, it's sooooo good! Then the duck lettuce wrap is always a nice second part of the Peking Duck experience. We also ordered what I call deep fried shrimp slathered in mayo and topped off with honey crusted walnuts. Might sound weird but the combo is delicious. Can't have a meal without sweet & sour pork! And their seafood e-fu noodles in a hot pot was excellent. Loved that they had it in a hot pot which kept it hot even at the end of our meal :)
