Sun Shui Wah Seafood - Richmond

We have dined here for dinner an evening and I was very impressed really good quality, cheap and tasty. kanada is quite famous for geoducks and so we wanted to try it. we received the opportunity to sashimi or cooked and we chose to sauteed with vegetables only on the safe side. it was delicious and the geoduck was perfected. we also ordered the roasted hocke and deep roasted saving with preserved red bean curd sauce could not both fail dishes. Although it was a week night, it was really busy and I can now understand why. Note: the address for sun sui wah is a little misleading when on number 3 road, it does not seem to exist as anything you can see is aji toro Japanese restaurant that is now closed. the entrance is actually on the alexandra road.

Based on this mornings visit I rate this place 4.5 When we first arrived it was a couple mins before open and there was already a line. Exactly at opening everyone went inside and were quickly seated. The restaurant was clean, quite nice inside and well lit. We ordered quite a few things and I was so full and waiting on the durian dumplings. We asked one of the employees walking by if it was still coming and he was so friendly and said he would check right away and have it sent right away and he apologized for it being late (it wasn't even that late, I was just wondering if it was forgotten). He said we could cancel it if we wanted but I said I still wanted it. I was kinda shocked most Chinese restaurants like this are never friendly and don't really care about customer service. The service we received here today was such a nice change. Even during our meal, there were enough staff and if we wanted something like hot sauce we didn't have to wait forever to flag someone down to get it. There was always servers walking around doing quality checks and seeing if anyone needed anything. The food: was super yummy! I enjoyed everything I ate (I'll post pics) and the durian dumpling was SO GOOD. Like way too delicious. I will definitely come back again.

I have never had a chance to try steamed custard buns and was excited when I got to sample them here. I love eggy desserts so I really liked the slightly sweet and salty rich filling. Fish Paste Rice Roll. Fish paste rice rolls are my favourite version of rice rolls to get and I really enjoyed these

Best dimsum place hands down. Great service and wonderful food... definitely recommend this place if you want some good quality dimsum! All fresh dimsum unlike those cheaper restaurants that re-steam all their dimsum

I was pretty surprised myself that I had not been to Sun Sui Wah’s Richmond location, although I was a frequent visitor to their Vancouver location when I was living in the city years ago. I am certainly aware of their reputation of being one of the best fine dining Chinese restaurants in the lower mainland, but just never thought of going there until this Sunday morning, when I tried to think of a different place from our usual dim sum joints. And the dim sum dishes we received at here were nicely prepared and quite delicious.
