Yue Restaurant

Very good tasting dim sum, and excellent service. The deep fried taro scallop curry pork dumpling was crunchy and full of flavor, the shrimp and chive dumpling was equally flavorful. The deep fried pork dumpling was a crunchy soft chewy outer layer filled with tasty pork, and the prawn rice rolls had a generous amount of large prawns.

I have been to many Dim Sum restaurants in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver and by far this is the most impressive. The food quickly won me over! The dumplings can tell are steamed to perfection and not overcooked- if you are an fan like me, the char sui pastry is so light, flaky and delicious, it’s a winner, and the sticky rice wrap- OMG it is so full of flavour! The desserts are excellent because they look not from a factory but hole made. Wow! 5 stars! I ate it s fast I didn’t even take pics!

Couldn’t get a reservation at Kirin, even for the next day, (admittedly it’s for a Saturday) checked around for good ratings/reviews at other dim sum places and chanced upon YUE. Had a hard time getting parking (thus the minus 1 star) and was not really impressed by its nondescript frontage, thinking I must have made a mistake making the reservation! Walked in and it was pandemonium - so many people waiting and the receptionist jumping around excitedly - good sign!! A bit of a wait for our table, even with our reservation , which is pretty well par for the course at good Dimsum places all over the world. Pretty good tea and the food did not disappoint! Crispy fresh sliced Kai Lan wok fried over garlic was exceptionally good and the shrimp rice roll looks to be freshly made for each order - and of course the texture is perfect. Big sized chicken paws attest to the fact that they do use good quality ingredients. The Portuguese egg tart is as expected, sweeter than the regular Chinese style egg tart. All in all quite satisfied with this new to me dimsum place.

Great food but highly unenjoyable environment. Dined in for dinner and ordered the lobster/crab meal. Every dish we ordered was delicious and nicely presented. Not sure if the food is worth the trip back, sadly. As there was no host at the front entrance at all times, vaccine passports weren't being checked. It was a busy night at the restaurant and so noisy that I could not even hear the person across the table from me, and there were only three of us. We were sitting was under a vent, and the smell of cigarette smoke blew in all evening. When we were able to get service, it was good. The group that was seated next to my table waited so long for a server that they got annoyed and left.
