The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant

Had geoduck, crab soup, grouper and other seafood in the private room today. Food was excellent, really fresh and nicely done. Designated server waited our table, she was excellent. Nice and spacious private room, perfect for intimate and private gathering. We had so much fun and left the last when they were actually closing but didn’t push us to leave. I used to come a lot for dim sum brunch, biggest problem was even if you have made reservation, you had to wait for at least 30min to be seated. Their lunchtime is always busy, dim sum is great, nice interior, good service. Overall it’s one of my favourite dim sum restaurants.

** Attention please, Tea and water are NOT free ** Regardless how good the cuisines were, THIS(look at my receipt)should have been informed us in advance. Tea and water are $6?? If I knew it in advance, I would not have waited in line for so long and just go to other restaurant. This is ridiculous. I have never paid for water when dine-in. And anyway foods were just average taste. So if you think this restaurant is very special because of long line up, please re-consider it. Honestly this place is not that great. It is just interior decoration that blindfolds us not being able to see the the quality of cuisines and what are on the receipt.

It is often said that this is the best dim sum place in BC. I finally got a chance to visit it with my friends at the last day of 2021. I have to say the overall dinning experience is wonderful and we enjoyed the outstanding last dim sum feast in 2021🤗 We ordered: 🌟cordycep flowers and pork bone congee🌟 🌟baked Portuguese style tarts🌟 🌟supreme dumplings with scallop and truffles🌟 🌟steamed creamy beetroot custard buns🌟 🌟house special wild rice rolls🌟 🌟rice rolls with beef and egg🌟 🤩I am not a congee dim sum person but so many ppl recommend their congee so I gave it a try. OUTSTANDING! You can the efforts and time they put into this pot of congee, the ingredients were visible and recognized! 😍I also recommend their rice rolls, BOTH of them. The red one has crispy curd and shrimp paste fillings, they were complimented with XO sauce and peanut butter( I love to mix them together and dip the rice roll in) 😋Egg tart was good, but small in size. 😊Truffle siu Mai tasted good but average quality. 😟I don’t like the custard buns though, disappointed buns skin. Luckily, we got a seat immediately( social distancing friendly seating) and didn’t wait in line! 📍The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant 4260 No.3 Rd, Richmond
