Reviews for Kirin Restaurant
Review highlights
Based on 1,293 reviewsKirin Restaurant in Vancouver is recognized for its authentic and flavorful Chinese dim sum offerings, with dishes like pan-fried halibut, deep-fried prawns, and pork congee frequently highlighted. Customers appreciate the attentive and polite service, noting timely food delivery and well-wrapped takeout orders. The ambiance is described as simple and typical for a dim sum establishment, with staff often dressed professionally. While the pricing is on the higher side, the overall quality and service justify the cost for many patrons. Some feedback points to occasional crowding and mixed sentiments about certain menu items, such as the preference for softer noodles. Despite this, Kirin remains a favored spot for those seeking satisfying dim sum experiences in the area.
Surprisingly, on a sunday pass noon, made reservation for two people got seated right away. Not busy at all. Excellent service and the foods came fairly quickly. With similar price in other dim sum place, we will come back again. Enjoyed the pan fried halibut, pork peedan congee
The parking situation for this store like many three area is either done by street parking or a nearby parking lot. The decor is simple and typical for a dim sum restaurant. The staff is nice. The waiters was dressed in suites. The dim sum items were delicious.
The deep fried prawns were excellent. Everything else from the A La Carte Menu was fine, but I wasn't blown away by anything else. The House Chow Mein was downright disappointing - why would I want crispy noodles? Of course, real foodies want their noodles soft. The Dim Sum items were tasty. I would recommend the Prawn and sweet corn spring rolls, the BBQ Pork Buns, the Chinese Donut, and the Dumplings. The bottom line is this was an enjoyable dining experience, but the dishes are tiny and overpriced. The Peking duck was tasty, with crispy skin and meat which was a bit dry frankly. I ordered the whole duck and it was one small dish for $128 with a tip. The service was not great. The servers lack communication skills. It is important for those dining to be able to ask questions and make requests. I found out near the end of the meal there is free parking underneath the restaurant - one simply has to enter one's license plate on the touch screen. Why was I not informed of this free parking earlier? I would definitely return for more dim sum.
Lovely Chinese restaurant if you are craving some dim sum. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff are very polite and do their best to give as much and as fast service as possible. All the food was served perfectly warm and when he asked for takeout, it was perfect perfectly wrapped. The only downside was that the restaurant was packed so the staff sometimes did not have time to bring the thing that you wanted as fast as possible, which is very understandable hopefully more people get hired so they can provide faster service in rush hours.
Everything was quite yummy, I even enjoyed the Xiao long bao. Although it was not the best that I have had, it was decent enough. Everything was pretty good, but that would be the expectation as their price range is on the higher side when it comes to dim sum. Service was great, very attentive for a Chinese restaurant, would come back.
Best dim sum in town! If you want great service with quality food and amazing atmosphere look no further! Def coming back.
I had the pleasure of dining at Kirin Chinese Restaurant, and the experience was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—especially thanks to Eddie Ng, the Senior Assistant Manager. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression and truly elevated our visit. We came for dim sum, and every dish was exquisitely prepared—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality and tradition in each bite. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, making it a perfect setting for both family gatherings and special occasions. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend Kirin, and a big thank you to Eddie Ng for making it so memorable
