Red Star Seafood Restaurant

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.
