What to Order
Roasted Squab
A signature dish, this roasted pigeon is known for its crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat, a classic Cantonese delicacy.
"Sun Sui Wah has been setting the standard for Chinese restaurants in Vancouver for years. You can’t go wrong with this place."
Maria Wong
Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)
These delicate steamed dumplings are filled with succulent shrimp, encased in a translucent, chewy wrapper.
"Top quality Cantonese dumplings. Mostly menu ordering but a couple of carts, too."
CJ Pryde
BBQ Pork Bun (Char Siu Bao)
A classic dim sum item featuring fluffy steamed buns filled with savory-sweet barbecued pork.
"The standard Dim Sum items are all very good and tasty. Each item had a distinct flavour profile and no issues."
David Maurice
Chicken Feet
Braised and deep-fried, these chicken feet are tender and flavorful, a popular dim sum choice for adventurous eaters.
"But, the service, barbeque duck, chicken feet, and har gow deserve five stars!"
Keen Eye
Steamed Bamboo Basket Lobster Rice
A luxurious dish featuring fresh lobster steamed with rice in a bamboo basket, offering a delicate seafood flavor.
"We ordered the steamed bamboo basket lobster rice and two vegetable dishes. The steam lobster rice portion size was understandably small, just enough for each of us to sample a piece of lobster. Overall, the taste and presentation of all our dishes were excellent."
