British Columbia...

Vancouver and Richmond
Looking for delicious dim sum? My favorite is Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant in Vancouver or Richmond, BC locations. Vancouver: 3888 Main Street. Richmond: 102 - 4940 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC. Serving dim sum 10-3 but I like to go around 11:00 a.m. On weekends, especially Sundays, there will usually be a wait for a table. The Vancouver restaurant is large and upstairs. I never have any difficulty finding street parking and there is frequent Main Street bus service. The Richmond site is street level and easily accessible by car or a short bus ride over the Oak Street bridge from Vancouver to Richmond. Both restaurants offers lots of dim sum choices, including my favorite, loh mai (rice mixture wrapped in leaves). Phone
numbers of the restaurants are: Vancouver 604-872-8822. Richmond 604-273-8208.

Has anyone in Vancouver mentioned the landmark Pink Pearl on East Hastings Street yet? Its always packed with Chinese families. I've been going there for 22 years and continue to go back after checking out newer places on the scene. I take out of town guests there and they always enjoy the experience and the cuisine. Address: 1132 E. Hastings St.Tel: 253-4316

Yes! My vote is for the Pink Pearl. Open for the last 25 years, this huge (seats 600) restaurant has offered its guests a wide assortment of tasty dishes. At lunchtime, the place hums with activity as patrons sample the tempting dishes from the dim sum carts which are pushed from table to table. Definitely recommended for both dim sum connoisseurs and those new to the experience for its wide selection of dim sum and the opportunity to see and select the small treats from the moving carts.

Another vote for Pink Pearl! In Vancouver, BC there are tons of Chinese restaurants. One that stands out among the rest is Pink Pearl Chinese Seafood Restaurant. The address is 1132 East Hastings. The dimsum here, as all other menu items, is simply mouth-watering and awe-inspiring!! Note: the location is not conducive to walking around, as it's not in a safe area of the city, so it would be best to take a taxi to the restaurant.

Another for Pink Pearl. I would like recommend the Pink Pearl Chinese Restaurant in Vancouver, BC as my fave dim sum dining experience. It's authentic Chinese cuisine and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're actually in China. The restauant holds over 1,000 people and runs like a little city. Trolley's of edible delights in steaming wicker baskets roll by every few minutes - a dining adventure.

My suggestion for Dim Sum in Vancouver Canada is Floata Seafood Restaurant. It boasts of being "Canada's largest Chinese restaurant". The dim sum is tasty and authentic, my favourite dishes are: sticky rice wrap, BBQ pork bun and gua lan.
Address: 400-180 Keefer Street. Tel: (604) 602-0368. Website: http://www.floata.com

My vote goes to a Buddhist vegetarian dim sum restaurant, Bo Kong in Vancouver. It's at 3068 Main St., Vancouver, Canada. Wheat gluten is used instead of meat. Lots of your favourite dim sum goodies made without meat; some unusual items that aren't found in regular dim sum restaurants. The best lo bak ko I've ever had.

Manitoba...

Winnipeg
I recommend Kam Ho Chinese Restaurant. This family run business has been very postively reviewed by our local food critic. The menu is limited but varied, items are fresh and prices moderate. Address: 757 St. Mary's Road. Tel: (204)896-8177.

Rivers
Lee's Restaurant in Rivers, Manitoba has the finest Chinese food anywhere. We dine there on a regular basis for special occasions. One salesman told me its the finest Chinese food in Manitoba-- the cook trained in New York --- I believe. Wendy, one of the owners remembers every customers' likes and dislikes whether you dine there once a week or once every six months.

It's not a fancy restaurant; any mode of dress is welcome---they have a private dining area for special occassions. It's open Tuesday to Sunday at 540-2nd Avenue. Tel: 1-204-328-7502. P.S. The town of Rivers has a beautiful mural which people drive to see on the east side of the Super Thrifty Drugstore. Rivers Communities in Bloom have numerous flower gardens around the town---it's located near Lake Wahtopanah.
