Chef Tony Seafood Restaurant - Richmond

This restaurant serves amazing Dimsum. The place was jam packed and we went at 2pm and it closes at 3pm. A must for Dimsum lovers. The only downer was service. Service was very slow and took them a long time to check in on the table.

Friend recommended this place on number 3 road in empire centre. Park in parkade towards back. Everything good! Black bun with egg yolk. Rice rolls and dumpling

Great dishes!!!! Get there early.. small place and fills up fast!!love their cold chicken with truffle and spring onions. So much variety and picture tablet menu so easy to choose!!

We were looking for best dimsum restaurant in Richmond Vancouver & found Chef Tony after an intense google search. Many people said in their reviews it has the best dimsum in Richmond so we were all excited & thought that must be it.We then tried 8 dishes, & nothing but disappointment!!! Not single one dish was up to par! For example, like shrimp rice roll, a decent good one normally will have nice big shrimp with snowpea leaves & the rice noodle will be very thin & melting in your mouth. But for Chef Tony's - medium size shrimps & taste mediocre & no vegetables in it. Not worth to mention the rice noodle! Mushrooms dumplings also has no mixed vegetables. Every dish was just boring & tasteless! Also don't get trick by those photos - the dumplings look big in the pictures, but they are not. Say the shrimp dumplings, each one is actually in quite a small size (smaller than usual) & so that's why there are 4 pieces in each tray. The quality of food at this place was just way below average! We were just mind-boggling that why people said this place has the best dimsum in Richmond! Was it a joke??!! It was a completely waste of our time!I'm a HK Chinese from Richmond hill Toronto & I've been eating dimsum my whole life. Let me tell you - if you visit Toronto next time & are looking for best dimsum restaurants, just head up here in Richmond Hill, & you will find every restaurant here has WAY better quality of dimsum than those ones in Vancouver! And there are quite a few here, I would say, has the best dimsum in the whole country too (& I'm not kidding)!

I came for dim sum with my family during covid and felt pretty safe with their protocols. We ordered most of their signature dishes truffle chicken, truffle siu mai, the salted egg yolk buns and some classic dishes like the shrimp rice rolls, ha gao, etc.<br/ <br/ The truffle chicken was very interesting and the truffle flavour is strong so if you like truffle, you should try it! Needless to say, I think they use more truffle oil than actual truffle.<br/ <br/ Prices are higher than your average dim sum place but everything was above average. I recommend coming here to try some innovative fusion dishes instead of ordering the basics/classics that you can get at any other dim sum restaurant.<br/ <br/ More on my blog: [hidden link]
