Reviews of Shanghai Lu Restaurant (Restaurant)

Nathan Best

I had the house special chowmein, I was very disappointed. It was mostly stringy noodles with some very rubbery, tasteless meat and seafood. It was supposed to have barbecued pork but I didn’t taste anything barbecued, terrible.

Polly Chan

Best Dim-Sum restaurant in Vancouver

May Gosselin

Followed one of the owners(?)/hostess from previous Chong Lum Hin restaurant on 6th in Burnaby where we enjoyed their food & service. Shanghai Lu is much bigger & closer to a busier business area in Vancouver and unfortunately they no longer have the "x" dishes for $"y" special dmenu which we quite enjoyed for bigger groups. Still -- pretty good food but we don't go as often as it's farther away from home ????. Free parking next door in hotel lot (upper levels marked spaces only).

Foods are amazing. Loved it but service is terrible. I had to call the server several times to get his attention to get drinks and water. I went to this place for very fast time. Never had asian food before. I would love to have food again there but I have to think as well about the service i am gonna receive.

Nothing special, but the food and service were good. My wife and I had dim sum.

Marc Lafrance

Authentic Chinese food.

Alfred Hou

I've eaten lunch here before on July 2018 as a recommendation of a local person. It was quite good. We ate many dishes because there were 4 of us. I'm back again July 2019 but this time I'm ordering for takeout for 2 people. We ordered the Beef and Vegetable (broccoli) Chow Mein. It costs $15 which is a little on the expensive side but it can feed 2 people. You need $20 minimum to use credit card so I ordered Siu Mai which is $6 for 4 pieces (also on the expensive side). It took 10 mins to receive the order since there were not many people eating in the restaurant.

Yum yum dim sum

Dylan Soo

Went for dim sum. Good to average dishes. Price was above average.

Kristy McAvena

Good food... a bit pricy... but we'll worth the price... Highly recommended for dim sum or otherwise!!!!

Henry Ho

Excellent meal adequate service no complaints

ray lu

Good food. Reasonably priced. Slower than average service. 15 minutes to get a plate of Choe mein. Restaurant was mostly empty.

Woottikorn Charoenlarp

Here for a 100 day baby celebration. Delicious 10 course meal. Everything was made fresh. Decent service.

Terri Y

The food was fine.The service was disappointing. The room captain sat me and after several minutes a man I thought was a customer with dirty, baggy denim pants collected my order. My two dim sum items arrived twelve minutes apart. A big group left beside me and the staff and room captain began noisily collecting dishes instead of asking if I wanted anything else or giving me a bill. So I go to the counter and over two minutes later the room captain comes to take my money and berate me by exclaiming, "What?! No tips?!" I do not appreciate being hustled for a gratuity. I thought tips were for proper or at least attentive service. Fair quality dim sum. Bad quality manners.

It’s been a few years since we’ve last been to Shanghai Lu on West Broadway. We were initially interested in heading over to nearby Dynasty Seafood but they were too busy so we came here instead. What I’ve never known before is that they actually have free parking located on the 4th floor of the Holiday Inn garage. Given their name, we decided to start out with their XLB Shanghai Dumplings ($6.50). As a general rule, I usually don’t order this at non-Shanghainese restaurants because they never turn out right. The ones here were sufficiently juicy on the inside but I found that they were much too thick and doughy with the top twirl – which turned me off. Next up was the Steamed BBQ Pork Buns ($6). They were nice and fluffy but on the small size and the bbq pork filling was rather dry. The Steamed Chicken Feet in Brown Sauce ($6.5) was a bit cryptic… what exactly is a “brown sauce”? In any case, it was actually pretty tasty and was served with taro. Like most of the other dishes, the Steamed Beef Rice Rolls ($7) was just okay. The filling seemed a bit on the skimpy side of things but nothing overly wrong with it. The Eggplant with Prawns ($7) was pretty good with tender eggplant and a nicely fried prawn topping. The Prawn and Chive Dumplings ($7) were one of my favourite items on this visit. The dumplings had a delicately crisp outer coating from being pan-fried. The service was a bit slow given that they weren’t very busy when we visited and I found that the prices of the dishes didn’t really live up to the quality. Overall, they seem to have gone down since our prior visits years ago.

Allen Mar

Big portion..the restaurant is just beside our hotel..Holiday Inn Vancouver Centre.. We eat the sweet n sour pork with rice..it taste good..my son like it. We are 3 person..but order 2 plate of rice..still have leftovers

M. Tse

A standard dim sum location, nothing remarkable but the food is tasty. If you're looking for a bite, try this place out. Take a look at the dimsum menu posted.

Adrian Rosario

Extraordinarily overpriced for really mediocre dim sum. After going, I would seriously question the logic of wanting to eat out here.

Alvin Wong

Service isn't the greatest, dim sum selection is ok... A bit too salty... Expensive for what you get

1 STARS GIVEN ONLY BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THEIR POLICY! Party of 8 people came here last year to celebrate Aunt's 84th birthday! We all enjoyed the food at the restaurant and we brought a small cake which the staff was happy to serve. All ended splendid! Aunt 85th birthday, enjoyed the overall experience she had last year at the restaurant that she insist on going back to celebrate with dim sum and cake. We (7 of us) get to the restaurant and asked the female manager to place the cake in the fridge like we did last year. The female manager looks at us without a smile and states we cannot eat the cake here! "What?" I said, she says they can only serve the cake during dinner session but not lunch session. This place is not a busy restaurant and I thought maybe they don't want to occupy the serving staff time with serving cake. I asked, what if we do it ourself, I don't need a cutting knife as the cake came with one, I would just need 7 small clean plates and 7 forks. Nope, she refused to do that! We ate our lunch (DIM SUM) which I would rate 3.5 STARS and at the end before asking the bill asked if we could pay extra to eat the birthday cake here, still answered NO! Only reason why I tried to offered money is because we have an 85 years old lady who actually enjoyed the whole experience she had last year and was hoping to have another enjoyable repeat. For a policy to not be able to serve a birthday cake at lunch but only for dinner , I rated this restaurant a 1. Serving staff = 4/5 Food = 3.5/5 Parking = 4.5/5 FREE / if there is space. Female Manager = 0/5 (only because of the situation described above)

Colin Wong

The food is tasty! Good service

Harry Ly

Service is warm and helpful Food is so good that once got food that either i ordered by mistake or they rung it in wrong tried it loved it and just kept eating been going there at least once a week having something different eveytime never been disappointed yet

Chuan Chee

Not worth the money. We went today for a large group (11 people). Food was alright, came out quick and was warm. However, the service was awful at best. We asked a server who was dropping off food to cut a dish, first in English, then in Chinese. She didn't answer or acknowledge us. She began walking away and we asked again can you please cut it two more times before she turned around and snidely said "it's already cut". Maybe acknowledge your customers' questions. We had to ask for condiments multiple times before receiving them. The only good part was one of our water glasses spilled and the male manager? was prompt and helped us clean it up. That was nice. When it came to pay we had asked if we can just split the bill evenly between everyone and even agreed to pay the extra 1 dollar transaction fee per person for those of us using card. The woman doing the transactions tried to add two transaction fees onto someone paying 2 portions of the bill on 1 card. When we pointed it out to her, she mutter that we're being annoying and had no right to complain. There was also 15% auto gratuity, the service was so awful 5% would have been generous. Avoid this place.

Greg Hamilton

Good food

Yasmin E. D.

Restaurant itself is very clean, bright and spacious. There is no doubt about their steamed fresh fish IS THE BEST IN TOWN. My only concern is : they should stop using MSG , monosodium glutamate !

Si L

Wanted to eat here. The person at the front was scrolling through her phone and did not notice me standing there until two customers came to pay. Then her friend came in the door, pushed right past me and immediately got a table. So I left.

Not great, most of the dishes were over cooked

Cassandra Chan

Good food, polite staff, speedy service, following all health protocols!

Patrick Chin

Best Chinese dim sum in Vancouver area. Brought my calgarian friends over and they loved it so much you can see it in their tearing eyes. Thumbs up.

Anthony Mak

Low quality dim sum, will not be going back.

Ashleigh Bravo

Dim sum gem. Helps to speak Chinese.

Alexander Hanna (Endo)

We ordered two dishes, one a vegetable and tofu dish, the other a small steamed fish. Our bill came out to over $70. We asked the restaurant if there had been a mistake, they told us no, the fish alone was almost $45. Not sure when prices for plain cod went up to $40 per pound, but if you're a fan of overpaying for mediocre food and service from unapologetic staff, then this restaurant is perfect for you. If not, there are about a dozen other good Chinese restaurants along Broadway that value their customers.

B C

So disappointed! Service was almost non-existent. Tea was cold, dim sum dishes were so hot they made one think they had been pre-made & then just heated in microwave. Front entrance was messy. There were containers & pop cans, etc. all stacked up as you walked in. We have no desire to return to this restaurant.

Sham Ratty

I ordered the beef with steamed rice. It was all fat. They should rename the dish Fat with Steamed Rice. This is low-budget ghetto food. Don't waste your time with this place.

Annie Wang

Loved the food and location. Staff was great.

Michelle Chong

Service was good, food was tasty, not so sure about the Peking duck mostly due to how it was sliced up.

JN Filippi

Centrally located with free parking at Holiday Inn (4th level). Good Dim Sum for lunch. Price is right.

RV fam's

Ordered online the combo for 2 and beef and brocoli chow mein without extra msg or salt. The combo was hot, fresh and tasty. Delivery took 20 minutes between 5 and 6 on a week day. The best chinese food according to my 7 year old. Even hubby that does not eat much take out said it was beautiful quality and tasty. Will come again!

John Ip

Dinner

Virat Rajpoot

The dishes are very greasy. The chef has put a lot of MSG.

Dave Dagg

Really poor quality Dim Sum and over priced....just make the drive to Richmond

bspalteh Spal

very tasty food at reasonable price. strongly recommend.

Edmund Wong

I ordered via uber eats today. I ordered a congee and a steamed creamy custard buns. My congee was fine but my custard buns had no custard. All 3 pieces of them (one order comes with 3 buns). I basically paid $9 for really stale plain buns. What a waste.

Nikki Ng

The woman behind the counter will br very rude to you if you order only one item. She claimed to be an owner there. I would say she is very unproffessional.

Gilbert N

We accept the food

alberto sanchez

Place is just so so, dishes are standard, nothing special. Prices are ok.

Jeffry Janz

Been there since they start their business. Winnie is always very attentive to your requests. So do talk to her.

Clem Cheng

Had a a great lunch from a set menu. Must try it out if you are into seafood or Chinese food that is not heavy or greasy.

Loic Jeanjean

Very good Chinese food in a very reasonable price

Edward Chen

Tasty food, reasonable prices with lobster/Peking duck combo sets, friendly staff and free parking on the rooftop of the Holiday Inn next door. What more do you need?

Tarinee Lubpairee

Delicious.

Raein Jamshidi

Pricey and the food quality is declined

Chris L

The food was great, but the service (or lack of) provided by the waitress was terrible. Not once she cared to check on us. Whenever we waved at her she pretended she hadn't seen it. And when we asked questions she was dismissive and condescending. As if that hadn't been enough, when I didn't tip her she questioned if I didn't enjoy the food. When I explained that the service has been terrible, she simply commented with another server behind my back "something in Chinese... $10 dollars" and they both laughed. Ten dollars was the tip amount. Very rude. Definitely not coming back.

Alex Ruys

Fair price and food choices. Service is ok.

Andrew Rosen

Great Chinese food, big dishes.

Melvin Edgar

Good dimsum and convenient location

H H

very good king crab special!

TheAnarchistKampfen

I came in here with a friend who originally wanted takeout and then we decided to sit in and eat. This place has changed hands many a time in the last decade and is now called this yet serves dim sum. I have had my fair share, and this is more middle of the road stuff, as I feel Dynasty, and Kirin which are both very close in the area serve better quality and are about the same price once you are done... to this place, yet here we are and if you do not try, you do not know.

M ciprut

I like their dim sum. Menu has pictures. They take your orders and serve the food steaming hot. You also get a discount if you out of there before 12 noon.

K E

One of my favourite place for Dim Sum and Chinese Dinner!!! Their staff are extremely friendly, foods are tasty and their quality is well maintained. I just wish they can sell Egg Tarts at night????

Fiona McInnes

Regular Chinese restaurant

tranjess

We had king crab and Peking duck set meal and it was nicely done at a reasonable price.

S L

These guys are probably losing quite a lot of business to the fancier restaurant down the same block. The place was only half full on a Saturday night so we got pretty good service. Dishes are decently portioned and the waitress took the time to explain the dishes we had questions about. They might even do night time dim sum upon request, though you do have to ask for the dim sum menu yourself. The food tasted pretty good so we'll likely return if we're in the area again ????

Ben Lee

It's solid. Not amazing, but pretty good.

Robert Leeson

Good for cheap quik dim sum

Dean Wautier

Price is good, food is good, service is good. Free parking in Holiday Inn parkade on 4th/top floor only. Dim sum is better than dinner. Id come again for dim sum. Edit: this place has now become our fave dim sum spot. We know the menu pretty well now and have our fave dishes that they do REALLY well. Dinner is awesome. Dim sum is awesome. Especially the select dishes we found. It's still not a super popular restaurant which actually is great for us because then we always get a seat :). Great location and spacious restaurant. Service is good. The managers are very friendly.

Philippe Guillemette

Food is always good but service was slow as expected for Chinese New Year dinner

S Chow

Quality dim sum at reasonable prices. Good alternative compared to waiting a long time at other places

Avery Gillick

Good, quick, and affordable.

George Vassilas

The food was excellent, i highly recommend this plcae, great service, good food.

Gina Kang

ordered steamed spareribs from here and it tasted like it went bad. The texture was dry and seemed like it was microwaved. Threw all the food away from this restaurant.

JoPlaysBad

Good food, fast servers. Been there three times and always liked it.

Allen Chan

One of my favorite places for dim sum in the city. The excellent food and friendly owners have my family and I coming back her regularly. After more then 2 years of repeat visits, I have always left here happy with the service and satisfied with my meal. Excellent option for dinner as well.

Emkay Vee

This is an awesome gym with such a good vibe! The staff are amazing and there’s tons of equipment and space. The free personal training session you get when signing up is also insanely helpful. I am so happy I joined this gym and I really recommend you join too!

Simon Kwok

Seam quite at supper when I go.. The hot and sour soup is really good and Rice noodles with beef is really great..

Penny Rusty Sophie

We enjoyed the Cantonese style food which is typical for Vancouver. We ordered our dishes with shrimp and we really liked the quality. They were fresh, plump and with lots of flavour. $$

Jo L

Is well located and have free parking. Prices are average but well located in the middle of Broadway. Close to VGH and other medical center offices. Nice 20% off before certain time which I was not expecting and no tea fee. Parking is in the holiday Inn hotel adjacent to restaurant.

Bill Chow

price reasonable

Albert Lai

Great food.

Faiz J

My favourite affordable dim sum restaurant! The portions are good, the owners are nice. Free parking on the rooftop of the parkade. Try the spicy green beans

Akintayo Ogunji

Excellent food, friendly service for a take out order.

William Lau

Good services and the foods are delicious. Also has a lot of free packing @t the dinner time.

WHERES PERRY

Nice seafood! Nice service!

Thomas Tam

Great quality dishes at a fair price!

Wally Silva

Although food is overpriced or service wasn’t good or when I asked for the food to be spicy and it wasn’t at all…. That’s not the reason for the one star. Gave me food poisoning and I ended up in the hospital :(

Yeung Willis

Not that great

Bonkowskiart

Dim sum is bland and are small portions. Had to wait long for each dish to arrive. When I asked if we could add an extra dish, the waiter said he'd be back to take the order, but he never did. There is free parking at the Holiday Inn.

ch Remer

We love going here. Staff is friendly and the menu has all our favorite dim sum options. Never had any issues here and we go here 5+ times a year. Food tastes great and the tables are well spaced for this pandemic.

A M

Food was not fresh, gross. They pretty much screw up every dishes they could. Why are they not out of business yet.

Simon Love

Service was good. For is good, not great.

Kyle Wong

Cheap and cheerful, slighty above average food done decently and quickly. No other premise than that, will and have come again

Le rapport qualité-prix est avantageux pour des dim sum donc certains sont délicieux.

Arlene Vee

Very, very good day today. Food was great, service excellent and friendly staff. Recommended!

Marie Lee

We enjoy the food and although they barely speak english they are the nicest people, always welcoming and friendly. The prices are very exaggerated. For a small platter of veggies (broccoli and celery) we were charged $17 which probably had a value of $2,50 if at all.

M Halim

Prices are good , food is delicious especially dim sum and many different varieties to choose from. 5/5 stars, people are very nice !

Isaac Hui (DKMythos)

Good food terrible service!!!!

Yuan C.

Each food order was served separately, so the first order was cold, when the next serving came. There were no other customers.

James Ray Big John

Love it the restaurant is Greater ????

Parkings at Holiday inn Hotel.

Jason Chan

Corinne Väätäinen

Great food, friendly staff. All day dim sum rocks!

José Riga

Good Chinese Restaurant

Vashon Pacana

Awesome food ????

Cyrus W

Came here for the king crab set menu for 6 people. Food was tasty, and portions were big. Service was great as well. The prices are much better than other Chinese seafood restaurants, and yet the quality was above average. Would definitely come back, and would recommend this restaurant to others. Bonus was the free restaurant parking, which is almost unheard of on Broadway.

Alice Young

Heard alot about this restaurant and finally get to try it! Good clean food! Will return to try their peking duck and dim sum!

Ognjen Stajic

Really good Chinese food

David Klein

(Translated) Affordable restaurant, good taste, and lobster set meal value for money! (Original) 平價餐館,口味尚佳,龙蝦套餐性價比值!

Amazing food with a warm and welcoming staff

Rong Wu

A bit noisy but the food was great

L Chen

Love this place and my picky dad likes it too, there's free parking at the Holiday in next door, on p4, if it's during the day register your parking number at the restaurant if it's at night it's a free for all.

Maria Stefani

Authentic Cantonese dim sum. Great food. Fair prices . Spacious atmosphere which is of benefit in the often crowded dim sum restaurants. Custard bun needs some improvements though. Not enough filling

D Wilson

Great dim sum, no frills, family run restaurant.

Ramtin Jamshidi

If you're into Chinese food this is a pretty decent place. Both the food and service are quite decent. Your orders are served rather quickly as well. The only downside may be the price. It's quite easy for two to eat up to around $70.

G&S T&H

Tasty food and very enjoyable dinning experience. We were a family of five visting Vacouver and especially thankful to Winnie for recommending delicious dishes to us. We enjoyed our meals three times there in three days. Lovely Vancouver trip.

Alan Dever

All kinds of dim sum are very yummy and fresh. I love this place very much and their service are excellent. One of thr best restaurants in town.

Carrie Busch

Parking in the hotel a bit annoying but good service and food is decent.

Greg Reynolds

Good Dim Sum. Reservation not required.

Linda Cameron

Good tasting dim sum. No food carts. Order off the list. Not crowded

Steph C

Taste mediocre, one of the management were clipping their nails, server kept on cleaning of our table immediately despite there being not busy. Made is feel rushed. Would not go back.

Amanda Wong

Food was delicious though bit pricey. The service was decent. I believe they automatically charge a service fee. Spent about $80 on food for 2 people. Depends on how much you eat and what you get. Everything tasted good. Parking is at the hotel next door upstairs on the rooftop.

Tristan Currie

Pretty good $108 lobster set dinner

Nelson Chey

Honestly this was great dim sum that they had offered here. I really enjoyed the Shanghai dumplings and the sesame balls. The food was overall very good but I would avoid the taro pan fried cake as that was absolutely disgusting. However it was overall a fantastic experience with the rest of the food

Alanna Ho

Amazed that this restaurant turned out to be a Cantonese dim sum restaurant. Not high end, but food is good and service is decent.

Kevin Haresco

Good value dishes and all tested pretty good. We went for lunch, and wasn't really Shanghainese, it was pretty much just dim sum. Not sure if dinner is different.

m

Amazing chinese food some of the very best I've ever had very speedy service and polite went for a date and she loved it too and can't stop talking about it

Ian Dyck

Delicious King Crab 3 way & Peking Duck 3 Way with Crispy chicken

Renae Lindley

Great service and food.

SAKI

No services, even we booked 10 tables for birthday party. tasteless food, only 2 single restroom for whole restaurant, dinnerware was extremely dirty.

stephen Blyth

Went there for dinner and was impressed by most of their food. Although some dishes were on the salty side. Beijing duck, king crab courses especially the fried rice with crab meat were amazing. It was quiet for a Saturday night but perfect for us. Staff were friendly, a bit too friendly to ask us give them a good review, made it awkward.

Claudia So

I have been to better dim sum, this one was a bit greasy...

J V

Good Dim Sum, good service and good price. All good!

Surprise Move

Came here to celebrate Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. This restaurant gets booked up during holidays so book ahead of time. We ordered the 3 course bbq duck片皮鴨三食 $68: Peking duck, lettuce wraps and duck soup. All are delicious!! Ordered one more sizzling pot on the side: scallop, eggplant and tofu三子煲$20, two bowls of rice $4. Most Chinese restaurant will offer free dessert, so this time its the classic red bean soup 紅豆沙. Usually come here for dimsum but dinner is pretty good! If you order $30 or more for pickup, there's 10% off too!!

Bryan

Way to expensive for the quality and portion. It tastes like T&T counter food except this charges for almost $8 after tax.

Chung Him Fok

Not so good

William Allaye-Chan

Good food reasonable price. Decoration is social. Overall is good.

J J

Odd layout. Food mediocre. Free parking.

Lucas L

Good food and service

Joey northstar

An average dim sum restaurant. Parking is provided at the 5th floor of the Holiday Inn, just next to the restaurant.

Jo-Anne von Schleinitz

Only recently did I discover that this joint does dim sum. While I wouldn't call the dimsum spectacular, the size of the portions and the price make this one of the best options in this area. I have eaten here multiple times now..... i think you can get an extra 20% off if you leave before 12 noon too.

Sean Anders

Exactly what I was looking for. Standard Chinese fare in a setting that speaks to me. Its decor is 70s Vancouver that is simply charming in my opinion. I grew up in settings like this. The food is tasty as well and the staff are respectful. My new go to Chinese place that I’ve been looking for, for a long long time now.

metal beast

Dim sum Yum!

Sam P

Decent food and dim sum all day!

Evelyn Alves

reasonable price

Mei Zhen Li

One of our fav dim sum places, consistently good food and always speedy and efficient service.

Jian Tian Hu

Food is yummy

Nicky Wong

Great dim sum. Very tasty food and reasonably priced. I've only been once with a reservation, so I am not sure what you'd expect in terms of waiting times during regular hours without a reservation - all the tables were full while we were there.

Gino Chu

Some tasty dishes. Dim sum. Some small portion for the price

Debbie Leung

(Translated) Last night, my family came to eat the emperor's meal, and I was very satisfied with it. It is worth recommending. There are good things to share, they have other sets, four people, six people. all good. (Original) 昨天晚上我一家人来吃皇帝蚧餐，吃得很满意，值得推荐。有好东西要分享，他们还有其它套，四人，六人。都很好。

Alex Wong

Good Chinese restaurant beside the Holiday Inn on Broadway. Fast service and the food is well prepared.

Orit Katzov

Just got their pork with preserved egg congee..$9 bucks for a small bowl of what they called a large one. Maybe that is the reason why they couldn't answer my question when I asked about how many people for their large congee.

Tom Cheng

MY GOD DAMN OYSTER SUACE NEVER CAME. I WAITED 40 MINUTES! the restaurant wasn't even that busy!? Dont come here.

Craig Dewar

Very good restaurant, friendly staff.

Jonathan Lee

Rude service, bad food, high prices. Not to visit.

alice Tsang

Great food at a great price

Samina Pang

Free parking, fast service, good food and clean. We had Chinese New Year dinner and found the food to not be over salty and size of the dishes to be good for the price

t l

Got take out for my dad since it was the closest chinese resturant for congee. It is definitely overpriced here, for $14 I wouldve expected a bigger size. Felt ripped off but I guess thats the price you pay for convenience

Robert Plante

The shanghai lu restaurant the food is ok but is the flavour Only is lost of black papers is is not too good all the dishes of food is pepper this restaurant need to be update a level Because they need more work is restaurant is to track doctor , rn, Business , Hotel . The best chinesse restaurant in the low mainland in Vancouver dine in is dai tong most Popular Chinese restaurant in Vancouver I will not go back to the restaurant again and the cooking oil is not fresh And the they need to hire a professional chef In the kitchen too

Martha Tiwana

Great food great value! Cantonese style dimsum and seafood!

kim xie

Pretty authentic (cooked basic). It would be a better restaurant if they had more "gwai lo" friendly items, which consist of a flavour profile rather than just that of plain or overtly simplicit and usually steamed or seemingly boiled. Perhaps dinner is better.

Ellaine Chen

This Chinese restaurant is good taste and good price in town.The menu is variety(dim sum, classic Chinese dish and seafood)

Angela

Pretty good dimsum! Just a little bit pricey.

Michelle Petrusevich

great food and warm service

胡 文浩

Food is meh.....

Victor Ng

We have been eating at Shanghai Lu for 8 years having returned from living In Singapore for 5 years. Shanghai Lu’s owner, Winny, is very accommodating and pleasant. The menu has a good selection of dim sum at reasonable prices. We go there all the time. We’ve been to many places in Vancouver, some very nice, with somewhat better food (questionable) but we continue to return here. They do not prepare xia long bao very well. Always broken. But we just don’t bother with that any more even though it is our all time favourite dim sum dish! Too bad for us!

Evans Li

Located at the RHS outside of front door of Holiday Inn in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Free parking at the 4th floor of Holiday's parking. Tips: mark down the parking space number and registered at the restaurant's front desk.

Floyde Stevens

Dimsum was expensive and lacked choice. Non Chinese are not very welcome in our experience.
