| Chinese Catering in Vancouver: Any ideas?
Hi,
I am throwing a party at my house for about 50 people and am looking for a caterer who specializes in Chinese food.
Anyone know anybody? Or any particular restaurants which also offer catering?
Thanks in advance!

If you live in or near Richmond, you can go get food from the Richmond Public Market. For a small platter of food, it's about $15 and that can feed to maybe 10-15 people. So if you get the biggest platter(I think its $25) and get $100 worth then... 
Not the freshest food but cheap and quick solution as usually, catering require days of notice...

I think we need a sticky for this subject.
Go talk to Kent's Kitchen and Mui Garden.

I know On Lok has always catered for large groups/parties. They aren't gourmet/fancy Chinese but they get the job done. Food is alright at best for what you pay. Map
2010 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V5L 1T8
(604) 253-3856 On Lok's Menu on Urban Spoon - *Note* - I don't know how updated this menu is!

Thanks guys --
I'm specifically looking for someone to come to my home to cook and serve food (some items would benefit from being cooked/re-heated at my home so need someone who could run the kitchen).
Any more suggestions? Kirin does it, but I don't think their non-dimsum food is all that worthwhile.

Can you share with us on # of guests, type of food you are expecting and what kind of kitchen you have?
That might help some of these industry guys to help you out.

There should be around 45-50 guests (probably 5 tables of 10), sit-down and likely served restaurant style (i.e., plates of food on each table).
I'd like to serve something like peking duck pancakes(or something similar), dumplings, spring rolls, a few chicken dishes, rice, noodles, etc. (I am Jewish so no pork or shellfish -- seafood restaurants that specialize in that stuff are wasted on me).
The kitchen is large for a home with 2 large ovens, 2 large fridges, a large 6 burner range, etc., etc., with good amount of counter space.
I am leaning towards using a regular caterer and buying most of the food from a restaurant (and then they can reheat and/or prepare some of it) because I just havent found any success calling Chinese restaurants. It seems that most people prefer just to have their celebrations at the restaurant than in their homes.
Thanks again guys; I really appreciate it.
BCRDUKES: I would invite you but its an engagement party so not exactly the time for new friends!! I would goto pho sometime as I know you're a pho expert and I am always looking for new spots.

Bumping old thread but still but still relevant.
Would anyone know of catering companies that can do a Chinese banquet for 100 - 150 people?
