For Chinese food... are they more into traditional Chinese/Cantonese food, or the new style luxury Chinese food? Mott/QJD falls into the latter camp.
For the first style, traditional Cantonese fine dining, I'd suggest Neptune Palace on Marine and Cambie, or Dynasty on Broadway. |

Personally I prefer the traditional Cantonese Seafood restaurants like roastpuff suggested, so something like Dynasty or SeaHarbour in Richmond is more up my alley. |
I think for Chinese food I’ve narrowed it down to mott and QJ. Mott (to me) has a more appetizing menu where as QJ has the Michelin star factor. I don’t care about the stars and awards but they might.
I’m steering away from traditional Chinese food because the majority of them, including my parents ate traditional Chinese their whole lives. It would be nice introduce them to modern twist on Chinese fine dinning. I don’t think they’ll ever go seek out it out themselves.
