sadly the roc on kingsway and clark is closing this week so we need to find a new cheap dim sum place (for the first time in 3-4 years) for saturdays with family

what's your cheap dim sum joint?

[Nvasion]

dai tung?
i like that place also on broadway/nanaimo..(greeen sign place)

[pastarocket]

Dai Tung gets my vote too. For about thirty dollars, my buddy and I had a big dim sum lunch. The shrimp dumplings taste good.

[biu gor]

I also agree that Dai Tung is a good place to go for cheap dim sum. I go there regularly....

[ae101]

south ocean seafood restaurant
150-4751 Garden City Road
Richmond, BC V6X 3M7
(604) 278-1233
$2 a dim sum on weekdays & $2.50 weekends (i think)

good thing about them is they push a cart & u order from the cart so u don't need a menu if u can't read chinese (like me) & they have pretty decent food with lots of variety cuz theres not a lot of places that can make or product the food they can

i wrote that in another thread awhile ago last year, few guys on had good reviews as well & my family loves it there

Wow, didn't know they were closing. Used to get take-out dim sum from there once in awhile since I live half a block away... usually a couple bowls of congee... but since HST came in, the size of the congee bowl got cut in half, so it totally wasn't worth it anymore... so we stopped doing take-out after that.

There's another dim sum place literally right across the street... haven't been there in awhile though, but last I remember, they were cheap as well.

[Anakin]

dai tung is crazy busy by 12 though right? not sure how willing to wait my family are though, which the biggest reason we would always go to the roc

What this guy said! Good stuff!:woot2:

[wuuhoo]

^ real small though. Your so cramped up in your table.

Or tahts how it was when I went last

[Fafine]

although dai tung is cheap its packed as hell.

there's a dim sum restaurant at lansdowne and its 30% off if you pay before 11am. other places only 10-20% off before 11am.

[LiquidTurbo]

Cheap Price
Clean Restaurant
Good Food

Pick 2.

My pick is HKYK. Pretty reasonable prices. Or the place right beside Yaohan.

HKYK open at 8:00am so its not bad of a place if u come early

south ocean open at 9:00am after 10 then your gonna have to wait if its a weekend, while most places in richmond dun have to wait if u go early

Haha my family used to go to this place all the time when I was a kid. :D

The prices are cheap but the dim sum is very mediocre as well. Prince (on 12th and Renfrew) and Happy Valley (Broadway and Rupert) are much much better (and only a tad more expensive). :devil:

no evening patrons, too much competition for dinner crowd and no one would come if they bumped up their dim sum prices

it's apparently turning into a vegetarian restaurant, what a waste

You have to be kidding me.

This place might be cheap (I didn't pay for the bill so I don't really know), but if you don't like being in a shitty environment with people who don't know how to enjoy food or have any sort of manners, I suggest you avoid this steam pile of horse-shit restaurant.

Big Six alert + shitty food + abysmal service + giant portions of shitty food.

Edit:

Also do not go to a place on Kingsway called "East River Seafood Chinese Restaurant". That place eats donkey dick, too.

[murd0c]

I go to Golden Swan on Victoria drive but a couple blocks down the road theres another place that has $2 dishes awhile ago and it was really good. I think Vansterdam lives close and he knows the name.

Fuck how do I even remember that lol

went to golden harvest on main and 32nd yesterday with gf and her friends. not too bad... dunno what's considered cheap but 2.75 for small.. 3.25 med and 3.75 for large?

also +1 for dai tung

[mpr]

Alpha is not happy the waitress doesn't fill their tea with water. for $30 bucks tips in, you can feed 4 people really full, I'll go pour my own water. There is so many people packed there at noon for dim sum, sometimes you just have to serve yourself.

One of my new favorite places in Van and a bonus that it's like 2 mins away. Options are pretty limited in that area in terms of goodness. Favorite place has still gotta be Jade in Richmond though.

if only the thread is high quality, great service, and cheap dim sum.


another one:

Happy Valley Restaurant

20% discount now
5 dim sum dishes $17 + $2.88 big plate of noodles.

Happy valley isn't 20% off. It's only 10% and the special "anniversary" dishes are half off on weekdays only. This place is quite decent but the portions are huge.

Top gun hot pot in crystal mall is good. Get the membership card for $20 and I think you get 20% off dim sum. 10% off their ayce chains.

The place for roughed up cuz the owner owed the suppliers money so they ripped up their signs and pour paint everywhere :T

Btw golden swan is under new management this month (not sure if its already implemented but its sometime in the middle of jan) it'll be the same owned as golden awards before it got sold off and oscar which I think got sold off.

Not likely unless it is super bad ones.

Dim sum is only served for brunch and lunch.

Can't get around this if one is cheap (I would know LOL) but if you're willing to pay a bit more, there are plenty of dim sum places in Vancouver where you can get good service. Kirin for example.

$2 dimsum ftw

haha, my folks also go here a lot. Food is alright but they're another one of those places that make you share tables with strangers.

I haven't been there in a while but didn't they have $1 chicken and rice at one time? I know they have the roasted pork and rice as well (but I'm guessing that was $2)

Last time I was at Dai Tung (which was over a year ago) two employees got into a heated shouting match - one female and one guy. The restaurant was dead silent for a good 2 minutes after that. Dai Tung (is/used to be) famous for their salted chicken dish. Not sure if it still is today or not.

i only go to redstar on granville, only cause its 5 minutes walk from my house. so i dont know what you call cheap.. but its good =)

[unit]

i havent had a bad experience at dai tung yet, but i can understand why people feel that way.
places that push carts are kind of chaotic and since you dont really have servers, all you have is cart pushers to ask for stuff who dont really give a shit.
i was at po king a few weeks ago and thought their service was pretty shit. and the tables are just too close together.

Any cheap place is going to cram people in. They're trying to earn their money through volume so they're going to try crank through as many people as possible and skimp on service. I'd venture to guess that the client base there don't really care that they get shitty service as long as the prices are cheap.
