🍵 Vancouver Dim Sum Gem – The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant Review!

📍 The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant 4260 No.3 Rd, Richmond Finally tried this iconic Cantonese spot after years of hype – and it lives up to the legend! Went at 12:15 PM on Friday and walked right . 🏆 Why It’s Special ✔ Classic, refined flavors – no gimmicks, just well-executed dim sum ✔ Surprisingly smooth service – efficient even when busy ✔ Hidden gem dishes – some real standouts 🥢 Must-Try Dishes 🥚 Egg Tarts – $6.99 ★★★★★ Flaky, buttery crust + custard so jiggly it wobbles – tiny but mighty. 🍲 Cordyceps & Pork Bone Congee – $12.99 ★★★★★ Silky, savory, packed with tender pork 🍄 Truffle Scallop Siu Mai – $10.99 ★★★★☆ Umami bomb (though MIA scallops – blended into filling?). 🌯 Red Rice Noodle Rolls – $11.99 ★★★★☆ Crispy shrimp center, chewy wrapper, perfect with peanut sauce. 🐮 Beef & Egg Rice Noodle Rolls – $10.99 ★★★★★ Silky-smooth sheets, juicy beef – simple but flawless. 🟣 Purple Cabbage Lava Buns – $8.99 ★★☆☆☆ Skip it – soggy bottom, meh filling (stick to Kirin/Yue for lava buns). 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best time: Weekdays 11:30 AM-1 PM (avoid weekend madness) ✔ Order extra: Egg tarts sell out fast ✔ Skip: Lava buns (their only miss) 💰 Damage: ~$25-40 per person #VancouverEats #DimSum #RichmondBC
