I've come here a couple of dozen times for dim sum only and it is always good.

Located upstairs it has multi level shared parking which is very convenient. It's a large space with plenty of room between tables. There's a few LCD TVs around for the usual dim sum people who spend their mornings there it's clean through and through (even the washrooms!) It's usually busy during the dim sum hours and only once did I have to wait for a table. There are plenty of servers around and they are uncharacteristically attentive.

You order off a large menu list. There are all the usual menu items with a few interesting ones nestled in. It's always hot and has been consistently good or better every time. I do agree with the previous reviewer that the special little garnishes they did to some of their dishes are now gone which were noticeable but nothing more than that. Prices have gone up but what hasn't? The items themselves remain mostly the same in size and quality.

What I like mostly about their dim sum is that all the right dishes are made in bite size variety (the Deep Fried Pork Dumplings, Curry-Taro Dumplings, Spring Rolls, etc). Nothing worse than having a mouthful of deep fried dough and a morsel of minced pork. The dishes are generally a smidge smaller than other dim sum places however.

This is probably my regular dim sum place and will likely continue to do so all else being equal.

I was here for my cousin's wedding banquet on the weekend and everyone was raving about the service! I never knew about this restaurant before, and although it doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside is pleasantly clean and nice. The restaurant is pretty small, but bigger is not always better. I think because the restaurant is smaller, they are able to concentrate more on service. They didn't just bring the food to the table, we had a server assist us with each and every dish. They were very eager to please - anytime they were out of something, you could rest assured that they would bring more right away.
The food was good, but I think the portions here are a little smaller than standard. I don't recall having any leftovers to bring home like we usually do.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant! I would like to give their dimsum a try sometime.

This used to be my number one dimsum place in Richmond when it first opened up. The 4 - 7 times a year my wife and I used to come up to Vancouver to visit, we'd have tea at this place at least twice a week. Convenient parking up in the structure on weekdays, widely spaced tables, prompt service, clean linens, and upstairs window views of Richmond's city centre make for a great yumcha place. The price used to be very good as well. But over time, prices per dish went up, and then the quality went down. They used to add small touches like the fish roe on top of the special shumai, or the extra large and generous portion of phoenix claws (chicken feet) with generous strips of fresh green chile on a bed of tarot mixed with tofu skin. But no more roe on top and no more tarot on the bottom of these dishes. I think we got spoiled initially and now expect more. We still like to take friends and family there and for someone who's doesn't dine out and do the yumcha thing on a regular basis, this place will still be really nice. But we know how good it really used to be.

Today we went to Kingford Seafood for dim sum based on reviews we read on DineHere. I am glad we read the reviews and they were accurate.

We are always looking for a better place for dim sum where the waiters don't scowl at you and throw the food at your table. I think we have finally found a place where we are comfortable taking company to for dim sum.

The food was fresh and hot and we didn't miss the noisy food trolleys at all. Variety was good and even the usual offerings were changed up for a bit of interest such as spare ribs with squash. The turnip cakes were soft and tasty; the eggplant fantastic; the beef balls were big and one serving was enough for five of us. The fresh crab and tofu wrapper was excellent. The teapot was kept hot and waiters obliging when we asked for fresh tea. We finished off the meal with eggtarts that were still warm.

Because the quality was so good, we probably ate more than we normally would have for dim sum. It cost us $8 per person but probably we could have gotten away with $6 per person. I have no qualms with spending $8 per person especially when the service AND the food is good.

I am looking forward to trying them out for dinner.

First of all, the positive---great attentive service! Now for the food. There were four of us who shared 15 dishes and found the dim sum to be completely average. There were a couple of highlights, including the steamed chicken dried scallops buns, pan fried chives and meats dumplings, steamed bean curd sheet roll with fresh crab meat, and steamed dried scallops and shrimp dumplings. Our question is this; does anyone make their own dumpling wrappers anymore? Kingford, like so many places uses the thick, gummy pre-packaged dumpling wrappers. We also found all of the fresh seafood oriented dishes to be lacking in flavor--no real seafoodyness; especially anything with shrimp, crab, or scallops. Another problem we had was with the occasional garnish of carrots of peas--obviously pulled out of the mass produced frozen vegetable package. In short, we found the food to be so much like many other dim sum houses; ordinary and unremarkable.
