This review adds to the excellent review already on file for Sun Sui Wah.  I have eaten at Sun Sui Wah on at least 5 occasions spanning the last year.  Incredible food, attentive service, and good value being the rule without exception.  Both Dim Sum and dinner are excellent.  Dim Sum items are best characterized as fresh and tasty, utilizing quality ingredients in innovative preparations, and brought to your table by friendly people.  All the standard items are represented, as well as some newer items (shitake shu mai – the usual pork and vegetable dumpling stuffed into a fresh shitake mushroom cap, rather than its usual won-ton wrapper) that must either be recently imported ideas or innovations of their own.  Wait staff are attentive, with used dishes cleared frequently, fresh plates exchanged readily, and teapots kept fresh.  The dinner menu is extensive, with great variety, and everything I’ve ever tried has been well executed.

Hints:  Weekend Dim Sum gets very busy quickly.  The wait is worthwhile, but if you want to beat most of the rush (and find close parking), be there around 9:45 AM but certainly no later than 10.  Weekday Dim Sum is quite slow in the morning with limited offerings until around lunchtime, when the familiar frenetic pace resumes.

Naming a restaurant as one of the very best in a target-rich environment of the greater Vancouver area there must be no down side to the selection. And we found that Sun Sui Wah has met every expectation. The food, the facilities and service were all excellent. We ate a Dim Sum lunch and later returned for dinner - something that we have not done anywhere!

The Dim Sum items were still carted around the old fashion way. Some of the very best Dim Sum places have gone to the "made to order" arrangement. We still prefer the carts and I think that listening and looking at the offerings are really part of the fun of having Dim Sum.

The quality and variety of the Dim Sum items were excellent. My wife, having gone to Hong Kong recently and eating at some of the very best establishments there, said that these were second to none. The service at Sun Sui Wah was excellent. We ate our fill and the lunch for 5 was $76 Canadian.

There certainly were a lot of restaurant choices in Richmond. We decided on Chinese seafood. After driving around and discussing places we returned to Sun Sui Wah. We were not disappoinnted.

We had 7 items beginning with a seafood (scallops & shrimp) lettuce wrap. Just the cold and crispness of the lettuce told us the quality of the dish. The pot of traditional Chinese pork soup, fresh vegetable, braised dried vegetables, salt & peppered calamari, sauteed prawns, and beef with ginger and scallions were all wonderful. Our dinner came to $120 Canadian.

Our dinner was considered as the "small dish" class of available items. "Banquet" and exotic items were readily available.
