Overall
  • The Richmond location of Sun Sui Wah is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the Lower Mainland.
  • Excellent chinese seafood but in Vancouver/Richmond, ther are many other places equally as good or better and perhaps a tad less expensive.
  • just order from the menu, even the Chinese love this place.
  • And the restaurant on Main Street is always so loud, you can't even hear yourself think.
  • I've been going to SSW regularly but my last visit was horrible!
  • One of the most elegant and sophisticated Chinese restaurants in town.
  • A large capacity, elegant restaurant with internationally acclaimed Dim Sum and seafood dishes.
  • I do not recommend this place for an intimate dinner
  • Having been accustomed to growing up eating in traditional Chinese restaurants, the service here was brisk and impersonal as expected.
  • Sun Sui Wah is the BEST chinese restaurant in BC, I think even in Canada.
  • While it may not be the best Chinese restaurant, it provides best value for the buck you spent.
  • This is a great place for Dim Sum too.
  • In the mornings and early afternoons, this is a fabulous dim sum place filled with Chinese people, food and language.
Food
  • Prawns that writhe in a bucket in front of you one minute turn into salt and pepper fried delights in a flash....The succulent crispy fried chicken is well worth working through the haphazardly chopped bones.

  • Food was very bad in general.
