Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant Vancouver BC Canada squab

Roast squab ($12.80) is one of their signature dishes, so we had to order it even at lunch. It is definitely a top-quality squab with crispy skin and a juicy tender inside. Slightly greasy.

OK:

Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant Vancouver BC Canada Lotus wrapped sticky glutinous rice

Pans:
None

Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant had very good service during our lunch. They had a ton of servers running round. It was is easy to order and they kept our tea pot full. The food quality wasn’t the best we encountered on our trip, but clearly good enough for most people. Kirin Mandarin is a better bet for dim sum in downtown Vancouver. Venture out to Richmond, and hit even better dim sum at Sea Harbor.
