The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant

Usually come here for dim sum as their congee is probably best in town for dim sum standard. But talking about dinner it is tasty and presented nicely. Service is top notch with constant changing of plates. Good place to do a birthday dinner.

Had geoduck, crab soup, grouper and other seafood in the private room today. Food was excellent, really fresh and nicely done. Designated server waited our table, she was excellent. Nice and spacious private room, perfect for intimate and private gathering. We had so much fun and left the last when they were actually closing but didn’t push us to leave. I used to come a lot for dim sum brunch, biggest problem was even if you have made reservation, you had to wait for at least 30min to be seated. Their lunchtime is always busy, dim sum is great, nice interior, good service. Overall it’s one of my favourite dim sum restaurants.

Excellent service and super yummy food. Wonderful atmosphere and real authentic Chinese cuisine!! Definitely fine dining!! Take your wife or girlfriend!! Highly recommend!!

A memorable, exquisite, lucious and exorbitant farewell dinner! It is commonly acknowledged by most locals that ‘ Deluxe ‘ is amongst the top few elite and prestigious high-end Chinese dining establishments in all of Vancouver. Tonight, on the cusp of our departure tomorrow, my wife’s best friend of 50 years insisted on treating us to a farewell dinner at this gastronomic institution. With the help and input from chefs and management, a pre-arranged menu was conceived ahead of time. All we had to do upon arrival was to sit and wait for the onslaught of yummy fare to be delivered to our table! And man! What a delightful feast it turned out to be! Our meal started off with a most interesting and unexpected amuse bouche - a huge plate of unassuming, lip smacking, gorgeously pickled sweet and savory Turnip cubes. How can something that simple be so addictive and delectable?! Next came a crispy skin, ‘ double step preparation, hand-held oil poached ‘ free range chicken dish. Prepared in two stages, the well seasoned bird, using a blend of exotic herbs and spices was first par-fried using regular boiling hot oil then finished off with a dose of hot Truffle Oil! An Intriguing combination of East meet West aroma and flavor! To follow up was one of Rosy’s favorite Cantonese dishes - “ Deep fried whole LIVE Thai Goby fish in premium top soya sauce accented with julienne ginger and scallions “. Whilst the ladies concentrated on the light, sweet and delicate flesh, my laser focus aim was on all the crispy crunchy parts....head ( with glorious pieces of huge cheeks ), fins and tails! So f#%&&ing good!! Next came another of the stars of the evening. A new chef’s creation of “ Baked LIVE Dungeness Crab with a creamy, honey mustard topping “! Wow! What a stunning dish! The umami sweet crab meat and tamale of this 3 pound monster paired perfectly with the charming, mildly tangy and sweet sauce. A match made in heaven, land, ocean or whatever?! A winner that will no doubt portrait regularly on their menu. To test out the ‘ wok-hay ‘ skill of the kitchen, our hostess specially ordered two dishes. First, a simple yet out-of-this-world killer dish of “Stirred fry BC Clams in black bean sauce and hot chili “! Last time I tasted a clam dish that darn good was years ago at an outdoor Hong Kong ‘ Dai-Pai-Dong ‘! The bi-valves prepared in a huge wok over a propane burner that sounded like the Concorde taking off! Next came a ‘ Stirred fry flowering chives with house cured salted pork belly ‘ dish. Humble yet flavorful, the dish exudes a wonderful smoky aroma and the meat, appealing chewy texture! Another winner! Last of all, amongst fan-fare came our evening’s signature, creme de la creme dish. A hot pot casserole featuring priced ingredients that included Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber, Deer tendons, giant Shitake mushroom and white leeks braised long and slow in house-made Abalone sauce. Wow! What a heavenly, impressive and tasty dish! Though it was nobody's birthday, for fun, our host ordered some fluffy, light and spongy Chinese Birthday ‘bao‘ with red bean paste filling to go with the complimentary house dessert of ‘ Black sesame filled Mochi dessert soup ‘! Super-contented, happy and full! Apart from thanking our hostess for her kind hospitality, I wanted to yell out.......” I don’t want to go back to Toronto ”!

Really great. Not sure of the reviews on service but we had a great experience. Standout dishes included the squash pastry with red bean, house special wild rice roll (stuffed with crispy tofu skin and fish paste), and congee. Pineapple bun with curry chicken also delicious. Not a bad dish. Clean and well kept restaurant.

Very good service, clean and bright dining area with tall ceilings, large portions per plate. Family-style dining.

The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant offers an exceptional experience with authentic Cantonese and Chinese cuisine. The impeccable service begins as soon as you are seated, with complimentary treats and tea while you look at the menu. The flavours here are simply amazing. We had the best sweet and sour pork and sauteed pork with green beans we've ever tried. The Sichuan Style Tan Tan Noodles were also delicious, and the pan-fried pork bun was a delightful addition to our meal. The shrimp dish was also excellent. The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant has quickly become our go-to spot for exceptional Chinese food in the area.

I have come here for a few dinner occasions and can say the food and consistency is very good. On the higher quality side. The salted egg yolk shrimp and beef with tofu is my favourite dishes. They also do a wasabi mayo sauce for their king crab that is unique.
