Kirin - Vancouver

Came here usually only during a big family dinner, or someone who's older above 40+ yrs old spend a gathering. other than that i have never really went here, but yes i must say the place serve very good chinese food, the seniors/elders love it. well i guess it's not only the food but the environment of prestige and class as well.<br/ <br/ in terms of food, they are all right on point, the squab is delicious as well, their alakan king crab is fresh, and their dungeness crab is cooked to a near point of perfection, which is very good.<br/ <br/ overall i would say that the food in here is very good, definitely above good in my opinion, and the price paid... have never really paid a single dime here so not really sure on the payment : but i'm guessing per person will spent around 30-40 depending which items you pick as well, but if it's in that price range i would say it's very worth it. would recommend this place for dinner, next time around i'll try their dimsum as well.

Been at this restaurant couple times for lunch. Loved the food and service.

Good Dim Sum. I've always been a fan of Kirin, and the Alberni location is no exception. Although generally the prices are a little on the high side, the Dim Sum is reasonably priced like any other place. Pardon my lack of Chinese language in naming each dish... I should probably learn this at some point. The Prawn+Pork Dumpling with Flying Fish Roe on top was good as always. The Pork dumplings with soup inside were good. The BBQ Pork Pastry was a little dry for my liking, but still ok. The Prawn spring rolls were amazing!!! the taro root inside really makes the flavour pop with the prawn and deep fried goodness of the batter.

Long waits for a dim sum lunch during the week says a lot wide menu, not bad value for what you get when compared to other dim sum places near by. Service is the weak link

Not bad. Been here several times as well as their other locations and find this particular location decent for dim sum dinner. even attended 2 weddings here popular resto for wedding events.
