Restaurant Awards 2024: The Best Upscale Chinese Restaurants in Vancouver

The Best Upscale Chinese Restaurants in (and around) Vancouver 2024

Gold: Dynasty

Dynasty, our gold winner, has been a fixture of the Best Chinese categories for decades, and this year they’re back on top. Dishes are expertly executed with quality ingredients and finesse—one judge called Dynasty “the top choice for impressing guests.” Both dim sum and dinner dishes are executed flawlessly here: during the day, tuck into squid-ink pork and shrimp dumplings, fermented spareribs and deep-fried squid tentacles; come dinner, multi-course feasts centering on Peking duck and king crab wow.

Silver: Mott 32

Silver medallist Mott 32 is no slouch, though: standout dishes include the hot and sour soup dumplings, mapo tofu lobster and absolutely superb stir-fried broccoli with ginkgo and red dates. Beyond the food, Mott 32 has energy, ambition and, in the words of one judge, a “fun sense of swagger.”

Bronze: iDen and Quan Ju De Beijing Duck House

Bronze winner iDen and Quan Ju De Beijing Duck House specializes in duck, but the modern, upscale restaurant serves up impeccable Shanghai smoked fish and smoked bison, too. (Hot tip: the happy hour menu is a steal.)
