Grand Honour Restaurant: A Culinary Gem in Vancouver

Went there for there for my dad’s birthday and loved it! Danny the manager along with our server was attentive and always came by to check up on us and gave us cleaned plates. We were able to score the Rockfish and it was fresh and the price was really reasonable. The sweet and sour pork, the shrimp and the chicken was a hit! They gifted us with 壽包 because it was our dad’s birthday.! We will definitely go back again and try out their dim sum.

Has Grand Honour always been in the basement? I feel like I was there decades ago but maybe I'm confusing it with another place. In any case, it's a bit dark down there and the menu is a bit limited as they don't offer rice rolls anymore. Tripe with XO sauce had food flavour and the chiu chow dumplings weren't bad. Chicken feet had a lot of pieces and fairly tender. Tried the appetizer platter. It was a bit of an odd mix. There was melons, carrots, cucumbers and salmon along with the shredded chicken. The salmon seemed out of place. Update Aug 2024: It's been about two years since our last visit to this underground restaurant. Ordered the fragrant steamed prawn and chive dumplings ($8.68), spicy spareribs in black bean sauce ($8.68), crispy pan fried bean curd roll with prawns ($9.98), and the chef's specialty appetizer platter ($26.80) which included chef salmon, chicken, jellyfish, carrots, cucumber, honeydew, and cantaloupe. The shredded chicken chow mein ($24.80) had perfectly crispy noodles.

The restaurant is outdated inside compared to other high-end Chinese seafood restaurants. The dimsum was good.

Been coming here for years when they were located on the ground level but now they are located underground which I guess is a good this as it is much larger. Dinner here was nice and portion seemed generous as staff here are friendly. Hopefully one day they can revamp the area as it does look a bit dull.

Came here for my dad's birthday last night. We shared seven different dishes between the six of us and it was more than enough food. Eggplant with tofu and scallops - 5/5 STARS: This was our favourite dish of the night. Tons of flavour and sauce. It came in a sizzling pot and the portion was good. Pea shoots - 5/5 STARS: Fresh, light and good portion. Sticky rice stuffed crispy chicken - 3/5 STARS: The dish was really creative and I liked the crispiness of the chicken skin. Unfortunately, the flavour fell flat. Green beans with conch - 3/5 STARS: Loved the sauce on this dish, unfortunately I'm just not a fan of conch! Sweet and sour pork - 4/5 STARS: Loved the crispiness of the pork! Beef ribs with glass noodles - 2/5 STARS: This was my least favourite dish of the night. The beef wasn't as tender as I would've liked and the dish lacked flavour. Appetizer platter - 3/5 STARS: It came with jellyfish, smoked salmon, pulled chicken and assorted veggie sticks. Overall, I thought the dish was only OK. The smoked salmon was something different than what is normally included in these types of appetizer platters. Service was average, took a lot of waving down to get wanted service.

Food quality is excellent. I had many dishes from Chinese restaurants in Vancouver, this one seems to be of the higher quality! The quantity served commensurate with prices and seem reasonable to me. The quality of the food deserve the higher prices too. It's very clear to my taste buds that the beef served here is of higher quality. The tofu dish probably doesn't deserve the same price as the beef as the tofu dish only has a little bit of shrimp crumbs even though the tofu was well prepared and tasted very good. Overall, if you dine here, $30 per person would be my guess. Free tea and free dessert at the end was a pleasant surprise to me. Parking was a bit of challenge to maneuver but it's free for patrons. Recommended to bring your guests to dine here. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent quality and my go-to for abalone and shark’s fin whenever I’m visiting Vancouver! Service is always attentive and friendly.
