Review:
The caliber of dim sum in Vancouver is relatively high (due to all the Canton peeps). So competition for dim sum locally is pretty fierce. Kirin is definitely known to be “up there” in the Chinese food area. It’s definitely no Hons! So if you eat here, you won’t expect to see rowdy dim sum ladies pushing their carts and dan tat in your face. Every server is in some tux uniform and are rather snooty, actually. Quality of food however, is superb. Not bad for the money, this is definitely good food. And the siu long bao is awesome! Must have.
