Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant (Main Street)
新瑞華海鮮酒家
A classic Vancouver Cantonese restaurant famous for its roasted squab, live king crab, and dim sum brunch, perfect for group gatherings.
A long-standing Cantonese restaurant in Vancouver with branches on Main Street and in Richmond; this entry covers the location at 3888 Main Street. The signature roasted squab is served whole with a beautiful reddish-glazed skin. The restaurant features live seafood tanks and was reportedly one of the first in Vancouver to serve live Alaskan king crab. For dim sum brunch, the shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, BBQ pork buns, and egg tarts are highly recommended; diners have recently noted that cart service is no longer offered, and dishes are ordered via a checklist. Weekend brunch gets very busy, so reservations are recommended, while weekday lunches are quieter. Travel guides classify it as mid-range, with live seafood priced at market rates, making it more economical to share among groups.
