Discover Tin Tin Seafood Harbour
Stepping into Tin Tin Seafood Harbour at 3711 Number 3 Rd in Richmond feels like entering a space where tradition meets modern dining. Known among locals for its bustling atmosphere, this spot has become a go-to for dim sum mornings and family gatherings. The first impression is always the same: lively chatter, the comforting clatter of bamboo steamers, and servers pushing carts filled with steaming plates that instantly make you hungry.
The menu is extensive, leaning heavily on Cantonese favorites but also adding a few creative twists. Diners often praise the shrimp dumplings for their thin, translucent skin and juicy filling, while the siu mai is consistently plump and flavorful. Beyond dim sum, the kitchen delivers large-format seafood dishes like lobster in ginger and scallion or fresh Dungeness crab, prepared with care to let the natural sweetness shine. Having tasted both the dim sum selection and the dinner menu, I found the quality consistent across times of day, which is not always the case at busy seafood houses.
Reviews from regulars highlight not only the food but also the efficiency of service. On weekends, the lines can stretch long, but tables turn quickly thanks to attentive staff who know how to keep things moving without making guests feel rushed. Families with young children find the experience accessible, and groups of friends often choose this location for celebrations, given the spacious round tables and banquet-style portions.
One detail that adds credibility to the restaurant’s reputation is how often it appears on curated lists of Richmond dining spots. Food critics in Vancouver frequently mention its value compared to other dim sum restaurants, pointing to both the freshness of ingredients and the portion sizes. While not every dish hits perfection, the overall dining experience makes it easy to understand why many consider it a staple in the local dining scene.
Whether you’re dropping by for a quick lunch or planning a large dinner gathering, the combination of variety, consistent quality, and convenient location keeps this restaurant firmly on the map of Richmond’s seafood and dim sum lovers.
