Dinesty Lite

Stopped by for a quick lunch on our way from YVR back to Seattle.
Great food and service, recommended!

The prices were reasonable, the food was good. Dim sum and Xioa Long Bao dishes for cheap. I would recommend based on cheaper prices.

Excellent food, pork dumplings were juicy and tasty. I had a lunch combo but the meat was really salty, other than that most of the dishes were very good. Totally recommended!

Decent portion size, the food was pretty good but nothing special especially the hot pot soup. It didn’t include that much meat nor vegetables. I really liked the sausage fried rice tho!

This is an amazing restaurant. The servers are super friendly, the service is fast, expansive menu and the food is delicious. My favourite were the soup dumplings. I also loved that the menu has pictures of all the food. Also the atmosphere is so, so nice andD peaceful. Some of the seating is booth style as well which is nice! Highly recommend! Cody was my server, super kind and considerate!

Broad selection of Asian and western cuisine. Ordered their Hainese chicken which was flavorful and boneless. Very tasty.

Ordered scallion pancake, beef noodle soup, wonton in the peanut chilli sauce, pork chop fried rice and soup dumplings

Food was decent but I’ve had better ones else where
Service was okay!

Great place for Taiwanese style pork dumplings! Lovely braised beef noodle soup…although the scallion cake was a bit greasy and over cooked…all in all good value and good service!

This Dinesty location has been newly renovated, and has a new menu. Compared to other locations they have more individual combo options. They still have staples like xiaolongbao (steamed soupy dumpling) and deep fried chicken. Since they partner with Blackball, they also serve bubble tea and grass jelly deserts.

Foos was tasty and seating was comfortable! Would definitely come back!

Came here for dinner on a Monday. First time trying and the waitress was very patient with our questions and very accommodating. Food was good overall. Will recommend the steamed soup dumplings and also the pan fried dumplings. So tasty!

I haven't been here in over 5 years, but when I was last here, it was still a full Dinesty. I was okay with the lite menu, so my family ordered quite a but of food to try. Dumplings are still good, noodles were good.but everything else was quite bland. Popcorn chicken had no flavor, even with their spice powder. Squid nuggets also had no flavor. Basically, I would only come here for the good portion size of noodles.but not for anything else.

Their dinner food quality is better than lunch time, but the services lunch time is better.

This is the veggie hotpot with 5 mixed skewers. Combined with the popcorn chicken appetizer, you've got yourself a delicious hearty meal!

SO GOOD. The truffle dumplings are insanely comforting and delicious. The playlist is calming and there is plenty of seating/room. The restaurant itself is very clean and staff is friendly!

Simply perfect! I would have given 6 stars if it were available. I'm surprised it only has a 4.1 average rating.

We had the Veggie hot pot with 5 mixed skewers, Stir fried shredded beef and green onion with soy sauce, and Camphor and tea smoked duck.

Absolutely delicious! Every morsel was delightful. The pickles and soup complemented the main dish and rice beautifully.

To finish it off I had milk tea soft serve with pearls and brown sugar syrup. Yummz.

Large lengthy comfy banquette seats for 6 or smaller arrangement for 4.

Service was great.

Easy free parking right outside in parking lot. 3 hrs max.

Lovely fresh modern decor. Jazz for a relaxed vibe.

Cute little place, great prices. So many different choices, that you can find something for everybody. Definitely worth checking out!

What a vast menu allowing each person to pretty much order anything they are craving including dim sum, pizza, sandwiches, fries, hot pot, steak, noodle soups, ice cream, bubble tea…like everything! The XLB were juicy. The pizza had fresh toppings except the crust was those pre-made bread crusts and not hand tossed, and the Taiwanese chicken nuggets were standard tasting. The portions were generous and the presentation was cute. The seating was in comfy booths.

Have to say this is the best cafe style restaurant in Richmond. The food is superbly prepared and a very generous portion. I ordered the 3 cup chicken set meal which comes with 3 tiny side dishes, a miso soup, and a bowl of rice. The main dish is awesome with big portion of chicken pieces, plus at least 5 different kind of vegetables mixed in. Not able to finish it though. Highly recommended.
