Ming Yan Seafood Restaurant

4.5/5. Relative to the South Surrey Area, this restaurant is probably at the top of the list for Chinese food. Unassuming entrance leads to a nicely renovated/open modern dining area, with an impressive wine wall rack. Dim sum review: staples ha gau/siu mai dumplings, etc were decent, fried offerings above average, and large plates good. Dried scallop egg white rice dish was noticeable. Fried squid, decent, smallish portion. Price; on the higher end. Robot Bellabot that actually works consistently. Atypical: Christmas tree still set up mixed with Chinese new year.

First time there. Decent food and price they have those robot waiter which was pretty cool. Missing two stars due to that they didn't check our vaccine passport at all when we walk in and their table are quite close to one another

Came here for dim sum on a Saturday morning, and it was not busy. They have the main dim sum staples but the menu is not very extensive. Some dishes were tasty, some fell short of average. Price came up to about $25 per person. Unfortunately for one of the dishes, I found a thick green rubber band that was cooked right inside my bean curd roll. This a health and safety hazard. The staff offered to remake the dish but as I had lost my appetite, they removed the item from my bill instead. My friends enjoyed their experience here but I do not think I will be coming back.

Very nice dim sum restaurant in South Surrey. Staff was attentive and kind. Will be back for sure!Food: 5/5

Everything was super fresh and tasted great. Even the fried items which I normally don't eat were delicious, not greasy at all, and didn't leave me feeling gross. Service was very friendly and it was quiet which was a nice bonus. Highly recommended!

Came here my first time the service was amazing and the food was so yummy,and it was the best birthday lunch or brunch I have had, will be back soon again.if they had 10 star service I would give you this,food was very excellent

We read that it was the best Chinese restaurant in the area so gave it a try. We ordered three dishes:Seafood rice with XO sauce, chicken chow mein and supreme beef with onions, all for 80$!!!! Chow Mein was burned and dry under the chicken which was literally 3 bites. Beef was the smallest portion we ever had in a Chinese Restaurant, especially when it costs 32$, but it was tasty at least. Seafood rice had 4 small shrimps and 3 tiny scallops and although it was spicy we found it tasteless, also charged 20 plus $ ! For sure it didn't worth our money. I gave two stars just for the beef.

The food tastes good. The thee of us ordered large congee and siomai and garlic tofu, Shanghai dumpling and were full. The service was also great and the servers were attentive. They even have a robot to help in the service Authentic Chinese food.

Dim sum here pretty good. Portions are decent size and taste is good too. Tables have built-in induction elements so I'm guessing that the have hotpot in the evenings. Service is pretty good, but it was not busy at time of this review so will need to see again when busy. They have 10% off and no tea charge during weekdays to draw in more weekday lunch customers. Came here first year they opened and glad they are still here and still pretty clean with decently good food still. This is in a smaller lesser-known shopping plaza, so plenty of parking. They do also have Choices and a Starbucks here for things to do later.

The Ming Yan Seafood Restaurant is literally a hidden gem located in Alder Crossing on King George Blvd in south Surrey. It has such a narrow frontage, it is hard to spot, but once make your way in you'll be surprised at the quality of the decor and then the food. This is an above average dim sum restaurant. The best south of the Fraser River that we have found. It's not cheap, but if you want excellent food, great service in an intimate setting, this the place to try.
