"Yesterday I met some of my friends for Dim Sum at “Sun Bo Kong”, a Chinese vegetarian restaurant in Vancouver near Kingsway and Knight Street. It was surprisingly very crowded. Despite we booked the table in advance we had to wait for about 15 minutes. We ordered Siu Mei, Crispy Bean Curd Skin Stuffed with Burdock, Steamed BBQ Bun, Deep Fried Taro Dumplings, Steamed Rice Flour Roll with Bean Curd Skin & Veggie Paste, Spicy Green Beans, Deep Fried Tofu with Golden Spice, Stir Fried Turnip Cake with XO Sauce and, as a dessert, Tapioca Pudding. When the bill came I realized that we had also to pay for the tea.First item that arrived after waiting for quite some time was the Spicy Green Beans. But they were not really spicy. The beans themselves were rather bland; just tiny dices of another ingredient gave the dish a bit spiciness, but only when eaten together. This indicates that this dish was mixed and cooked very quickly together.The next dish that was served was the Deep Fried Tofu with Golden Spice. I don’t know what for a “golden spice” it supposed to have been; this dish tasted as bland as common fried tofu with tasteless crumbs (even bread crumbs would have given more taste). When we requested some chilli sauce we received an extremely diluted chili oil that was rather mild than hot.Although they were one of the best items of that meal, the Stir Fried Turnip Cakes with XO Sauce were also disappointing,. The XO sauce was also not visible, and I was not able to taste that sauce. Luckily, the turnip cake itself had some taste by nature.The worst item was clearly the Deep Fried Taro Dumplings. While a friend described the taste as bland, another one called the taste grouse. I agree to that latter opinion. Usually, taro dishes have a distinct taste that I like. But that dish tasted rather like slightly rotten.Next in our meal was the Steamed BBQ Bun. Nothing in the taste of that item resembled to a BBQ bun. The closest in the taste was the taste of a red bean bun. Usually, inside the bun one could expect some texture of a BBQ item. But this bun contained only a kind of sweet paste.The Siu Mei looked a bit like Pâté; and it tasted also similar to that. It didn’t have any similarity of a real Siu Mei. Even the pseudo-shrimp dice on top was tasteless.After that it took quite a while until we got the next dish, which was the Steamed Rice Flour Roll with Bean Curd Skin & Veggie Paste. Also that tasted rather bland. Only the provided sauces gave the pieces a kind of reasonable taste; although initially we were not able to determine what sauces we got. When tasted the pure sauces we came to the conclusion that one of them was a very diluted sweet-sour or plum sauce (with a terribly pink color) and the other was most likely a kind of very diluted black-bean sauce.To our surprise the Tapioca Pudding was served next, showing clearly that they forgot to serve one of our main dishes. The Tapioca pudding was also not great: It was extremely sticky and was obviously seasoned with a large amount of vanilla flavour (I didn’t have any indication that they used real vanilla beans – the taste was different and I couldn’t find any vanilla seeds). It was not so much a joy to eat that sticky product. Good tapioca puddings are usually soft/creamy but not like a dense cake.When we made a server aware that an ordered item was missing, we received it relatively fast. But already the appearance of Crispy Bean Curd Skin Stuffed with Burdock let grow some worries: at some parts of the surface of the fried items was shiny from the apparent presence of pure cooking oil. The item itself, including its filling, was similar to a vegetarian spring roll. But it was extremely oily: While trying to cut some of the rolls into two pieces the oil started running out from everywhere – from the skin and from inside. In contrast to vegetarian spring rolls that I have eaten before the taste these items was also very neutral. Even a large amount of the (diluted) chili oil didn’t improve the taste.As a conclusion, I must agree to one of my friends who said that she doesn’t see any reason to visit that restaurant again. My both (Chinese) friends said that they were not so disappointed since they didn’t expect much from vegetarian Dim Sum. But my other friend and I strongly believed that a meal must taste well regardless whether it’s vegetarian or not. And we both had already eaten some great Chinese vegetarian meals.This restaurant is not recommended at all.1.5 out of 5"

"3 stars for dinner, 5 stars for dim sum. Average 4 stars.Dinner service was very short staffed with the waiters yelling to be heard.Asked for red vinegar 5 times and guess what? It never came. I can't eat Chinese food without it, soooo....yeah. Sad dinner. Also slow service at dinner meant we were there for 4 hours. O.m.g.And the 2nd course of the Peking duck was forgotten until we reminded them an hour later.But seafood was fresh,Peking duck crispy and light, veggies crisp, and sauces on point.Garlic wings and roasted green peppers were a favorite."

"I came here recently as part of a large weeknight group dinner. It's a small ish place, but surprisingly even on a Wed night it was full. I'm sure it gets even busier on the weekends. Anyone who knows me knows I love my family style Cantonese dinners! They're my go to for special occasions and I always appreciate a good meal with fresh seafood, meat, and veggies. It was my first time at Haiyi. Overall I thought the dishes were good but not amazing, and my favorites were the fresh seafood. Here's what we had mark my favorites): Fried tofu Squab Russian king crab cooked 3 ways steamed, stirfried, and the shell was served with fried rice topped with seafood curry Ling cod cooked 2 ways casserole with tofu and pork, stirfried fillet with peas Curry shrimp Chicken stuffed with glutinous rice Stir fried beans Stir fried beef and eggplant Sweet and sour pork Dessert complimentary): black sesame pudding, small almond cookies, osmanthus jelly We ordered way too much food, and our table had plenty of leftovers to take home. The whole meal wasn't cheap, especially with all the seafood. We ended up paying $110 pp after tax and tip. There's apparently underground parking which I wasn't aware of until other people told me. I parked 2 blocks away on 30th with free residential parking, but there's metered parking available closer to the restaurant as well."

"So I haven’t been here in ages so I thought I’d come here instead of my usual. I got here relatively early so we got a seat quickly. I was pleasantly surprised by the old school dim sum carts and was able to order many...of my favourite dishes immediately. We went on a dumpling bonanza ordering shrimp, pork, scallop, spinach and yam. They were all good but it was just lacking a bit of juiciness. We has their steam beef balls which was quite tasty. Also had their spareribs in black bean sauce which was surprisingly good. I had ordered their beef rice rolls (my absolute fave) and it came out at the very end. IT was good but I’ve had better. All in all, a good dim sum experience with a nice dose of nostalgia. It will do in a fix but there are others that do it better."

"This is one of our go-to restaurants for family gatherings 8-10 people or more. We have been coming here for several years and know the current and previous owners well. Having been here so often, we tend to order many of the same dishes...every time we have a large gathering, since it's not every time that we can order such a large variety of dishes. It's difficult to order too many dishes when it's just my wife and myself coming here. Our favourite dishes include the House special shredded chicken for appetizer, fish soup, lettuce wrap with diced pork or duck filling, Peking Duck, squab, sweet and sour pork, deep fried stuffed bean curd, stir fried pea tips, and tapioca pudding for dessert. We have found the food to be consistently good. It does get very crowded on the weekends, especially for dinner. So, reservation is a must whether for a small or large group. Service does tend to be a bit slower when it gets crowded, but not annoyingly slower. It's generally a happy time when we gather, so we have lots to chat about while waiting for the food. For special occasions such as New Year's dinner, they have extra staff. Even though it does get full, I found that I am able to carry out a conversation across the table without having to yell. One of the few Chinese restaurants where I can do that."

"Ordered takeout, 2 main dishes and 2 side dishes and some wings. Spent $85 and was extremely disappointed. Will definitely not be coming back here. This place is garbage. We both felt horrible after, and completely dissatisfied. You can get a lot of quality food at these prices."

"We had dinner at Connie's cookhouse decided on from a quick web search and proximity to where we were staying in Kitsilano (4th Avenue, 2100 block). Totally unpretentious but also totally Chinese. For our first visit we both had the dinner for one combo allowing us to sample a range of dishes. The servings were large, the veggies were as they should be hot and crisp, cooked just enough to take the hard chew edge off. A clean and basic restaurant, well worth the visit."
