Best Chinese

Short of travelling to China, this is where you’ll find the best Chinese cuisine on the continent. Foodies and critics the world over have raved about Richmond’s wontons, dumplings, Hainanese chicken rice, claypot rice, and so much more. After much delicious sampling, we’ve put together a guide to our favourite Chinese cuisine in the city.

Best Dim Sum

Dim Sum can be explained as Chinese tapas for brunch. These small bites with a whole lot of character are traditionally eaten between 9am to 2pm with many restaurants stopping service in the afternoon. The bigger the group, the more you can order, so grab some friends and dig in with our guide to Richmond’s Best Dim Sum.
