Flamingo Chinese Restaurant

Like many restaurants during Covid, Flamingo Chinese Restaurant closed down due to the strict restrictions regarding social distancing. As this has always been one of our fav Chinese restaurants in the neighbourhood, we had been patiently awaiting their reopening and were finally rewarded this week (they reopened on Oct 13th). What you'll find here now is a more limited menu (although they now serve dim sum all day) but they've taken the time off to do a bit of a refresh of their interior and added physical barriers between the tables to ensure the safety of the diners. While we were a bit disappointed that some of our fav dishes aren't on the regular menu, they did say that we could still pre-order them in advance. Definitely going to take them up on that suggestion in the future. Update: We've been back many times and love that we can still get items that aren't on the menu anymore. We usually order in advance for the taro duck (best in the city), oyster hot pot, and the minced meat on egg tofu.

I ordered ribs, serving is too small and overcooked. Dimsum is dry and blonde.

Dim sum was good but they forgot like 5 of our orders and was super slow last weekend not sure why?

We've been going to Flamingo for decades now, its our family's go-to restaurant for dim sum and dinner. Menu is diverse. Friendly owner and staff, food is delicious and restaurant is bright - love the vintage posters!

One of THE BEST dim sum places in this city. Been a customer for over 25 years.

My family and I have been coming here for years. The food is great, and everyone is so friendly.

So glad that The Flamingo survives COVID!! I remember going for Dim Sum and dinners when they were on Cambie. I moved away and came back to Vancouver for an event. Had to go to the Flamingo for Dim Sum...so glad I did. They have maintained the family traditions and the food is amazing. You won't go wrong going here.

Awesome dim sum. Super tasty and traditional. Chive and shrimp dumplings were so good. Beef omassum was like tripe and surprisingly VERY tasty. Great bbq pork buns too! Veg shanghai buns were the one that was only ok. Desert: green tea sesame buns, and mango pudding were both great.
