Mott 32 Vancouver

It's good. Frankly, really good. Room is exquisite. I don't find people that go into places like this all with this self proclaimed critical Asian palate are really all that credible. In all my visits only had one dish that was mildly regrettable, but not necessarily bad. Just a dish I wouldn't order again. Otherwise everything else was really nice.

Went as a group of 8 on a Friday evening. The restaurant was already full by the time we arrived (6pm) so we were lucky to have booked a table. The food was delicious, especially the Peking duck and BBQ pork. However, I would expect more in terms of portion and flavor, given that the price was way above average. The servers were nice and helpful in general. We went as a group of 8 so a 21% gratuity was automatically added to the bill as per the rules of the restaurant. Our server did not tell us that extra sauce for the BBQ pork would cost $10, so we were surprised to see that on the bill. Overall it was a positive experience, but given the price and the food I'll say once is enough.

Lovely ambience and a good overall experience. The smoked black cod and the frog legs were the standout dishes overall and definitely would recommend ordering them if you go. The Peking duck was okay overall; I expected something a bit more special for the price point and experience, but it was still good. Would consider going back in the future to try a different variety of dishes as the standouts above were wonderful.

A restaurant with great history. It is not a traditional Chinese restaurant so don't expect the same as those regular Chinese restaurants. However, if you are aiming for a formal dining in enjoying fine Chinese dishes (but relatively high price), this is the right place to go. At least I was totally impressed by the food as a Chinese myself. Peking duck was awesome. They have very nice service and good environment. A little dark though.

A group of 6 of us had dinner here recently and we received very good service from the wait staff to the sous chef who carved up our Peking Duck dish. This restaurant is right beside the Paradox Hotel entrance, formerly the Trump Hotel for this who do not know the West Georgia address of the place. I will say this is one of the most expensive dim sum dishes restaurants in Vancouver. We were going to try some dishes but let's put it this way I know Maine Lobster is expensive, but $32 for a so gle piece of Maine lobster Siu Mai? We also had the smoked black cod, crispy rice with dried prawns in soup, beef and flat noodles, Stir fried broccoli with tofu, and a free range chicken dish. I would say the dinner was good with the Signature Smoked black cod being the best dish even ahead of the Peking duck. Was plenty of room at the table to sit and they had an okay selection of cocktails and wines. Nice to try for a holiday dinner.

Did not think Chinese food could be elevated to this level. All the dishes we ordered were presented beautifully. Food was tasty but the wow factor and experience was more on their presentation and the visuals. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was great. Food was on the pricey side but definitely worth going for the experience.

The place is beautiful. The pumpkin soup was only ok. But the soy sauce ice cream and the black cod were great. But it is too expensive overall. So be prepared

A Christmas treat. As an Asian who’s had consumed many “Peking Ducks” I couldn’t tell that it was roasted with apple wood. You have to order 48hrs in advance. The Wok Fried Duck fried rice was a nice add on, the rice was partly crunchy. I can def smell the truffle on the Siu Mai as they opened the steamer. The rest were all standard to me. Abundant wines and Asian themed cocktails to choose from. Tried the Hanami cocktail, I did enjoy it. The highlight- Hot & Sour soup thou I don’t see it in the menu anymore. Its like a fusion version with a supreme broth you find at Chinese weddings. Overall, if $$$ isn’t an issue, give this elevated Chinese food place a try.

me coming back a year later just to get the ice cream to go... o_o came back to vancouver and knew what i needed to get. also the hostess was very sweet and accommodating since there were no tables available at the time

Back to Mott 32 in Vancouver after about 11 months! Still putting up the 5 Star rating from this Yelper. Took the family and had the Peking Duck, AMAZING! If you go, get a reservation in advance and reserve the Duck. I also highly recommend the Abalone and the Frog Leg appetizers. Our server was Michelle and she did an outstanding job making sure we had everything we needed and never went without. Our Sommelier this time was Robert and he selected a wonderful Syrah from Australia. It paired perfect with the duck. Everything from start to finish was excellent! We will be back! Cheers!

Mott 32 was voted the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver, and it lived up to expectations. The ambience and the service of the restaurant was truly spectacular and in very welcoming. The restaurant was incredibly busy that night, but the weight staff took their time and recommended some great food options. The general T'so is the best I've ever had and the crab fried rice was unique and very flavorful. The hot and sour soup, however, was a little underwhelming and for the price, I was expecting a bigger portion. Mott is expensive, but it's worth it.

@jfoodreviews here If you want upscale Chinese food, then please do come to mott 32. Although this is a chain in the major cities (Manila, Shanghai, New York, Vegas) so glad I got to try this here in VANCOUVER. If you are going to try the duck, you must order it advance (24hour notice) they have a few if you come in adhoc, however it does take 1 hour to cook if you order . Prices as of sept 2024 $165 duck $35 duck fried rice (add on if you only buy the duck) $35 roasted pork belly $24 hot and sour soup dumpling (4pc) $24 truffle egg siu mai (3pc) The service is absolutely top notch, the constant filling of water, changing of plates, and checking in on you is just the perfect amount. In terms of food taste and cleanliness. It's CLEAN Chinese food, where you don't get a sense of greasiness or oily cloying feeling which is rare especially for Chinese food. If I were to do it again, I would get all the dishes again! This isn't my first time going here. Another dish I love is also the Shanghai scallion noodles those are also delicious if you aren't into rice.

A friend of mine had wanted to come here for a long time and we finally checked it out last weekend. We made reservation and was seated promptly on Saturday around 12:30. The place was half full, it was not as busy as I thought it would be. We ordered the phoenix tea, Peking duck, Siu Mai, BBQ pork bun and a Thai mango dessert roll. The decor was interesting and the service was definitely top notch. However, I wasn't impressed with the duck, I'd say it's solid but far from what I'd expect it would be for Michelin star restaurant. The best part of the thin wrap. The best part of the meal was the BBQ bun and the Siu Mai. It was the BEST bbq bun I had in my life. The Siu Mei was very interesting with the runny quail egg inside. You definitely need to slow down, take small bites to enjoy the experience. The meal was good, but not out of this world and definitely not worth the bill.

Mott 32 is a high end Chinese restaurant that's definitely on the pricey side, but after our first meal, it definitely proved its worth. Although my friends recommended the place for dim sum, we had other plans so we ended up there for dinner. They did have a handful of dim sum items, and we started off with xiao long bao's filled with hot and sour soup which were amazing. The cucumbers with pomelo is was another great starter which took two ingredients normally not served together. $78 for char siu is a bit pricey but it was also the best char siu I have had outside of Asia. The lobster mapo was flavorful with just a little heat and with a generous amount of lobster meat. The only dish that was a little underwhelming was their take on general tso - maybe it wasn't greasy enough haha. Desserts are not to be missed and our almond and chocolate xiao long bao were XLB in shape only, with the dessert being solid. Mott 32 also has a great drink list and we tried cocktails, wine and sake. The hanami (Canadian Club Rye / Bombay Gin / Umeshu / Yuzu / Shiso / Ginger Beer / Chrysanthemum) sounds like it has a lot going on but the end result is very well balanced. The wine list is extensive and the wines by the glass option has perhaps the widest range in pricing I have seen with some very nice albeit pricey options. Service was well-coordinated and pleasant and the overall experience was definitely a treat. Will definitely return to try their dim sum, as well as their dinner again!

I had very high expectations for this restaurant but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The service was ok. Not great. The food was mediocre. The best part of the meal were the dumplings.

The overall best Asian food in Vancouver. Fantastic and friendly service. The ambiance is full of energy with the open kitchen .

Outstanding food, excellent service, and lovely ambiance. One of my colleagues had found this place and also had the foresight to order the Peking duck (they need advance notice for the duck). I loved the soup dumplings and the jellyfish. The shrimp dumplings and the pork belly was excellent as well. The duck was the star of the show and while it wasn't as good as some of the versions I've had in Hong Kong and China, it was one of the best I've had in North America. My cocktail was wonderful as well.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! So, it's been a great week here in Vancouver, and Yelp! has been super helpful, as always - we simply could not leave without trying one of the most well-known Chinese cuisine establishments worldwide. So, we booked a table tonight and strolled there from the Convention Center - took about 10-15 minutes. We were welcomed and seated in a nice 2-person table with a view of the kitchen, central dining area, and bar. Our waitstaff were polite and prompt. Grey was our main server, and he really helped us choose our items carefully - their menu is amazing, and it is EASY to over-order. He helped us trim things down to some very special dishes: -Whole crispy abalone (umami for daaaaaaays... amazing! - Hot and sour Ibérico pork soup dumplings - King prawns with black pepper, soy, green onion, and garlic - Black garlic and shrimp fried rice Everything came out perfectly seasoned and at a nice, leisurely pace. The cocktails were tasty, and the ambience was comfortable - I definitely appreciated them keeping the music levels low, so we could enjoy our conversation together. Overall, a wonderful evening, and I would definitely recommend! Will return the next time we are in town!

I am giving this restaurant a 4 star because of the extremely attentive service. This includes the ambiance of the restaurant, however the restaurant is quite dark, my personal preference would be the restaurant should have abit more light to see what you are eating. As for the food, we were not impressed, there are better Chinese restaurant with great food. We had the Peking duck, instead of slicing it in front of you, they brought it to another table to sliced. I did not like the pancake that comes with it, was very sticky despite being separated by paper. It was challenging to fold up your Peking Duck slices. For a whole duck, there weren't too many slices, they separated parts of the slices & gives you a small plate of just dark skin that is accompanied by sugar. The 2nd course of the Peking Duck was fried rice, its "wok hei" was good however we barely found any duck meat in the fried rice... frankly we felt that we got short changed on the Pekíng Duck. We had the smoked black cod, nice presentation however the cod was too sweet for my liking, it was coated in a syrupy sauce, a pity as you could not savour the smokiness of the cod. The veggies we ordered was ok. The food was not stellar & definitely below my expectation for the price of the food. Go for the ambiance & service if you like that with no expectation of the food.

Impeccable service from start to finish. The waitstaff were attentive and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional, fresh, high quality ingredients. The duck was perfectly roasted, with crisp skins, and full of flavours. We love the (seasonal) mapo tofu and the duck fried rice. The smoked cod was a feast for the senses! The wine pairing recommended was perfect with our meals.

Hands THE MOST EXPENSIVE Chinese restaurant I've been to, but the decoration, service, and food explained why. When I first entered the door, I immediately noticed how upscale the restaurant was. The hostess seated us right away. Our waiter was attentive and checked up on us often. The food.... I will let the pictures explain. All I will say is just look at how the duck glistens!

Very fancy Michelin starred, great ambience, service and food. It is famous for duck and majority of the folks ordered that and relished it thoroughly. I ordered Chicken fried shallots, black bean sauce . It was really good. Definitely one of the best Chinese foods I have ever had !!

What an experience. Great food! We really enjoyed dinner and the decor. Black cod was incredible! Will definitely make this a stop every time I am in Vancouver.

I had the pleasure of visiting Mott 32 for lunch and am reluctant to say that you get what you pay for. To be fair, I always thought that "hey this is Vancouver, why would we ever have dim sum here when you have Richmond", right? Wrong. Mott 32 is well renowned around the globe but this one just did such an outstanding job. Although it wasn't very busy, the service was nevertheless impeccable and their attention to detail was spot on. This is not the place to try to get the most bang out of your buck. Instead, treat yourself to one of the best dim sum experiences I've had in Vancouver. My favorites were definitely the Rice rolls. Definitely come through to have an elevated dining experience.

So we came for the duck. This was no ordinary duck. This was a duck you ordered ahead of time but by the time we arrived, it was expertl roasted. And then carved up table side with such precision. It was a lot for two people. You're better off with 3-4. But still we had plenty of duck. We also ordered soup dumplings. These were some of my favorite soup dumplings because they were filled with a hit and sour soup. So different. Plus they were presented on wood trays that avoided them getting burst when you lifted them up. And do not miss the soy sauce ice cream!! It's like salted caramel but just better. It shouldn't work but it does. Service was impeccable and the inside is unique. Overall, a special experience.

There is so much hype around Mott 32 in Vegas that when I saw they had a location in Vancouver, I wanted to try this spot out! We made a reservation and I was surprised to see that this restaurant location is not packed compared to Vegas. The server was super nice to us and gave us great recommendations. The food here is nothing special and it wasn't amazing compared to other Asian restaurants. It's definitely upscale and had very good presentation, but the food was just ok. I would not come back since the food was super pricey for what it was and it wasn't delicious.

We came for the whole duck and we were not disappointed. The presentation, carving tableside, and the flavor/quality are worth the rather high price. You get an elevated experience along with the duck itself. The one knock I have against it is the skin, which is not crispy. The bbq pork is also to-die-for - each bite was succulent and savory/sweet. We enjoyed the fried frog legs as well. Service was superb. We'll definitely be back.

Mott32 Vancouver is always my favorite dim sum place in Vancouver. It is definitely one of the most expensive restaurants, but every bite will worth it. We ordered cha siu bao, siu mai with quail egg, miso cod dumpling, sweet and sour xiao lun bao, and chocolate oolong tea xiao lun bao. The bao is very crispy, and cha siu is very soft and juicy inside the bao. Siu mai is very special because there is a soft boil quail egg inside the siu mai. There are no other restaurants that have sweet and sour dumpling and miso black cod dumpling. They are all special. Finally end up with oolong tea chocolate dumpling dessert, which is a special to end the whole meal. We had dine in for dinner before last year when we traveled to Vancouver. Both are positive experience and considerable to try. Price is on the expensive side, with dim sum average price of above $20 per one kind. Keep in mind, tea price is per pot as well. I would say expected $70-$80 per person for lunch and $150 and above per person for dinner.

We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary tonight. It was pricey and we knew from looking at the menu before booking the reservation but decided to splurge for the occasion. It is very opulent inside but the seatings are also very comfortable. The decor is reminiscent of what I saw in pictures, movies and TV of Shanghai society before the war. We had a whole Peking duck between the 2 of us and it was carved right next to us. 8 pieces of thinly sliced crispy skin were served as an amuse-bouche. The majority of the rest of the bird was carved and sliced with warm flour crepes. The crepes were perfect with a slight chew to them. We had a fried rice add-on made with whatever meat left carved down to the bones. I would dare say it was the best fried rice I've ever had. The mix of puffed rice in the mix gives a perfect crunch to every bite. We also had asparagus with crab meat in an egg white sauce as a vegetable dish to round out our dinner. In retrospect, it wasn't really necessary because the portions of our dishes were rather generous. However, it was deciduous. The asparagus was fresh and crunchy and the crab meat dressing was sweet with seafood freshness. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. We were glad too the restaurant was busy with all tables seated on a Monday night.

I've come here twice at this point and each time have left super happy with Mott 32. Their most famous item is the peking duck (must be reserved ahead of time). They bring someone out to carve the duck for you, and it includes a plate of crispy duck skin (should be dipped in sugar), two plates of duck meat, pancake crepes to roll the duck meat, cucumber, green onion, and hoisin/sesame sauce. Please get the duck fried rice as a second course if you order the peking duck -- they add some sort of crunchy topping as well as asparagus that makes it pretty unique. I've also tried a couple other items like the pork belly roll and the crispy triple-cooked black angus short rib. I was expecting the pork belly roll to be like a beef pancake roll but this is literally pork belly rolled with cucumber, spring onion, and garlic). Still delicious though, and whatever sauce they put it in is sweet yet savory at the same time. We were recommended the short rib by the server but did not think it was very good. It almost tasted over cooked (dry) and simply did not compare to the duck course. Overall, such a lovely ambiance and great for a date night or with family. Please order the duck in advance!

Stopped by for a weekday lunch with a friend; we had reservations but the place was pretty empty around noon when we arrived. The interior seems pretty big (not sure if it's just the layout that makes it seem very spacious) and generally very elegantly decorated. The service was very kind, prompt, and attentive, from start to finish. The two of us ordered a bunch of smaller dishes from the dim sum / lunch menu to share: The prawn hargow was SO good - as soon as it arrived you could smell that iconic, authentic fragrant dim sum steam coming out. Each piece was so yummy and had lots of juicy filling (and prawns super delicious). The spare ribs were not bad, they were a little on the blander side unfortunately but I did like that they were boneless haha. Me and my lazy eating,,, We tried to order the crispy BBQ pork buns but were told that they were already out for the day :( How they ran out by 12:30pm ish is beyond me, it was really quite disappointing. We ordered the beef buns instead, which thankfully were also really delicious. The crust was really light and flaky, and the filling was fantastic. Savoury, flavourful beef paired with not too much pepper, and I also loved the onions. The chilli oil dumplings (紅油抄手) was surprisingly good; we were a bit sceptical at first since it's not traditionally a part of Cantonese/dim sum cuisine. The fillings were really big and savoury, and the chilli oil smelled so good that we wanted to dip everything in it. And it was actually spicy! Always a treat to find that outside of Asia Finally we had the egg tarts - SO. GOOD. The crust was so soft and delicate - you could see the dozens of layers after layer. The filling was also amazing - not too sweet, perfectly soft/liquidy on the inside, and was a wonderful dessert for our meal. We also got the mango paradise and the jasmine cooler which were both quite delightful, I loved the jasmine one in particular. Overall, it was definitely on the pricier side, coming out to around $60-70 each for this; I'm not convinced that the quality/amount of food was worthwhile at this price to come again (maybe it would have been better with a larger group)? Still, I do think it was a good experience to have come once, especially given how popular/famous Mott 32.

The food was very good and good variety the service was excellent as well as a nice ambience

Can we talk? This place makes Chinese food like it's nobodies business. Absolutely positively the best Chineese food I have had....ever. Hands down--send home the fans. Game over. I mean, seriously, I might come to Vancouver just to come here. The Peking duck was moist with perfectly crisped skin and each scrumptious bite drew me closer to a heavenly plane. Although I don't log my dreams or remember them, I suspect this meal--alongside an episode of GOT where I was the purported protagonist-- was featured. The General Tso chicken was cooked perfect with the perfect size of chicken chunks and perfect batter and cooked just right. The sauce was velvety smooth with the perfect amount of seasoning and the ensconced chicken was moist and delicious. I know what you're thinking....the chicken and broccoli couldn't have been special. Well, ok, maybe you're right....but the chicken was prepared with intention, and the right size, chunk shapes, and seasoning while the broccoli was cooked just right without sag, sog or hard crunch. Sauce (on side) was best ever. The fried rice was delectable and seasoned just right and the portion and proportion of ingredients was generous and just right respectively. Bacon and cucumber rolls were very special--not the largest portion but for what it lacked in that realm it made up for in terms of unique taste. Not meaning to come across hackneyed or cause a rolling of the eyes-- the Chow Fun was fun to eat and throughly enjoyable. I have made this before-- the quick and easy way and the long and sophisticated way--it was clear that they took the latter approach. There were layers of taste the amalgamated to create a fresh, cheery, and enjoyable main course. Service was dutifully attentive and professional. They made us feel special. They checked in repeatedly and often and even explained how items were prepared and consumption suggestions (e.g. soup dumpling scooped and gullet). To be frank, I felt like I was a king--not in the obnoxious authoritarian sort of way but in the way they treated us. The ambiance was classy, new-age, and high-end with the kitchen visible from tables. It supported the rest of the experience. I seldom give out scores of 5. I reserve that for impeccable places that I consider destination stops. Congratulations to the restaurant... and to those who make the wise choice to come here.

It's not a traditional Chinese restaurant. It's a Chinese fusion restaurant. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. We had an order of seafood hot and sour soup which the waitress offered to split it into two bowls so we can both had a taste. The presentation of the soup dumplings was wonderful. The mixed seafood fried rice was plentiful and delicious; I'd get it again. The prawns of the General Tso prawns were juicy and tender. The wok kale flavor was a bit light. It had a great selections of desserts. We had soy sauce ice cream; you can actually taste the soy sauce which was interesting and good. The mango soup was great.

Food is great. Service is top notch. Only complaint I have is the duck is not roasted well enough so there is a bit of sour taste that I do more like

A very very upscale restaurant featuring high quality Chinese cuisine. The duck was small and disappointing. In China it is served with soup made from the carcass. Not here. The skin was soft. Not crunchy. Sad. BUT. All of the other dishes were delicious and the service was very nice. I went as a party of 11 guests. Sitting at a super long table rather than a round one effectively ended much conversation. Sad. For the price of the meal I left more disappointed than delighted.

Some of the best Dimsum in the city (also the most expensive). Great high scale vibes in the restaurant and everything on the menu is fantastic. Service was top notch, would definitely come back

Hard to justify price and experience. Food was decent and service was fine but can't imagine why I would return at the prices. On a Sunday night food was served quickly and the restaurant was clean and modern styling. Price matters for most people however so unfortunately food/price can kill the rest of the otherwise nice restaurant. Crispy pork belly - blah. Soup dumplings - only dish that may compare in price to other fine dining Chinese that I have visited but with 4 dumplings vs a normal 6 dumplings. Crab fried rice with little to no crab and flavor. Szechuan red peppercorn chicken was spicy and decent flavor but at the price point absurd. Canadian tenderloin very tender and was nice dish but again at the price silly. Save your money. I understand you can pay for an experience at an upscale restaurant but there is little to no experience here to justify the prices when you can receive similar upscale Chinese at half the price or really non upscale Chinese for a quarter of the price. Review the menu prices before you make reservations. If you want a laugh check the salt and pepper lobster pricing. $180....

You'll feel like you're transported into a comic book where they serve the best food. The food is truly amazing. This is the best BBQ pork bun ever. The filling is full and flavorful. I never thought that I would be someone that can taste the complexity in food. It happened here. The ratio of bun to filling is perfect. I should have stayed with the Dim Sum theme. I made a mistake ordering General Tso's chicken. I wanted to try something different. The regret is that the quantity is too much. The enjoyment of having small bite of flavor was missing. The kicker is that the owner or head chef dresses up like a manga boss and prepares the food.

The crispy pork belly is not crispy at all. Not worth to try. Many other restaurants and even food courts have better crispy pork belly for cheaper price. However, their server was friendly and nice, after we complained the crispy pork, she offered us the dessert.

Wow best BBQ Pork bun I ever had. This place is expensive but just like a Mercedes Benz you get what you pay for! Come with a groused pre-order the duck. I was here alone so not possible for me. The dumpling soup is a bit spicy but not overpowering. Very enjoyable. Made fresh daily.

This place was in the hotel we were staying in, so super convenient after a bit of a drive up. We decided against the Peking duck because it looked like way too much food for just 2 people and we didn't want to feel like we had to take leftovers back to our hotel room mini fridge. But we saw lots of people ordering it. We chose several options off the a la cart menu and all were tasty. Vibe was cool. We had a reservation, but When we were sat they put us at this small table directly against a POS station. We were concerned we would be uncomfortable in that seat and the host was like "we hardly use this one". My husband was like "hell no" and we immediately asked to be moved. We moved over one table and all was good. Sorry to say the next couple sat in that awful spot, and wouldn't you know, the servers kept using the pos there which was literally right next to the guys face. Horrible spot, stop seating people there! Food was good. Sommelier was great and suggested great wine and after dinner wines. Mabo tofu with lobster was so yummy, but barely had any tofu. Short rib was super tasty. Soy sauce ice cream was AMAZING! Overall a great spot. Overall a cool spot. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome meal here at Mott 32 Vancouver. All the dishes were authentic and delicious. It may not be for everybody. But the frog legs were the best I had ever had in North America. And the soft boiled quail egg siu mai wasn't something you could find everywhere. Loved them! Our waiter was professional, very helpful, and super friendly. Value was way better than iDen which we also visited during our trip in Vancouver. Well to be fair, we didn't have Peking duck here. And the place wasn't crowded in any sense on a Sunday evening. After all, it was the most satisfying meal of the trip.

The duck was moist and meaty. Pre-order a day in advance. The pancake for the duck was very thin, exactly how I like it. Love the texture of their egg white and black sesame dessert. Egg tarts needs 20 mins to bake, fresh and not overly sweet. If you have a tight schedule, pick another day because this place is meant to be enjoyed. Not rush through.

Great atmosphere, delicious food,great drinks and service We had soup dumplings tenderloin and rice noodles and spicy chicken delicious . Michelle did a great job explaining the menu and looking after us

If you're looking for a place for dressed up Canto fare and cocktails this is it. Located in the Paradox Hotel in downtown Vancouver (formerly Trump Hotel). Trendy Asian inspired interiors with good selection of small to medium tables and booths. We reserved for dinner and preordered the duck. This is advertised as applewood smoked duck only available on limited quantities. Presentation was beautiful they wheel it up to you and carve it table side. Skin had the nice crisp and very subtle smoked flavour. The meat was tender and juicy but otherwise rather bland without the traditional continents of green onion and cucumber strips. Their accompanying sauce is a mix of hoisin and sesame peanut sauce. The steamed thin wraps were nicely done tasted freshly baked. Also tried the crispy frog legs, smoked black cod, baked Alaska crab legs and second course fried rice with the Peking duck. The frog legs were expertly done crisp and fried with garlic and dried chilies. Smoked black cod table presentation is artistically done. But there is so much batter and sauce and infused smoke it covers all the delicate flavours of any black cod fish. The baked Alaska crab legs had right mix of seasonings with salted eye yolk however the entree is more of an appetizer. Really like the crispy duck fried rice. We had fantastic cocktails and friendly service. This place is great for a special evening out but there are many comparable restaurants offering high level Cantonese cuisine at this price point. This place is a good intro to those who want to try Chinese food. Not a repeat dining experience for me.

You're here for the EXPERIENCE AND great tasting food for some reviews claiming they had similar tasting food at lesser price. We had all of our criteria's met. Wonderful service, food, ambiance & environment. We savored every dish from the beginning ( appetizers: soup dumplings & cucumber )( waygu fried rice, Schezwan chicken, Peaking duck, ). With this, our party of 4 fully satisfied. The whole duck is initially presented at the table followed by someone coming back to carve @ serve it. Duck is provided with thin crepes and fixings which you should individually roll u prior to eating. SHOUT out to our amazing server Bobby who made wonderful recommendations . The American foodie in me would come back here on my next visit to Canada !

We had high expectations, but ended up underwhelmed. The food was tasty, the duck salad in particular was beautiful, we savoured every bite, but the soup dumplings were sour and bitter, was it lemon balm? We expected a nice, delicate, unctious black cod, instead it was deep fried, candied, and tasted like camp fire (after a week of camping following a few weeks of smoke from the raging wildfires, well. My husband was surprised that anyone deliberately made food taste like a camp fire). The lamb was spectacular. I ordered a vodka martini witb a twist, it was gin. Our server wasn't around to check it or even fill our water glass until we paid. The table next to us didn't bother eating food, took lots of photos. Then there was the table with the kid with too much money accomplished by models who kept heading to powder their noses en deux. Must have been some rough stuff, as he was picking at and wiping his nose whenever they left, then all were happy again as he bragged about more overpriced food he spent a month's rent on in Dubai. Do these people even like food? We asked for each dish to be brought out separately, they weren't. Wait, wait, wait here's your drink, wait, salad, ooh! While eating that here are the soup dumplings--please leave the lid on as we finish this course, wait, wait, water out, wait, wait, lamb (I thought that was supposed to be last?) then while we had our few bites of that the smoky candied cod arrived (why again did they do that?) The atmosphere was nice, but then the music changed to bad schmoovy. My goals included hot springs, fancy Chinese, and a glacier, two out of three ain't bad, but Vancouver did not impress me in the right way. Also, don't drive up Hastings.

Food is delicious, great staff and nice ambience, roasted pork belly is a must try! We would definitely come back and try their Peking duck as you need to order 24 hrs in advance

The hostess is friendly. The restaurant is gorgeous inside. We pre ordered the duck. The duck was delicious. The sides such as the sauces and cucumbers came without the respective spoons, the wraps were stuck to the papers and no tongs were brought to help seperate the wrap from the paper. The dishes were NEVER refreshed or even so much as an offer to switch out to fresh plates. Service was slow and practically nonexistent. We will not be going back.

Went with the fam on their last night visiting last year and although I cannot speak to some of the items ordered Pluma pork, H & S soup dumplings or beef rice noodle since I do not eat beef or pork, but they appeared to love it. It is a favorite since they're from HK and go frequently when they used to live there. I had the Lobs MaPo Tofu sans pork, pea tip & egg fried rice which were all delicious! We also had their egg tarts which were great to end the meal.

Hmm. based on some of the Yelp reviews, a lot of people are not great fans of Mott32. Well, we're from out of town, so can't really judge this in comparison with other Vancouver Chinese places (I'm sure there are plenty of great ones). But for us, we really liked this place - so 5 stars. We've been here both for lunch and dinner a couple of times. We ordered the Peking Duck (you need to do that 1 day in advance) and tried some of our favorite dim sum (esp. soup dumplings) and some new ones. Posted a few of pages from the extensive menu.

Had a very delicious dinner here with my family! First time checking this place out and really enjoyed the meal. It's a little pricey, but the savoury dishes tasted absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable and the space was very beautiful. For starters, we got the truffle siu mai (3 for $24) and the scallop, shrimp and beetroot dumplings (4 for $20 but we added an extra one). Definitely some elevated dimsum. The truffle siu mai was absolutely impeccable. Next, we had the stir fried tenderloin and the wok fried scallops. Both were phenomenal. Great umami flavors - the tenderloin was cooked perfectly with the crunchy asparagus and the scallops came with these flavor packed morel mushrooms. The highlight was the apple wood roasted Peking duck ($98). You have to pre order one day in advance but we asked on the day of, and luckily they were able to serve us. It was cool to have the chef cut it in front of us. The wraps were nice and thin and served hot. We also had the sautéed string beans with the wagyu beef (wished there was more meat) and the lobster fried rice (wished there was more lobster). For dessert, we shared the mango soup, matcha cheese cake, and mango glutinous rice roll. Nothing overly special -- you can get all these desserts for cheaper at other HK style dessert shops but we were craving something sweet.

The food wasn't bad. The problem is we went there while on vacation because their menu screams duck and we were ready for it. Only problem is you can't order any duck unless you order it before you go there. Nothing, no duck

Wow, everything on the menu tasted delicious! And the food presentation looked amazing as well. Even though we ate dinner there on a busy Saturday night, they still prepared the food promptly! My favorites included peking duck, crispy duck fat fried rice, beef short ribs, honey bbq pork, all dim sum and any of their mango dessert creations. But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The enclosed yet tranquil environment, made the experience even more enjoyable. Probably the best Chinese restaurant on the continent, imo.

Delicious food! They have a separate vegetarian/ vegan menu with lots of options. Everything we tasted was fresh and tasty and it also looked beautiful. Staff was extraordinary, very attentive and nice. The place was clean, quiet and gorgeous.

Went for the peking duck but was surprised by the variety of dishes. We went duck,duck,duck. Duck saad, peking duck and duck fried rice. Presentation was spot on. The decor is elegant. The only negative I can report is the loud "house" music is too loud and incongruous w/the decor
