With locations in Burnaby and Surrey, Lee Garden has established its name for quite a while and is always a popular spot among local folks who do not leave the neighbourhoods for dim sum and authentic Cantonese food. But is the restaurant good enough for people from Vancouver or Richmond to travel all the way? I am about to find out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s that time of the year again, my birthday dinner organized by my beloved UBC friends. This year the other birthday girl Loretta suggested Lee Garden, which quickly concurred by me. I have always wanted to try the place, as the location in Burnaby is always a top choice for Cantonese cuisine in the city. However, Grace warned me &#8211; it might not be up to my expectations if I eat a lot in Richmond.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18356\" style=\"width: 2238px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-18356 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323.jpg\" alt=\"Lee Garden Burnaby\" width=\"2238\" height=\"1491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323.jpg 2238w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-83x55.jpg 83w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7323-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2238px) 100vw, 2238px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lee Garden Burnaby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18357\" style=\"width: 2268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-18357 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759.jpeg\" alt=\"Lee Garden Burnaby\" width=\"2268\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759.jpeg 2268w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-83x55.jpeg 83w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-640x427.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/955F939F-B5D3-4225-80EE-0BFEAE4B8759-750x500.jpeg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2268px) 100vw, 2268px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lee Garden Burnaby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The restaurant has a parking lot in the back but it seems always full.

thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>The bottom line: they nailed the Sweet &amp; Sour Pork. That means a lot in Cantonese dining. Lee Garden reminds me of Continental Seafood in Richmond, a bit off the city centre but taking advantage of the cheaper rent to offer a huge space. For diners who like Chinese food but prefer somewhere a bit quieter and not so crowded, Lee Garden is a great choice. Food-wise, such restaurants would face the same issue &#8211; how to be consistent with handling so many customers at the same time. Our group dinner (10 adults + 4 kids) was quite decent considering there was a wedding banquet going on in the main area the same evening. The restaurant was fully packed.\u00a0 For Cantonese dishes more refined, I would rather find my way to Richmond city centre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>$$<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>rating: <strong>3.5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><em>Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant \u5229\u82d1\u6d77\u9bae\u9152\u5bb6<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>6401 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC V5E 1E1<\/em><br \/>\n<em>(604) 428-8885 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Lee-Garden-Seafood-Restaurant\/786694078021624\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lee Garden on Facebook<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d36392.23245254107!2d-122.99751090283995!3d49.19849143606464!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x313d915b0b468f26!2sLee%20Garden%20Seafood%20Restaurant!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sca!4v1570051668607!5m2!1sen!2sca\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant, South Burnaby and other Restaurants in Metro Vancouver\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/vancouver\/lee-garden-seafood-restaurant-south-burnaby-burnaby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/16627744\/biglink\" alt=\"Lee Garden Seafood Restaurant Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first impression of Lee Garden is the sheer size of the restaurant.
