I did attempt to visit the restaurant a couple times, \u00a0right after they moved and became a part of River Rock Casino a few years ago. But I failed to find anything\u00a0available for the same day when I called. This time I called them the night before, which I rarely do for any other dim sum places if there are just 2 of us, and they could only promise me a table at 10am when they were opening the door in the morning. There was a condition too, we had to leave by 11:30am. \u00a0After getting through all this, I muttered to myself, their food&#8217;d better be amazing!<\/p>\n<h4>First Impression<\/h4>\n<p>When we arrived at 9:50am, there was already 10 &#8211; 15 people lining up ahead of us. \u00a0Walking inside, I was geting quite impressed by\u00a0the place. With a vastly spacious dining room with a high ceiling, chystal chandeliers, and other lavish decorative details, Sea Harbaour definitely stands out as one of\u00a0the most upscale Chinese restaurants\u00a0in Metro Vancouver. The only other restaurant with such a spectacular space\u00a0that I could think of would be Kirin at Starlight Casino. It&#8217;s interesting that\u00a0those two restaurants are\u00a0quite similar\u00a0&#8211; both relatively new, tastefully designed, and serving\u00a0high-end seafood-centered Cantonese cuisine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7714\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7714 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173.jpeg\" alt=\"Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-173-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>The Dishes<\/h4>\n<p>First we had the labour intensive <strong>Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky Rice<\/strong> ($5.95). The bones were carefully removed from the wings, which were filled with sticky rice and other scrumptious ingredients. The chicken skin were deep fried to golden and crispy, and for a second I felt like biting into my favourite fried squab. Although there were only 2 wings and they were quite small, we took our time savouring those\u00a0delicious bites.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7709\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7709\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7709 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168.jpeg\" alt=\"Fried Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky Rice\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-168-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7708\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7708\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7708 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167.jpeg\" alt=\"Fried Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky Rice\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-167-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7708\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried Chicken Wings Stuffed with Sticky <a style=\"text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color:#000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.levitra-meds.net\/\"> no prescription levitra <\/a> Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We also enjoyed the <strong>Pan Fried Dry Scallop Buns<\/strong> ($5.25), which came sizzling hot in a small cast iron pot, filled with a flavourful mixture of pork and dry scallop, warm, juicy, turning into\u00a0quite a\u00a0surf-and-turf adventure in a couple of mouthfuls, and\u00a0the <strong>Har Gow \/ Shrimp Dumplings<\/strong> ($5.95), their version of the King of Dim Sum, which was on point in flavour and texture.

The price was on the higher end but so were the service and the food, which I absolutely had no problem with. In fact the dining room here is so much more spacious than a lot of the classy Chinese restaurant in the same price range, which is quite a bonus. I definitely recommend the Stuffed Chicken Wings and the Pan Fried Scallop Buns, which show some terrific cooking techniques. And just keep in mind that, if you are looking for a table at Sea Harbour for dim sum on the weekend, you better call them at least a day in advance. Happy dim sum&#8217;ing everyone!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7706\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7706 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165.jpeg\" alt=\"Sea Harbour @ River Rock Casino Resort Central Richmond\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-165-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sea Harbour @ River Rock Casino Resort Central Richmond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7707\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7707\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7707 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166.jpeg\" alt=\"Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-166-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7707\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7715\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7715 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174.jpeg\" alt=\"Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image-174-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant @ River Rock Casino Resort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Website:<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seaharbour.com\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.seaharbour.com\/en\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Menu and more reviews:<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp;
