Our family dined here for lunch today (July 24, 2024), and it was pretty good! I'd say it's a cheaper Canadian version of Din Tai Fung. The quality was nearly on par with DTF, too.
The inside of the restaurant had plenty of tables for large groups and it had pretty simple decor.
We ordered the juicy pork dumplings and the skin was really thin, while the meat on the inside was quite tasty and soupy.
The other dishes we ordered included the pan friend shanghai style rice cake, green scallion pancake, spicy wontons, dan-dan noodles, deep fried calamari, and green chive pocket.
The food came out quite fast after we ordered, and our table was full of dishes in a short period of time. The star of our meal was the juicy pork soup dumplings.
Even tough they came with 6 dumplings per order, the price was very reasonable and priced lower than the dumplings at DTF in California.
I'd highly recommend this dumpling restaurant to anyone that visits Vancouver (or lives locally here).Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 20, 2024
I had a very good meal at Dinesty Dumpling House during my recent trip to Vancouver! I was in the mood for soup dumplings, and what started as a snack ended up being a full dinner.
I was intrigued by their Steamed Black Truffle & Pork Soup Dumplings, so I started with an order of that. I'll be honest, this left a bit to be desired--there was way too much truffle oil/seasoning on the dumplings and was very overpowering, not just in flavor but also in smell. If you like a lot of truffle flavoring though, then definitely get it.
Next I thought I'd "wash" that all down then by getting an order of Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and making it extra spicy. Now this dish was totally worth it--I loved every single bite, and the portion was so huge I took it home and had it for lunch the next day.
Service here was very kind to me too as well, and many people around me all seemed to be enjoying their meals.
Definitely consider visiting Dinesty Dumpling House!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 10710221748Jul 7, 2024
Good chinese food, but nothing super duper outstanding. I saw this spot had good reviews and wanted to give it a try.
We got a few items, with my favorite probably being the beef roll pancake. Something about the scallion pancake combo with beef and hoisin is so good. The soup dumplings and potstickers were fine, but I also did like the red bean rice cake for dessert -- it reminded me just of the din tai fung one!
Service was okay, and the restaurant itself is huge. If you're looking for something filling and satisfying in the area, look no further!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 30, 2024
A friend of mine brought my husband and I here for dinner. If you don't get there before they open at 5pm, there's always a long line. The parking lot only had parking meters near by the restaurant. We were quickly seated and tea was brought to us.
We ordered Braised Beef Noodle Soup, [Special]Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings, Steamed Shrimp, Scallop, & Pork Soup Dumplings (6), Steamed Vegetable & Pork Dumplings (6), Pan Fried Shrimp & Pork Pot Stickers (6pcs), Pan Fried Pork Pot Stickers (6pcs), Pan Fried Marinated Beef Wraps (4pcs)...etc. The dumplings were brought to the table at the same time and were piping hot but cooled down quickly. The cold Dumplings and Stickers didn't taste very good. The beef noodles was delicious and the meat was meltingly tender. Pan Fried Shrimp & Pork Pot Stickers were crispy and yummy. Good service and quick service. Next time I want to try something else.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 2566742905May 18, 2024
Upon entering Dinesty Dumpling House, you're greeted with a window to the open kitchen where you see dumplings in the making. The restaurant is modern and large, but a bit cramped (tables close to each other).
I ordered a small hot & sour soup and pork xiao long baos (6 piece). The hot & sour soup was good, warming on a cold day with a good balance of spicy and sour flavors. But the XLBs were just ok, not super flavorful and unmemorable.
Service was quick, not the friendliest but also not rude. I wouldn't return if they're out of the way.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Jul 5, 20241 check-in
The dishes were delicious overall, though I'd steer clear of the hot and sour soup. Service could definitely use a boost, though!

We walked in with a group of 7 on a Wednesday night and were quickly accommodated. The 8 year old and I have an obsession with soup dumplings and we were not disappointed. The only disappointing item was the pan fried marinated beef wraps. They had a large chunk of cucumber in the middle that didn't seem to quite fit. Other places I have been to have added fresh greens, which seems to compliment the dish better.
Service was good. Staff were efficient and food came out quickly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 10, 2024
I came here on the recommendation of a friend but didn't realize how packed it gets until after I was dining. They close between lunch and dinner and I arrived about 5-10 minutes before doors opened.
Food wise:
- Xiao Long Bao: juicy, good flavor, better than other places for sure -- I got the shrimp scallop and pork XLB and I don't regret doing so
- Shumai: skippable. I think that there's a small shrimp on top, but I didn't love the flavor of the filling. There was a STRONG citrusy and green (maybe ginger? Maybe also cilantro?) flavor
- scallion pancake: MUST get, it's worth the extra time it takes to be made
Service was just so-so, but it's understandable given how busy it is inside. Overall, I was pretty content with my meal here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - May 28, 2024
We came here on our last day in Vancouver and the food was great. Service was fast and good. Everything we had was excellent. My only complaint is that the onion pancakes were a bit on the thicker side and not as light as I'm used to. I would definitely recommend and return to this place.

Black truffle soup dumplings.
I didn't even know this was a thing. Never seen them anywhere but here they were on the menu. So we had to get them.
And boy were they good. The right mix of broth and pork. And just the right size too. And hearty enough they didn't break when you picked them up.
We also had a fried rice and screw buns too. All was great. Quick service and a nice interior (though more functional than luxurious).
Really enjoyed this place but get the dumplings for sure.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
