Shi Art Chinese Cuisine

Another month, another family dinner. This time, it was at Shi Art Chinese restaurant in Richmond. Why it was called that, I’m not too sure… Shi Art Chinese restaurant offers a wide variety of “high end” Chinese cuisine. Shi Art appetizer plate. . Rating: 3 out of 5.

Shi Art might not be the most popular upscale Chinese restaurant in Richmond and their dinner menu is quite pricey.   However, they have some great dishes that hit the spot with creativity and great flavour. I highly recommend taking the advantage of their recent specials such as the live lobster and the sea cucumber hotpot. (Make sure to call them first to find out) As for their the regular menu, I have discovered the Black Truffle Chicken and it is one of the most memorable Chinese dishes for me in 2018.

My aunt was visiting from China so we all went for a family dinner at Shi-Art. It’s located inside Richmond Centre next to Tim Horton’s. It’s easily accessible by public transit and there’s plenty of parking. The restaurant has been around for a long time but I’ve only been once when I was quite young so it’s basically like my first time here.

You can order dim sum past the typical hours. If your craving for dim sum at 3 pm, this is the place to go. Usually long line-ups in the afternoon. They have a good selection of dim sum and I love their shredded chicken dish.

I really enjoyed the dim sum here. I came on a Sunday, we ordered 7 dishes and waited for a while until 4 came out altogether. Then the last 3 came. The siu mai were larger than other places I've been too but had more pork than shrimp, I prefer the other way around! That being said... it, along with the other dishes, was still really good and I would definitely return in the future
