The Deluxe Chinese Restaurant is located in Richmond just off of No 3 Road by Aberdeen Mall. We were invited to try their dim sum items on the menu and of course I couldn’t say no. This restaurant just opened up recently and they serve up dim sum, sushi, sashimi, and regular Chinese dinner items.
The dining room is large and they also have a few private rooms too. I can imagine a lot of weddings, birthdays and other celebrations here.
Dim Sum
There was no shortage of dim sum during my visit. It was pretty damn epic. Of course they knew we were coming, so they made sure all the food arrived at the same time.
Ha Gau (Prawn Dumpling)
This is a classic item to order at dim sum and it comes with 5 pieces in each basket. The skin was a decent thickness and the shrimp inside was very delicious.
It’s always something I order no matter where I go. You can pair it with XO sauce or spicy sauce for an extra kick of flavour.
Truffle Siu Mai (Pork & Shrimp Dumpling)
They do their siu mai a bit differently with the added truffle. The dumpling is still delicious. 5 pieces per basket too.
House Special Wild Rice Noodle Roll
Inside the pinky rice roll due to the wild rice are crispy fried vermicelli surrounding each piece of shrimp. There are 9 pieces to the order.
Baked Portuguese Tarts
These unique looking baked Portugese tarts were amazing. The flakey crust and the silky smooth egg mixture. Yum.
Garlic Prawn Spring Rolls
3 pieces in an order served in a cup. The spring rolls were crisp on the outside with the prawn mixture inside.
Steamed Pork Spareribs
Lots in this basket and there was a good amount of meat in each piece.
Country Style Steamed Honey Comb Cake
One of my favourite Chinese desserts. It’s slightly sweet and it’s not too sweet. A good asian amount of sweetness. We don’t really like our dessert overly sweet.
Green Tea Glutinous Pancakes
On the inside is mango and the green tea glutinous pancakes rolled around it. It was ok, but not my favourite dessert.
Steamed Creamy Carrot Custard Buns
A sweet custard filling inside these are great when its hot and fresh.
Steamed Buns with Mushroom & Taro Roots
Very cute concept of having the bun look like a mushroom, but I didn’t like a lacklustre taro root filling.
Shredded Chicken with Cucumber
This dish was one of my favourites too, but it does have quite a bit of sesame oil. Served cold and it also has crunchy taro strips to give it more of a crunchy texture.
Pumpkin Congee with Sparerib
I love congee and this was very savoury with all the ample amount of meat inside. I would order this again.
Preserved Egg and Pork Congee
A classic and what I instantly noticed was the amazing amount of preserved egg and pork. Very impressive and I would order this again too.
Soy Sauce Chow Mein
A good dish to share among the table. Nice texture and flavour as well.
Singapore Fried Noodles
It had a good amount of ingredients in this fried noodle. The texture of the noodles were a tad on the dry side, but it was still enjoyable.
Nigiri
They surprisingly have nigiri on the menu with tuna, salmon or hamachi. Each piece is pre-sauced, which I didn’t like as much. I personally like mine with a slight dab of soy sauce to keep the natural flavours of the fish.
Tamago
They have pieces of tamago as well, but it was missing something. It’s really hard to find a place that makes a good tamago.
Speciality Japanese Rolls
For a Chinese restaurant, they had a good selection of specialty sushi rolls. Still strange to see sushi here when you order dim sum.
Mango Roll
They craft them nicely, but the rice ratio is a bit much. When they roll it, there is a slight flaw. The mango roll was refreshing with their thinly sliced mango, which is in season.
Dragon Roll
Dragon roll has alternating toppings of eel and avocado. Inside is salmon and asparagus. It was good but it was a tad pricey.
Salmon Oshi Sushi
It has tobiko, salmon, sauce and layers of rice. Delicious but it had a bit to much rice and also it still doesn’t compare to Miku, where this type of sushi originated from.
Final Thoughts
A good spread of items for dim sum, but I would stick with the classic. There’s nothing inherently wrong with their sushi or sashimi, but the flavours don’t blend as well when you go from congee to a California roll. Their dim sum is solid and I really fell in love with their congee.
