Blossom Dim Sum & Grill is Robson Street’s newest social hub and a gathering spot for a sit-down meal or some small bites and drinks on the patio.
They just launched their happy hour menu, which happens everyday at 3-5pm and 10pm to midnight.
We were invited to give their happy hour menu a try.
Interior
This space is huge and they have done wonders decorating this place from head to toe. You can have small to really large groups at Blossom.
The decor is very fun and Asian inspired.
They have more casual dining by the sushi bar, patio, dining room & a private room as well.
White Sangria
On the happy hour menu is also their sangria. It’s perfect for the Summer weather.
Vegetable Spring Roll
There are 6 pieces per order (3 cut into halves). Crisp on the outside and savoury on the inside. For $3.50, it’s a pretty good price.
Pork Dumping , Napa Cabbage
There are 3 pieces per order. These are very big dumplings using fresh ingredients. When you bite into them, there is some juice inside but doesn’t leak.
Olives
An ingredient you don’t normally find in Chinese cooking. It comes in a variety of Italian and Spanish Olives. It’s served warm in olive oil.
Edamame
These are steamed soy beans tossed in smoked salt. It’s good to nibble on throughout the meal.
Potato Chips
The potato chops are house fried with spicy Asian ketchup. These were like rotato you would find at the night market but in chip format. Pretty good deal for $3.50 on the happy hour menu.
Crispy Prawn Dumplings
There are 3 pieces to an order and it came with a dip too. A good texture of the deep-fried dumpling skin and the delicious salty prawn meat inside.
Crispy California Roll
The California roll has crab meat and avocado inside the deep fried rice roll. Delicious and great to share with a group.
Spicy Albacore Tuna Tartare
There is wasabi soy, avocado, mixed greens, serreno, and Sichuan spicy mayo. It was delicious and it had a kick of wasabi that travels up the nose.
Lotus Korean Spicy Tuna
This dish may not look like much but the lotus chip wrap with the spicy Korean sauce was really delicious. Not too spicy and was one of our favourite dishes.
Fish Pate
The fish pate is served with rice crackers. It was very interesting to see it this way as it reminded us of a crab dip.
Smoked Salmon
This is house smoked and served with creme fraiche, capers, chilli oil and baguette. Together the items worked together to make a 2 bite treat.
The texture of the smoked salmon is a bit different and chunky.
Beef Tartare
This is made of hand cut tenderloin, mustard and herbs. It is then served with potato chips. This was decent.
Lobster Leg Fries
Now that’s something I haven’t heard of before but it makes sense! You get a good amount for only $6.50.
Final Thoughts
The happy hour menu is truly East meets West. You have a lot of fusion dishes that you would not normally see. We enjoyed the lobster fries, potato chips, crispy California roll, and lotus Korean spicy tuna.
If you want to get a taste of what Blossom has to offer, check out Happy Hour as its very affordable. They also don’t use MSG in all dishes. Items are between $3.5 and $6.5. The dishes are meant to be shared, which is great for groups.
With their beautiful interior, its good to grab a drink and some nibbles to catch up with friends.
