Chef's Choice Seafood Restaurant

Chef's Choice Seafood Restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant at 955 W Broadway in Vancouver's Fairview neighbourhood, British Columbia, promoted to the Michelin Bib Gourmand list in the 2026 guide. Vancouver has one of North America's strongest Cantonese dining scenes, and this restaurant is known for seafood and dim sum in the style that the region's Hong Kong-influenced community has long supported. Cantonese seafood is the main draw, with live-tank-style preparations typical of the genre such as steamed fish, shellfish and wok-fried dishes, while dim sum is the daytime emblem, served as small steamer baskets and plates meant for sharing. Visitors should confirm current menu items directly, since daily specials follow market supply. The dining room is a classic Cantonese banquet-style setting: large round tables, bright lighting, a busy and often loud atmosphere at peak hours, and a clientele that includes families and groups of colleagues. There is no dress code. Prices are in the moderate band of roughly CAD 45-90 (about USD 31-63) per person, with dim sum lunches typically costing less than a multi-dish seafood dinner, so the lunch-versus-dinner difference is the main way to manage the bill. Tea is the standard accompaniment, with beer and a limited wine list also available. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly for groups and weekends, and the restaurant's website lists the current booking method; dim sum service often runs on a first-come basis at weekends, so arriving before the late-morning rush helps. West Broadway is a major bus corridor and the area is close to the Broadway-City Hall and Fairview shopping and medical districts, so the restaurant is easy to reach by transit. Larger groups should arrange table size in advance, and any shellfish allergies should be flagged since seafood dominates the menu.
