Neptune Palace Seafood Restaurant is a Cantonese seafood restaurant at 470 Southwest Marine Drive in the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, listed as Recommended in the 2026 Michelin Guide. Its specialty is Cantonese seafood and dim sum, and those are its signature offerings. Vancouver and its southern suburbs have one of the strongest Cantonese dining traditions in North America, and Marpole, near the Fraser River and Richmond, sits within that landscape. Cantonese seafood cooking typically emphasises freshness, with fish and shellfish steamed, stir-fried or served in light sauces so the natural flavour is preserved, and diners often choose from tanks or a daily list. Dim sum, the small dishes served with tea at lunch and in the late morning, includes steamed dumplings, buns, rice noodle rolls and fried items, and is best shared by a group so that many dishes can be sampled. The exact menu should be confirmed with the restaurant. The dining room follows the style of large Cantonese restaurants, with a bright, busy, noisy atmosphere, round tables suited to families and groups, and a casual dress code. Tea is the traditional accompaniment, and dinner may include beer or wine. A meal costs about CAD 45 to 90 per person, depending on whether seafood priced by weight is ordered. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly for groups and on weekends, and the restaurant's own website lists its current booking method. Weekend dim sum can be crowded, so arriving early helps. Southwest Marine Drive is accessible by car with parking in the area, and by bus from the Marine Drive Canada Line station.
