Yan's House

My father had a minor procedure done in Maple Ridge done in the morning and on the way back, he said he wanted dim sum. I knew about Yan’s but hadn’t had a chance to come out this way before. It was the perfect opportunity to try it out and have my folks with me. We arrived thinking it would be slow for a Monday but it was surprising busy. 15 tables were sat by the time we settled in and that’s always a great sign for a restaurant and its quality. Because of its location, seeing that many tables meant that locals knew the spot to have dim sum in Port Coquitlam. We got there shortly after 11:30. We weren’t looking to be full but still wanted to try a few dishes. We ordered the Har Gao (Shrimp Dumplings), Siu Mai (Pork Dumpling with Shrimp), Ha Cheung (Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll), Lo Mai Gai (Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf), and Jiaoyan Youyu (Deep Fried Squid with Pepper Salt). Everything was great. Nowadays Siu Mai comes with minced or diced shrimp but theirs is whole inside. A welcome return to that. Tasty. The Ha Cheung was really well done with the rice roll being soft and with a nice bite. My dad and I actually ordered a second order of each. My only quip was that the Jiaoyan Youyu topping was a little too salty. The squid was incredible, very soft and not very chewy at all. The pieces were large and well battered. It’s just the crackling topping they put on top. We didn’t know if that was the standard but everything else was great so we didn’t say anything. We just didn’t eat all of the topping. I will say that as I was paying for the bill, my parents mentioned to our server and she was very nice and told us that we should have mentioned it earlier and they could have replaced it. That was really cool of her. Overall it was a fantastic meal with my parents. Everything was really well done and the atmosphere was on point with how busy it was. I will definitely be back when my parents and I return to the area next month. Thank you!!

Great service and decor. Food portion size is generous. The roasted duck is good. The skin is crispy and meat is tender. Goes really well with the tortillas. Kids can't stop eating them. The duck with pineapple and ginger is disappointing as the duck meat doesn't go well with the sweet and sour sauce. Should've ordered the minced duck with lettuce wrap instead. Honey garlic pork ribs is good. Very kids friendly. Sweet and crispy.

I came here for lunch with my family. Food was pretty good. Service was fine at first ( I don't expect too much at Chinese restaurant) but after the food came, I saw the owner cleaned up all the tables and checked on us. I was so impressed. Highly recommend to support this business.

Very good Chinese food. More “authentic” than standard American Chinese food. Rice and noodle dishes are excellent. We get the prawn dim sum soup every time we go.

Reviews brought me here. Decided to celebrate our mother's birthday and it was an excellent experience! Service was fantastic and all the dishes were delicious! The whole family (group of 7) had a great dining experience I really appreciated the quality of the ingredients and how fresh everything tasted. My favorite: Scallop & Shrimp Shiu-Mai, Sweet & Sour Boneless Pork, and Yan's House Special Fried Rice. *Deep Fried Squid with Peppery Salt was a bit too salty for my liking
