Neptune Palace Seafood Restaurant: Michelin-Recommended Dim Sum and Cantonese Seafood in Marpole

Neptune Palace Seafood Restaurant is an expansive Cantonese banquet hall and restaurant at Marine Gateway in south Vancouver, and one of the best-value Michelin-recognised Chinese restaurants in the city. It has been a Michelin Guide Vancouver Recommended restaurant for several years, including 2026, with inspectors noting that it is no secret to locals looking for excellent dim sum and Cantonese specialties.

Here's how to make the most of a visit.

About Neptune Palace

Neptune Palace has kept a relatively low profile in editorial coverage, partly because of its location on SW Marine Drive, far from downtown and Richmond's restaurant strips. Its consistent Michelin recognition at a moderate price point has changed that, and it now draws both neighbourhood families and visitors.

The room is large and well suited to groups, banquets and family celebrations, and the kitchen is known for consistency rather than theatrics.

The Menu

How It Works

Lunch is all about dim sum and is the best-value way to visit. Dinner shifts to a wider seafood menu, including premium delicacies, plus roast meats and classic Cantonese dishes.

What to Order

• Dim sum: the main draw at lunch, with all the Cantonese classics.
• Live seafood: lobster, crab and fish prepared in Cantonese styles.
• Premium delicacies: abalone and sea cucumber for special occasions.
• Crisp-skinned roast duck: a Cantonese favourite at dinner.
• Sweet and sour pork with pineapple: a well-made classic.

Dietary Needs

Seafood and pork feature heavily. Ask staff about vegetable dishes and allergens.
