Seaport City Seafood: Michelin Bib Gourmand Dim Sum and Live Seafood on Cambie
Seaport City Seafood is an elegant Cantonese restaurant on Cambie Street that has earned the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand for great food at good value every year since 2023, and won bronze for Best Chinese at the 2026 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. It is especially loved for dim sum that is traditional at heart but refined in execution.
Here is what to order at Seaport City and how to plan your visit.
About Seaport City Seafood
Seaport City is owner May Mai's second restaurant, following The Deluxe Chinese Seafood in Richmond, and shares its name with a restaurant in Zhongshan, China. The kitchen team is large and the menu deep, with more than 100 dishes and many more ways to prepare live seafood.
Rather than relying only on deliveries, a seafood manager shops for the best catch each day. Michelin inspectors describe the dining room, up a flight of stairs from Cambie Street, as an elegant space with chandeliers and pristine fish tanks.
