Reviews for Pelican Seafood Restaurant in Vancouver, BC

Came here for the Alaskan King Crab dinner with my family this week and it was amazing and super reasonably priced. They... pre-order the crab once you confirm your reservation and show you the crab before bringing it into the kitchen to cook (it wasalive and flailing). The crab was perfectly cooked into 4 dishes. The legs and claws were steamed with garlic, the body friedwith salt/pepper/shallot/garlic, seafood fried rice was baked into the shell, and residual meat/juice was used to poach someyuchoy. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh and delicious. Service was amazing too. You have to drive through someshady areas of Vancouver, but definitely work the trip. Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat. Read more

Dim Sum on a weekly basis. Foods very consistent. Taste very good. Not oily or greasy. Very flavorful and doesn't taste like... food has been drawned in salt. Read more

Fabulous! Delicious! A lot of dishes to choose from, but the fish dish we ordered was terrific. Did I say terrific? Not enough!... This is probably the best seafood restaurant I have had in the past 20 years. When I remember the dish I will post it here. Read more

Prices are lower than others, but the experience was awful. Service was terrible - we would ask for something like tea, napkins,... etc, and it was never done. Employees were pretty rude and wouldn?t really respond after we requested for things. The food cameout slow so we never received a dish and we told them to cancel or remove it but it still ended up on the bill. We also receivedthe shrimp dumpling uncooked, the shrimp was still raw. It was sent back except to our disappointment, they didn?t give us newones but just recooked the same dish that had a half eaten spat out dumpling which was now way overcooked. Caught a glimpse ofanother table sending something back too. Given it was busy and they were slammed, things could?ve gone a lot better. Read more

Despite being a seafood restaurant, one gem here to try is their honey spare ribs.

Great food, staff was wonderful with attentive service and very reasonably price. Will definitely be going back. I heard their... dim sum is supposed to be very good. Read more

Giant portions of dim sum. Best value for sure. Nice asian minority Hangout.

Decent food at decent prices with generous portions. They usually ?comp? us the baked tapioca pudding dessert, which I find is a... nice touch at the end of our multi-course family meal. The fried black cod in Maggie sauce was a favourite as was the saltedpaper-wrapped roasted crispy chicken. Pea shoots in superior broth with roasted garlic was also a good veggie dish. The liveseafood prices were fair and I enjoyed the fresh crab in green onion and ginger sauce which was very meaty. We?ve been cominghere regularly with my extended family for a long time due to its consistency, fair prices, and decent size dishes. Read more
