For over 40 years, our family has served traditional Cantonese food and dim sum to generations of devoted customers. We’re proud to continue that tradition, while at the same time, making it our own.

For centuries, it has been Chinese custom to pair dim sum’s delicious bite-size dumplings, buns and other small snacks with freshly brewed tea for morning and mid-afternoon meals. This pairing led to the expression “yum cha,” which not only means “to drink tea,” but also symbolizes getting together with friends and family.

At Little Bird, we’re starting our own tradition. We believe that “yum cha” means getting together with friends and family for dim sum at any time. Not just paired with aromatic teas, but also amazing local craft beers and wines.

Talk Sum. Eat Sum. Sip Sum.

    Good, reliable food. When we decided to order more food, our server kindly brought out fresh plates and chopsticks. House made sauces make this place special. It’s accessible, with an english menu dim sum for those who want a smaller, quieter restaurant than typical Chinese dim sum.

    First time at Little Bird - loved it! This is a true neighbourhood gem - the food was terrific and service was great. We tried a variety of dishes - the baby gai lan, pot stickers, vegetarian shanghai bun, etc, plus the green tea sesame ball which I absolutely loved. The portions are a good size for sharing between two people and the range of flavours between the dishes was wonderful. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back soon.

    Love this restaurant. Food was great today and we did not have to wait long in between courses. Servers were polite and on-top of filling glasses and changing plates for the dessert.

    A wide variety of excellent dim sim. We enjoyed every dish. When full, it is a very energetic place being so narrow a restaurant. Pretty good service in spite pf how busy it gets…

    Wonderful little spot with great food and attentive staff. Two of us dining came out to less than $50, which is pretty awesome for a quality restaurant in Vancouver. We will be back!
