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.

    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!

    As an Asian guy, I’ve had my fair share of dim sum, and let me tell you, Little Bird fell a bit short. All the dishes I tried were a bit too bland and lacked that authentic flavor I’m looking for. I ordered 7 dishes, including some recommended ones, but none of them really hit the spot. And don’t even get me started on the tea - it was so weak it tasted like water. The service was great, though, so I guess that’s a plus. But if you’re a true dim sum enthusiast, you might want to look elsewhere.

    Great food, service and dining experience. Just need larger scissors to easily divide up the portions efficiently.

    Every dish was amazing! They were accommodating of a large party and brought food out hot. The price was incredibly reasonable as well. All worth it!! I get the hype.

    Love coming here. Service was great today. One of the waiters was on top of everything! He always was polite with a smile. Food was great except one item. The glutinous balls. They were so hard , not like normal. We still ate them 🤪. Will be back.

    We absolutely love this spot!! Come here monthly and it is unreal every time. Wish they had lagers on tap and a hard liquor bar but service and vibes are unmatched!

    This is the fourth time we visited the place, food quality seems to have gone downhill compared to when it first opened.
