Method: shortlist of 6 new Chinese dine-in openings (2024–Oct 2026) in metro Vancouver, compiled 2026-10-30 from live web search across independent hosts; one row per restaurant with its strongest source linked. Mention counts tally independent sources covering each spot, not ratings. Spend is approximate per-person cost in CAD where published; Haisan’s $180 16-course format, Heritage’s $20–30 spend and Din Tai Fung’s plate prices were corroborated from a second result set. Time Out Market (a food hall, not a Chinese restaurant) was cut. Dine-in availability should be reconfirmed when booking.
