I attended a wedding banquet last week at Shun Feng Seafood Restaurant, located in Parker Place Mall in Richmond. It had a really modern decor (you can view a video of the interior on their website) and excellent service. I haven’t been to the restaurant before so I am not sure if the chair covers are actually included but if they are, that’s a bonus because the head table has red and gold chair covers while the rest has gold coloured ones (I think). It looked really impressive. Here’s a picture of the head table:
The restaurant can hold up to 300 guests. I wasn’t sure how many people were at the reception but I was happy to see that the tables were not placed too closely is it wasn’t a pain to move in and out. Throughout the evening the service were excellent. The servers provided jacket covers for guests sitting close to the kitchen as well as guests who sat at locations where food will be dropped off at each tables. This is to ensure that their jackets won’t get damaged in case the servers accidentally spill the food. I also noticed that they were cleaning the washroom periodically so the sink area were always clean and there’s never a shortage of toilet paper or paper towels.
I found the food above average. The presentation is nice and the portion seems larger than usual, but that could be because my tables have light eaters. There is only one thing I thought could be slightly better and that is the sharkfin soup. I found that it had too many large chunks of chicken so it looked more like chicken soup. Their menus for wedding banquet are on their website. The starting price is $568 (Sept. 2008) which includes sharkfin soup, lobsters and abalone slices.
