Vancouver is home to plenty of great dim sum spots, and one of those has long been Kam Wai Dim Sum. Located at 249 E. Pender St., this spot has been serving classic dim sum ever since it first opened in 1991. Now, it looks like the brand is preparing to open a second location in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood.

Signs of Kam Wai Dim Sum have appeared at the former location of Viet Thanh Supermarket.

Kam Wai has been a Chinatown staple for over 30 years and is best known for its affordable frozen and prepared-at-home dim sum classics, as well as its grab-and-go steamed buns, ready-to-eat dim sum, and other seasonal offerings, such as moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As for an opening date, it has yet to be announced. Dished reached out to Kam Wai for more details.
