After a six-year journey in downtown Vancouver’s bustling city core, Neptune Chinese Kitchen is saying goodbye.
The local chain’s Alberni Street location will be closing on December 29, marking the end of an era for its loyal customers.
Heartfelt Goodbye from Neptune
A notice posted on the restaurant’s door conveys a heartfelt message: “With a heavy heart, we regret to inform you that Neptune Chinese Kitchen Alberni will be closing its doors.”
The team behind Neptune extends their gratitude to the community for their support over the years.
Neptune’s Legacy in Metro Vancouver
Since its inception in 1997, Neptune Restaurant Group has become a staple in Metro Vancouver’s dining scene.
With over 5 locations throughout Metro Vancouver, each specializing in different items like wontons, noodles, and seafood, Neptune has been a go-to for authentic Chinese cuisine.
Just recently the seafood-focused branches launched an AYCE crab and lobster menu.
What’s Next for Alberni Street?
While Neptune’s departure leaves a void, the location won’t be empty for long.
The ground floor of the building is set to be redeveloped to make room for the first Canadian outlet of the Taiwanese dim sum brand, Din Tai Fung, which is expected to open sometime in 2024.
