This is found in the second floor of richmond public market and one of the staff can speak English. The food is ok but has great portion. For $18 through fantuan pickup, I got a lot of dishes. I ordered spicy chicken set. The spicy chicken is a bit oily and the flavor is a bit lacking. My favorite is the tomato and egg because it's a hearty meal and I like that it's not salty.
Noodle broth is too salty and just lacked of giving a fulfilling feeling and now no egg with the beef noodle bowl . Poor choices by the owners I cannot recommend this place anymore
After making multiple rounds in the food court trying to decide on what to eat, we finally picked Chef Liu Kitchen. All of the other stalls were serving generic pre-made Chinese food (i.e. fried rice, noodles, general Tso's chicken) but the spicy intestines here caught my eye. I ordered the combo for $17, and it was a lot of food. You get a bowl of the spicy intestines, rice, and three sides. The "sides" were already like an entire meal by itself! I picked tofu (they gave two huge chunks), tomato egg, and black bean string beans stir-fried with ground beef (?). This wasn't anything super special, but it was really comforting, especially having just gotten off a long flight. The spicy intestines had intestines, tofu, and pig blood, and there is a generous amount in there. I didn't know that it would be mala spicy, which I don't like because of the flavor and the tongue-numbing sensation - but this one wasn't too spicy. It was tolerable. Still, I would have preferred a different flavor. If I lived in the area, I wouldn't mind just getting the rice and some of their sides. Makes for a simple yet delicious meal.
Taiwanese beef noodle place near the SW corner of Richmond Public Market food court. Parking is available in the lot next to the food court. This place has takeout (meat on rice) combos, as well as noodle soup. I tried their Taiwanese beef noodle. Pretty decent taste. Nice large chunks of brisket. Soup was decent too. However, the soup bowl was only 2/3 full. See photo. My buddy ordered from here and his bowl was also 2/3 full, so it wasn't a fluke or a bad serving. When every other place here serves bowls that are 90-100% full, this is a problem. Knock 1 star off. I had to buy another dinner elsewhere right after eating this. Go figure.
I decided to go for the basic. Beef noodle soup. It was pretty good. I liked how they gave more veggie than the customary stalk of greens. There was about 4 chunky pieces of beef. The soup was flavorful. It was a lot of noodles so you would definitely be full. I would get this again. Besides the dishes who would be made to order, there is also a cooked food area where you could select the dishes to go with your rice. While the mall closes at 6 pm, this stall closes at 7 pm. Tuesday is their day off. Parking is available at the mall.
Review is for chicken nuggets only - this was the juiciest popcorn chicken I've ever had. Great flavor in the batter as well. A little bit of spicy powder on top. The pieces were big and meaty.
Second time visiting, we ordered the fried chicken, shrimp balls, beef noodle soup and a side of veggies Taste 1/1* Almost all dishes were amazing, with the exception of beef noodle soup, which came highly recommended, it was just too sweet for our taste, and noodles turned soft 5 minutes in If you get the bentos, make sure to get the peas and Bambi shoots as sides, simply delicious Value 0.5/1* $15-$17 for bento that feeds two, what a good deal! Service 1/1* Fast and very friendly Cleanliness 1/1* As clean as food court gets Overall/Revisit 1/1* Will definitely be back third, fourth and many more times Paying for ambience? 0/-1* NO Above and beyond? 0/+1* NO
Solid Taiwanese food! Ordered the minced pork and marinated egg over rice - decent portion, flavorful, and quite filling. Hubs ordered the assorted meat over noodles, and this was tasty as well. Good portion of meat to rice/noodles. Food was ready in about 10 minutes after placing our order.
I'm Taiwanese and grew up with this type of food at home. With covid still amongst us, this is a nice dish that transports me back to my mom and grandma's home cooking. I bought the zhajiangmian for lunch, and went back again on the same day to buy my dinner. The auntie working there was very warm also. It's a cash only place, and I didn't have enough change. The auntie let me buy the food I wanted anyways ($0.25 difference). Definitely going back if I'm in the area!
Chef Liu Kitchen - Public market I've been impressed every time I come to this stall. Even though the storefront looks rather ghetto, and food sometimes comes out slow, the quality and freshness of the items there is surprisingly good. Recently, I tried the fried pork chop noodles. Because they ran out of their famous beef noodles. The pork chop is flavourful and crunchy, the meat is tender and the noodles have a decent texture as well. For a food court stall, foodwise, I can't imagine it being much better than this. One thing to note about this place though...Since it's probably a small family own business, they kinda work as they please. I don't know their exact hours, but they are not always open when the mall is open, and even when they are, they often run out of their signature beef noodles. So be prepared to try something different if you want to try this stall. Food 10 Service 8 Ambiance 6 Value 9
This little vendor recently upped all of their prices. This didn't drive me away as I still love the food here. I would come here for Taiwanese food whenever I got a craving. Like I've mentioned before, their side dishes that come with the combo are much better than what you'd get at Taiwanese restaurants. My absolute favorite is the tofu. It's essentially ma po tofu and can basically be an entrée on its own. My husband and I decided to go out for a quick bite today before going for groceries. First we went somewhere to grab my congee before coming here to order more food. Tonight we got the marinated intestines and Kung pao chicken combo. The intestines were kind of pricey - $6.50. They were also a little hard to chew. The major disappointment today was the kung pao chicken combo. The portion was absolutely puny. The meat, rice and the three side dishes were much much less than what we'd usually get. The chicken itself was mediocre. It was too dry and not tasty. The side dishes were still delicious but just way too little. This place usually earns a 4/5 stars in my mind every time I go; however, tonight I was very disappointed. If it wasn't for the yummy side dishes, I would've given them a 2 star. I really hope they redeem themselves the next time I go again.
We love going to Richmond Public Markets as there's a lot of options for food. I personally keep on coming back to Chef Lui, even with the other options. Their chicken nuggets are great and comes in a big portion. Their Beef Noodle Soup is always on point. If you don't want noodle soup, try their beef stew. Its pretty much nearly the same thing but more veggies and seperated. All rice combos come with 3 side toppings on the rice. I always get the tomatoes and egg and cabbage. Tip: If you eat there, make sure you ask for the free tea. It's delicious.
The food court in Richmond Public Market can seem intimidating when you see the various stalls lined up with almost no English to be heard, but don't let that deter you. I've eaten here before and today I was craving some Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and the place to go was Chef Liu for their #1. For $13 it's a generous size bowl, but you think WTH it's a basic food court so shouldn't it be cheaper? Relax! Once the soup comes out and you take that first whiff of the Intoxicating aroma followed by a spoonful of the broth, all will be forgotten! They spoon a generous amount of fresh garlic and a fresh tomato slice into the broth and when you mix it all up, it just works! There is a hint of heat in the aftertaste of the soup to wake up the tastebuds and the beef....the beef is oh so tender melt in your mouth packed full of flavor beef! I should have ordered extra beef with my soup (not sure if it was an option but dammit, it should be!) I've eaten at Tin Dai Fung in Seattle and this soup compares with that one on all levels but without the atmosphere and price tag. If you just want a great bowl of flavorful soup, look no further!

Today I felt like attempting some original flavour from Taiwan. I went directly to this stall indicating that they served original beef soup in Taiwanese style. Without hesitation, I just ordered the first item. I was surprised by my determination like I was possessed. The beef soup took 10 minutes and it didn't disappoint. The soup was thick and full of flavour out of the bone marrow. The noodles tasted so fresh like they just made out of fresh flour in the back. The beef briskets were elastic and melted when chewed, balancing fat with meat. It was delicious! I arrived on a Thursday early afternoon ~ 3pm, the ambiance was very pleasant not a lot of noise. What could I say? I had a lovely meal time, no rush no hurry, just me and the noodle soup. read more

We got the fried chicken nugget box. You get to choose 3 sides to go on top of your box. We got shredded potatoes, cabbage and mapo tofu. All the sides are vegetarian which is great to make it healthy. They gave us a lot of fried chicken but I felt like the flavour not spot on. It didn't have any basil flavour. I wouldn't get this combo again read more
Checked out Chef Liu Kitchen as one of the many stops at Richmond Public Market -- there's seriously so much value food packed into one place! Chef Liu Kitchen serves truly authentic Chinese comfort dishes with generous portions that make you feel right at home. There wasn't any line when we went, and service was friendly and efficient. - Deep Fried Chicken Filet (香雞排) -- $8.50 CAD -- absolutely delicious! Probably some of the best I've had -- super crispy skin with incredibly juicy chicken inside, topped with a sprinkle of red chili powder that added the perfect fiery kick Our chicken filet came out hot and fresh in just a few minutes. There's a decent amount of seating throughout the Richmond Public Market, though it can get busy around meal times making for a busy food court ambience. Chef Liu Kitchen also serves other classic Taiwanese dishes -- I'll definitely be back to try their beef noodle soup next time! read more

I put this in the Richmond Public Market but it needs its own place. Taiwanese Beef Soup is what it's all about for me my Niece who joins me likes the tea boiled egg and stuff on rice for $3.99 my soup is a bit more but inexpensive. read more

Pretty good value, as expected w/ fast food in a public market setting, but actually tasty too. Ordered the beef brisket, thick noodles Taiwanese style, good broth, some good action w/ the preserved pickles, and a slice of tomato to boot. Chopped onions too. Fried chicken good too, so for $2.50 more, you get the combo w/ rice, and minced pork w/ black bean, it's comfort food too. Look at this size! Both meals for under $15, enough for leftovers.

One of my favourite places for a quick bowl of noodles. I think they make one of the best Taiwanese beef noodles in Richmond. They reward loyalty with stamp cards. 12 stamps for free noodles! I usually get the popcorn chicken noodles. Comes with a healthy serving of chicken, bok choy and a slice of tomato. I suggest opting for non-spicy, their spices are laced with MSG and I've walked away dizzy before. read more
