Fish soup with gingko broth
Nancy L.

Haven't been to Deer Garden in awhile and went there recently after repeatedly disappointed by the fish noodle chain at various food courts. We got the fish noodle with gingko broth and the tan tan broth. Both of the broth was richer than its food court competitor and the portion was decent. I was also delighted to see toppings you would not see usually, such as cuttle fish. We also ordered the chicken wings and beef tongue. The chicken wings were very delicious as they were quite crispy. I found the beef tongues to be rather salty and would have enjoyed them if they were grilled a bit more. The milk tea and coffee were a disappointment though. They weren't rich at all and probably tasted much more diluted than a lot of the HK cafes found in food courts. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and the fish noodles were comforting for me especially on a cold rainy day.

#301 House special baked seafood, wild mushrooms, pork chop on rice
Mike T.

Came here based on a friend's recommendation. My friend and I came on a weekday evening. The place was packed and there were no seats left. After a couple minutes of waiting in the waiting area near the front, a table was ready. My friend recommended me a dish from the menu and I got it because it sounded good on the menu. I ordered dish #301. The description of it was House special baked seafood/wild mushrooms/pork chop on rice. It contains cheese. Price was about 18 bucks. The dish was presented on its own casserole dish. It looked really good. Portion was slightly smaller than i imagined though. It had two different sauces on each side. On the right side, it contained scallops, steamed entire baby squid, and imitation crab meat. There were also stir fried mushrooms. The sauce was a creamy white cheese sauce. On the left side, it had orange colored creamy cheese sauce and 2 large slices of breaded pork chop. The bottom of the entire dish had baked rice. Taste wise, i didn't like it and regretted ordering it after the first bite. It needs improvement. I didn't like the taste of the sauces at all. The white sauce didn't have much flavor. The orange cream sauce had a weird cheesy flavor but not in a good way. The breaded pork chop was cooked well and was my favorite ingredient of the dish. Wish they added more of that instead. The rice at the bottom didn't mix well with the sauces, flavor wise. It's just a weird combination to me. As for the seafood, I didn't realize they were adding entire steamed baby squids. The head and tentacles in whole. I don't like squid cooked like that in general. The mushrooms, the crab meat, and the scallops were fine. They really need to change the cream sauces to something with more flavor that elevate the flavors of the ingredients. It also desperately needs some type of spices to liven up the flavors. But the combination of the dish as a whole did not mesh well. It was a strange tasting dish overall. At least the meat were cooked well. I'm still surprised I actually finished the whole dish at the end. I ordered a cup of cold lemon iced tea for $1.25 as well. It was tasty. No free refills though. Staff were friendly for the most part. They apologized when they accidentally dropped dishes in front of us. They thanked us for coming when I left the restaurant. They give free chili sauce paste if you ask for it. Wait time didn't take too long as we waited 12-15 minutes for 3 dishes. As a side note, Deer Garden also sells highly customizable hot noodle soup. My friend ordered their soup and really liked it. Next time I will try their soups. 2 out of 5 stars mostly because on the unpleasant food I ordered. Especially at 18 bucks, i expected a dish that's tastier and bigger. Please do not get dish #301 House special baked seafood for the reasons mentioned above. Next time I'll pick some of the recommendations by other Yelpers.

Thai Tom Yum Goong Soup With fish puff
Ben C.

Great concept! You choose your soup, noodles, and 2 items, plus it includes a hot drink. My favorite is still the Malay Laksa Soup, but in this photo, I tried the Peanut Sauce and Chili Soup--it was pretty good too. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean. Definitely a great spot for noodle soup!

The noodle soup here is so delicious. I loved being able to customize what was in my bowl (soup base, meat and veggies, and type of noodle). The tomato and pumpkin soup also comes with mushrooms, bean curd, cabbage, and cilantro/ green onion. They also have so many add on side dishes- the veggie spring rolls are excellent. This lunch special also comes with your choice of hot drink- I got milk tea and coffee mix. All in all, super tasty food, at a super affordable price. This is always a must for me when I visit the area!!

Coriander & century egg fish soup (no MSG), with diced pork jowl meat and sliced beef brisket. Hot milk tea.
Suanne L.

A great spot for a quick and easy meal! I love coming to deer garden whenever I'm feeling for a hearty bowl of noodles. You are free to pick your own soup base, noodles, and toppings depending on what you feel like eating. The price is decent, coming to $13.50 for a pretty large bowl of noodle soup and with a free hot drink (cold drink +$1.00). For a small eater like myself, I can eat it for 2 meals. My personal picks for toppings are the sliced beef brisket and diced pork jowl meat. I also like how there are "free" toppings -- mushrooms, bean curd, and napa cabbage. I don't think you can go wrong with coming to Deer Garden for a quick lunch or dinner. There isn't anything that is too crazy or special about the taste; rather, everything is pretty standard -- but that is one of the reasons that you keep on coming back. When you don't know what to eat, you can't ever go wrong with noodles!

Halibut fish
Tim W.

Brought my friend there today. Have been there many times. This Alexander location is only place that has fresh halibut fish. Very delicious. I pick the original spicy one, because that's the most tasty one. They have non spicy halibut as well

Zach D.

Deer Gardens Alexandra location has a halibut fish set offered on the menu. I had the steamed black bean with chillis and a bowl of fish soup. This set comes with a bowl of steamed rice. 5/5 yelps. Ordered a side of choy sum with oyster sauce. 5/5 yelps. Very tasty!

a bowl of soup with noodles
Carlos P.

They r famous for their halibut soup base noodle soup. They offer different variations of flavours of soup and toppings, perfect for fall/winter days. Restaurant is very simple but spacious. Service is pretty good for a hk style cafe. I like their drinks as well. They have happy hours menu which offers even better value than their regular menu items.

soup noodles and some appetizers
Tony J.

A chain for customizable soup noodles. This location is in the second floor of one of the small shopping centers on Alexandra Rd. You can't really see where the restaurant is from the road. The restaurant itself is mid-sized with a main room and some additional seating in the backroom. Doing decent business for Sunday lunch, but not packed when we arrived. Their menu consists of their signature soup noodles, and also some rice combos like curry rice or pork chop rice. They have little order sheets that you mark up to customize your soup noodles. You can pick the noodle type, soup base, and two ingredients for $12. You pay extra for each ingredient beyond the two, and the noodles come with some veggies included. With each noodle you can also order up to two small appetizers for $3.50 each. The chain is known for is fish soup base, so we had one bowl with the fish soup, thin rice noodles with sliced beef and fish. For the other bowl, we had Malaysian laksa soup base, wide rice noodles, with pork neck meat cubes and eggs. We also got chicken wings (3 per serving) and beef tongue for appetizers. The appetizers both tasted pretty good. Between the two noodle soups, I liked the laksa soup better. It was more flavorful and I like the slight spiciness to it. The fish soup base is by no means bad though. The soup noodles are served in big bowls, so the portion is pretty good.

I love coming here to eat the noodle soups. They provide lots of good options to put in the soups. The sides are also very tasty. Their deep-fried fish is done excellently; the fish is still very tender with the outside deep-fried layer being very crispy. Their ginger-fried chicken wings are also brilliantly done. Overall, I would definitely recommend Deer Garden Signatures and only this one (the other ones are not as good as the one on Alexandra Street).

Love coming here for some quick noodles especially when it's super good here! And it's not too expensive! I really like their noodles here. * Laksa noodle combo ($13.50) ~ I got the rice noodles with sliced beef brisket and pork neck. The soup base was rich and flavourful and a nice powerful kick! The fillings were a good amount as well. * Deep fried fish fillet ($3.75) ~ I always get this as a side. It's huge and crispy. The inside is soft and juicy and perfectly cooked. I love their tartar sauce they have to pair with it! * Also photographed fish cutlet curry rice combo ($12.75), tomato noodle combo ($13.50), Chicken wing ($3.75), Fish siu mai (3.75). Also cold drink (+$1). * 8/10 ~ love their laksa noodle combination here! Totally always get it whenever IM here! * 7/10 the portion is good for the price some sides weren't worth it I think the worth it item is their noodle combo not anything else. Don't get the chicken wings so not worth the price. Total bill before tip: $54.60 * 10/10 ~ info gathered , temperature check, paper menu, social distanced.

Price/quality (2/4): The quality seemed fine at first. The soup was quite nice (I ordered the one with watercress and almonds) and the toppings that came with the soup were great. However, I ordered some fish slices with my bowl of noodles, and one of them did not taste fresh at all. The other slices were fine though. Service (1/1): Incidentally, they got my order wrong--I ordered fish slices but they gave me fish balls. However, they were happy to correct their mistake free of charge, so I'm not taking a point off here. Would I come here again: Probably--I've always been a fan of Deer Garden, and hopefully there won't be any problems next time.

Curry laksa with rice noodles - The restaurant is located upstairs. It was pretty late and we exhausted, which is probably why it took us a while to find the place. We shared a curry laksa with rice noodles. The laksa broth is really flavorful. probably one of the best laksa I've had in a long time. Rice noodles was cooked just right and it had the bouncy texture but not too stiff. They were generous with the toppings too. Each bowl only come with 2 types of toppings. We chose enoki cuttlefish balls and fish. Extra topping cost money, so that's why we only chose 2. With the portion and price. I think it's very fair. The ladies there were very nice even though we came near their closing hours. It was our last stop in Vancouver before heading back to the state so just wanted to stuff ourselves full before getting on the road. Anyway, I was a bit shocked by how many things on the menu. Though she wasn't very helpful in explaining their menu. I asked, "what's your guys most popular dish here?". The lady said, "all the dishes are popular." So helpful They seems to be more fluent in Cantonese than English. This seem to be a common theme in the area? Overall, the place was clean, service was alright.

So mum wanted to show her appreciation for being her chauffeur taking her around to the doctors…read more She took me out for dimsum and with it being in Richmond there is a plethora of choices. She wanted to go to Kirin. Plenty of parking in the mall. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly. Restaurant was busy but not crazy. This was at 10am on a Thursday. Waiters were attentive. Usual table service was in place. Took our order and food came out at acceptable pace. When we were done, they politely boxed up the leftovers and we paid our bill. So service was on point. The food we ordered came out hot. The staples that I order to test was hargow, suimai and pai gwut(spareribs). All 3 dishes in general were good.....the hargow could have used an extra minute or 2 in the steamer. The suimai was very good. I tasted every ingredient in this dish. Usually it is just a complete mix and you can't discern the different flavors. They tried something different with the cheongfun by adding pieces of Chinese donut to the roll. I personally think it didn't add much to the dish, taste or texture wise. I did like the pea shoots with shrimp. I think it is a good combo. All in all a good dimsum. I also noticed they did not charge us a tea service. The cost of the food is comparable with other restaurants at this level. Yes come on a date or impress business clients/boss or family celebrations.

I have many Chinese friends in Vancouver, and my last visit to Kirin Richmond was in July 2024…read more This time, it was my birthday, and my friends insisted on treating me to Kirin Richmond once again. On a typical Sunday evening, the restaurant is usually fully occupied, but my friend had thoughtfully made a reservation a week in advance, so our table for five was ready upon arrival. As always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with good airflow thanks to the wide-open front entrance facing the parkade. The front desk receptionist greeted us cordially, and we were escorted to a cozy table in a comfortable location -- not too close to the washrooms, which I appreciated. Our meal began with the Kirin Special Assorted Cold Appetizer, followed by Crab Meat, Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw Soup. The soup arrived piping hot and was delicious, with a generous portion that could easily have served eight people. We also enjoyed Pea Tips Braised with Bean Curd and Assorted Mushrooms in Consommé, Marinated Free-Range Crispy Skin Chicken, Fillet of Cod Sautéed with Seasonal Vegetables, and Live Crab in Consommé with Ginger and Green Onion, served with E-fu Noodles. Overall, the quality and taste of every entrée were excellent. Service was top-notch -- tea and hot water were refilled constantly, bones and used plates were replaced promptly, and the servers were friendly and engaging throughout the evening. My friend and his family have apparently been regulars at this location for over two decades, which likely contributed to the exceptional attentiveness we received. However, one aspect of the experience genuinely disturbed me. All servers, including the captains, continued to wear masks at all times. While this practice was understandable two years ago, now -- five years after the onset of the pandemic, with COVID-19 managed similarly to other seasonal respiratory illnesses -- the continued universal masking in a fine-dining environment feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall guest experience. Fine dining, in my view as an avid foodie, is built on human connection, hospitality, and personal interaction. Masks create a more impersonal, almost clinical atmosphere. In a well-ventilated space like this, the environmental risk does not seem to justify the visual and social trade-off. Rather than providing reassurance, the persistent masking may unintentionally signal that the environment is unsafe or that management is out of step with current provincial health guidelines, where masking is now a personal choice rather than a mandate. Final verdict: Food & Service: 5/5 Ambience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 -- as the current aesthetic feels more like a relic of 2020 than a leader in 2026 hospitality.

My family went here for dinner based on its recognition in the Chinese Restaurant Awards (2022),…read moreVancouver Magazine Best Restaurants Awards (2024) and countless Instagram reviews. We made a reservation on OpenTable (which is a rare platform to use among Chinese restaurants in Greater Vancouver). We were seated a few minutes after arrival. The space feels energetic. It's a more modern restaurant, so there is much color and younger vibrancy than a traditional Chinese restaurant. What else is different? No round tables - only smaller square tables - which means it's better designed for small groups rather than large groups. We ended up trying a number of items: - Beef Belly Skewers: Very good. Everyone loved them. I wished we had ordered more. - Chicken Skewers: Ok. I think asked for something but they ran out and gave us gizzards and hearts, which are never good because they become mealy and not enjoyable to eat. - Dungeness Crab with Salty Egg Yolk: Good. Prepared as well as lots of restaurants. They provide disposable gloves to eat with, but nothing to crack the shells. - Stir Fried Vegetables: Good. No complaints. - Fresh Fish with Tofu Hot Pot: Very good. - Fresh Fish Steamed: Very good. - Lobster with Sticky Rice: Very good. Service is really very good. Genuinely more friendly and talkative than I'm accustomed too, but I appreciated. Overall, a good meal. It was different in that the decor and service is what really stood out, and that's the difference maker compared to most other Chinese restaurants with the same quality of food. That being said, you pay for it too. I definitely enjoyed it, but it better suited for a small groups rather than large ones.

What's appealing here is that their Instagram advertises daily specials so you can get some dishes for a great discount (like 40% off). We tried the braised combo (pork ear, pork intestines, fish cake), Taiwanese egg wrap, braised pork sauce rice with deep fried pork chop, and yam taro mochi balls. The braised combo is pretty solid - I didn't really like the funkiness to the intestines (I generally enjoyed it in barbecue settings) but the fish cake was fantastic. I also liked the texture of the pork ears. The Taiwanese egg wrap was a bit tasteless, so I wouldn't recommend. Braised pork sauce rice is the lu ruo fan which is a large portion with seaweed, bean sprouts, and soup on the side. Pork chop was flavorful and juicy but not crispy batter, which is okay. Yam taro mochi balls were sweet and chewy. I don't like taro but I loved this dessert! Service is okay. They give a water jug for self pour but the water jug was of questionable cleanliness. The specials were not discounted so we called it out and we weren't told that we had to put the order with a server, not the QR code, so it was a strange interaction. They ended up honoring the discount. Also, they shut down ordering 1 min before 10:30pm - guess they didn't want more money as we wanted to order 1 more dish and they preemptively told the kitchen to close. Sure it's fine no big deal, it was a lot of food.

Love this place! Despite the limited menu, each item was spot on…read more I had the beef congee, shrimp rice rolls, and donut rice rolls and popcorn chicken. Every was very good. Prices are like food court prices but restaurant quality level. The only thing that needs to be improved is service. For Sunday lunch time service, only 1 server was working the till, taking and serving orders, and grabbing the check. Everything slowed down considerably. You had to get your own napkins, sauce dishes, sauces, chili oil etc. so had to take 1 star away. But the quality of the food was enough to make it a 4 star review. The rice rolls were of the perfect texture. Generous servings too. The popcorn chicken was salty and savoury with friend basil As well. Very nice touch. I would repeat. Cheers! Happy eating!

For this price, you don't expect the best quality, but I think their food exceeds the price point…read more The rice rolls were soft, but I wish they added more sweet soy sauce as it got dry at the end.
