Southeast Asian (Malaysian?) food stall in the Pacific Plaza food court. The food court is fairly small. Wasn't too crowded when we went, but Gee! was doing decent business. They are pretty well known for their lobster laksa, which is $19 on its own. We ended getting the combo that included curry chicken rice, curry fish balls, roti, a soda and a milk tea for $39. The fish balls and curry chicken rice were pretty standard. The chicken has a slight spiciness to it. They do give plenty of rice. Now for the star attraction, the lobster laksa comes with a whole lobster tail. It's a pretty small lobster tail that was a bit salty. Certainly not the best lobster tail I've ever had, but at this price point it's rare to get a lobster tail. The laksa itself was quite good. Really like the soup, which as not super thick but it was creamy, sweet and flavorful. Noodles and the fish cake inside were decent. Overall, it's a good amount of food and decent deal for the price. read more

I came to Taikoo food court around 530 and a lot of what i wanted to eat was sold out. Therefore, I opted for the standard laksa. At $14, i thought the laksa was pretty meh. It came with 4 prawns, a small sliced boiled egg, some tofu(?) thingy and bean sprouts. The noodle consists of a mix of vermicelli and round noodles. The major disappointment was that the soup was neither thick nor flavorful. It was watery and as if the vendor cheaped out on adding a teeny bit more sauce. Also, the portion was not very generous. Usually when i order from other restaurants and vendors, the dish would come with other toppings such as fish balls and tofu puff, plus the portion was a bit more. This was my third time trying this vendor after a long time as i was also not impressed by previous visits. I don't think I'll ever go back again. This is more of a 2.5 stars experience. read more

Malaysian place in the Pacific Plaza food court. Looks like this counter has been around for a while. Parking is available in the mall parkade. Staff are friendly. Booth is run by 1 guy. As the place looked Malaysian, I decided to try the beef rib laksa. There are several variants (basically different types of meat available). This place uses vermicelli instead of egg noodles. Overall not bad. The beef ribs were basically 2 large chunks of meat, with the bones attached. Served with half a boiled egg, some tofu puffs and fish cake, and some basil leaves. Nothing special but the dish did hit the spot. I'd come back. read more

The lobster Laksa is special. But I'm all honesty, the soup was good but not as concentrate and thick. Flavor is good. And 8 really like the two kind of rice noodle they used. Limited quantity. I ordered the curry beef stew and liked it as well. But if they deep fried their potatoes than boil in water, I think it'll taste much better (惹味). The service was friendly. As a good court store, can't expect much ambiance read more

We had the lobster laksa with lai fen and vermicelli tonight plus the curry chicken. We didn't get overly thirsty so either no MSG or none at all unlike most Malaysian restaurants in the city. Nice flavour laksa broth. Curry chicken was nice. Chicken was tender. Beef rendang was sold out so, to try next time. read more

Lunch Lobster Laksa $16 This restaurant name tells you the rating. It is located in the food court at Pacific Plaza in Richmond. @geetastegood ! They are busy cooking in the kitchen all the time so remember to ring the bell to get their attention. I have waited for only less than 10 mins for the food. The Lobster Laksa consists of lobster tails, sliced eggs, fish cake, tofu puff, bean sprouts, vermicelli and laksa rice noodles, served in coconut milk spicy soup. It would be better if they can separate the lobster meat from the shell before cooking. It will be easier to enjoy the lobster meat. The soup is kind of oily due to the spicy oil so you have to stir the soup.

This is the OG!!!! and how I fell in love with Southeast Asian food. They serve your standard Indonesian fare. I would come here as a kid in between classes and the couple who ran it were so sweet and kind- they always gave me free jajan pasar. I went back recently after over a decade and now their kids have taken over. I got to say hi to grandma who after 30 years, finally retired. This humble little shop has fed so many in the community over the years and is an integral part of many peoples' memories. read more

Absolutely love this place! Didn't know there was this hidden gem food court in Richmond. With most serving East Asian cuisines, it was a pleasant surprise to see a restaurant serving Southeast Asian food. Gee has a wide variety of foods from Laksa, curries and fried noodles -- mostly offered in an Indonesian style. I ordered the lobster laksa and the beef rendang and was quite pleased with both. The beef rendang was very authentic, tasted excellent and had the perfect balance of crunchy texture and savoury flavours. The Lobster laksa was good and the spicy coconut milk had a good taste but not as authentic as the rendang. I would probably try the shrimp laksa next time as a go-to dish. Overall, very good meal from a food court and would recommend coming here if you are in the neighbourhood. I will be back to try the kweitiau goreng (fried noodle) and the kari ayam (curry chicken rice)! read more

Tried the Lobster Laksa after watching a YouTube review. Soup was flavorful along with the bits they added. Like another reviewer stated, I like how they used 2 different sized rice noodles. Giving it a 3-star because I find it expensive ($19) for a food court item since the tail is tiny; more like a large crawfish. I didn't know you can harvest tails under 4 ounces. read more

Overall we quite enjoyed all our takeout from Gee Taste Good. All the dishes were under $10 each and was a decent meal for take out! We ordered Nasi Goreng + Roti Canai + Beef Rendang + Casava Coconut Cake. And it all came under $20 with very decent portions. Nasi Goreng was a favourite! It had a nice chewy texture in the rice that reminded me of Chinese sticky rice! The Beef Rendang was very flavourful too. I would recommend skipping the roti because it just wasn't the same add the fluffy ones you get at the restaurants. The Casava cake was neat to try. It was a chewy Tapioca like cake that has a cane scar taste. Read great things about their laksa too and would have to hit them up again next time! Really worth a visit and a great way to support a small family run business! If you plan to visit it is a bit hidden on the second floor of the building's food court! read more

Hidden gem in the pacific plaza food court. Good flavour decent portion however it's getting more expensive. I would still come here for the laksa though if I don't feel like driving to far cause this place is close to my home. Friendly owner and their green coconut pudding dessert is good. Sometimes she runs out very quickly. I usually get the shrimp laksa and comes with tofu puffs, egg, and fish balls sliced. It's located in a smaller food court than usual and it's hard to find first time. It's worth it though and the spicy is very hot/flavourful. I would recommend mild if you are not in to spicy. Good place for a quick lunch and decent value! read more

Gee! Taste Good - Shrimp Laksa - Indonesian Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I went there just before christmas 2021, the service was good and quick. For three people, we ordered Hainan chicken, beef randang, and lobster laksa. All the food were good, I like the Hainan Chicken the most, the meat is tender and done just right and the taste is perfect. The lobster laksa is also a favourite, who would have thought of having lobster at a food court? It is well worth the money, but still a bit too pricey for my budget. Of the three dishes, the Beef Randang is the least impressive, the taste is a bit too heavy, but it is just my personal preference. read more

- Gee! The laksa is dancing in my mouth - I am not a laksa fan usually but laksa in Gee Taste Good made me shouted, "GEEEEE!! It TASTEs so GOOD!" Gee! Taste Good is located in a food court in a mall that you don't think people would go. My husband and I found the place when we were looking for a driving school (wish me luck!). Price is good. Sitting area is clean. Shrimp laksa ($8.7: You can choose non spicy or different levels of spicy. Shrimps were fresh and firm. Other ingredients were quite standard: 2 different types of noodles, bean sprout, fried tofu, fish slices and egg. The taste of coconut cream in the soup was so strong. They also provided some homemade belacan sauce which made the soup richer. Curry triangle with beef: fresh made and more crispy than it looked. Inside would be super hot so please be aware of it. It was juicy and delicious. I think I will always want to order this tasty snack whenever I go there. 3 layers milk tea: It looked beautiful and it was a bit sweet comparing with the hong kong style milk tea that I love. Good to have with laksa. Milk tea fact: 3 layers milk tea is a traditional drink in Malaysia. The 3 layers are Malaysian gula melaka (palm sugar syrup), evaporated milk and black tea. I think I will go there every so often. And I am going to buy the homemade belacan sauce for home cooking. read more

Get the beef rendang which is absolutely tender and delicious and fragrant. I ordered the nasi campur which gave a bit of everything - rice with 2 curries and beef/potato ball, peanuts and keropok. I had the beef rendang and the chili/sour chicken. I preferred the beef rendang more than the chicken. The coconut yellow rice was also good though it could have more coconut taste. The gado-gado was ok. The peanut gravy/sauce was spot on and took me back to Indonesia. We also tried the kueh lapis (steamed layer cake) and that was also authentic and nice. read more

Tried the place with the goofy name. I ordered pork satay, roti canai, otak otak and the 3 layer milk tea. I must have been hungry as I started eating and forgot to take a picture first. The pork satay was juicy and had a good amount of peanut sauce slathered on it. It was so tasty, I slurped it all up at the end. First time eating otak otak. It was cooked in a banana leaf and had a texture similar to a home made sausage. It went well with their home made chili and fermented shrimp paste. Not sure if I would order it again since I liked the other items more and want to try other things next time. The roti was nice and light with a crispy exterior. I could have eaten a second one. I asked the server for a spicier curry to dip the roti in and she was happy to oblige. The sweet tea was a nice compliment to all the flavours and textures. It also had an unfamiliar taste to it. As it turns out, it was brown sugar. Anyways, it was different and tasty. This is the best fast food indonesian/malaysian food I have found so far and the prices are right. Lucky I work in Richmond so that I can pop by whenever I get a craving for satay and roti. I also asked about their multi layered dessert which wasn't available. I was kindly told that it takes 6 hours to make and they only make it for custom orders and special occasions like Christmas and New Years. I will be back to try this! read more

Tried the Lobster Laksa and Satay pork after seeing Tim Lee review it on YouTube. Yummy

I was really excited to learn that Gee! Tastes Good had otak-otak and kue lapis (layer egg cake) so I resolved to go. Before going I tried to pre-order the kue lapis but was told the person who normally made it wasn't making it at the moment. I tried to ask when it might be available but the person on the phone wouldn't let me have a word in edgewise and just kept repeating that it wasn't available. Huh. Once I got there I noticed they also had roti canai, and being a sucker for rotis I just had to try it. So I ordered one otak-otak and one roti canai. Roti canai ($2.75) -Flaky on the inside and not bad, but not fluffy. -Curry weak and not very flavourful. -Best part of this is that it's cheap at $2.75. Otak-Otak ($3) -Pretty large portion for $3. -Taste was OK. -What was personally disappointing was that I had hoped for the grilled Singaporean style and hadn't expected it to be the steamed style of otak-otak, and this probably biased my enjoyment of it. -If you've never had it before, it's worth a try. It's like a tender fish ball with a complex flavour of spices. Cassava with Coconut Milk ($1) -Only $1! For a pretty big portion of dessert. -As desserts go it's pretty decent tasting and not too sweet. At $1, this is great value! Friendly staff. They also automatically gave me a cup of tea with my order. Food overall OK but bonus points for service and price for portion. read more

-home cooking in a food court- This place offers a variety of Malaysian/Indonesian style dishes at an incredibly lower price point. This makes up for the fact that it's so hidden. Roti - fluffy and flavourful. Nasi goreng - a mildly spicy fried rice dish. They seem to use quite a lot of shrimp paste (not really sure). It's very good. Shrimp laksa - it's not the spiciest laksa I've had, but it is pretty flavourful. The shrimp is pretty big and it comes with an assortment of other toppings. Not a bad thing to order. Skewers - meet on a stick. It's good. I personally would have preferred the sauce seperate. Has peanuts. Brisket curry - decent entry. Not much else to say. 3 layer milk tea - this was very delicious. It's sweet. But it's worth ordering if you love milk tea. Given the price point and the surprising amount of flavour and portions, this is a pretty amazing spot. Their homemade spicy shrimp paste is also pretty awesome. read more

Hidden gem in Pacific plaza food court . Their Lobster Laksa is along with Rendang Beef is one of our favourite . The lobster laksa must be pre ordered and on my available on Wednesday . Having grown up in Malaysia and Singapore, we are constantly in search for Authentic laksa and rendang beef. This place never fails . They have a more Indonesian slant in their curry taste . So be warned that their rendang beef may not be what you used to if you have not had Indonesian food. To us, their Beef rendang has the richness of spices that you will not find in most rendang beef . Their laksa soup is not heavy work coconut milk, unlike other places . The broth is thinner but the spiciness and flavoring is there . Very good pricing as well unlike other Malaysian Singaporean restaurants . In light of the current global pandemic, small business operators like this couple rely on our support more than ever . Recommend you give this place a try read more

* Gee! Hidden food court treasures * Gee! How did I not know that this food court existed? I thought I had stumbled onto all of the hidden food courts in Richmond. But alas, Gee!, a new one, and with a pleasant surprise of an Indonesian cook that prepares Malaysian food too! Bonus Gee! I eyed a lot of offerings, but it was a cold day, so I settled on the heavily highlighted (it was #1 on the menu!) prawn laksa ($7.50) and he had an extra big picture of it on the photo board. It was fresh prepared and ready in about 5 minutes with a cup of complimentary hot tea. First impression - Gee! what big prawns you have! From the photo you may think it was a small bowl. It wasn't. Those prawns were very big! And Gee!, there were 4 of them! The prawns were nicely prepared, still had some good snap to them, and had been fully and properly cleaned. Gee! Delicious! (Or I suppose I should say, Gee! Taste Good) Stirring up the laksa uncovered two types of rice noodles (thick and thin but no egg noodles), fish cake slices, tofu puffs, bean sprouts, and hard boiled egg slices. I know that some styles have no egg noodles, but I kinda missed those as I like having the variety personally. That said, the rice noodles were nicely cooked with a bit of chew still. The tofu puffs were cut in half to help them soak up the broth, and gave flavour explosions with each bite. The hard boiled egg was slightly past the point I like them cooked - perhaps the yolks hardened a bit more in the very hot broth before I discovered them though. The broth itself was nicely balanced and quite rich. I personally like to have more belachan and laksa leaf flavour to my laksa broth, but that is just a personal preference I suppose, and perhaps a stylistic difference for Indonesian style. All of that said, this was a very satisfying bowl, and Gee! did I mention those prawns?

Neighbourhood favourite at a food court - one of my favourite small restaurants for authentic (and spicy if you want) Indonesian/Malaysian food! Hainanese chicken rice: chicken is juicy and tender and chicken rice is packed with flavour. Prawn laksa: soup is wonderful and rich and they give you the two different types of rice noodles. The soup noodle includes bean curds which absorbs all the wonderful flavours. Different types of Kueh (SEA desserts): include different types of desserts made from pandan, coconut and tapioca. read more

revisited, not as consistent. re ambiance - don't expect a relaxing environment, prefer to sit near the window.

It's in a food court that we never knew existed. We shared the Beef Pandan and Lamb Curry. 7/10 and 7.5/10 respectively. The beef could have been warmer but tender enough. Flavorful. Wasn't quite an eating experience tho. The lamb curry was more enjoyable. More 'stuff' in it, carrots onions... The coconut curry sauce was nice. Both dishes came with a nice shrimp chili paste with little dried fish and peanuts. Goes with both dishes quite well. Nice owners and very friendly. It also the only kiosk in the food court with an English menu. Helpful!!! read more

My friend and I went to look for this place after reading the comments of 4 star rating with great anticipation. The place was inside a food court on the second floor at the Pacific Plaza which is the corner building right at the corner of Cambie and Odlin Crescent. I ordered roti, curried lamb with rice, pork satay and their milk tea totalling to $20. I was amazed at the price My friend ordered their pork satay and prawn laksa. Both of us were disappointed as the food didn't come up to par. The roti was flat and not fluffy, the curried lamb wasn't tasty and watery even with carrots and potatoes in it, the pork satay was just so so and their milk tea was just blah while my friend's laksa was just so so and said she had tasted better ones than what she just had. I really can't understand the 4 star rating they were previously given. read more

No joke, this place is good. The pandang beef was so tender and saturated with spices, an absolute shock as I was eating it. How does this place not have a line around the corner? Oh right, because this is the deadest mall/food court in Richmond. Well actually, the new Aberdeen Place is almost as dead and empty too. Anyway, for this price point at $7-8, this is one of the best dishes you can get in all of metro Vancouver. Genuine southeast asian cuisine. Even just the fish sauce tasted so good. What do they do to it? I felt sorry for all those people allergic to fish sauce. The taste was phenomenal. read more

This is truly gem, in Pacific Plaza 2nd floor "food Court" on Odin Cresent Road in Richmond. It's hidden in the " food court" area ; you look for the "food court" entrance. The owner is so nice, even at the busiest Chinese New Year week, she did her very best to rush my order in a very short notice : I ordered: a cake of Indonesian kueh lapis, 2 dozens each of : ang Gu kueh, kueh Lemper, kueh dada, kueh kachi for me to back home to Seattle. I will give her more notice next time. It's really hard to find Singaporean/Malaysian/Indonesian desserts in Seattle. Several of her clients are from Seattle & Bellevue areas. The singapore Laksa is very authentic n tasty, beef Rendang was very tender and good. Chendol was great! I will definitely go back again and recommend To those that craving for singapore/Malaysian/Indonesian desserts read more

If you are looking for authentic Malaysian/Indonesian food you need to go to Gee! Located on the 3rd floor food court in a huge plaza. The flavor of the food is amazing and has a nice kick to it if you like spicy food. Personally my favorite was the Indonesian fried rice along with an iced milk tea. Pricing was very reasonable for the amount of food that you are getting. If you are around the Aberdeen mall area in Richmond, BC and looking for a quick bite, look no further than a few blocks to this restaurant. read more

I was a loyal customer for Gee Taste for many years since the old couple operatored , now the store was taking over by the daughter and husband . I was there last night around 5: 24 pm and they ran out of the shrimp Laksa so I changed to chicken Laksa and one Indonesia fry rice with a pork Satay plus 1 green cake and 1 half coconut brown cake . Soon I got home I opened the fry rice is only half box ( is it because end of the day No enough rice ? ) and there is NO Satay sauces for the satay ( that is the soul of the satay ! ) and the pork satay was dry and tough ( where is the tenderness ? ) and more worse is the half coconut brown cake was tasted sour on the coconut part.( No wonder on the white top part was crack) I am very disappointed the meal last night , please keep the GOOD food quality , that is the key to keep people come back to you . read more

The Laksa aroma already attracted me a lot once it was served. It also had a rich taste. The shrimps were fresh enough. This is my favourite and I believe a must-try here. We also ordered the Padang beef and curry beef, which were both soft and well-flavoured. There are some special desert that were new to me, should be kind of traditional food. They were not too sweet for me and is good as an after-dish snack. I tried the 3-colored milk tea which you really see 3 colors in it and after mixing, you'll taste the nice palm sugar inside. I feel delighted discovering this restaurant and i will definitely visit it again! read more
