Chicken and Ham on Spaghetti: ask for the tomato sauce unless you like sour-tasting cream sauce!
Jack W.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Looking for Hong Kong-style food that's good yet fast? This is THE place to go in Richmond! Good food and drinks, good prices, and fast service. Highly recommended for friends and family. === 2. FOOD All meals come with a drink; an extra $1 is required if you choose a cold drink. Definitely a good deal, as the cold drinks otherwise cost $3.50 each. Baked Pork Chop on Rice Slices of pork chop with chunks of tomato baked under tomato sauce on a bed of rice - simply yet so good! Chicken and Ham on Spaghetti Perhaps the only thing I've had that was strange: the chicken is diced up chicken steak and overall it's good, but the cream sauce: does it have a hint of vinegar? It tastes and little sour and highly unusual - I would stick with the tomato sauce dishes. All Day Breakfast I chose chicken steak with two eggs on this day, and it comes with a slice of white Texas toast. For an extra $2, you can get quality instant noodles with it to round out your HK-style breakfast - yum! === 3. SERVICE It's a food court, so the service is good for what it is, in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Importantly, the service is quick for dine-in and takeout orders and they take debit and credit card - one of the few places there that does more than just cash - whew! === 4. ENVIRONMENT For a food court, it's nicer than Parker Place because the tables of four allow you to sit closer together to share dishes or take care of small children (in my case!). Those who want to watch TV programming from Hong Kong can do so on the small TV screens hung from the ceiling. There is room for baby strollers and wheelchairs, but you would best be served sitting at the tables on the outsides...and get someone to help you open any of the exterior doors. Parking is often tough to get unless you get there early in the morning - it's best to try for the ground floor of the parking deck.

Chicken Steak and Egg w/ Rice in House Special Sauce + Hot H.K. Style Milk Tea.
Alex Y.

Was in the area of Admiralty Center and just looking for a simple quick lunch. Counter staff and cooks looked familiar and confirmed they are sister food court vendors of Grill King at Lansdowne Mall. Menu consisted of your typical Hong Kong Café Rice / Pasta, Baked Rice, Sandwiches, and Instant Noodle offerings. Was craving something filling so decided on Chicken Steak, Egg, and Ham with Rice in House Special Sauce (White - Alfredo or Red - Marinara) + Hot H.K. Style Milk Tea. First impression was the portion size was quite small. The chicken steak was pan fried pretty well crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside which complimented well with the white Alfredo sauce. Everything else from the egg, ham, assorted vegetable bits, rice and milk tea was just average. $10 all in, there are better deals within the food court and not consistent with Grill King's reputation of good portion sizes at reasonable prices. Place takes cash only. Due to the pandemic seating is limited so expect to hover around tables until other partons are done before getting a seat. There is plenty of free parking on the upper and lower levels of the mall's parking lot.

First time eating in this mall, much to my surprise, there are tons of variety of foods there. Jimmy's is wonderful. I'll come to eat in this food court again

Finally tried this shop at Admiralty Centre in Richmond! I would say they are 70% alike with Hong Kong style food!! It's good to change my friend's bad impression towards foodcourt What surprised me is that they got at least four tea pots for making the drinks, feels like professional. Overall cost us $23 for all this! It's absolutely a fair price with good quality! Nice try and will go to visit again~

Hands down my favorite food court. They have so many stalls and honestly they are all pretty good. Always a hard time choosing so lets just say I got a lot of food. Feasting today! * Baked Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (Jimmy Tea House) - $12.50 ~ So good I got this to go, and it was so hot even when I got back to my destination. It was super saucy, and delicious with loads of meat sauce. They didn't cheap out on any of the meat sauce and the spaghetti was cooked al dente, and super good once it was all combined and mixed. Super good for food court too! The portion is also generous! 9/10. * Hk Style Milk Tea (Jimmy Tea House) ~ This was so good to wash everything down. It was creamy, and flavorful. Also not too sweet. 8/10. * Definitely come check out this plaza. Some stalls are still cash only, but Jimmy Tea House accepts credit card, and Rice Holic accepts debit. Cant wait to come back next time to get my fix on the other stalls they have here! * Admiralty centre richmond BC.

Satay beef noodles
Stephanie M.

Ordered the baked pork cutlet rice and the beef satay noodles. The pork cutlet rice had lots of pork in it and a lot of rice in it but the flavours weren't to our liking. Wasn't overly salty but just felt like it didn't taste like it was baked. As for the beef satay noodles, we were told to add water when we get home to ensure the noodles don't get bloated in the car ride there. The beef was tender but lacked satay flavour. It was also a little bit on the saltier side. Overall I wouldn't recommend the two dishes that I tried but I would definitely want to try the other items on the menu.

Grilled Chicken And Pork With Spaghetti, Corn, Carrots, Peas, And Green Beans
Josh C.

This was the third Hong Kong Style Cafe that I visited during my time in Vancouver for my trip and it was not good. I visited this restaurant today at lunchtime and it was pretty quiet in the surrounding areas around the restaurant. Also, the service was good when ordering and the staff was very nice. The first thing that I ordered was the Baked Pork Chop With Rice. Unfortunately, the dish had a little amount of cheese, the meat was a little chewy, and the rice was a little mushy. Also, the dish needed more tomato sauce and the tomato sauce needed more flavor. The next thing that I ordered was the Grilled Chicken And Pork With Spaghetti, Corn, Carrots, Peas, Green Beans, And Gravy. Unfortunately, the vegetable texture was a little bad, the gravy needed more flavor, the spaghetti texture needed to be better, and the meat was a little soggy. Furthermore, I put several spoonfuls of gravy on the spaghetti and it did not affect the dish very much. The third thing that I ordered was the Iced Hong Kong Style Milk Tea which needed more sweetness. The last thing that I got was the Hot Hong Kong Style Milk Tea which was a little bitter and needed more sweetness. Unfortunately, it was an underwhelming experience.

In the area and was thirsty, so popped into CHICHA San Chen. No seating so a truly grab and go…read morelittle place. The shop is bright, clean and modern. The staff were helpful, but more smiles would make customer feel more welcome. I saw two fancy brewing machines and saw the tea dripping out so this is a good sign. The prices are a little higher comparted to other bubbles places, but the freshly brewed tea makes it a higher quality of taste. I ordered the Taro Queen and enjoyed, and you can choose the amount of ice and sweetness. Loved sipping to find the taro paste but not alot of tea to drink. Not sure if I come back as there are other options.

Located by the bus loop at Richmond Centre station - easy to find location…read more Store is very clean and bright - geared towards grab and go. Got the bubble volcano made with oat milk - I am fully aware there is no tea in this drink, and the cashier did note that. However the drink was very disappointing - as it was 25% ice, 65% FOAM and probably got like 10% worth of actual drinkable liquid. The Brown sugar taste was good , not overwhelming - however the amount of liquid for the price paid was seriously laughable. - Oat milk does come out of the carton pretty foamy after you shake it, however that doesn't mean you serve a cup of foam. Will not recommend - bubble tea scene is super competitive, especially in Richmond -

I absolutely detest false or misleading marketing. In recent days, a few instagram marketing ads…read morefrom influencers promoted the special for this weekend, supposedly for Father's Day. All ads noted that you'd have to order through the fantuan app. The promotion was $2.99 each for their most popular 3 drinks. So we had a family gathering and I had gathered everyone's order the day before since this was definitely a good deal and i always had relatively positive review for the vendor. My husband arrived and tried to order off the app. It turned out that he was only able to order ONE drink at $2.99 and the rest of the drinks were at regular price. Nowhere and not one influencer even mentioned that customers are only limited to one drink at the promo price. Husband inquired with the staff and they offloaded the responsibility to fantuan, saying that the promotion was whatever that was on the app. Did they not review the accuracy of the marketing posts? Or were the posts simply a walk-in bait? I just felt this was very dishonest. Fantuan had a 40% off deal. So instead of the total order coming to $24, with one promo price and all else at regular, it ended up being $20. In conclusion, we had expected to spend $2.99 per drink but it ended up being $5 per drink. What a scam. My family advised that we shouldn't have proceeded with the order. What's even worst was that all drinks were watered down. I read comments on Instagram and apparently many other customers also felt the same. I'm never going back to such a dishonest vendor. Don't try to blame it on fantuan app when you were the one who invited the influencers to do those media posts.

Lychee jade tea with aloe vera. Not too many places offer aloe Vera as a topping choice anymore in…read moredrinks, so this was a surprising find. I would recommend the shop to cut the aloe Vera a bit smaller, as many pieces kept getting stuck in the straw. However, the flavour of the drink itself was good

A cozy Taiwanese family restaurant serving a nice selection of Taiwanese street food and desserts…read more We came here mainly for dessert and ordered the tofu pudding with yam balls. The tofu pudding was AMAZING - freshly made with a delicate soy milk flavor, silky smooth and melts in your mouth. The yam balls are equally impressive, nice yam flavor with just the right amount of chewiness. I could happily eat this all day!

Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.
