The creepy heads watch you as you walk by.
Angela K.

This mall was a dump in the 90's and its even more of a dump now. I'm pretty sure the only reason people come here is for the big box stores they have, like Best Buy and Winners. Otherwise its just a bunch of bizarre stores that have no customers. Like the stand in the middle of the mall with all the 80's mannequin heads. What are they selling, wigs or hats? I'm too creeped out to ask.

Many years here and we loved this place. Toys R Us is still alive here unlike in the US. Full of Asians and strategic location. Cantonese and Mandarin are common while English is minority here. You can pretty much do everything here and it's got pretty much everything you need here. Not the best place to hangout for youngsters, I think. But it is still good to walk around here and meet up with friends at the restaurants at the entrance of this mall, which is what most young people do here.

First time come to richmond carnival, compare to PNE it's very pricy, suggest you to get the wrist bands if you love the rides, since it cost at least 4 tokens for each, and you need to spend $45 for 40 tokens. The good thing is that adults don't have to pay if they don't want to join the ride, also the height requirement for kids to do rides is lower compare to PNE, so the little kids it's more fun.

Nice shopping center next to No 3 Rd and across from Four Points hotel, this place has shops and restaurants that you will enjoy. There are great Chinese restaurants and shops. Plenty of delicious food. Recommended if you are in Richmond for the first time.

This is another mall on the Canada line I like to stop at. It's one stop past Aberdeen if you are on your way to Richmond Brighouse. It is also not a super large mall, but it does have a Target, Winners, Jysk, Home Sense, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Home Outfitters, Future Shop and Sleep Country. It also has many small shops as well as restaurants and food court, and many service shops. I like the Ardenes in this mall. It's more of an outlet as everything there is on sale up to 80% off. They also have accessories 3/10$ 5/10$ and 10/10$ so if your looking for stocking stuffers or inexpensive grab bag items or even secret Santa gifts, it'd a great place to go. I also like the Dollarrama here for battery's Plastic containers, and a variety of other things all priced at under 3$. So if your looking to do some bargain shopping or need housewares or electronics this is a great one stop destination.

Old shopping centre. Has to be one of the oldest centres on Vancouver. But developers do have plans to renovate this large piece of property in the future. Lansdowne still has its charm for a shopping mall. But it definitely is aging. Lots of different kinds of shops here and the food court was renovated and updated probably about a decade ago now. Still come here because they've got some major tenants still like Best Buy. A decent mall still. But definitely not up to the standards of most other malls in the city. Worth a visit still before they tear it all down.

This mall has been around forever. Many stores have come and gone from here. In the 1980s (back when it was Lansdowne Mall) it was the glory days. The anchor tenant was Safeway (where Best Buy is now), and I remember begging my parents to let me come here to buy computer goodies. In the 1990s they opened up a Computer City (where Future Shop is now). Unfortunately, the opening of the "new" Richmond Centre (they underwent a major renovation) in the mid 90s started a horrible decline in this place. By 2000, this place was pretty much dead. Fortunately, they managed to revise this place with Best Buy, Future Shop, Zellers, and Toys R Us. The mall is quite spacious, and it actually is pretty decent nowadays. With that said, everyone I know that comes here is here either to buy electronics, or eat, which may not be a good thing. However, the restaurants here are quite decent, ranging from the food court to #9 to Kyung Bok Palace to Gingeri. One thing I really like is that I can always take a breather in one of the 2 large circular atrium areas. Sometimes they have shows, or the occasional merry-go-round, but most of the time it's just a nice area to feel like you're outside. Parking is never a problem here. Their lot is freaking HUGE.

I probably should have taken up their invite for some local flavor but I was more interested in what I do best...eating...

Seriously, this mall needs to get some good anchor stores in if it wants to stay viable. Either that, or turn the entire place into a giant mall filled only with restaurants. It was by my hotel and with the typical Vancouverite flair for a decent quality of life, closed by the time I checked in to my hotel at 6:30 pm. The next morning, I went to the mall before 10 am and lo and was surprised to find that the hours on Sunday were 11 AM! Can someone offer me a job in Vancouver so I can move there! Life sure is good. At that time, only a sensei and several ladies were around doing Tai Chi with some tassel thing. They invited me but I was no in no mood to fling tassels around; my mission was to secure some of that fabled Richmond dim sum and roamed around, going back to the then mostly empty Gingeri Restaurant. I wandered around the space for a quick browse after having dim sum at Gingeri, saw that some gaming exhibit had been set up, attracting quite a crowd. Apart from that, life doesn't seem to exist in this mall. I can't even remember most of the smaller retailers and only remember Best Buy because I considered exiting through it. The high point of this mall for me was dim sum at Gingeri, which got quite busy at 10:30 Am and the Langley Market, which has fresh produce, cakes and all sorts of Asian groceries. It's nice to be able to get fresh fruit when on the road. But the mall model here needs a serious makeover as far as stores to attract people. Landsdowne seems to be a place of huge dollar stores and restaurants. Richmond station has the higher end malls and Aberdeen has the huge supermarkets Yaohan and H Mart. So maybe this mall needs some larger fashion discounters. Either that, or build some museum or garden on the premises. There is nothing sadder than an empty mall on a weekend.

For such a huge mall, this shopping centre is so quiet, even on weekends.

i love visiting aberdeen centre, especially during lunar new year, and this year, the year of the…read morefire horse, the atmosphere feels especially fitting. bold. vibrant. and just dramatic enough to be fun. the parking lot though, is a whole other story. slow laps, strategic patience, and the quiet hope that someone is actually leaving. when brake lights flash, you quickly signal and ease into a spot, it feels like a small personal victory. fitting for a fire horse year. inside, the tension disappears. the atrium opens bright and welcoming, warm white lights cascading down. red lanterns line the second level in formation, fairy lights tracing the railings. red against gold. shimmer against polished tile. at the centre, cherry blossom trees frame a vivid red backdrop. two lion dance heads rest at the edge of the stage, alert and expressive, as if ready to spring to life at any moment. friends and families move in easy rhythm. it is busy, but not chaotic. lively, but warm. vendors line the walkways with red envelopes, tassels, lucky charms, and gleaming ornaments. conversations drift between tables as families debate which decoration might bring the most luck for the year ahead. tucked among it all, a lego pop up draws a steady line. bright red bricks categorized by size, sorted neatly, an intricate lego dragon display standing guard. kids build instinctively, and with full concentration. parents "supervise" while quietly contributing a few extra pieces for structural integrity. we wander upstairs, pause along the railing, take it all in. and almost without fail, every visit ends the same way: the food court. because no matter how stunning the decor, no matter how many photos we take, it never feels complete without drinks in hand and snacks on the table or to go.

CF Richmond Centre feels like a teenager who hit a growth spurt too early and never quite figured…read moreout what to do afterwards.  Sure, it's got the Apple Store gleaming aspirational techheads, a handful of designer storefronts trying their best to look worldly, and a food court upstairs that--on paper--should be a damn good reason to linger. It's polished, modern, almost smug in its stainless-steel confidence. And yet... you walk through on what should be a busy day, and the silence hangs around your ankles like fog at dawn.  There's an emptiness here, a kind of mall ennui, as if the place is waiting for someone--anyone--to decide what it's supposed to be when it grows up.  Are you going to be high fashion and chic or will you be another bargain mall? Meanwhile, just across the way, McArthurGlen is sucking up all the oxygen like the loud, flashy cousin who shows up at the family reunion with new teeth, discount luxury, and a better Instagram account.  That's the place people actually go--destination shopping, outlet energy, crowds spilling out of every corridor. CF Richmond? It becomes the afterthought, the "well, we're already in the area so maybe we'll swing by" mall. The mall equivalent of a consolation prize - maybe the pageant winner will retire and CF-R can have a chance to reign like a real mall... Maybe not. And then there's the parking - OMG!  Years of construction, half-blocked entrances, the slow-motion nightmare of circling levels like a frustrated shark just hoping for a space to open up - that isn't blocked off!  A mall can survive a lot, but it can't survive making people miserable before they've even stepped inside. With The Bay packing up and leaving, the mall loses not just a store but an anchor - literally the ballast that keeps a mall from drifting into irrelevance. They need a heavyweight, something bold, something that makes you say, yeah, okay, I'll deal with the traffic for that. And they need it fast. CF Richmond isn't bad. It's just adrift. A mall with good bones, some shiny pieces, but no heartbeat.  A place that could be great but is stuck in the purgatory between intention and execution. If it wants to matter again, it'll need more than a facelift - it needs to grow up and choose what it wants to be.  Right now, it's just waiting for someone to save the mall. 2.5 stars - take it or leave it.  The Apple Store isn't enough for me to trek there! Meh...
