    Authentic Hong Kong Taste in Richmond, BC Dropped by on a rainy day--perfect timing for some comfort food. We shared a few classics: - Wonton & Dumpling Noodle Soup ($16) - bite-sized wontons and dumplings with springy noodles in a flavorful broth. - Pork Liver Congee ($13.25) - silky congee with pork liver cooked to the right consistency. - Taro & Pork Spring Roll ($8.75) - crisp and satisfying. Portions are true Hong Kong style--smaller, so you may want to order a couple of dishes to make it a full meal. Prices lean on the higher side, but the quality is there. Staff were friendly and courteous, which added to the cozy atmosphere. Overall, a great spot to drop in for a quick snack or light meal, especially when you're craving authentic Hong Kong flavors.

    Good is top quality . Service is prompt and courteous . Portions are way too small . You guys won't survive much long term in uber competitive Asian restaurant market Richmond with these portions . Your reputation will carry you only so far . $12-$16 for rice size bowl of Wuntun noodles and beef ain't cutting it .this place is cash only . Lots of parking out front

    Always come here for a bowl of good wonton noodle soup every time we are in Vancouver. The parking situation was much improved this time because customers had to register their license plate numbers. This is definitely an improvement because in the past we always had a hard time finding parking. The restaurant decor is simple and basic, nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. The serving staff was very friendly and efficient. Our party of eight shared some deep fried dace fish balls, claypot rice with pork ribs and black bean sauce, and claypot rice with chicken and Chinese sausage. Each one of us also had a bowl of wonton and dumplings noodle soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. The wontons and dumplings tasted just like those top notch ones in Hong Kong. The noodle and soup quality was also amazing. The dace fish balls and claypot rice were also excellent. Highly recommended!

    Wonton noodles

    This place used to be the reason I'm jealous of people who live in Vancouver because they have access to such authentic wonton noodles. I was a bit disappointed this time around. They are known for their wonton noodles so of course I ordered it. The wonton were appropriately placed at the bottom so the noodles don't get soggy easily. However, although the soup base is better than what we get in the east coast, the 大地魚 aroma was significantly less than what it used to be. The noodles were also a bit overcooked and soggy for my liking. I do like the fact the size of the wonton are normal and not a size of your fist, and I also like that there's also pork in it versus all the ones we have in Toronto are mainly shrimp. However, I feel there were too much peppers in it which overpowered the flavors of the fillings. We went on a Friday for lunch and it wasn't very busy. Service was quick as it should be. Overall, I was disappointed and will probably won't be back.

    Really solid and authentic Cantonese food. Fast service -- feels like this places has been doing this for literally decades. Don't be fooled by its appearance. We also got a side of fried chicken wings -- perfect pairing and meal size for two.

    My friend raved about this place and indeed, they were on point as authentic Hong Kong noodle house. I ordered the brisket dumpling noodle soup.  It is a common humble Chinese dish. The serving was small for Western standards but it was just the right portion for me. Every facet about this dish was outstanding.  The soup was rich with many complex flavors. The noodle had a bounce to it.The meat was tender and flavorful. The dumpling skin and contents were great too. When I come back to Vancouver, must come to this place as top of my list.

    Wonton only with soup
    Mark L.

    This review is based on just wonton. I no longer can recommend the wonton noodle unfortunately. After the pandemic, the noodle texture changed and no longer good like before. Wonton on the other hand still very tasty just like those best wonton in HK. The soup also maintain the quality.

    This restaurant is known for their wonton noodles, which are supposed to be authentic Hong Kong cuisine. It was crowded when we got to the restaurant and we needed to wait for a table. When we eventually got our table, we quickly ordered. Got the wonton noodle soup of course. Unfortunately, the noodles were a tad overcooked for my taste with not enough bounce when bit into. The wontons and the soup itself were nothing to write home about. This was also pricier than a similar sized wonton soup bowl in Toronto.

    Beef brisket and tendon wonton noodle soup
    Brennan T.

    Just great homestyle Chinese food at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant! No frills, nothing fancy. Service is fine and decent for a Chinese restaurant. Some friends introduced me to this place because they love the won ton. I got the beef brisket and tendon wonton noodle soup. The brisket and tendon were tender and flavorful. The wontons were some of the best I've had (though they were hiding under the noodles). Noodles had the perfect bite. We also got gailan and seafood jook/congee. Both were delicious! I'd order everything again and again. Next time I'm in Vancouver, BC, I definitely want to return to Max Noodle House!

    Reminds me of those streetside restaurants in Hong Kong. Home-style Hong Kong food. Nothing fancy, but very authentic. The food won't blow your mind but when you want comfort food, this is a good choice.

    beef brisket and tendon
    Tony J.

    Small Cantonese noodle and congee shop amongst the many eateries on Alexandra Rd. Been here for a long time, and it' a series of restaurants from Hong Kong that's known for their wonton noodles. Very traditional looking interior. Menu is limited to mostly noodles and congee, with some small side dishes and claypot rice. Cash only. Got their signature wonton noodles and a side of beef brisket and tendons. Food was served pretty quickly. The beef tendon and brisket are soft without being too soft, and full flavor. The wontons are not big, but pretty tasty. Noodles are good with a little bit of chew, and soup base is as expected. The taste is very authentic and no complaints there. The portions however are pretty small. For $13.5 you get a six inch bowl of noodles, and the $17 beef comes on a pretty small plate as well. Maybe more akin to traditional HK portions lol, but definitely the smallest bowl of Chinese soup noodles I've had in North America. They do fill up the bowl and plates, but they look so small at first glance. Overall, taste is good but portion is pretty small. I prefer Tsim Chai Noodles for wonton noodles in Richmond.

    Menu as of 12/1/22

We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

Nevertheless, we were glad we tried their dinner. When you tried to do research on the restaurant and could not find any menu or proper working link, you will realize this place emphasizes on words of mouth rather than Online Marketing. I did not find a single non-Chinese customers when we were there and this place was packed! The dining room is bright, clean, and spacious, and even when the restaurant is busy, the atmosphere feels lively rather than chaotic. The staff works hard to keep things moving, and service is friendly and efficient. The food is the real highlight. Everything arrives beautifully prepared, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Their Wagyu beef cubes is a MUST-HAVE. Its the best Wagyu beef I have tasted! We also ordered their Peking Duck. It's not the best I have tried but definitely above average. This order comes in 2 dishes. You wrap the duck skin with thin crepe, and the 2nd dish is basically the diced duck meat wrapped in lettuce. We balanced the protein with Tofu/Broccoli/Mushroom dish. We also ordered Yangzhou fried rice. These dishes alone kept 5 hungry adults satisfied. We struggled to finish every scrap! Yue Restaurant is an excellent choice for groups, families, and anyone craving high‑quality Cantonese cuisine.
