    Wuntun noodle
    Edward T.

    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

    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.

    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.

    best meal ever.

    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

    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.

    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

    CASH ONLY! A friend highly recommended this restaurant especially for their wonton noodle soup. My boyfriend and I were already super full, but we had to make our way here as it was highly recommended LOL. It's located on the corner of the Alexandra Plaza in Richmond. There's a parking lot with ample parking in the area for all the other restaurants. I got the Supreme Wonton Noodle Soup. I was wondering what the difference was between that and the House Special Wonton Soup in which the waitress informed me that one had noodles (the one I chose) and the other didn't. Definitely wanted noodles in mine LOL. The order came out FAST. The meal looked really small (peep at pic) but was at the same time, quite filling. The broth was a nostalgic wonton soup that I really enjoyed! It gave me very Hong Kong style vibes with a deep flavor that was very addicting. There might have been some MSG (not a lot as I didn't need to finish my water) but that really made the entire dish sooo good. The wontons were delicious! They were nicely "wrapped and sealed" that it didn't give too much of a looseness nor tightness in the meat. Making wontons are quite challenging as I tried it once, and the meat was waayyy too tight inside the wrappers. LOL. The noodles were yellow noodles and cooked to al dente which I really liked. My boyfriend got the Lo Mein with Shrimp & Pork Dumplings. His had a broth on the side which he got to enjoy after eating his dry noodles which were exactly like mine but without broth. The shrimp and pork dumplings were also delicious! So much flavor in them too! Definitely will be back for more comfort wonton noodle soup in the future! I would love to try their braised beef brisket with the wontons next time. This restaurant reminds me of a similar restaurant in Chinatown Seattle: Mike's Noodle House. Same noodles, similar broth styles, and wontons! Very happy that we have something similar in Washington!

    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.

Not sure if it has been the same chef/cook on Saturdays during breakfast and lunch time but the food hasn't been as tasty when compared to weekdays. Today we went for a family lunch gathering on a Saturday and the restaurant was jam packed. Not sure if this was also a factor but every single dish we ordered was so greasy. We also noticed that the portion wasn't as big as what we usually received on weekdays. The complementary soup that came was lukewarm so that was already one point off. The dishes when served were not presented nicely. For example, there was food hanging off the plate and pot (they eventually fell to floor) or spilled sauce on the table. Even my favorite dish stir fried beef rice noodles was just mediocre today. We ordered 6 dishes and every single dish was salty and greasy. It really felt like they were made in haste. It was overall a disappointment and I don't think I'd want to visit the restaurant on a Saturday again.

Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers!
