First time checking out Memory Corner for a weekend dinner. Their sister restaurant, Sweet Memory, has great homemade grass jelly. The inside has more seats than you'd expect. Luckily, our group missed the dinner rush so the wait was only 10 minutes. Had to flag down staff for teapot refills, but food came out quickly. Scan the QR code to order. - Dong quai herbal soup with lamb ($18.25) - opted for the glass noodles (thin style) and sliced lamb. Broth was shockingly bland. Wouldn't get again - Taiwanese three-cup stir-fried ($20.75 combo) - combo includes rice, soup and three small side dishes. Chicken was tender and flavourful - Deep fried crispy popcorn chicken egg fried rice ($19.00) - good wok hei. Popcorn chicken was solid Decent Taiwanese eats. 3.5 stars. read more

Cute Taiwanese restaurant with very nice interior decor to reflect Taiwan in the older era. They've spent a lot of effort doing the interior design and decor. Lots of options, most good is deep fried. The batter for the deep fried food is done lightly and perfectly. Winter melon drink available. Decent size portion food. Some meals come with a cute miniature size rice cooker. The rice cooker also for sale. read more

Popcorn chicken not bad. But this was the only beer option they had left. Everything else was sold out. Although perhaps the bc liquor strike affected it, so I'm not sure. But this 3 star review is based on the beef stew someone else ordered. Small in size and lacking in flavour and beef. It's a nice and cute place to just chill. Maybe I should try some other food options, but I was too full. read more

Definitely on the pricey side (ordered Deep Fried Crispy Popcorn Chicken w/ Noodle Soup -$18) given the portion size I got mild spice level and somehow I was dying from both the mala of the noodles and spicy seasoning of the chicken (maybe im just weak LOL) my favourite part though was the ambience! this place has one of the most uniquely designed interiors I've ever seen- really gives the vibe of vintage street style food stalls or something read more

Memory Corner - Deep Fried Crispy Popcorn Chicken w/ Noodle Soup -$18 - Taiwanese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

We spent too much time at Costco...by the time we got to the rest., it was already 2:45 and they close at 3 for lunch. We quickly ordered a bowl of Taiwanese stewed pork on rice + crispy fried boneless chicken. Pork stew on rice(魯肉飯)-- $14.50 Tasty, no bad porky smell from pork used, a decent sized bowl Deep fried chicken pieces( 鹽酥鷄）--$14.50--Crispy with a light batter, boneless all dark meat, a lil on the saltier side, good with beer! There is a variety of Taiwanese beer even lychee and pineapple beer! Highly recommend. Great value for price paid, since they are closing in 15 min., we ordered and paid at the same time. It's mainly like a Japanese izakaya, a lot of varieties in appetizer portions. Big "drinks", fancy tea section for the younger crowd! Polite efficient waitstaff in a warm cozy environment. read more

Honestly, a top place for taiwanese cuisine. During peak times, beware of long waits, and there are plenty of alcohol options here. The inside is a quirky vibe, with plenty of interesting decor, which was cool. I have been here plenty of times, and the quality is very consistent. The number one thing here is the popcorn chicken, it really sets a high bar and is the best I have ever tasted. It is light and crispy on the outside with delicious seasoning and when you bite in, juices flood your mouth and you taste tender chicken. But besides that the reason I gave it four stars and if I could I would have given it four and a half is because a lot of the other food is average this such as the appetizer platter. Great experience it'll still go to spot for popcorn chicken! read more

Memory Corner - Popcorn chicken fried rice - Taiwanese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, this place teleports you into a street in Taiwan with classic eats. I had been craving Taiwanese food and was not disappointed here. Menu is on a QR code, and ordering is done online. We got the popcorn chicken meal, the meat bowl, spicy wontons, and the brick toast. Flavor was authentic for the meat bowl. The popcorn chicken was piping hot and super crispy. Wontons were Szechuan so they had a bit of numbing goodness. The brick toast was warm and soft in the center. Everything hit the spot! It seems they have a lamb hot pot special. Would need to try this next time! I only wish I lived closer. read more

Cozy + fun decorated. Great for introverts , brought to our table then order through your phone using QR code menus. They also have a paper menu if you request. Popcorn chicken with sides was super tasty. Tried a couple different Taiwan beers and were great and loved the mango one. Also had noodle soup and the noodles were really soft. read more

Came here for dinner on a rainy night after work. It's been awhile since we came here. The last time we came only gave me 3-star satisfaction but tonight's dinner was a 5-star for sure. Dishes were seasoned and tasty. It filled us with comfort. Our orders for 3 pax: *DF Crispy Popcorn Chicken Combo: [Included 3 Side Dishes, Rice, Soup] Popcorn chicken is always a must try here. They've perfected this dish - tender inside with crispy outside *3 Cups Stewed Abalone Mushroom w/Rice Oyster mushrooms sautéed in 3cup sauce - never thought this is good. Oh boy it is! *Sesame Oil Chicken w/Angel Hair Ndle w/ Bones This noodle soup is so comforting, a true Taiwanese dish! Deep flavour of ginger sautéed in sesame oil and starkly juxtaposed with the sweetness of red dates was a perfect comfort dish *Pork Floss Egg Rolls Was hesitant to order this dish because I wasn't sure what egg rolls were. Turns out to be green onion pancakes 蔥油餅 rolled with pork floss. How can you go wrong with this. Super delicious. read more

Awesome authentic Taiwanese food. The decor of the place is always so fun and sets the mood really well. Be prepared to line up during prime peak periods. The ordering system is through your phone so it takes a minute to adjust to how to order and the options they provide for each dish. Otherwise, the food comes out fast, and amazing quality and flavors. Their fruit drinks are also really good. read more

This is a Taiwanese place in Richmond and I love the interior design of this place! This is also the restaurant my girlfriend frequents a lot when she used to be in Vancouver, and the food quality has been consistent while prices have significantly increased. Even then, the food total is still a fraction of the cost of dining out in the US so it is still good priced in my books. We walked in around 8pm without a wait and got seated at a 2-top facing the wall. A lot of ambience is removed as a result as we were confined in a side of the restaurant. You scan the QR code to place the order, so we got the popcorn chicken, fried pork chop combo, and shrimp omelet. The popcorn chicken is nicely spiced and decently salted, and it is one of the better ones out there. The fried pork chop is similarly flavorful but with hints of sweetness to it. The combo comes with a large bowl of rice and some vegetables, which are honestly a bit underwhelming but a good addition to round out the meal. The shrimp omelet is interesting as it was super chewy, so it felt more like a glutinous pancake than an omelet that is purely egg and shrimp. Service is fairly hands off as expected for these restaurants, but it would have been nice if they actually refilled the teapot that they served us since we were thirsty. Otherwise, food is great but could be a better experience overall. read more

Very delicious popcorn chicken! One of my favorite places to get popcorn chicken as it was nice and crispy with good flavor

Memory Corner was highly rated on social media so I had to check it out. Everything ordered was very tasty and at a reasonable price. I tried the braised pork over rice, wontons and fried rice. Around dinnertime on a Saturday, there was a wait list and it was about 30 min. There were 2 benches outside or there was a bench inside the restaurant to wait. Besides that, they did such a great job on the interior. It feels very traditional and vintage. Food came out pretty fast too. I would definitely come back to eat here again. read more

Solid spot for Taiwanese food but what makes Memory Corner stand out is the inside decor! Definitely felt like I was transported back to Taiwan as the food was reminiscent and the views were as well. You can order from a QR code and staff will drop food off so it's pretty simple. For those out of country, they offer wifi too! I tried a few dishes and they were all pretty good so you can't go wrong with the items. Also the drinks were delicious. Definitely a go to spot if you're craving Taiwanese food. read more

Taiwanese popcorn chicken is still delicious and probably sets the standard in the area. However, probably won't be coming back based on my most recent visit. Kids love their popcorn chicken so we went mid-day even though we weren't super hungry. Maybe that's where we went wrong. Ordered what I thought was a good amount of food, two orders of the popcorn chicken, one was a combo with soup, rice and 3 side dishes, noodle soup, and a dry noodle dish. Was told that I needed to order another dish even though there was four items and I had a couple young kids in my party of five. Ended up ordering another item to meet their request and then had to take the leftovers with us. They may have some policies in place, but should also have a human element to their approach. We've been coming here for ages, but being so rigid on policy neglects your loyal customers. Just gives me more reason to explore other restaurants in Richmond. read more

Delicious. My family from Taiwan also thought it was delicious. We ordered 9 dishes since all the dishes were street food size to share. Everything was immediately inhaled. The only item we didn't quite like was the beef roll pancake since it had so much butter or oil on the outside which overpowered the dish. Food came out fast. It's a busy restaurant! I highly recommend. I'll be back!! read more

Very good Taiwanese food and bubble tea/slushies. Came here on a Thursday after work. Keep in mind that the close for an hour in the middle of the day (closed between 3pm - 4pm). I was one of the first customers after they opened at 4pm. It was basically just me and this one other table. The atmosphere and decor is interesting. It's like you've stepped into a outside street in China. The random brick pillars, tables, chairs, and metal teapot added to the uniqueness of the restaurant. At first I was lost as to what to do. Apparently you're supposed to scan their barcode on the table and order through that. This was new to me, as Covid is now over, but they still kept several things from that period of time (signs, to markings). Anyways onto the good stuff . . . The food is good. I ordered the friend rice with deep fried chicken nuggets, the deep fried squid tentacles and a lychee slush with coconut jelly. The rice was good, it had a "wok hey" flavour to it, not overly charred but noticable. I'd recommend you mix the chicken into the rice though, as if you eat them both desperately the chicken does have a salty aftertaste to it. The costing on it was good, light and crispy. Same with the squid tentacles. I actually enjoyed the tentacles more then the chicken, even though they seem to be the same coating just with an added spice. The lychee slushy was especially good. I paid $0.75 to add coconut jelly. I don't regret this decision at all. I was basically still chewing on them up to my last sip. Surprising as if you got this any other place, the jelly would have disappeared long ago. I also ordered regular sugar, and it wasn't overly sweet. So I highly recommend the drinks here. Overall, great restaurant. I'll definitely be back to taste more of the menu. I highly recommend you check this place out for yourself if you're into Taiwanese food. read more

Memory Corner - Chicken Fried Rice, Squid Tentacles, Lychee slush with coconut jelly - Taiwanese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Another Taiwanese restaurant gem in Richmond. This place is quite popular so expect a wait during peak mealtime hours. There is only a paper and pen wait list system, and you have to stick around after putting your name down as I was told the employees will skip over your party if you're not at the restaurant when called. It would be nice to have a call back option. Besides that inconvenience, the food was delicious. We ordered the beef brisket and tomato noodles, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, beef rolls, and two set combos. The set combos had quite a bit rice included; my friends ended up sharing one portion of rice together and taking the extra to go. Their menu is quite varied with lots of other dishes that I still want to try. I will be back! read more

Finally made it to this cool funky place for decent Taiwanese food. Interior is nice, reminds you of dining in an outdoor patio in Asia with all of the decorations. Food is solid, a bit premium in price especially for their appetizers compared to their entrees but still okay. Service is good albeit not overly warm and friendly. Only issue is their parking, as the whole immediate area of restaurants and cafes suffer from the worst parking, always busy, usually full, and IMHO annoying and negatively impacts your visit. read more

Fun place! I would come again. There was a long line to get in, but the inside is super well decorated. I love the vibe and food was delicious and filling. read more

Hands down the best Taiwanese spot for a taste of Taiwan and a definite place to try for bubble tea. I literally felt like i travelled to ASIA when i stepped foot in this restaurant. Little to no wait time for a table and food was very generously big portioned and wallet friendly! Service is great, servers could understand and speak no issues at all. Location is also close by a really popular delicious dessert cake place so perhaps that'll be your next stop? Ambiance is a beauty. Very different from what you'll normally see any other bubble tea place. You must try their peppery salt fried chicken nuggets, make it a combo but for me i always pair it with fried rice. And if you're into cute drinks .. try their potted oolong milk tea. It'll really make you think of gardening. So cute! read more

Seemed like the staff was overworked. On a positive, our order was hot and tasted good. The meat (beef short ribs on one order) in the noodles was super fatty. It wasnt a good cut of meat that was served. The noodle portions were small. Small amount of noodles and meat. Wasnt a bad experience...and it wasnt an amazing experience either. read more

Coming into memory corner is like stepping into the alleys of old Taiwan, with it's extensive decoration giving it a very "local" and nostalgic vibe. There aren't too many seats, so on busy days, the wait can be quite long, however it is well worth it. The food is fairly authentic and delicious. The popcorn chicken is their speciality, and definitely lives up to the hype; the skin is very crispy and fluffy in texture with a soft inside. The beef roll and spicy wonton had just the right flavour and nothing seems to be overly greasy or heavy, including the lu ruo fan (which is usually a very heavy dish). Overall, memory corner is an authentic taiwanese restaurant that is quintessential to vancouver's popular asian food scene read more

A new favorite in Richmond. We had the noodle soup with beef brisket and tomato, the 3 cup king oyster, and popcorn chicken. Every dish was delicious. Popcorn chicken is one of the tastiest we have had. We felt so nostalgic from the decor and music. Also they have a kids play area, so its very family friendly. Service was outstanding, although since ordering is all done electronically, we couldn't ask servers for recommendations. We will definitely be back! read more

Very cute rustic interior! This place is known to fill up super fast if you don't get there right at opening, so make sure you plan accordingly or have a member of your party arrive on time. I got the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken set at lunch and i was pleasantly stuffed with all the delicious flavors and surprised at the generous portion sizes. The chicken was deep fried to perfection and the soup was a hearty, herbal starter to get into the meal. The lychee green tea was also very well made. Just a small note that you can't split the bill here. read more

Met a friend for dinner, haven't been there for awhile. I loved the ambiance of this restaurant. They have so many retro items that it brings so many pleasant memories. You order food by QR code & online... they specialize in lamb. We ordered the lamb hotpot as I was checking other tables on what they were ordering. Also order a fried noodles with beef to share. Food was good, no complaints, service was good & attentive. We will be back to try out more dishes. Parking is in a tiny mall, as the evening progresses, it got more crowded. My recommendation is come for an early dinner. read more

Finally tried them at their new location and all i can is , they havent missed a beat. Quality food at affordable prices. One of my top 3 all-time fav taiwanese places to go to. Everything on point. Crispy and juicy chicken nuggets. Nicely battered pork chops complimented by yummy side dishes. Beef stew was awesome. Tender beef chunks with fresh tomatoes. Broth of the hotpot on point with tom yum flavours. Lots of meat and vegs. Absolutely Great value for price. Quantity and quality both present. Service modern and quick. You can order thru the phone. Place is clean and well maintained and decorated. Feel like you are eating in the streets of Taiwan. 5 entrees was under $100. Cant go wrong with that. We left satisfied and full and with thoughts of coming back to sample the other things. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

Came to this place for Taiwanese food, and we didn't get disappointed! The atmosphere/interiors were old traditional Taiwanese style. The menu was a book!

Can't say enough about the popcorn chicken! Best version of this dish that I ever had. Crunchy, salty, and garlicky with a good hit of 5 spice. Crowning glory was the deep fried holy basil. I had the combo, which came with a corn dish (subtle, yet tasty), cold seaweed, a spicy cauliflower dish, rice, and a nice bowl of broth. Simply fantastic, and highly addictive! Also had the 3 cup squid, which was quite delicious as well. But... the chicken! One of the nice things about this place is that thew eschew the standard formica table and florescent lighting in favour of a nice and warm interior design with lots of colour, exposed brick, lanterns, and interesting museum pieces to look at. Makes for a very pleasant dining experience. Ordering is done via QR code, and the kitchen churns it out pretty quickly. Friendly staff as well. This was one of the best Taiwanese style meals I've had in Vancouver! read more

RUDE service, one of the waiters just told me "thank you for coming in with no tip" and im a working student. While also looking, staring, and (most likely) judging how i was eating the food. I guess bring a tip next time future customers.. Food is presentable, and good/ok but i think is very much overpriced. (which is why i couldnt tip, i didnt know tipping was required lol) ambiance is 5 stars. read more

We came on a Saturday. The place was pretty busy at 5pm already. The parking lot was full and hard to get a spot so come early. We had the pork over rice (luroufan) and the fried popcorn chicken (yansuji). The pork was really fatty in a good way and well seasoned but it was missing that pickled veggie to balance the fattiness of the pork. The rice was way too wet. The popcorn chicken was very dry and disappointing. The outside isn't very crispy. The only good part about this dish was the amount of basil they give. Overall- service was pretty non existent which is to be expected. The food was mediocre. I wouldn't go back or recommend it. read more

My daughter and I were out in Richmond and we needed some dinner, so we decided to try Memory Corner. It's a Taiwanese restaurant with all sorts of ornaments and curios that adorn the restaurant, and make you feel as though you are actually in Taiwan. The Chinese Restaurant Awards voted Memory Corner as best Taiwanese restaurant in Vancouver's 20 Best. We weren't extraordinarily hungry so we shared one order of Three Cups Stewed Oil Tofu with Rice, and an Earl Grey Milk Tea. Three Cups Stewed Oil Tofu with Rice: This dish was my choice and definitely not something my daughter would have chosen but she ended up loving this dish. She said if we ever come back to this restaurant she'd like to have an order of this same dish all to herself! Earl Grey Milk Tea: My daughter chose this one. While I've had plenty of Earl Grey throughout my life, this was my first time (and hers as well) having a cold Earl Grey Milk Tea. She made a good choice! The Earl Grey flavor was very pronounced, and the drink was not overly sweet.  There was a pot of free tea on our table as well. I have no idea what kind of tea was inside but it was actually quite good. My daughter's not much of a tea drinker; especially not when it comes to Asian tea...but even she liked the free tea! Service: Could have been better Parking: Free Location: #1110 - 4651 Garden City Rd., Richmond read more

Came here from a friend's recommendation and it's now a new favorite spot! FOOD: 1. Beef noodle tomato soup - 10/10! My favorite item that we ordered. The beef is SO tender and the broth was comforting :) I really enjoyed this dish a lot and actually came back again for this dish. 2. Seafood Crispy fried noodles pot - I liked the broth but honestly I was not a fan of the crispy fried noodles because the texture of the noodles sort of felt like tiny sponges! Definitely something different from the usual noodles and I can see how some people may enjoy it but personally for me it wasn't my favorite. Good broth and seafood though! And very decent portions. 3. Braised pork over rice - This was my parents favorite. The sauce drenches the rice which not a lot of places do this. Most places I've been to have pretty minimal sauce on over their rice so this was delicious because of the sauciness. Pork was also very well braised and delicious! 4. Chili wonton - Decent appetizer! Honestly it had a good kick of spice but it wasn't a flavorful kick if you know what I mean. Wish it could have been a bit more flavorful and savory but still enjoyable! SERVICE: Quick and attentive! We were seated pretty quickly but we also came on a weekday during lunch so maybe that's why. Servers were nice and checked in occasionally. AMBIANCE: 10/10 for the ambiance! It's so so cute! I love the decorations and I love how the inside is made to look like old Taiwan. Gorgeous and makes it fun to eat in! Definitely coming back :) Can't wait to try the other dishes! read more
