First stop in Richmond and already off to a strong start…read more Saw this cart noodle spot on YouTube and had to check it out--bonus: walking distance from my hotel. Pulled up just after noon and it was packed, but the line at Don Noodle moved pretty quick Ordered the cart noodle with 3 meats (intestines, tripe, and beef) in satay sauce with thick noodles--and wow, that rich, nutty broth hit just right. Also got their famous ginger scallion chicken with rice, and it did NOT disappoint. Super flavorful, comforting, and generous portions all around - great value. Both meals even came with a drink Solid start to my Richmond food crawl Cash only--don't get caught slipping

Some of these shops are ones that you can only find in the 604. Seems to be more of a place where Asian Ma and Pa stores thrive without drama from the rest of the city. There are a lot of herb stores as well as fashion boutiques as well. Every time I step foot in this mall I feel like I am in Hong Kong. I am really feelings the 604 love here. I would come here again if I could. Drawback: If you are looking for good food, please go somewhere else because their food court is limited. Good news is these are foods that you don't see in US Asian shopping centers. The size of this mall is the same as Mustafa Center in Singapore. If you want bigger go somewhere else.

Moreover there is a huge parking for people preferring using their own vehicles. My big favourite is the Shiatsu Massage place, with a walk in clinic. So you can just put your name, do some shopping and then get a relaxing or therapeutic massage. My only minus is the food court, not the best choice of food and can be greasy at time.

The mall itself is currently undergoing renovations as they're expanding it, which is good and I'm…read moresure it will be a lot nicer afterwards. My complaint is about their guest service desk. It now only operates Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is extremely frustrating because what if someone needs help on the other days? I got one of those gift vouchers as a prize to redeem a gift card and on the voucher it said their guest service desk is open Monday to Friday still so I went to try to redeem it but it wasn't possible because it was closed. I went on a Friday then it was closed too, on the day it's supposed to be open and there was a sign to visit their management office and guess what? It was closed too. I called security and then they just said "I don't know when they'll be back they probably went out for their break or lunch. Sorry." So that was the help I got initially. I had to wait a while for someone to help me inside the management office. I can at least say the staff who I interacted with were friendly I just wish they had implemented a better system or had more customer service representatives to help out. Maybe they're just trying to cut people's hours down.

To be honest, we visit each time we're in the area but there's not many stores we would shop at. It's just fun to peruse and window shop here. It is a pretty dated mall but people love it. We tried the food court a few times and the food here is okay but you'll probably do better venturing to eat outside. Overall, a fun place to pass the time and a centre for community.

The food was laid out so picturesque at some stalls as well. Everything was very much made fresh to order as well. The facility itself is fairly clean and the restrooms seem to be serviced regularly. I do wish the entrances smelled less like cigarettes but they can't really control what goes on outside and the way that it wafts inside.

What I wrote close to a legal-adult age gap ago (#1) still largely holds true, with a few notable…read moreexceptions: construction never truly finished as the place is perpetually under it; it no longer resembles what it was for the last decade and is more updated and spacious than ever. In fact, the multi year transformation that its currently undergoing makes it less of a traditional mall and more of a mini city that has spawned into a mixed-use commercial district. Their use of natural lighting all throughout the space makes it an ideal place for a photo in any corner. In addition to the space, many stores have stepped in with a good number that are high-end to appease all of the new money coming into the city of Richmond. It has become a leisurely destination for families and teenagers as folks roam the mall from corner to corner. One of the most significant transformations has been their food court, which has been dubbed the DiningTERRACE and features a number of food and drink spots. The only downside has been the mediocrity of most spots, which has plenty of room for improvement. Parking is also a mess, especially during the weekend. Folks are constantly competing for space and camping out has become a necessity during their busiest times. As many skyscrapers have been built nearby and it's proximity to the metro rail, this place will only serve to be busier as time goes on. ____________ (#1) 18 years has flown by.
