Southern Delicacy serves up popular Southern Chinese favourites, and then some. We decided to play it safe this time so just ordered oyster sauce chai siu bao, minced beef congee with fresh-made Chinese donut (oily), and also pan-fried scallop, shrimp and eggs on flat rice noodles. Truly not bad for the prices, comparable to most of Richmond's dim sum places. They do offer seafood and higher-end items to take your dining there to the next level. Good thing Chatime's right next door as a meal is not finished until boba has been devoured ^_^

One-line review: Beautiful venue, pricier fare with mixed results. We visited here for the start of Chinese New Year, having noticed that it had recently opened. We ordered: -Taiwanese chicken appetizer (I liked this fine; fried well, not too oily. But my family thought it tasted 'powdery.') - Malaysian Curry crab (This was the hit of the evening. Beautifully cooked and displayed, succulent, and tasty. But NOT cheap -- see below.) - Wide rice noodles with chicken and satay sauce (This was the loser of the bunch. The chow fun style noodles were way overdone, to the point of being pasty, no texture at all. The supposed satay sauce didn't taste like any satay sauce I've ever had, and the chicken texture was... too soft. Overall, wouldn't ever order this one again.) - Pork and green bean (a bit salty, but tasty) - Chili pepper fish soup (This was good. The right amount of spice for our spice-loving family; fish was tender and soup was well-seasoned.) The big, unwelcome surprise: The delicious crab was quite a bit more expensive than we anticipated. Rookie mistake: we asked about the market pricing and they said $28.99, which we found remarkably economical. Turns out that that is the price /per pound/. Our overall bill for three, including tip, was right at $200 -- a bit high for what we got. I might have given four stars for most of the food and venue, but took off another star for value. You can tell that they're going for a finer dining experience here, but the service was mixed. It was Chinese New Year, but none of the staff wished us a Happy New Year. They never offered tea, and the first hot water they brought us wasn't hot. They didn't bring a crab cracker, crab forks, or plastic gloves for the crab until well-after we had started eating it. On the positive side, they repeatedly asked if we were enjoying our meal, cleared plates promptly, and generally seemed concerned that we were having a good experience. We really should have spoken up about the noodle dish and given them a chance to make it right; I'm guessing the request might have been well-received. On the whole, I'd rate the service adequate. We walked over, as the restaurant is right around the corner from us, but we heard that there was parking in the rear. Otherwise, you're at a meter on the street. Bottom line: Some delicious dishes if you order the right items, but there are some to avoid, and no matter how you slice it, this is not a value pick.

This place is pretty good. We love every dish we had here. They made the lobster noodle I wanted for me. The pork in guava sauce is surprising great even for my Chinese tongue. It is swim in mayo though but the flavor is still wonderful

The Crab
Mario N.

A must try if you are in Vancouver, recommended by a local friend, reservation is highly recommended even on a weekday, they have a few fusion Chinese dishes that you will not find in other places, the crab was excellent, the fish was moist and delicate, the chicken wing was a bomb, must have as appetizer. Prices are very fair, waiters were very attentive. I had an excellent experience and will definitely come back the next time I visit.

It was recently renovated and looks like an upscaled Chinese restaurant. I don't know if it was the symphony-like music they were playing but it seemed quieter than most Chinese restaurants that I've been to even though it was full. The staff were very attentive. There was a good variety of food in the menu. The food we ordered was hot and yummy.

Eggplant with minced pork
Em C.

I learned to stay away from whatever the waitress/waitor recommended that had special deal, so I had a pleasant experience. The food is decently portioned, we ordered 3 dishes and have the portion is good for 3 people. Flabourful but not too salty, I didn't feel super thirsty after the meal. I like the eggplant with minced pork, with little kick of spiciness. This dish is not easy to make at home because it requires a lot of oil. They did a good job. The XO sauce Beef is tender and I like how it's paired with quite some veggie. The yangzhou fried rice is just so so, I would just go with white rice next time. $32-38/person with tax and tips.It's on the pricier side but worth it once in a while. Always better to go in groups of 3 or 4 people for Chinese restaurant to get good variety and you don't have to worry about leftovers.

Beef congee, HK style
Chantelle C.

Super impressed with the quality, how fast food was cooked, and portion sizes. It's the best place for noodle soup or congee in Kerrisdale. We liked it more than Cafe Gloucester (which is also good!), and used to haunt congee noodle house a lot before it closed. Highly recommend. Also a beautiful setting. They took our contact information for COVID contact tracing and lots of room to space out.

Good was great, remember the eggplant was a bit dry but overall you won't be too disappointed. Was slightly pricy for dinner.

The soup was the highlight -- rich, flavorful, and so satisfying that I couldn't stop slurping! The dining area is small but gives off a cozy Japanese vibe. The stools come with built-in storage, which is a thoughtful and convenient touch for keeping your belongings. The seating arrangement is unique, with you sitting directly across from the other person but unable to see each other while eating. Overall, a great spot with delicious ramen.

The guy in front of me, Deng, looked at me with such envy as he cut in line. This place is incredibly popular! Every time I pass by, there's a long queue. Even on rainy days, people are willing to get soaked in the rain just to have a bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen. While you're queuing, the staff will hand out menus. The ordering system is similar to Ichiran Ramen; you can choose the noodle firmness, broth consistency, spiciness, green onions, oil level, and MSG amount . The basic ramen is only $13. I added a soft-boiled egg and pickled cabbage for $2 each. Although the pickled cabbage is really expensive , I can't help it, I'm a pickled cabbage addict! The pickled cabbage paired with the rich tonkotsu broth was refreshing. The broth was flavorful but not greasy, the noodles were chewy and springy, and the portion size was just right. Overall, it's incredibly good value for money; no wonder there's always a queue. After eating, you really get that "Ah~ this is the taste of happiness" feeling

There was a lot of hype around this place when it first opened and i passed by it many times. I…read moredecided to check it out for dinner, mostly to check it off my list of Japanese restaurants to try. As a transit user, It's conveniently located across the street from chinatown stadium skytrain station. I like that it opens a bit later until 10pm so i can go there after an evening movie at international village a 5 minute walk away. There was basically no queue to order so i was able to order as soon as i walked into the restaurant. I told the staff i was a first time customer and asked what was the most popular dish, and they said number 5 which is the nikutama udon. It comes with sweet beef, BK sauce, and onsen eggs on top of thick udon noodles. The braised sweet beef was alright in terms of flavor and it definitely hit the spot. It's by far the best ingredient in the udon. I had never tried onsen eggs before, and I didn't really care for them. It's basically eggs that were cooked slowly at a low temperature. The texture and appearance is unusual in my opinion. i thought the nikutama udon overall was pretty good and it has unique flavors and ingredients. It's not amazing but I can understand why people love the unique BK sauce's flavors. There's not many customization options but you can get the dish served hot or cold, and you can choose to get a regular version or larger version for only $1.50 more. There's apparently a lot of hype around the BK sauce but i didn't find it that great. It has a unique combination of salty, sweet, and smoky flavors. The portion size is a little smaller than i prefer so i'd definitely get the large size. But i think most people will find the regular size just fine. I was able to eat my whole dish within 5-7 minutes and im not a person that wolfs down their meal quickly. Price-wise, the cost of their udon is fair. They are around $12-13. Slightly cheaper than other ramen places. The tempura add-ons are expensive in my opinion but I saw lots of folks buying them anyways. At the time, other ramen places like Kinton Ramen had a $15 set meal, which I thought was a better deal because it came with a special summer drink and gyoza. I wish Marugame's nikutama udon had something like this. Like adding a choice of a couple tempura and a drink for a similar price. The dining area was a little smaller than expected because half of it was closed at the time. But I was still able to find a seat at the counter where i could eat my dish. They don't use a wait staff but it's cafeteria style where you get the food at the counter and bring your dish to the table, and bring it back to the cleaning area yourself. I like that you can get your own water at a tap, napkins, utensils, and cups too instead of asking for them at the counter. The dining area was pretty clean and spacious. Overall, I give Marugame 4 stars out of 5. You should definitely check it out at least once if you are a fan of Japanese udon. Try the nikutama udon with BK sauce and see if you'll like it too.

We were staying at the Marriott around the corner and the reviews were solid and since both Canada (and Vancouver) and India were once British colonies, we figured Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill had to provide a good representation of Indian fare by proxy, right? And it sure was. All four of us were so happy with everything we ordered. I ordered the set menu with mutton curry, rice, daal, raita and some veggies. I love full-flavored things and I love mutton (older lamb) and you can't find it at most places. This curry was amazing. The wife and Son of Tiki Dave ordered Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Tandoori. The girl ordered Chicken Teriyaki. WHAT?? But she loved it. Ambience was lovely; service was excellent. We also ordered two orders of Garlic Naan which was probably too much but delicious. We had LOTS of leftovers and dang it, I made certain to finish them off and did on the way to the airport the next day!

However it is not focused and instead provides a little bit of the region for everyone (Nepal, China, India, Pakistani influences). Came in for lunch on a weekday. Quickly seated and tended to by the staff. Interior is more of a diner scene than nice cafe. Bathrooms are gender neutral and clean but not nice. Here's my three things: 1) I got a lunch special featuring fish peckora, and tandoor chicken. Good flavor but missed on the real spice flavors. Veg salad was sour and worked with the rest of the plate. 2) These folks can make some NAAN! The Naan stole the show. Sweet, salty and crisp. 3) Price wise you can fill up and have a drink for $25-30CAN.

That said I came here wanting soup anyway. Service was curt but pleasant. I got a soup and egg roll combo, but the egg roll was small and bland. Just pass on the combo. The soup was delicious and probably my favorite Chinese beef noodle soup that I've ever had. It was a deep beefy flavor but not greasy or gritty at all (which actually might be a negative for some). The meat had some grisly bits (expected) but was super tender. Noodles were perfectly cooked, not too hard but not too soft.

The gentleman (owner?) greeted us and provided us with some suggestions on their best sellers. During our dining experience, he was a little loud with shouting instructions to the kitchen and we did feel a bit rushed to finish our meal and not occupy the table with diners lining up. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the noodles were prepared well (good texture and not soggy) and the soup had a slight but not overwhelm sour taste from the preserved vegetables. The beef wasn't as tender as it could be, but it wasn't chewy or tough to eat. Prices are reasonable at around $20 after tax and tips. While it wasn't the best or most authentic beef noodle soup I've had, it does hit the spot if I'm craving Taiwanese food downtown or want a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold day.
