Review from Larry L.
1/1/2010 2 Check-ins Here
I enjoy this mall alot. The food court is not as fancy as Aberdeen, and it's more on par with Crystal Mall, but it has better parking and you don't get dizzy going around in circles. It doesn't look like much yeah, but inside there are some cute little shops that have the latest fashions from Japan (or so they say, but not really.) and from Hong Kong.
The food court is what I like. There's a vegetarian place there, a great Taiwanese noodle place at the entrance of the malls food court and there's a couple of those car gadget stores where you can buy air fresheners and Hello Kitty car accessories.
And, like me, if you don't speak Chinese, no problem. Most of the retailers now speak English. That's the coolest thing for me.
I don't feel left out of the loop cause I can't speak the language.
Again, here, if you plan to shop for clothes, they're on the smaller slimmer side of the scale.
Have fun!Listed in: ASIAN SHOPPING CENTRES

Must try the french toast @ Yummy Yummy in the food court. My absolute favourite french toast ever!
I go here when I need to pick up my TVB dramas at the DP Video Store or to kill time when I have no where else to go. There are only a few stores I go to in this mall: DP Video, Sanrio Shop and the music shop in Parker Place 2 near the side entrance on the north. Other than that, there really isn't much to see in the mall. The clothes store look rather all the same except scattered all over the place filling up the mall. Those who go to HK often won't bother walking into those stores because its much cheaper in HK. They overprice everything and its not worth buying anyways. -

Parker Place is just another Asian mall among the masses in the Richmond area. There is nothing discerning about this location, besides Parker Place Meat & BBQ. Beyond that, expect to do your typical shopping here.

Gotta love Asian malls!
Pretty cool mall with a lot of small fashion shops, Car and accessory shops (does anyone else smell moth balls?) herbal shops, a lot of hard-to-find items u don't normally see from other malls and or shops..
The food court is not bad as well Taiwanese, Japanese, Noodles, BBQ dishes, with a sorry excuse for a fountain in the middle that really smells seriously! change the water but oh well. And i know there a lot of comparisons between parker place and Aberdeen mall, but common seriously, Aberdeen is the big Momma of all the Asian malls in Richmond, real talk! ;)
Overall not a bad mall. still looks unorganized and sure the parking can get a little crazy (not gonna say it).... but by all means give this place a try. :)
Oh and can someone please tell me why there's a golden statue in the middle of the parking lot?? -

Parker Place used to be the hipper Asian mall in comparison to Aberdeen, however now that Aberdeen has been renovated it's taken the backseat in terms of grabbing attention.
However don't write it off completely, it still houses some delicious treats in the food court within as well as most of all the original tenants and shops. -

3.5 stars. It is not a bad place but definitely not as nice and clean as Yaohan or Aberdeen. However, we still come here for their food court for some serious cheap eats. One place has crazy breakfast special for like $2-3 that includes a HK milk tea and a bowl of soup noodle or congee, it's insane but we love it. I just love looking and smelling all the wonderful aroma...picking what to eat is always a challenge...so little stomach space but so many choices and food we want to eat.
Hubby loves coming here, actually he loves going any of the malls with these tasty treats. He now understands what I mean when I talk about all the tasty treats growing up in HK...at least some/most. He really enjoys the soup macaroni with spam and an overeasy egg on top...*drool*. -

Don't let the exterior fool you. From the outside, it looks small, but boy... I was wrong. Parking isn't a big problem, I think you park on the roof of the mall if all the parking spaces are gone on the ground.
I didn't expect much at first, but once inside.. I was... err... hmm... HOLY SHIT! There's a lot of shops in here... err... how did they fit all the shops in here... do they have some space time compression technology I'm not aware of? The food court is not as big, but enough to feed me nicely. I do love their HK Style mini egg waffle.
Outside of the building, they have a Thai goddess with 4 faces. Yea... I actually have a pendant that I wore when I was a kid to keep me healthy. I still have it.
Damnit... Let's swap Los Angeles out with Vancouver. Then I can drive to Vancouver in 2 hours from San Diego. Sigh... should I make another 24 hrs. non-stop drive from San Diego to Vancouver again? ... may be I should... hmmm.... may be I should... -

One of the better Asian malls in Richmond. Lots of small boutiques, DVD shops, magazine shops, and the food court. I like the food court here. There's a good variety of eats at very reasonable prices.
The shop at the end of the food court makes the best eggette waffles.
Ma Mei Hong Sing Beef has some excellent pork jerky -- but unfortunately cannot compare to Bee Cheung Hiang in S'pore, HK, Malaysia.
Parker Fresh Meat has some really excellent roast pork.
And Pearl Castle has some pretty decent boba. -

There are lots of small shops and sweets that clutter the inside of this older mall. There aren't any crowds as they seemed to have flocked to Aberdeen instead. Parking is plentiful, and the food courts is like Hong Kong still. I had my first coffee jelly with red bean today. Pretty sweet for $2.50, and it's handmade too.
It's like a cleaner Asian mall than California, so I can't complain when I'm browsing through this place. -

What a renovation! I still remember when Parker Place was split up (Parts I and II) and was supremely Honger. It's still very Honger but has a modern, renovated theme that now puts it in the higher echelon of Asian malls. It's not the Aberdeen Center, but then again nothing else is.
Chinese folks would be inclined to call it by its romanticized Chinese name "Baak Ga Dim" or "Bai Jia Dian." If literally spoken outloud that means "Parker Place." I bet this will come in handy for the non-Chinese speaking when referring to this place to the non-English speaking (which is plenty in all of Vancouver/Richmond).
I won't lie, I like this newer Parker Place look. Granted its been this way for almost 4 years but it is just such a vast improvement over what it used to be. Parking is better, the store layout is not as confusing, and with all of the new updates the mall is actually cleaner.
I can vouch for the decent food court (though I would prefer Yaohan's), the very exclusive Hong Kong boutique fashion spaces, and the plethora of cheesy car accessories, bridal shops, herbal centers, and book stores. Bak Ga Dim can shake the ghetto Honger mall image and blend in with the rest of beautiful Richmond. -

I use to come to Parker Place all the time. The reason is they have a store that sells the waffle like Egg Balls. Oh I love those! This is the best place I have had them so far. I have not found a place in the SB that can compare. She would make the cookie Egg Rolls fresh too. Everything was made fresh to order. I would watch her pour the batter in and you can smell them cooking. It would just be perfect, warm, crispy on the outsides and soft on the inside. Okay now I am craving for one!
