I have to admit the buns are tasty. Except that I found hair in the stuffing of their bun...twice!! And also a metal strip apparently from their dish washing brush in one of the dinner course..which is probably the reason why my dad got stomachache that night

RCR are known for their bakery and all day dim sum. It's always busy and got me courious as to why. Therefore I decided to give it a try by purchasing some dim sum one morning.
I thought it was ok and still wonder what everyone likes about it o_O Maybe it's the bakery or price, as its very reasonable. -

Richmond Court Restaurant Bakery is 2 store on the left of Richmond Court Restaurant sandwiching Lucullus Bakery.
If you look through the front window from outside, you will not see anything because they are all fogged up!! When you walk in, you will know why... there are steamers warming the dim sums and the rice they sell. Dim Sums are $1.75 per order and Rice with chicken/beef/spare ribs are $3.50 with tea or coffee.
There are also Chinese buns and Western style cakes... I have to say the slice cakes are the smallest I ever seen! priced between $1.50 to $1.70, they are so thinly sliced!! It is an embrassment when you trying to get it for your friends and they wondering how cheap I am when the cake slice is so small!
The lady that served me just give me that tiny cake slice and asked me to hold on to it and go pay at the cashier?!! Gee... at least help me put it in a bag or something..
There are some seatings if you do decide to eat in... but I don't think it will be a pleasure experience, since you will smell like dim sum after and your glasses might be all fogged up because of the steam...

One of my favorite place to eat in Toronto.
This is where we usually stop for afternoon tea or lunch. I think it's either inside or around "Times Square" on Highway 7.
My favorite is the toasted "pineapple bun" with butter...and HK style milk tea.
I also like all the noodles and congee. -

Before heading up to Toronto, I was reading reviews from Yelp! and found this restaurant. After seeing that this was a 4 Stars, I decided to go there for breakfast during my trip. When we arrived, the staff(s) were unfriendly, the service was slow, the food was oily/greasy, wasn't the cleanest place, the drinks came much later than the food (when we were almost done) and the staffs were arguing among themselves on pricing of the food on the menu. When we asked for the check, we paid in cash + 10% tips. We counted the money 3x, and left it on our table. As we were walking out, the cashier came chasing after us because she said we were short $8 ($3 for food; $5 for tips). She was unfriendly with an attitude! Everyone who went with me had diarrhea. I do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone (unless you're asking for an intestinal disorder characterized by abnormal frequency and fluidity of fecal evacuations).
The only reason why I have to give a 1 STAR is because it is a required field before I can post. -

Richmond court has two locations in close promixity to one another. There is one in the Time square plaza which I'd bigger and there's an actual restaurant. Then there is this one which is a little further west along hwy 7. This one is much smaller, and is mostly a Chinese bakery withva small selection of Dim sum items and a hand full of table.
My review is for the latter. I really enjoy eating Chinese buns. The pineapple buns are my fav and if you're lucky enough to get them while they are fresh from the oven then it's just heavenly. The only dim sum item I've tried is the vegetarian mock meat dish. Other than the pineapple buns they make pretty good garlic buns, which rivals any restaurant. They use a sweet buns dough combined with the salty garlicy spread. There's nothing else like it.
The prices are pretty reasonable. If you buy six or more buns, you don't have to pay tax. -

I didn't get to try the dim sum, but the entrees (crispy wontons, pan fried crispy noodles and fried rice) we ordered were not bad. There were only a smidge of grease and no headaches from MSG. I doubt this place serves anything that has MSG, which is makes it even better. And of course as traditional Chinese restaurants, it was family style so we had leftovers even with our party of 5.

Richmond Court or Nam Yuen (South Court) has been a fixture of the "Golden Plaza" (Wong Gum) shopping center by Highway 7 & Chalmers since 1992/93 era. It is right in the corner near the Chinese supermarket and is hard to miss.
Side note: "Wong Gum" Plaza is named after a famous shopping arcade in Hong Kong, notably Kowloon's Sham Shui Po area, which in the 1980s was famous for stores selling Apple 2 clone computers and hardware and accessories, and ahem the vendors there being the early pioneers of bootleg software on 3.5" floppy disks. Games were like $1.50 a pop, and pretty much started the revolution of A$N CHEAPNE$$ where HK ppl believe as a result of such rampant availability at low prices, that software, services, media, music etc should be made more available cheaply and widely, an attitude and perhaps ingrained culture, that sadly persists to this day amongst some consumers. Why do you think A$Ns and AZNs love low quality low tech bargains or copies of originals? Can't afford a Rolex? Get a RoDex instead at the night market for cheap! Or a Prada wallet? Hey there's PraPa, don't fret. You don't want to know what the clone brand of DKNY is called.
Their success throughout the years has allowed them to expand into the Times Square plaza about 5 minutes away, with much bigger and slightly tidier digs, although last time in 2003 when I passed by it, the bigger and supposedly much better looking place started to look a bit old and tired.
This first location of Richmond Court has a local HK style cafe feel, more stripped down, where expat$ and A$Ns alike flock here for the usual classics, HK style western food and drink, coexisting with HK Cantonese common fare classics like won ton noodles, shui gow dumplings (10+ years ago used to be the best in town), beef brisket noodles or over rice, and related ilk.
A decent affordable place if you're in need of basic Cantonese comfort food, although I'd argue if you need congee, you may want to try (if it is still around) "Dai Fai Woot" right in the corner closer to Chalmer's side (perfect snack into the moderately late hours of pre midnight even for the A$N after his golf game).
Easily 4 stars by San Francisco Bay Area standards, but for the pickiest of A$Ns and locals, and due to its history/age, I'm slotting it at a more grounded keepin it realz 3. -

Think Lobster cooked well and served on bed of yummy noodles.
Did I mention the way the dish is served looks as if the Lobster is swimming in the noodles? In a brothy sauce that's mild in flavor but delicious?
Did I mention I am not a fan of seafood? Did I mention I usually can't stand calamari, but when they deep fried the little squid cupper suckers of our little squid friends, that they were al dente, flavorful, and yummy?
Seriously, I have had Chinese food in SF Chinatown, Oakland Chinatown, Los Angeles, in Dublin, Ireland, and yes, even in Laramie, Wyoming. But I must tell you, that this is the best Chinese food I have ever had. Hong Kong style that is authentic to the hilt. Dim Sum is available for dinner!
With the cold biting at you outside, it was so nice to sit down, have a cup of tea and pig out on some wonderful food with wonderful friends.
Richmond Hill, a suburb of Toronto, is a little shining gem of Canada. I only wish I had more time to hang out and try all the authentic places of Singapore cuisine and more. However, coming here was a great treat on my first trip to Canada.

This is my favorite place for cantonese noodle and other comfort food. Best in town stir-fried rice noodle with beef and satay sauce
Other signature dishes are beef tendon / brisket. -

They used to be pretty good but the last 3 times we ate there, the quality has been dropping. A lot of their dishes were either tasteless or way too salty. I don't know if they've changed cooks or if they're too busy but things have definitely changed. Service is typical for a chinese restaurant. We've stopped going there and looking for other places now.

I ordered the chicken fried rice and the general tao chicken, the waitress didn't speak english, they didn't accept visa or debit card. They brought me cold green tea while I waited for the food. The chicken fried rice was ok at best, and they give you alot for $6.50, but I've had much better. The general tao was nothing more than boneless chicken wings, I brought it home, I couldn't eat it, it was absolutely disgusting. When the waitress brought over the bill, it was $17.52, they look at they money like hawks, like they're suspicious of you, unbelievable. I used to come here all the time 15 years ago, now, it feels like your entering foreign territory and they don't want to have anything to do with you.
