Give me a bed! I want to move in here! This store is heaven. I came back to Yohan last weekend to look for some cool stuff to buy....and ended buying some unknown fruits, which ultimately gave me a massive stomach ache...but heck, who cares! This place still rocks! The food court right outside is just as impressive. The food looked so delicious! It blows my mind why people in Richmond are so skinny with so many good food around. If I moved there, I would be the fattest guy in the city because I would be devouring everything in sight.
*Sigh*, why can't Seattle have a store like this? All Washington get are stinkin Teriyaki joints and Safeways. 10 stars for Yohan!
Oh yeah, be careful of the drivers in their Parking Lot. They're still crazy! Make sure you get full coverage on your car insurance before venturing out here.
I absolutely love this place! We went there yesterday for lunch and the hot food in their grocery… Read more »
OSAKA SUPER MARKET!
I've been coming to Yaohan Centre for as long as I can remember. I used to come up to Vancouver all the time when I was younger.
What I love about this place is how affordable and great quality all of the produce and food is.
The Osaka Super Market is full of fresh fruits, veggies, snacks, take out, meats, drinks, and a full bakery!
I love to get the specialty breads here, as well as the Asian toast. The egg tarts here are also really, very good.
I really like the take out food here, including the sticky rice balls! They are custom made with your choice of purple or white rice. I like the purple rice with pork sung, tea egg slices, pickled vegetables, and sausage. Yum! The pig ears and bean curd threads are also yummy.
I haven't been back for a while, I hope to venture out to here as often as I used to!

YAY!!! An asian store that I think is better than Ranch 99!! Lots of food and plenty of variety to stuff your baskets with. And the baskets are the wagon type so you're pulling that thing like you're lugging your treasures to your special place.
There's too many places to see and I love their bread counter...yummy mango promotion. Mango loaves and mango pudding? HAHAH...I love it!
I can't get enough of this place! It's like Kent's Great Wall Shopping Mall but with more people, more great places to eat, and fresher produce and baked goods!
The first time I ever went was with the hubby and it was love at first sight, taste, and smell. Aside from all the little restaurants/stands to choose from for cheap eats, they have a ton of stores to browse and window shop through. I'd visit again, and again, and again.
Where the Asian girls/guys hang out! I love this place because this is considered a a mixture of Japanese and Chinese shopping mall in Vancouver and it's great because I'm half Japanese/Chinese too :)
If you're from Los Angeles, this place is like FOCUS PLAZA in San Gabriel, but better in my opinion because I like how it's laid out and it's easier to navigate around and also because the supermarket has Japanese food and Japanese bookstore on the second floor. I think that Focus Plaza caters mostly to Chinese people.
I didn't try anything from the food court on the first floor, but it looked really nice and it was spacious. I guess it is a great place to go for CHEAP Chinese food/delicacies that reminds you of food from back home :)
A great place worth checking out in VANCOUVER!
PS: I came here with a white guy and he was the only Caucasian there so there were some stares but we had fun anyway! So be prepared to get stared at, but that shouldn't be a concern :)

This is one of the many Chinese shopping centers that you'll find around VBC and Richmond; however this one remains one of the best in my books. Sure, it's not as new as Aberdeen but it's got a much better food court than Aberdeen. There is so much to choose from here and it's dirt CHEAP! Let me repeat, it's dirt CHEAP! You can stuff yourself for under 10 dollars and also get a bubble tea or gui ling goa. Besides universal health care, this is probably the 2nd best reason to immigrate to Canada.
Oh yeah, bring CASH, no credit accepted in the food court!
My favorite grocery store in all of Richmond. Then again, I haven't been to many so this review could be biased, but no trip up to Vancouver is complete without a stop here.
My rating of 5 is soley for the bakery in the Yaohan Grocery. Their raisin bread wheels are AMAZING. It comes out around noon or 1PM and is soft, warm, and just the right amount of raisins. I'm never a big fan of crusts, but I will devour all the crusts on this bread... INCLUDING END PIECES! This never happens, so I know it's yummy. I usually end up buying 5-6 rolls and endure weird looks from all as I lunge towards the bakery cart as they are wheeled out. I finish one whole roll by the time I cross the border into Washington and another the night I return and the next day (I'm hardcore... and I love those carbs). Then I freeze the rest. They are never the same after the first day, but are still quite tasty afterwards.
Their pineapple (melon?) buns are also the best. They are "Taiwanese" style so they are soft and the crust/topping is just the right amount to cover the top. I usually buy at least 10-15 to bring home with. They have a great assortment of other baked yummies including rice cakes, mochi cakes, fruit cakes... you name it.
I send big hearts to this bakery.
*Sidenote: Yaohan's food court is also very good and has a good assortment of cheap, fast, and tasty food and bubble tea.

I love Yaohan centre.
I remember I used to go behind there and meet up with the street racers.
This is my favorite mall in the area. Why? It has the best food court - just about anything you want or had while growing up in HK you can find here. This was the mall where I found the spicy fishball that reminded me so much of my childhood days in HK. I can eat them nonstop until my stomach explode and I tend to do that often, along with the pig skin and pig intestines - just goodness that bring back memories. Besides the food court, I also enjoy the supermarket inside the mall where you can get some tasty buns, some tasty treats at the deli, inexpensive sushi...etc. There are also a couple stores that sell VCDs and DVDs where we always pick up some movies.
I miss this place...why can't SF pull together a place like this?!?
If you're bored like we were and looking for something to do at 9pm on a weeknight, check out this grocery / shopping center / food court in Richmond BC. There were definitely some good eats there (check out the other reviews) although most places were closed by the time we came through.
The huge grocery store closes at 9:30pm so we spent most of their time in there eyeing all the Asian goods, seafood, meats, produce, etc. The bakery had some nice stuff and I picked up some stuffed mochi balls which were great.

Yaohan Grocery is 4 star, and they even have a Sweet & sour vegartarian dish!!
rest of the mall are only ok....
Yaohan was the first major Asian supermarket of its kind I had ever seen and sadly I have yet to see any live up to its standard. This place has it all, the compliments of many honger businesses ranging from boutique stores to mini-dress shops, video games, car accessories, and an awesome food court. The parking can be a bit messy during peak times, but with enough patience spots tend to open up fast. Things are constantly changing here and every time I come here I always notice something is under construction and there are new stores abound.
Most of the Asian supermarkets that I've seen have always lacked something that Yaohan had. Uwajimaya, Viet Malls in OC don't hold a candle to Yaohan's mega sized store of needs. There is no Chinese bias here, just simply a lot of respect for the treasure that Richmond has in Yaohan.
Yaohan supermarket is convenient. When I'm too lazy to cook and I can pick up the meals at their hot deli. Lucky for the people in Richmond. There are a lot more choices! They have a Western bakery which isn't too bad (3/5) Including cakes, breads, cookies and pastries.
Or I can also dine at the food court. My favorite is the guy who sells congee and noodles. I don't like the Curry and Korean food stall.
Like Asian malls they have gift shop, boutiques, CD shop. Located upstairs and it's pretty quiet. Nothing exciting up there. But, I come here to browse for kitchen appliances. Or to look at real estate in the BC area that I may consider purchasing.
It seems that I always run into some old friends in Yaohan. Even those that I hardly see. I see them here.
From a fully functional perspective the Yaohan is fine. It has a great huge grocery store, a solid food court and other amenities that suit the needs of most shoppers. That said as a Vancouverite who rarely ventures out to 'burbs as far as Richmond, Yaohan has little to offer to draw me in.
Most of the other great Richmond malls feature either enough stores or enough interesting asian goods to make them worthwhile. Yaohan is pretty small compared to Aberdeen, which is right across the street and features more interesting stuff played across much more space.
There's nothing wrong generally with Yaohan. If you need something form it and are local, it's a great place to head. Otherwise, unless you're looking for some good food options in the area, there's not much that ought to attract you here.
This was like an oasis in the desert.
We had been eating such crappy food on our trip and just came across this shopping centre. I was all smiles when we walked in here. From Osaka Supermarket to the huge food court with all sorts of Asian food stalls, our entire family was in heaven.
Yaohan, I *heart* you!
Very nice. Yaohan has everything - grocery, bakery, place to chop thin sliced meats for hot pot at home, sushi, hot foods, cold foods, even rice cookers.
Yes, it it even has the crowds, a cramped parking lot, and bad drivers.
Very good Asian shopping mall, beside Toronto, Vancouver has the next best Asian shopping malls in North America. You hear that California??? When I was working in Washington (Bangor, Bremerton and Seattle), I would frequently drive 2.5-3 hours to Vancouver. I would stop by Yohan Centre and see what they have.
On the first floor, half of the Yohan Centre is a big and clean Asian supermarket. They have all kinds of fresh Chinese groceries and yummy pastries. Once, I bought a 12" Hazelnut cake and flown it back to Ohio. Yea yea, they put my cake thru the Xray machine... sigh. The cake was really good minus the radiation, not too sweet, just like the one in Hong Kong. Very impressive with the stuffs they sell.
On the other side of the Yohan Center, it's a very large food court. A lot of small vendors selling Chinese deli... BBQ pork, Congee, many many things. Cheap and good eats.
Second floor has few shops... but not as busy as first floor. Not much to see. I usually just hang around the first floor... yummy food court... and food sample at the supermarket.
Parking can be a pain, but luckily there's a parking garage next to Yohan Centre.
We have to come here everytime we're in Canada to get my grocery shopping done. The snacks, bakery, ramen, drink selection is great! They have a parking lot but it's crazy out there. The food court is large, cheap, and has plenty of options for everyone. The shops upstairs are ok. Nothing too exciting there. Note- there is a candy store upstairs. If you see something interesting, you might want to wait and check the prices downstairs in the grocery store. I bought a super big box of lemon tea for $1.19 and it was on sale downstairs for $0.88. oh well!
I try to come here every time we're in Richmond. Osaka Supermarket aside, the place has a few pretty good stores. The Japanese bookstore, the snack store and the puzzle store on the second floor are especially fun, but that's about it for shopping. The food court though is the best part of the place. Cheap noodles and rice plates, authentic herbal teas (one of few such tea shops in North America) and a great coffee place that does great Hong Kong style drinks make this the best food court ever. Emphasis on cheap here, since the prices are really good.
T&T market rocks. I love it. I wish we'd have one in the Bay Area. If we did, I'm sure it would become run down and dirty like Ranch 99 in no time.
The shops upstairs are nothing special. There's a Japanese bookstore (the only one I know of in the GVA), but it's a bit pricey compared to Kinokuniya in SF.
The food court is pretty decent. Unlike the other area food courts, this one stays open late -- until 9pm. My one complaint is that there are far too many steam tables offering the same thing for the same price -- 4 items on rice for $5.50. It's a pretty good deal, but it's extremely MSG-sy. Closer to closing time (after 7:30pm), the steam table vendors will start liquidating their offerings for a ridiculously low price of 4 large orders for $10 (a large order is comparable to a family-style dish ordered at a Chinese restaurant). That's right, 4 for $10, or $8 USD!
