1. Takifugu Japanese Dining
Richmond, BC V6X 3A6
(604) 207-1188
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
I love this place! Ever since Thu took me here last year I've been looking for a good reason to go back. It's not a cheapie sushi joint, so I always feel as if I need a special reason to come here.
The prices are definitely reasonable for their…More »
2. Kam Do Restaurant & Bakery
Richmond, BC V6X 3W5
(604) 231-9216
Despite the fact that this place is a grumbling 10-15 minute walk from the skytrain station (which feels twice as long when you're super hungry), I will make my way down here for their massive portions when I feel like HK Cafe food. My regular dish…More »
3. Wo Fung Dessert
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 233-1132
Categories:
Chinese,
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Wo Fung, I love you. Despite your pushy service and my inability to read half your menu because it's not in English, you still make some delicious chicken wings and deep fried squid around. Especially love that I can get these foods so easily -…More »
4. Daiso
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 295-6601
Categories:
Department Stores,
Dollar Store
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
I could seriously build my life with stuff from this store. Daiso has everything the cheap chic girl is looking for, and all for $2. They've got everything from plastic storage options to dishware and bakeware to cleaning supplies to clothes! My…More »
5. Jade Seafood Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
(604) 249-0082
**See my previous review for King Crab dinner.**
Came here for dim sum, and was instantly reminded about why this place was fab. Seeing how its order before 11am for a 20% discount, we took our time in selecting the more unique dishes. The top dish we…More »

6. Bee Kim Heng Beef & Pork Jerky
Vancouver, BC V5V 4B8
(604) 875-8688
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
This is my go-to place for jerky - everything they make is gold. When I'm headed back to the t-dot, I'll always bring a few pounds back for the relatives, and it gives me a good excuse to stop by and grab a pound or so for myself as well. :)
The place…More »
7. Aberdeen Centre
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 270-1234
Category:
Shopping Centres
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Aberdeen brings a glimpse of home for me - it totally reminds me of Pacific Mall in the t-dot, except it's much nicer and more spacious. It's definitely not as lively as PMall (as we lovingly call it in Toronto), but that's because I picture it more…More »
8. Chen's Shanghai Restaurant
I can't say they're the best in the city, but Chen's has some seriously good XLBs. When they're fresh to your table, they're big and swelled up with delicious soupy filling. For $4.50, they're certainly a bargain!
Came here for lunch with the mister,…More »
9. Neptune Seafood Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 3K1
(604) 207-9888
I'm always on the hunt for dim sum restaurants, and I especially love cheap food. So when I saw this place last week, I had to stop in and ask about their lunches.
Tip One: If you order your dim sum before 11am, it's 20% off (from previous reviews,…More »
10. Lucky Tao Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
(604) 233-1219
After hearing that Lucky Tao offered dim sum, I became pretty curious because I'd only ever been here for King Crab dinner, but I mean... why not, right? So I was determined to give it a try, and on a lovely Sunday morning showed up shortly after…More »

When March comes around, I have an itch for king crab. Without fail, every year. But usually I have… Read more »
11. Imperial Court Beijing Cuisine
Came here for dim sum after reading a few reviews here, and overall was happy. The place is has 20% off their dim sum menu if you put in an order before 11am. As usual, I ordered way too much food for two people, and ended up bringing home a lot of…More »
12. Gingeri Chinese Cuisine
After waking up late on a Sunday morning, I rang up Gingeri to see whether they had early morning dim sum. I've been determined to try out new dim sum places, so I was alert and ready to go within 10 minutes of the receptionist telling me that you…More »
13. Lung Kee Congee & Noodles
Richmond, BC V6X
(604) 303-0911
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Was craving congee and saw this at the food court of Aberdeen and thought "why not?". Decent congee, well-flavoured (though I suspect MSG), and a good amount of fish pieces for $4.25. $6.50 gets you a congee with a side dish of stir-fried rice /…More »
14. Mai Mei Hong
This was the first jerky place I was introduced to when I moved to Vancouver. It's hidden in the Parker Place food court, and the shop's been around for a long time so it's definitely got an old-school kinda feel to it.
Apparently it's pretty famous…More »
15. Mei Jan Hong Beef Jerky
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 273-6889
Category:
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Decided to try out this beef jerky place since I'd never seen it before. I picked up several packages of beef and pork jerky which I pre-ordered over the phone, and the service was fast and friendly. They had my order ready to go right when I got…More »
16. Empire Chinese Cuisine
Richmond, BC V6X 1C3
(604) 303-9780
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Being the frugal Chinese that I am, I'm always partial to restaurants that have the discount option for early morning eaters. So when we gave this place a ring and they told us it's 20% off if you order before 11am, we were sold.
We squeezed ourselves…More »
17. Fisherman's Terrace Seafood Restaurant
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 303-9739
Yelp has never steered me wrong with food suggestions. Especially when you type "dim sum" near "Richmond". It's like looking for the gummi de milo at a candy convention, you know what I mean?
I think Yelp's a little outdated on the info for this…More »
18. H-Mart Korean Grocery Store
Richmond, BC V6X 4J7
(604) 233-0496
Categories:
Department Stores,
Ethnic Food,
Grocery
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Came exploring here on opening day and it was all sorts of crazy. Came back a week later and it was much more mellow. They've got sampling to compete with the T&T across the street. The store feels a bit cramped (the fresh fruits & veggies section is…More »
19. La Chocolaterie
Richmond, BC V6X 2A4
(604) 214-6607
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Golden Village
Chocolates! So many cups of chocolate! All cute and sitting there, puffing their chests out and whispering to curious onlookers "pick me! pick meeeee!"
Yes, that's exactly what I think my food does when I'm debating which ones to choose. Japanese…More »
20. Kam Do Bakery
If you don't want to make the trek down Alexandria, then this is the place you go for the best wife cakes in town. A treat for any non-local, the wife cakes here are something famous to the folks back in Toronto and even in Hong Kong. I'm not allowed…More »

Dim Sum! (20)I love dim sum. I will gladly wake up early on a weekend to go try a new dim sum place out. If you're lacking a vehicle like I am, then perhaps some of these places may interest you when you get a dumpling itch? If I can get there san-car, so can you! |
Visitors List! (8)When I have out of towners, I love telling them about how great our city is. Here's the usual list of places I send them to. :) |
Izakayas! (6)There are so many in the city, I've still got to try them all. |
Sushi! (23)You can't come to this city without going to a sushi joint. And there are many. This might take a while. |
Japanese Noodle and Rice Shops! (4)Delicious (and sometimes brothy) goodness in a bowl. The best kind of meal. |
Diners, Drive-In and Dives (2)Chasing after the show, one restaurant at a time. |
ROTD! (3)I'm so proud! Please don't think any less of me... |
