Checked out Chef Liu Kitchen as one of the many stops at Richmond Public Market -- there's seriously so much value food packed into one place! Chef Liu Kitchen serves truly authentic Chinese comfort dishes with generous portions that make you feel right at home. There wasn't any line when we went, and service was friendly and efficient. - Deep Fried Chicken Filet (香雞排) -- $8.50 CAD -- absolutely delicious! Probably some of the best I've had -- super crispy skin with incredibly juicy chicken inside, topped with a sprinkle of red chili powder that added the perfect fiery kick Our chicken filet came out hot and fresh in just a few minutes. There's a decent amount of seating throughout the Richmond Public Market, though it can get busy around meal times making for a busy food court ambience. Chef Liu Kitchen also serves other classic Taiwanese dishes -- I'll definitely be back to try their beef noodle soup next time! read more

3.5 stars for the Taiwanese popcorn chicken rice combo, but I'll round up. Not as good as the other Taiwanese popcorn chicken a few stalls down. With a small adjustment, this place could easily be 5 stars! The popcorn chicken rice combo comes with a choice of 3 sides. I chose the spicy diced string beans, eggplant, and marinated egg. Those were all excellent! The main attraction was the letdown for me. While their popcorn chicken was fried perfectly, it lacked flavor and wasn't Taiwanese popcorn chicken. They just ask if you want to sprinkle hot seasoning on the chicken and that's it. If they used the tradition five spice seasoning with fried basil, this would easily be one of the best in BC! The beef noodle soup looked delicious so I might give that a try next time. read more

Today I felt like attempting some original flavour from Taiwan. I went directly to this stall indicating that they served original beef soup in Taiwanese style. Without hesitation, I just ordered the first item. I was surprised by my determination like I was possessed. The beef soup took 10 minutes and it didn't disappoint. The soup was thick and full of flavour out of the bone marrow. The noodles tasted so fresh like they just made out of fresh flour in the back. The beef briskets were elastic and melted when chewed, balancing fat with meat. It was delicious! I arrived on a Thursday early afternoon ~ 3pm, the ambiance was very pleasant not a lot of noise. What could I say? I had a lovely meal time, no rush no hurry, just me and the noodle soup. read more

This is found in the second floor of richmond public market and one of the staff can speak English. The food is ok but has great portion. For $18 through fantuan pickup, I got a lot of dishes. I ordered spicy chicken set. The spicy chicken is a bit oily and the flavor is a bit lacking. My favorite is the tomato and egg because it's a hearty meal and I like that it's not salty. read more

After making multiple rounds in the food court trying to decide on what to eat, we finally picked Chef Liu Kitchen. All of the other stalls were serving generic pre-made Chinese food (i.e. fried rice, noodles, general Tso's chicken) but the spicy intestines here caught my eye. I ordered the combo for $17, and it was a lot of food. You get a bowl of the spicy intestines, rice, and three sides. The "sides" were already like an entire meal by itself! I picked tofu (they gave two huge chunks), tomato egg, and black bean string beans stir-fried with ground beef (?). This wasn't anything super special, but it was really comforting, especially having just gotten off a long flight. The spicy intestines had intestines, tofu, and pig blood, and there is a generous amount in there. I didn't know that it would be mala spicy, which I don't like because of the flavor and the tongue-numbing sensation - but this one wasn't too spicy. It was tolerable. Still, I would have preferred a different flavor. If I lived in the area, I wouldn't mind just getting the rice and some of their sides. Makes for a simple yet delicious meal. read more

Taiwanese beef noodle place near the SW corner of Richmond Public Market food court. Parking is available in the lot next to the food court. This place has takeout (meat on rice) combos, as well as noodle soup. I tried their Taiwanese beef noodle. Pretty decent taste. Nice large chunks of brisket. Soup was decent too. However, the soup bowl was only 2/3 full. See photo. My buddy ordered from here and his bowl was also 2/3 full, so it wasn't a fluke or a bad serving. When every other place here serves bowls that are 90-100% full, this is a problem. Knock 1 star off. I had to buy another dinner elsewhere right after eating this. Go figure. read more

I decided to go for the basic. Beef noodle soup. It was pretty good. I liked how they gave more veggie than the customary stalk of greens. There was about 4 chunky pieces of beef. The soup was flavorful. It was a lot of noodles so you would definitely be full. I would get this again. Besides the dishes who would be made to order, there is also a cooked food area where you could select the dishes to go with your rice. While the mall closes at 6 pm, this stall closes at 7 pm. Tuesday is their day off. Parking is available at the mall. read more

Review is for chicken nuggets only - this was the juiciest popcorn chicken I've ever had. Great flavor in the batter as well. A little bit of spicy powder on top. The pieces were big and meaty. read more

Solid Taiwanese food! Ordered the minced pork and marinated egg over rice - decent portion, flavorful, and quite filling. Hubs ordered the assorted meat over noodles, and this was tasty as well. Good portion of meat to rice/noodles. Food was ready in about 10 minutes after placing our order. read more

I'm Taiwanese and grew up with this type of food at home. With covid still amongst us, this is a nice dish that transports me back to my mom and grandma's home cooking. I bought the zhajiangmian for lunch, and went back again on the same day to buy my dinner. The auntie working there was very warm also. It's a cash only place, and I didn't have enough change. The auntie let me buy the food I wanted anyways ($0.25 difference). Definitely going back if I'm in the area! read more

Chef Liu Kitchen - Public market I've been impressed every time I come to this stall. Even though the storefront looks rather ghetto, and food sometimes comes out slow, the quality and freshness of the items there is surprisingly good. Recently, I tried the fried pork chop noodles. Because they ran out of their famous beef noodles. The pork chop is flavourful and crunchy, the meat is tender and the noodles have a decent texture as well. For a food court stall, foodwise, I can't imagine it being much better than this. One thing to note about this place though...Since it's probably a small family own business, they kinda work as they please. I don't know their exact hours, but they are not always open when the mall is open, and even when they are, they often run out of their signature beef noodles. So be prepared to try something different if you want to try this stall. Food 10 Service 8 Ambiance 6 Value 9 read more

This little vendor recently upped all of their prices. This didn't drive me away as I still love the food here. I would come here for Taiwanese food whenever I got a craving. Like I've mentioned before, their side dishes that come with the combo are much better than what you'd get at Taiwanese restaurants. My absolute favorite is the tofu. It's essentially ma po tofu and can basically be an entrée on its own. My husband and I decided to go out for a quick bite today before going for groceries. First we went somewhere to grab my congee before coming here to order more food. Tonight we got the marinated intestines and Kung pao chicken combo. The intestines were kind of pricey - $6.50. They were also a little hard to chew. The major disappointment today was the kung pao chicken combo. The portion was absolutely puny. The meat, rice and the three side dishes were much much less than what we'd usually get. The chicken itself was mediocre. It was too dry and not tasty. The side dishes were still delicious but just way too little. This place usually earns a 4/5 stars in my mind every time I go; however, tonight I was very disappointed. If it wasn't for the yummy side dishes, I would've given them a 2 star. I really hope they redeem themselves the next time I go again. read more

We love going to Richmond Public Markets as there's a lot of options for food. I personally keep on coming back to Chef Lui, even with the other options. Their chicken nuggets are great and comes in a big portion. Their Beef Noodle Soup is always on point. If you don't want noodle soup, try their beef stew. Its pretty much nearly the same thing but more veggies and seperated. All rice combos come with 3 side toppings on the rice. I always get the tomatoes and egg and cabbage. Tip: If you eat there, make sure you ask for the free tea. It's delicious. read more

The food court in Richmond Public Market can seem intimidating when you see the various stalls lined up with almost no English to be heard, but don't let that deter you. I've eaten here before and today I was craving some Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and the place to go was Chef Liu for their #1. For $13 it's a generous size bowl, but you think WTH it's a basic food court so shouldn't it be cheaper? Relax! Once the soup comes out and you take that first whiff of the Intoxicating aroma followed by a spoonful of the broth, all will be forgotten! They spoon a generous amount of fresh garlic and a fresh tomato slice into the broth and when you mix it all up, it just works! There is a hint of heat in the aftertaste of the soup to wake up the tastebuds and the beef....the beef is oh so tender melt in your mouth packed full of flavor beef! I should have ordered extra beef with my soup (not sure if it was an option but dammit, it should be!) I've eaten at Tin Dai Fung in Seattle and this soup compares with that one on all levels but without the atmosphere and price tag. If you just want a great bowl of flavorful soup, look no further! read more

The skin of the Deep Fried Salty Chicken Nuggets was thick (so there was not much meat) and there was no salt and no garlic taste (the marinate). The Taiwanese Style sausage was too sweet; it was not authentic. read more

Pretty good value, as expected w/ fast food in a public market setting, but actually tasty too. Ordered the beef brisket, thick noodles Taiwanese style, good broth, some good action w/ the preserved pickles, and a slice of tomato to boot. Chopped onions too. Fried chicken good too, so for $2.50 more, you get the combo w/ rice, and minced pork w/ black bean, it's comfort food too. Look at this size! Both meals for under $15, enough for leftovers.

One of my favourite places for a quick bowl of noodles. I think they make one of the best Taiwanese beef noodles in Richmond. They reward loyalty with stamp cards. 12 stamps for free noodles! I usually get the popcorn chicken noodles. Comes with a healthy serving of chicken, bok choy and a slice of tomato. I suggest opting for non-spicy, their spices are laced with MSG and I've walked away dizzy before. read more

I found this place in mid 2017, and I was instantly in love with this place. The food was great, big portion, and the price was great too. However, I'm disappointed in their aggressive increase in the price. I was taken aback to find that the price was raised again today. It was $8.95 for a bowl of beef noodle in mid 2017, they raised it in late 2017/early 2018 to 9.45, and now it's $10... Come on, they surely have enough customers to drive their profit. I'm not a fan of them raising the price by over 10% in less than one year. Now that the price is in line with non-food court restaurants, I'll definitely come back less often. read more

deep fried chicken filet used to be my fav. but quality getting worse :( the chicken filet should be deep fried with batter in a whole filet and cut into pieces. however, the one i got today seems using parts of chicken meat instead of chicken thigh. But i still recommend here for fast Chinese food. read more
