CLOSED Thanks for the good times Curry House, I wish I had done this review while you were still around. I never told you how much I loved you. I'll never forget the special times we had together. Just me, tender beef, buttery potatoes and silky curry sauce smothering perfectly cooked rice and crispy Roti. You rocked my world! I hope the future brings you happiness. read more

Tasty Malaysian place in the Yaohan food court. Parking is plentiful in the lot in front of the building. The place looks like a mom and pop. Mom was friendly. The Hainan chicken combo was pretty tasty. Portion size is definitely on the small side though. I was still hungry after devouring everything. Comes with 2 sauces (green and red), as well as cup of soup. Wouldn't mind coming back to their curry dishes. read more

-Flavors are good but...- Prior to the ownership/name change many years ago, the curry was awesome (and a wee bit pricey). But ignore that, the base recipe is still good (and still a wee bit pricey). Having tried it again this year, I can confirm it's still good....but I would definitely say the flavors don't seem as intense, spicy or as thick as it once was. I could be wrong about that it may have been an off day. Overall its unique curry recipe worth trying but I don't think it was good as I remember it. read more

One of the best cheap eats that I like going to is Curry House located at Yaohan Center in Canada. I've been going to Curry House for a long time and always get their beef brisket curry rice dish. They specialize in Malaysian food style. I also have been in the mood for some curry fish balls and their version is very good here. Large fish balls cooked and marinated in the signature curry sauce. Their fish balls are soft and tender and makes a great snack for dining in or on the go. The beef brisket was also very tender and cooked perfectly. It goes so well with their curry and this plate is easily shareable. I'm glad that you can still have a great meal without having to spend too much money. 8/10 Curry Beef Brisket with rice $11.00CAD=$8.41USD Curry Fish balls (6pc)-$3CAD=$2.29USD read more

First try of their hainanese chicken a few years back and it was disappointing. Tried again for lunch today and in hope this time would be better. However... The Chicken was soft but no favour at all. The rice barely contained any chicken favour. So it was another disappointment. They should just stick with selling the curry. read more

With so many choices at this food court, I finally zeroed in on Curry House. Ordered the laksa with hainese chicken and chose the egg noodles. Although the chicken was soft, flavorful and meaty, the curry broth was a bit on the tame side. I liked the crunch from the sprouts and the noodles were nice and chewy. Not a bad bowl of laksa but not great either. read more

First time trying this place. Noticed they had the Hainanese Chicken Rice. Considering that it's from a food court I went in with low expectations and they were actually exceeded by a long shot. The chicken, which was bone-in, contributed to a lot of wonderful flavour, compared to other locations which debone their chicken. Additionally, it comes with the soup and the sauces were very flavourful as well. read more

One of the best Hainanese chicken rice I've ever had. One of my friend lived in Vancouver BC 15 yrs ago, and her favorite food is the Hainanese chicken rice from curry house. Finally I got a chance to taste what's all the fuss about. First of all, the Hainanese chicken rice is extraordinary. The chicken meat is very juicy, tender and lightly flavored. Two difference sauces are provided, they're not really necessary because the chicken itself tastes very delicious already. The rice is quite unique because it's covered with lots chicken oil. It sounds greasy but actually pretty good and brings out the sweetness of the rice. I also ordered curry rice noodle and it's excellent. Usually I'm not a fan of curry noodle, because it's quite easy to get too salty and spicy. But this one got the flavor right balanced. And the rice noodle get great texture, not too soggy nor too hard. Now I can see that why this store stands in the same food court for 15 yrs and still a popular choice for locals. It's hard to do daily ordinary food right, but they sure did it. read more

Well I came back here to give their curry another try. The verdict? It sucked!!! The curry beef brisket with rice is $9.50, you get a side of rice and maybe 5 or 6 pieces of brisket and like 2 pieces of potato. So when 2 of the pieces of brisket are inedible because the cut of beef is really cheap and/or not braised/cooked enough you tend to get a little pissed off. I think when you play almost 10 bucks for your lunch and almost half of it is inedible that's pretty crappy. The only good part was the curry sauce which was very flavourful so I poured it all over my rice. If your name is Curry House you should be able to make some decent curry. The 2 stars are for the laksa and haninese chicken which I can find elsewhere. Won't be back....... read more

Curry House - Tough cheap cuts of beef. For almost 10 bucks a plate (with rice) this is unacceptable. Dislike!! - Food Stands Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

3.5. I see there's a mixed variety of reviews for Curry House. But to put everything into my perspective, this place is not bad especially in terms of convenience: If you need a refuel from fighting (shopping) in the supermarket with an army of "si-lais" (moms and old ladies), and craving for something that's not "fast-food Chinese", AND not having to drive all the way to Mui Garden in Richmond traffic (yes). In terms of food, I love the Hainanese Chicken Combo and the Laksa. The former is plated with generous portion of Chicken that's accompanied by the ginger-green onions sauce and spicy-sour sauce, oil-rice, and house-pickled white radish and carrots. The house even throws in a daily soup. The latter is a big bowl of flavorful noodle mix of rice noodle and egg noodle, topped with fish cake, shredded chicken, fish balls, boiled egg, tofu puff, and sprinkled with fried garlic and shrimp. The broth is thick and flavorful and hard to resist from drinking it all At around $8~9 dollar each, I love it. So why the 3.5? Well, as a high-maintenance foodie, I prefer the texture of those pastured chicken (yes I see you rolling your eyes) and yes you can taste the difference! Okay fine, maybe a better chicken texture and one that's relatively freshly prepped would raise me up to touch the rainbow. But hey, its food court food. Let's not be too snobby about it. Cheerio~ read more

The Curry House is one of my favorite options in the bustling Yaohan food court. Despite it's very general name, the curry served here is specific to Malaysian cuisine. One could argue the curry served here is a direct influence from the large Indian presence in the country, but I'll just argue that the food served here is cheap and delicious. Much like the other food vendors here, food is usually served as quickly as it's cooked. Know what you want or suffer the indignity of annoyed staff and impatient customers. A few items I can attest to are very decent and are a sure thing practically every time: Roti Canai - fresh, with just enough crisp and the curry sauce would taste good with just about anything. Char Kway Teow - these fried flat noodles are popular in SE Asia and are delicious when hot off the wok. Just tell them to be easy on the bean sprouts. Curry Laksa - great flavor, colorful assortment of everything from fishballs to tofu to noodles. It's not every day you'll find a food vendor that serves strictly Malaysian with a curry emphasis, hence the Curry House is totally worth a visit. Besides in a city like Richmond where Chinese food is left and right, taking a culinary detour makes for great variety. read more

I love curry! It is one of the few things I love about southeast cuisine Curry house unfortunately isn't it! There food is oily and bland. Expect to pay 15 bucks for a lousy "meal" Avoid at all cost read more

The Curry House has been a staple food stall in Richmond for a decade and some. Located in the Yaohan center food court, the Curry House sees a steady stream of customers daily. They're most famous for their selection of Singaporean "street" style curry dishes such as curry fishballs, curry lamb, etc. and Hainanese Chicken. The pricing is very affordable and everything is cooked daily. I would consider their hainanese chicken the most popular item on the menu. The chicken is seasoned and boiled in house, and the rice is made with said chicken oil and broth which brings out the enticing fragrance that is expected of a good chicken rice. While it might seem like a miniscule thing, the quality of their ginger oil is very good. A good ginger oil contains more ginger than onions, and not overly salty, something the Curry House satisfies. Each portion of hainanese chicken rice is 1 quarter of a chicken, a bowl of rice, ginger oil, chili sauce, and a bowl of hot daily chinese soup. I often find that I finish the rice before eating all the chicken because its so good, but the chicken is also delicious in its own right. The Curry House is a no-frills food stall that serves honest homestyle cooking at a very reasonable price. They do take-out orders at no additional cost and use good packaging techniques and materials. Being in business for so long, they've stuck with their guns and offer no pretentious meals here. If your're reading this review and havent eat there before, please by all means support a local family's business. A Classic Four, out of Four. read more

This is my first time trying the food. They said they have the best curry in town. Unfortunately, I do not agree. I ordered a $12 set which include chicken curry and a naan. In Yohan food court standard, it is quite pricy. They said their curry is good so I had some expectation. Once I got my food, I tried the curry sauce first. The curry itself was pretty watery and flavorless. The chicken had no curry taste as well. The naan was super hard too. Not just the taste, the portion is very small for its price. Since there are many choices in Yohan food court, I am not sure if I will eat at this place again... read more

I tried the laksa and was very disappointed. Too much coconut milk had been added, so the broth was way too rich. There were only around four tiny pieces of chicken, which tasted off. As if the meat had been left in the fridge for too long. My parents are Malaysian, and I've lived in Malaysia for a number of years, so I know what authentic laksa tastes like. And this was not it. For $8.50 a bowl, it wasn't worth it. You can get better laksa at a good Malaysian restaurant for around the same price. I advise you to take your money elsewhere. Defintely did not live up to the hype. read more

Maybe i'm used to Mui Garden, where it's much more creamier, which means more tastier and sweeter lol, but who knows, if you had tried this first before Mui, CH could be good too. Not saying it's average, maybe a bit better, but lacks the 'omph' factor. Still can recommend but would I rant and rave about CH? prob. not. Proportion-wise, I know it's a food court, so they do skimp out on the portions. Still tender enough, and lots of rice, as pics shows. Ordered w/ the combo, the Hainaan chicken, also a bit too soft for my liking; almost like it's been sitting too long. But edible. The ginger sauce & hot sweet chill does the job. Also came w/ a complimentary small bowl taro/radish soup. Good value/variety for $12. just hate eating w/ plastic utensils now lol. You can apparently buy their curry sauce by the bucket/litres too. read more

Interesting, I did not know this place was Malaysian, and have never had any any Malaysian food there. That said, every time I visit Vancouver I have to make the trip here for the Hainanese curry. The beef and potato are really good, but the lamb and beef tendon are both delicious. I really like the chicken and the broth as well. read more

Located in Yaohan food court. Serves mainly curry dishes and hence the name. Sri Lanka noodles ($6.95). Curry flavor was sporadic. Would prefer a stronger curry taste. Noodles were a bit harder than I would have liked. Lots of ingredients in the soup including tofu, meat, and vegetables. Food was prepared quickly. They also sell Hainan Chicken which is random in my opinion. Overall, decent food court choice. The price is a bit high for the amount but it's still filling. An alternative to the greasy Chinese food court food. read more

No doubt they serve one of the best curry in Vancouver, their curry taste rich and not too spicy. Curry beef is tender and chicken is juicy. Hainan chicken just taste okay imo, but it is best to serve with some curry fishball, mix the sauce with the hainan chicken will make it tastes better. Their chicken oil rice isn't taste very good, but Malay bread was excellent. With this price, nothing much you can complain. A bowl of curry should serve 2-3 small portion eaters easily. read more

Not the original Curry House anymore!!! I have lived in Vancouver from 1990~1997, and came to Curry House for their Hainan chicken from time to time, and I can never find another Hainan chicken tastes as good, not in Singapore, not in kualaLampu, not in HongKong, not in Taiwan, not in LA. The very last time I visited here in 2013 it still tasted just as I have remembered, but now in 2019 I am here again, the old shop(at the corner with a standing rooster as logo) is no longer there. Instead, few shops down, there is another one with exact the same English name but different chinese name, and has a logo with a rooater posting thumb up. I hesitated but had no choice but to order from this new restaurant, and it was not worth returning. I guess this new shop is trying to piggie back on the fame of the old name, but the meat has no flavor and texture is musshy and soup is no good.... If anyone know where the chief of the original Curry House is at now, please let me know. read more

The Hainanese Chicken here is very impressive, considering it's from a food court! The oil rice was very fragrant from the chicken oil, and wasn't too oily. The chicken was tender, fragrant, and the portion size was just right. The combo also came with soup, which had pieces of meat and nian oh in it! Service is super quick, I got my meal 20 seconds after paying (which to some may be a good or bad thing.) read more

My friend recommended the curry fish balls which I ordered since I was only looking for a light snack. The fish balls were large and the curry sauce was quite tame. It could use a bit more kick and flavor. Lots of people were ordering the hainanese chicken which I would love to return to try. read more

There is delicious Beef Brisket Curry to be found in the Yaohan food court. On the greasy side, but was divine with rice. This isn't a creamy curry like Mui Garden's rendition, definitely little to none coconut milk here. It tasted almost like an Indian curry to me. Mildly spicy. The nice lady gave us so much beef! read more

This Malaysian Curry house is one of a kind. It's one of those terrific local food joints that you pray celebrities like Guy and Bourdain don't ever go to. Keep it secret. It's cheap and frequented mostly most locals. The unique flavor will without fail, impress even the most unadventurous of eaters. Try the chicken. It rules. read more

From the states so this was my first stop after crossing the border as I was craving curry and had it once before. I got the Curry beef Tendon and a few curry fishballs. It did seem pricy for the amount of tendon you get ~$9 but it is filling if you eat all the rice. I think it has a really good curry flavor, strong than you would normally get at most restaurants. It is not the healthiest food as it is sorta greasy but it hits the stop. I will probably stop by here on my way back to the states as it beats making it yourself. read more

I had hainanese chicken rice, good flavour. Only negative is portions is small, just right portion for a female but I had to get a side dish of curry beef. read more
