We picked Druncken half chicken and deep fried tofu with meat sauce, also added a cold plate of garlic pork in chili sauce. Soup is so tasty! Big portions!! This is our favorite Shanghainese restaurant in Richmond, no white table cloth, no fancy decor and can go in my comfy sweats. We like their very reasonable prices--highly recommend.

We came here on a Sunday for lunch and I was surprised to see how empty the restaurant was. After I…read morestarted eating I understood why. Although some dishes were nicely prepared, others lacked seasoning. I don't think I will return in the near future, but maybe I will give this place a try again after I get over the inconsistency of seasoning. Here's what we ordered: - pan fried pork buns: I actually quite enjoyed this dish because the buns were JUICY! Would recommend ordering but please be careful when you eat it. - fried thick Shanghai noodles: this dish was WAY under seasoned I couldn't even taste the salt - bean curd roll with Chinese mushroom: very interesting combination I'm not sure how to feel about - vegetable with shrimp tofu soup: very delicious, although not enough shrimp. Would recommend

Z W Shanghai Kitchen remains one of the few places in Metro Vancouver serving truly authentic…read moreShanghai cuisine. The dishes still deliver -- generous portions, deep home-style flavours, and prices that feel fair in today's dining climate. Their xiao long bao and braised dishes continue to remind diners why the restaurant earned pre‑pandemic acclaim. Unfortunately, time and circumstance haven't been kind. Since COVID, the buzz has faded, and newer diners -- especially Gen Z and Alpha crowds -- don't seem drawn to its classic atmosphere or understated presentation. In an era when restaurants live or die by social media trend cycles, Z W Shanghai Kitchen could benefit from fresh marketing: better visuals, outreach on local foodie channels, or even a small menu refresh to attract younger palates without losing tradition. The location hasn't helped either. Like many West Vancouver businesses near Broadway, the ongoing transit construction has eaten away at visibility and foot traffic. It's a tough environment, but if any restaurant deserves to survive it, it's this one -- anchored by culinary integrity and authentic taste. It matches the calibre of popular spots like Shanghai River and Top Shanghai Cuisine in Richmond.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE 4.0 to 4.5 stars: this is one of the…read moreplaces I frequent in the Parker Place Food Court - why? It's always busy and that's a good thing: the food supplies are regularly turning over and all of those people can't be wrong. If you're looking for decent Hong Kong cafe-style food at reasonable prices, then this should be on your list of candidates for good eats when in the area! === 2. FOOD It's decent food - not top notch, but certain nothing outrageous that you'd want to avoid. Today's meal of chicken steak, ham, and egg on rice was nice, but the ham but a small thin triangle and the tomato sauce could have been thick Campbell's tomato soup out of the can - a little salty. It comes with a bowl of yummy Chinese soup of the day and a cold drink for $1.50 more, so it's good value at $9.75 in today's post-pandemic high-pricing model. Is it's iCafe good? Nope. But it also costs $6+ less and saves you the drive. Does it beat other food courts? Yes - at this price. Their two meat-item plus rice/spaghetti with drink is typically pretty good, as is the choose-your-own-adventure soup noodles, and the breakfast combos are decent too. === 3. SERVICE Considering I don't speak Chinese and that this is really a takeout stall in the food court, it's pretty good. Perhaps it's because I'm the only English-speaking patron that typically comes by? The lady who takes/serves the orders and handles payments is pretty good, and always remembers to switch to speaking English to me and is quick on the draw for everything. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Parker Place food court. That means you're going to a place that's showing its 30+ year age with tables fairly close to each other, and you'll be greeting a typically older, Asian crowd with the occasional grade-school student in uniform appear outside of school times. Wheelchairs and baby strollers could fit - if you stick to the seats out on the outer edges of the seating area, but then you'd be impeding on the walkways. Parking is occasional available outside, but you're lucky more in luck on the rooftop.

Cart noodle place along restaurant road aka Alexandra Rd. Very small space with cramped seating,…read moreand was very busy during lunch on a weekend. Managed to snag a small table near the door. Like other cart noodle places, you get an ordering sheet to build your own soup noodle. You can pick the type of noodle, broth, and 1 to 4 ingredients. It's $1.50 for each extra ingredient. They also have a bunch of HK style appetizers, mostly fried or curry flavor. We tried the fried tofu with fish paste on top, and that was decent. As for the cart noodle, I got the round rice noodles with satay soup, and with pork intestines, curry pork skin and beef meatballs. The soup is quite mild and has a hint of satay flavor, but over time it does soak up the flavor of the ingredients. Out of what I had in my bowl, the curry pork skin was probably the best since they really had the curry flavor cooked into the pork skin. Portion was okay. Considering that was cart noodles, they weren't very quick with the food. Could be because they were busy. Overall, food is solid, but not my favorite cart noodle place in the area. Option to consider for a cheap bowl of customizable noodles.

Very Hong Kong style, the shows that are played by the store are all cantonese dramas! Service is extremely quick, you order off a menu, that you pencil in whichever you might want. From the type of noodles, to the sauce, to the toppings. Add any sides to the list then you hand the paper off to the staff and they'll get cooking to your order. I never had to wait more then 10 minutes for my food. The noodles are always cooked well, broth is well made and the toppings are plentiful. The combination is always a good comfort food for me. I also ordered the chicken wings which were crispy and flavorful. The place has lots of parking just outside its doors, quick eats and fast service that certainly satisfies my brothy noodles craving!

This is a bit of a late review. I visited back in March…read more It's hard to find good Chiu Chow food in Vancouver, so when I heard about this place, I had to give it a try. I made a reservation just in case, but to my surprise, it wasn't too busy. The restaurant isn't fancy, but for me, it's all about the taste. When I arrived, I spoke with the chef (I presumed) and asked for recommendations. He suggested a few of their most popular dishes. I especially loved the oyster pancake, blanched squid, and the taro dish with sweet-and-sour sauce. The service was very friendly too, which made the dinner more enjoyable. If you never try Chiu Chow cuisine before, I definitely recommend checking this place out!
