(Sn: The constant opening and closing of the door is a bit off putting sitting right by the entrance, but I'm not docking a star because of that) Just basing my rating on the food alone. We Ordered: XLB - pretty good. My mom thought they didn't have enough ginger in the vinegar (but personally it's a mute point for me since if the XLB is good enough I don't add ginger) I enjoyed them. Nice and soupy just the way I like them. Braised Beef noodle soup w/ Kuan noodle - great noodle and beef texture, broth could be a bit more flavourful, but honestly not bad. Popcorn chicken - it's lacking depth in seasoning, and a little overdone on the dark side of things, but pretty good otherwise. Overall, everything was pretty good, just not a solid 5 stars in my books.

Heard from my family who lives here in Vancouver that this place was good and usually very busy. Came around 4pm on a Friday and there was a lot seating. Food came quick and which was great so we didn't have to worry about not having enough time to head to the airport. Love their noodle soups! Portion size was huge! Ordered the beef shank noodle soup with ramen and there was like 4-5 beef shanks that were huge! They definitely do not skimp on their meat and it was so tender! Broth was perfect on a cloudy rainy day with a bit of a spicy kick!

Also, my Taiwanese friend said this was the best in Richmond so I think that's a good sign. The friends I have brought here have also enjoyed it and would come back. The food comes out pretty promptly, hot and fresh. You can't go wrong with ordering one of their beef noodle soups. I also like their deep fried items, having tried their chicken nuggets and squid tentacles. I want to try their other appetizers as well. Their menu is quite extensive and also has a dim sum section. I notice a lot of customers ordering their drinks too, although I have not tried any myself. Service is very good and attentive. They are not short staffed here at all. The staff are always refilling your tea, which is delicious. I will definitely be back. The restaurant is a decent size, so even if it is busy, there shouldn't be too long a wait. Plus you can add yourself to the waitlist online before arriving, if needed. Since it is in a strip mall, parking is free and always available and you can do some grocery shopping in the area afterwards.

We came in a group of 3 and had to wait about 10-15 minutes to be seated when they just opened at 12 PM. I ordered a Tripe Beef Noodle Soup with the flat noodles and they were delicious! I also got a four seasons tea. It was refreshing and nice to have with my meal. My friends both got a Beef Shank Noodle Soup, which they also enjoyed. If you are looking for a hearty meal while in the Richmond area, this is a must stop!

For those that don't know, Chang Fen is a silky and soft steamed rice noodle that's made in a sheet, filled, and then rolled up and served with a savory soy sauce and chili oil. Classic fillings include shrimp, beef, pork, and veggies, but there are many other combinations, and Yin Ji introduced me to my new favorite, pork and olive! We also had to enjoy a "frozen HK milk tea" with it! Frozen here = chilled and it's served in a big bowl of ice so you don't dilute the rich flavor of the tea! As a non Chinese speaker in a rich Chinatown, service and communication can be challenging but that was not the case here at all! The staff was so welcoming, happily spoke English and helped us where necessary and made the visit incredible! It started because we saw signs saying cash only, but had not exchanged USD, and they quickly told us CC was welcome with an added fee, which we happily paid. I'm so glad I found Yin Ji and made the trip to get here during my time in Vancouver. If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, especially breakfast and lunch staples, this is a must!

This place is the real deal if you are looking for authentic Cantonese food. From the moment you…read morewalk in, everyone is speaking Cantonese and it immediately feels legit. They also give you free hot tea, which is always a huge plus and sets the tone right away. I ordered the beef and shrimp rice noodle roll along with the Hong Kong style milk tea. The rice roll was honestly perfect. Super smooth, delicate texture, great balance of beef and shrimp, and seasoned exactly how it should be. I genuinely cannot think of anything they could have done better with it. It tasted just like what you would expect from a proper Cantonese spot. The Hong Kong style milk tea was hot and strong. Definitely more on the bold side, so if you like that deep tea flavor, you will love it. It paired really well with the rice rolls. Service was fast and everyone was very friendly, which made the experience even better. This is one of those places you come to when you want something authentic, comforting, and done right. I would absolutely come back and order the same thing again.

Noodle and Hainan chicken food stall at the Admiralty Centre food court. Food court was busy during…read moreweekday lunch hour, and this stall was doing decent business. They use electronic beepers to let you know when food is ready. We got the 2 person Hainan chicken rice combo for $37. Waited about 10 min for the food. The combo included half a Hainan chicken, 2 bowls of the flavored rice, two bowls of chicken soup (with date, peanut, tasted of lotus roots), and a bowl of yu choy with oyster sauce. Definitely enough food for 2 people. The chicken was pretty decent, had the subtle aroma and sufficient softness/smoothness. My favorite out of the combo was the flavored rice. A little bit grease and salt helps a long way. The vegetable was good. The soup could use a little more salt, but wasn't bad. Overall, a good food court meal.

My only feedback would be is if they had some photos on their menu to be more clear as to what the dishes are and how they are prepared.

Decent Taiwanese spot in Richmond area. We usually go to Memory Corner for Taiwanese but decided to…read moretry something new. What's appealing here is that their Instagram advertises daily specials so you can get some dishes for a great discount (like 40% off). We tried the braised combo (pork ear, pork intestines, fish cake), Taiwanese egg wrap, braised pork sauce rice with deep fried pork chop, and yam taro mochi balls. The braised combo is pretty solid - I didn't really like the funkiness to the intestines (I generally enjoyed it in barbecue settings) but the fish cake was fantastic. I also liked the texture of the pork ears. The Taiwanese egg wrap was a bit tasteless, so I wouldn't recommend. Braised pork sauce rice is the lu ruo fan which is a large portion with seaweed, bean sprouts, and soup on the side. Pork chop was flavorful and juicy but not crispy batter, which is okay. Yam taro mochi balls were sweet and chewy. I don't like taro but I loved this dessert! Service is okay. They give a water jug for self pour but the water jug was of questionable cleanliness. The specials were not discounted so we called it out and we weren't told that we had to put the order with a server, not the QR code, so it was a strange interaction. They ended up honoring the discount. Also, they shut down ordering 1 min before 10:30pm - guess they didn't want more money as we wanted to order 1 more dish and they preemptively told the kitchen to close. Sure it's fine no big deal, it was a lot of food.

Must order: Wonton noodle soup Shrimp dumplings Their braised beef brisket is also excellent Notable Mention: Fried fish ball (the soul of this dish is that "clam dipping sauce") Service is fast and efficient, very HK style.

We came at the perfect time since a line formed after we got seated The tea was served in a lovely big pot too, it honestly felt like I was in China again. I'd been wanting to try some Xian specialities: particularly liangpi and paomo. My group shared two liangpi (the classic and the sesame, these were around 8-9 dollars each and you could probably eat one as a meal or share with someone as an appetizer/side), a biang biang noodle in Xian pork vinegar soup as well as a lamb paomo. Both liangpis which are cold chewy noodles were flavourful and had a great texture (I think I'd recommend classic if it's your first time!) What blew me away was the biang biang soup, the pork pieces were generous and the vinegarness of the soup was very unique. The paomo had vermicelli and lots of soaked bread pieces and lamb: much more gentle and lamb flavoured. Overall, portions were huge and the bill came out to around $55 for everything which was more than reasonable! Note that if your bill is under $30, they only take cash and if over, debit is an option but no credit. I'll definitely be back to this spot ‍

I shared the liang pi, biang biang noodles, and a lamb noodle soup. It was a lot of carbs but I think the flavours for each dish were quite different and made the experience very enjoyable. I definitely recommend getting the liang pi and biang biang noodles. The liang pi is perfect for the summer as it's served cold (it's also slightly spicy) with cucumbers. The biang biang noodles had a really delicious sauce and the texture of the noodles made it stand out. It's very wide and had a nice chew (this might become one of my favourite noodle dishes)! The restaurant has a lot of space and can accommodate larger groups as well as individual diners. Service is quick and the staff calls out the order to each other so it's a very lively environment.

There's plenty of parking outside and the restaurant has a lovely decor of what I think were cherry blossom trees.

The broth is so flavorful and the beef is always fall-off-the-bone tender. Just a heads up, they do run out of the ribs so try to get here early if you would like to try it. The last couple of times we've come, the beef ribs were a bit smaller than they used to be, but they were awesome about making up for it. Last visit they threw in an extra rib, and today they gave us this massive extra bone loaded with tendon. I loved it. My wife was too shy to use her hands to eat it, so hey, bonus piece for me! Aside from the food, the service here is amazing. Everyone is super attentive and friendly. The vibe is really comforting to, it's way more spacious than your typical cramped pho restaurant. Parking is free during lunch, but you have to register your car if you're here after 6pm. It's cash or debit only.
