    Got take out for once. Same amazing flavors. Good size portion -- the chicken fed me for three meals! Friendly staff.

    First time to try their eggplant with tofu . And it did  not disappoint me  .

    The BEST Sweet and Sour Pork . Fast service . Although the restaurant is an old building and interior is a bit outdated , they maintained its cleanliness .

    Curry beef brisket
    Nancy L.

    This review is in between 3-4 stars. Mui Garden has been around for many many years. There is limited parking stalls on the ground floor but you can always go up the ramp for more parking on level 2. Don't expect any service from Mui Garden and I've always found the servers to be rather rude (yet they still expect their tips at the end...LMAO). I'm usually here for the exact same dishes: 1) Curry beef brisket - at $18, the portion was on the small side. There were only a couple pieces of beef. However, the taste itself is amazing and I'm already missing the taste as i write this post. The curry differs from other similar restaurant and I've been trying to find a cheaper alternative throughout the years but have had no luck finding one that is even comparable to Mui's version. Their version is creamy and has got a distinct taste to it. 2) Yang Chow fried rice - at $16, again, the portion was on the smaller side too when compared to competitors. I'm not a fan of fried rices but I can totally eat a plate of Mui's Yang Chow fried rice by myself! Mui has increased the prices by quite a lot since the last time I was here and I no longer think it's that affordable considering the portion they gave you. Plus I always have to deal with their poor customer service and it's not the first time that they'd throw the bill and changes at you. However, due to the near-"mandatory" tipping culture that we have in North America... I don't even want to go on this rant again.

    Used to be one of the top restaurants for curry dishes, now sadly it's just less than ok I tried the Burnaby location and it seems to be better

    Great value for a casual family meal, lots of choices. We chose the 5 dishes meal (includes free pot of soup, rice and dessert) and the portions are generous and everything was piping hot and delicious. We also ordered iced lemon teas and milk teas - all excellent. Ordered: - honey garlic spare ribs - garlic pea tips (+$2) (so tender!) - curry beef brisket - minced pork with eggplant and silky egg tofu - braised rock cod with tofu in hotpot - 6 chicken satay skewers

    Day 6 of posting Yelp Reviews that rhyme I recently visited Mui Garden in Richmond, BC And let me tell you, it was a treat for me The curry beef brisket, oh so tasty The fried salmon head, oh so easy The Hainan chicken was amazing as well I could eat it every day, I can never dwell On how delicious it was, it was such a treat I'll definitely be returning, that's a feat The service was very fast, I must admit I was in and out, no time to sit There were lots of people, but that's no surprise Mui Garden is a popular spot, that's no lies They only accept debit or cash, that's fine I don't mind, as long as the food is divine And at Mui Garden, it certainly is I give it a full five star rating, no quizzes!

    I was recommended to try this restaurant's beef curry so I stopped by and ordered #3 - Beef Curry Brisket on Rice. The curry was good and had a really nice coconut flavour to it. It didn't look like a lot of food or beef overall, but it was more than enough for one meal. The briskets were nice cuts of meat as well. Note that there was a giant piece of potato with it and there wasn't really any flavour in the middle due to the size.

    Hong Kong style cafe restaurant on Minoru Blvd and Firbridge Way. It's very close to the busy intersection of No. 3 Rd. and Westminster Hwy, but you'd never know the restaurant is there if you just stuck to the main Rds. It's in a small building that has some parking up front and another 20 or so parking spots on the roof of the building. Went on a weekend for dinner and the place was crowded. Waited about 5-10 minutes for a table. Mid size restaurant, dated decor. The menu is large like most HK style cafes. You have noodles, rice, pasta, curry, and traditional Cantonese dishes as well. For dinner, you can get entree combos where you get 3 or more entree dishes and they'll throw in the daily soup and rice. We got the 4 dish combo, and tried their Hainan chicken, walnut shrimp, cod and tofu pot, and salt and pepper pork. All of them tasted pretty decent. Nothing stood out as being out of the ordinary delicious, but everything tasted as they were supposed to taste. Portions are not huge, but for the price it's fine. The three of us end up finishing most of the food with a little bit of leftover. Price was $80-90.

    Beef Brisket Curry Noodle Soup

    We had not planned to eat at Mui Garden Restaurant, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Initially, on our last day in Canada, we had planned to get dim sum and attempted to eat at a few places nearby; but we learned that it was Family Day and every dim sum place was packed. Needing sustenance before hitting the road we just decided on nearby Mui Garden because we were already in the area, the place wasn't at all crowded and they had Malaysian food! With that said, nothing else matters, but the Beef Curry! You have to get the beef curry! It's amazing and one of the best curries I've had. I had the Beef Brisket Curry Noodle Soup while my boyfriend had the Beef Brisket Curry with Rice. Curry had a thick, creamy texture with lots of flavor and the brisket was incredibly tender and juicy! YUM! On a cold day I was craving some noodle soup, so loved that I could enjoy the Beef Brisket Curry with rice noodles and a broth mixed with the curry, just what I needed and more. The beef brisket curry had yukon gold potatoes with, so was wonderful over a mound of rice! We weren't expecting much with Mui Garden Restaurant, but it served fantastic beef brisket curry with lots of other Chinese and Malaysian dishes. Just note that it's either cash only or Canadian debit. Private parking lot is located right out front and is behind a shopping complex's garage. Don't judge a book by its cover, especially in this instance. Mui Garden proved to be better than expected.

    Mui Garden Last visit 3/29/19 After a few visits Pork, carrot & kidney bean soup (Chinese style). Perfectly salted, very clean tasting. Surprising since most Chinese restaurants the clear soups tend mild and underwhelming; this is in the tradition of the long simmering, more intensely flavoured soups. 3.75-4 stars. The Malaysian style beef brisket curry: very mild (non spicy) but delicious; the beef itself is very lean, gristle & fat free. The curry is very similar to Deer Garden's, not quite as coconutty but every bit as good (and large... We can never finish and always have about half leftover, at either restauarant). 4.5 stars. Stir fried fish (cod) with veggies (gai lan) was also spot on; fresh, perfectly cooked fish with fresh veggies (gai lan this time, 4.25-4.5 stars. We actually ordered pea tips (which are delicious and buttery here 4.5 stars) but as they were sold out, they graciously allowed us to add fish to gai lan. We ordered the dinner for 2 (you pick 2 dishes and they include rice and soup of the day).  We added 6 chicken satay sticks, which were also delicious and properly cooked (maybe a hair over, but with chicken you want slightly overcooked vs slightly under); it was nice having an entire plate with peanut sauce, fresh cucumber and pineapple. Satay sticks 4.25 stars. The dinner set also included dessert; most places offer hot red bean 'soup', which I don't care for (my wife does, but at most places it's too bland to enjoy); Mui Garden served us a sweet bean curd dessert, which she loved, and I found pleasant. 4 stars. Total bill for 2 was $55.40 after tax, before tips, but we had loads of leftovers. Pretty good value, and solid food (been here a few times, so far consistently good. Unfortunately only took pics last visit) Parking is a bit of a pain (rooftop parking is cramped, and there's very little street level parking. Overall 9.0/10, 4.5 stars.

    It's a staple if you live in the area and like curry noodles. The consistency is always the same and very savoury

    There is a good Malaysian food spot in Richmond but I wanted to give this mom and pop spot a try to…read moregive an opportunity for new places. However, I was a bit disappointed but not too much as prices were decent depending on what you get. We got the chicken laksa, Nasi goreng, Mongolian chicken, and kuih lapis. Chicken laksa is the ideal order as the soup is decent and the pricing is fair. It is not the best as the soup didn't carry much flavor and the noodles were a bit on the softer side. It was filling however. Nasi goreng is solid. The vegetables felt frozen reheated and wilted, but at least the cucumbers were fresh. The amount of shrimp, squid, and fish cakes was dismal. Flavor profile is good. The Mongolian chicken is okay. It's not fried as the batter is quite soft. It is saucy which my friends were craving. I enjoyed the flavor profile of this one though. The dessert is good. Kuih Lapis is a colorful dessert so it appealed to me in both taste and presentation. One red flag I noticed is that I heard beep after beep of microwave sounds. It's as if all the dishes they prepared well in advance and just reheat for us, plus they walled off the kitchen and the back completely, giving the impression that they want to hide something. Most renowned places won't hide the back like that, as you can at least take a peek of what's cooking behind the scenes in most places. Service is good as they refill complimentary tea throughout our dining experience. Pay at the front for the bill.

We tried: Nasi Lemak rendang lamb - one of my fav dishes at malaysian places. The coconut rice was excellent. Came with the usual fried sardines and peanuts - no surprises here. The sambal was not spicy at all which was disappointing. The rendang lamb was sadly dry. The sauce was not bad but not spiced enough. The meat was just too dry. 3/5. Assam Laksa - pretty rare to find this dish at Malaysian places in town. Sadly this one is disappointing. I suspect they dont sell much of this. They use canned sardines and canned pineapple. The broth didnt have any depth of flavour and lacked the deep umami and funk I expected from a good bowl of this. This is at best, a rough approximation of this dish. There are better versions in town, but truthfully I have yet to find one anywhere near the quality I had in Malaysia. 2/5. Char Kway Teow - excellent. Beautiful char and "wok hei" and noodles maintained a great texture. They do use regular chinese ho-fun that is abundant around here rather than the wider versions, for those who care. I wish they gave more fish cake slices though. Only 2-3 in the entire dish but lots of lap cheong and shrimp. One of the better versions of this dish Ive had in town. 4.5/5. Sambal Kang Kong - also excellent. Nice cook on the veg and char flavour. Also comes out in a sizzling iron pot which im sure helps. I just wish they added more fermented shrimp paste and more chilis. 4.5/5. Satay - beef and chicken. Not bad. Had a bit of char from the grill and meat was cooked nicely. I wish they were smokier. peanut sauce was good. 4/5. Dessert - taro pandan layer cake - pretty good. nice texture, strong on the pandan and coconut but could not taste the taro. 3.5/5. Its in a little strip mall with only a few parking spots but there is free street parking around. Overall, they seem to excel at dishes using a wok. I would come back, and would like to try some other classics. Their menu is huge; not sure if that's a good thing or not yet.

Super nice family owned business originally from Ipoh, Malaysia known for good food. Ambiance is quaint with lots of pictures and references to Malaysia.

The heat from the spice, curry leaves and work hey was the best I've had in Washington and BC. Taro ring- so crispy and satiating. The taro is very flavorful and a great combination with the squid, shrimp and other savory goodies in the middle of the taro ring. Asam laksa- Penang style chewy noodle soup in super savory and umami fish broth with tamarind, pineapple and shrimp paste. Such a beautiful balance of slightly spicy, sour, and sweet broth. Yum!
