Outside by their big garbage bin, there were a few rats hanging around look for food. Food was decent. Plenty of parking.

I would not come back until the city does a thorough inspection and remediation.

We were looking for a place on Christmas Eve, we find this place by mistake... we were the only…read morenon-Asian people , but it wasn't really a problem . The food was nice, we got it quickly. The only thing that I didn't like was the wings, they have two wings in the combo... I don't know why I didn't like it, because when I was there like almost any table order wings so it's probably they're signature or something. So maybe it's me it's the first time that I left wings on the plate... (1 of 2...) Other than that nice Christmas, live music, nice stage with a decoration.

Late night options in Richmond have become sparse nowadays, but thanks to some local insight, my…read moregroup of dining companions and I found ourselves at Spark after midnight during the midweek. Parking is normally a hassle during the daytime, but at night it's a breeze. Strangely, there was still a sign up for paid parking, yet signing an iPad near the bar will somehow negate the charge for 3 hours. Just outside the door, there are also "guards" who patrol the lot on foot (#1) and many cigs are disposed of in the process. It's likely they'll end up at the bar patrolling their own drinks instead. Most Richmond nightlife is very Chinese and Spark is no exception. The staff is multilingual, but most patrons here are Mandarin speaking. Folks have known the place to be a haven for karaoke and nightly food specials, but we were here for cocktails and cocktails only. There was plenty of space and abundant seating in very intimate lighting with a prominent stage. Coming here on a Tuesday, it was a relaxing evening. The wait staff was prompt, and most of our drinks came out quickly. The osmanthus oolong ($19) was semi-refreshing, but not nearly sweet as the white rabbit ($17) or berrily ever after ($18). The moscow mule ($17) looked decent, though I wonder if the zombie ($22) was worth it. The times to be here are absolutely the weekend. All weekend they have live music and more food specials. I think it would be an interesting time to take advantage of one of their private only areas for group time, and while I suspect the food is mid at best, I will likely be back to sample everything they do well. I look forward to this, along with some really quality amateur singing (#1). ____________ (#1) This might be one of the only venues that offer public karaoke

This is my first visit to the Richmond location for lunch. It was a solid meal but I enjoyed the…read moreBurnaby location more. For starters, they did not have the diamond tier available and certain items were not available in the gold tier (ie fried rice, spaghetti, tomato dough drop soup and cold noodles). I was slightly disappointed, but we decided on the gold tier. Service was alright. We ordered our food and waited for it to arrive. Our server did not stop by to clear dirty plates until we were about to pay our bill. Skewers and hot pot did taste good for what was available. There was enough variety to keep things interesting. Lastly, I enjoyed not having to cook my food. There were plenty of parking spots available during the weekday lunch hours. Overall, I prefer the Burnaby location more.

They only offer Gold and Diamond courses. Actually I visited here a few times, and recently they seem to offer this 2 course. We started to order beer tower and bucket bliss(Korean soju with lime juice) We tried many skewers including lamb, beef, chicken, pork and more. As usual, lamb was the best. From vegetable, I love baked eggplant. And we could get hot pot and I chose the collagen broth which was excellent. From small buffet section, I got marinated clam which was very good. And crispy chicken skin was delicious, too. However, Fried rice was terrible. I don't usually comment too negtive, however, fried rice was one of the worst dish. Overall, we enjoyed food and drink. Some foods are hit and miss. It is a good place for gathering..

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Honestly, the best hu tieu I've ever had, and I've been thinking…read moreabout this place since I've had it. I'm going to start with the sucky thing first - the parking SUCKS! It's not necessarily their fault, but the location could be better. There's like only a few allotted parking stalls so be aware of that. otherwise, this restaurant is lovely. amazing, attentive service, and delicious food! Super chill vibes when I arrived, I think it was after 3pm. The location is a spacious restaurant, clean, and there were people ordering takeout. You know a restaurant is good when the menu is small. I ordered the signature dry noodles, and my mom ordered the seafood noodles with soup. the broth is truly what makes this. Perfect balance of salty, with a very umami-rich broth, and just rich in pork. This broth is just what makes this dish so mezmerizing. The meats that were provided in this bowl were also tender and delicious. No complaints there. Noodles were fresh, and definitely a good portion. I loved that there was a little side bar for their condiments - help yourself to limes, chili oil, hoisin sauce, etc! yes please. The seafood noodles were also good - no complaints there. slightly sweet, light, and umami-rich... not to mention, huge servings too! We ordered a side of the pork bones/meat that was used for the soup and it was so good! Super tender and you could tell that the pork was really cooked in the broth. This was a ton of meat (we could not eat this all). I really like this place. They do their dishes solid, and are intentional about serving fresh, quality food that is really warming to the bones. You just leave feeling happier ;) would absolutely come again!

We arrived during lunch hour on a Saturday and half of the restaurant was full. Surprised there wasn't more people as the restaurant has a good amount of free parking available too! Amongst the two of us we tried the appetizers taster platter and the signature original rice noodle soup. The appetizer platter had good variety of appies from salad roll, spring roll, fried wonton and fish cake. The signature original rice noodle soup was a popular choice across many tables. It has a really nice garlic flavour to the soup and had shrimp, quail eggs, pork, and liver in the noodle soup - it was good but I noticed one of the liver was a bit red and undercooked after eating part of it. The staff apologized. Hu Tieu Hung Phat seems to have a nice variety of Vietnamese dishes so I would definitely visit again!
