    Grub: Chicken with Ginger sauce I personally like this type of chicken. It's smooth and simpler to eat. Hainanese Chicken This chicken is good, but I prefer the chicken type that goes with ginger sauce. I guess it would be the way it is cooked. Soya Fried Fish, I think Halibut If anyone out there has tried the dish, if it is not Halibut, please correct me on this, greatly appreciate it. Eggs and Shrimp Always a delight to have this dish. Yummy! REPEAT! Tong Choy (Morning Glory), English name goes by different names This type of green vegetable is normally used in hot pot dishes. I personally would NOT REPEAT this dish, but that's my personal opinion. It's good, but I am used to having this for Hot Pot winter evenings. Spare Ribs with Honey Garlic Always a favourite in my book of eats. Yummy! REPEAT dish!

    House Special Poached Chicken

    I am not sure why most of the Chinese Restaurants that are rated 3 stars are actually pretty good and worth at least a 4 star rating! My guess is that the main factor is their service, but in this case Wang Ji did not fail from that from the get go. Throughout the dinner we were served attentively and with courtesy. They also came on several occasions to offer fresh bone plates! This is my first time here, having been a residence in this neighbourhood for over 15 yrs. I totally ignored this place until recently. My God Sister treated us to a family gathering and had a Chinese family feast! Highlight items: Poached Chicken with Ginger, Garlic & Scallion Soy Sauce I have to say this dish alone will get a 4 star with no hesitation, the meat of the chicken is super moist and tender, full of flavour, and the skin is poached to perfection, ( in Cantonese Cuisine Chicken Skin is highly valued, but with today's health standards, we usually discard it ). The accompanying sauce is not the usual kind you would get in 99.9% of the restaurants when serving this dish, but they have made a signature sauce which actually I like a lot! If you are here with a smaller group just order 1/2 chicken and you will have plenty! Stir Fried Clams in Szechuan Pepper & Pepper Corn Amazing mixes of spice and savoury, the sauce is a killer!! I would highly recommend this go with an ice cold beer, it is perfectly stir fried and the clams are cooked well, I would love to see the clams to be more plump, but this is already 95% up there! Stir-fried Morning Glory with Bean Paste Sauce Perfectly seasoned, this popular vegetable is most suited when pared with stronger seasoning and still carries well, the Chef did a great job in not over cooking the delicate vegetable, which also shows the wok skills!! With all these solid dishes done well, no wonder this place is always packed and require reservations! (Lucky we live pretty close by!)!

    Great variety of Chinese Wang ji is a pleasantly weird place that has Taiwanese fried chicken, Shanghai Xiao long bao, hk style dimsum and king crab all under one roof. This place is easy to find and parking was abundant. The restaurant is cozy and the interior design was ... neat and rather welcoming. This was the first time we tried this restaurant and was definitely surprised by the extensive menu they have. Some of these items seemed rather out of place on the same menu, but we appreciate the variety. We were gonna order the beef noodles, but unfortunately, that's only in the lunch menu. (Till 3pm) That is actually kinda annoying since couple of the things we wanted were only on the lunch menu. We ended up ordering a seafood fried noodles, spicy fried clams and Taiwanese fried chicken. Yes.. all fried things that are difficult to make at home. They were all rather delicious, particularly the fried chicken. It's the chunky, boneless type which was juicy, flavorful with a good texture on the exterior. The flavor of clam was a bit overwhelming but I enjoyed it. And it's also a good thing that it's located next to a chatime. If some of dishes we too intense for your taste, you can always just grab something refreshing next door. Food 8/10 Service 8.5/10 Ambiance 8/10 Value 9/10

    The restaurant is located in the busy Garden City plaza in Richmond. Parking can be hard to find depending on the time of the day. The interior is well lit and clean. There is a "taste of home" wall sticker and some framed pictures. There is also ample seating but the restaurant was full by the time we finished our lunch. I highly recommend that you come and try the lunch combos. For about $12-14 after tips and tax, you'd get a main dish, rice (depending on the dish) and a honey green tea drink. What a good deal! The portion was decent as well and food was yummy. I really liked the cumin lamb. If you come for dinner (which I haven't yet), I would suggest coming with more people. As per the menu, dinner options are mostly entrees where you'd order rice on the side. Therefore, the more people you have in your party, the more dishes you can order!

    Small restaurant in the plaza on Blundell and Garden City. Went there at around 5:30 on a Saturday and got a small table without waiting, but the place was packed shortly afterwards. This place serves the regional Cantonese cuisine from Zhanjiang. The signatures dishes are their chicken. They have a big steamed chicken dish that you have to reserve and preorder, which we did not get. Instead, we ordered half of traditional free-range chicken, and that was delicious. Very flavorful and soft chicken. The coconut chicken soup was excellent too. We also ordered the fish roe and shrimp fried rice. The fish roe gave the fried rice a bright color, but didn't add much to the taste. Also got an order of the stir-fried halibut pieces, and that was good, and the ong choy was decent. For dessert, we got the gooey custard steamed buns. The buns tasted alright, but I've had better ones at other restaurants. Overall a pretty decent meal. The bill was $100, which is not cheap. The three of us finished all of the dishes. We might return to tried the signature steamed chicken.

    First time to eat at this Taiwanese restaurant located on Blundell road in Richmond. Location: great! Big parking lot with many parking spots outside the restaurant. It is in the same complex of IGA and shoppers drug mart. Food: great! The BBQ pork fried rice came first. It tasted very well that the chef cooked the rice well. The dish of braised butterfish tasted good and it was big. I loved the chicken fried rice cake. The two different pots of soup tasted great as well. Basically each dish of food was great. There was no MSG. I didn't feel thirsty after eating so much food!! Ambiance: great! The environment was quite comfortable giving us a "homey" feel. The interior design of the restaurant was not very fancy, but it was fair good enough for a family type of restaurant. Service: each server was friendly. I liked the one who told me which dishes were popular in the restaurant. Basically she went through the menu from the beginning to the end with me. I really appreciate her time and service. All of the servers treated us well that they always checked on our table and made sure we had been taken care of. Pricing: not expensive at all. I ate dinner with family and relatives with 8 adults and 2 kids. The bill was only$120 plus tip. Comparing to White Spot, Boston Pizza, and even some HK cafes, this restaurant was way cheaper.

    Soy sauce chicken
    Deborah S.

    Really enjoyed the soy sauce chicken, deep fried tofu with peppery salt and the salted egg yolk fried prawns. A little pricy but the quality was great.

    Deep fried chicken $7.50
    Jenifer V.

    Saw this restaurant the other day when I went to try out Ginger Indian Cuisine. It looked really busy so I figured it must be good to try out! I came back a few days later and I was disappointed. It started off well as we got seated quickly but for some odd reason they didn't give us menus. The table next to us was having their order taken by the waitress so we figured she saw us menu-less and would give us the menu after they were done. But nope! She took the menus and threw it on the empty table behind her. Luckily a few minutes later another waitress came by to ask if we got menus yet. Ordered our food: got two bowls of rice ($1.75 each), honey spareribs ($12.95), and deep fried chicken ($7.50). I thought the menu prices were were on the pricier side in general. It took awhile for the food to come but during the meantime I was observing everything else happening in the restaurant. The food for the table next to us came and the customer discovered a piece of metal (likely from what they use to clean pots/pans) in the food! She called a waitress to look so they took the dish away and came back later with the dish remade. The waitresses seemed to be scrambling around a lot and one time I asked for more tea and they just forgot about it. Finally my food came. The chicken was a bit salty but tasted good, the honey spareribs on the sweeter side but tasted good in its own way. The elderly lady next to me and her husband finished eating and she needed an extra napkin so she asked for it. The waitress took forever to bring the napkin and when she did she just kinda threw it on the table. Overall, service wasn't so great and I think the food semi-saved this review from a lower rating!

    Salty duck egg yolk coated deep fried shrimp. This was an amazing dish!
    Jennie Y.

    Had a really delicious dinner here last night! Portions were good, flavours on point and prices were reasonable. We opted to go with more Cantonese style dishes but their extensive menu includes typical dishes from Taiwan to Shanghai. Yellow chicken - Probably the best I ever had. Meaty, juicy and came with a side of dipping soy sauce. I requested for a small side of ginger and onion sauce that usually comes with the chicken for no additional charge. Eggplant - Tons of sauce and plump egg and cooked to perfection. The dish also included some tree mushrooms and carrots which was nice! Egg yolk shrimp - Omg the sweet and savory salty duck egg yolk coating on the shrimp was divine. Black pepper steak sizzling plate - Juicy and tender pieces of steak served with red and green peppers. Service was good and our teas were consistently refilled. Food came out quickly and hot. Everyone loved the food and we will definitely be back to try out the other items on their extensive menu.

    Basil shredded pork fried noodles
    Kasumi Y.

    October, 10, 2019 Went there for dinner. 2 of us tried their .. Pineapple shrimp fried rice... a lot of pineapple inside, shrimp was tender and tasty Sweet and sour pork... so crispy and tasty, but small portion for $17 Basil leaves shredded pork fried noodles.. they put a lot of meat and vegetables inside.. Services and food quality are better before, because of their boss and his family were eating beside us.

    tried this place for the first time and wasnt disappointed. its a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall in richmond, next to an awesome indian place. ordered the house special wang ji chicken. sliced beef brisket, coca cola spareribs, chicken nuggets, fried noodles, and stir fried lamb with cumin! wang ji chicken was delicious. very fragrant and flavourful. each bite was succulent. the soy /ginger dipping sauce complimented the dish so well. paired with rice and hot tea : winner! sliced beef brisket was likewise amazing. order was huge. each slice was tender with very good marbling! seasoned well and just enough sauce to bring out the flavour even more. chicken nuggets were like taiwanese nuggets! crispy on the outside, juicy and succulent on the inside. truly a chicken winning chicken dinner! fried noodles were standard fare. came out like shanghai noodles...bit greasy but flavourful. lamb cumin was so good! perfect seasoning of cumin and other spices...lamb cut used was hotpot style. so it was tender and was able to absorb the spices...awesome dish! my least fav was the coca cola ribs. it was tender and sliced into bite size pieces...but the sauce was too sweet and overpowering. after a few bites, diabetic coma follows...lol! service was quick and efficient. tea and water cups were refilled quick despite the shortage of staff. for dessert we trued the fried bun with condensed milk dip. standard fare but good! happy eating!

    Beef (thick) Noodle Soup
    Hubert Y.

    As promised, I came back for a third visit to try the Beef Noodle Soup. And, it did not disappoint. The beef were really tender. Noodles (thick), nice and chewy. And the broth was rich, flavourful and not salty. The vegetables could be more cooked. Overall, the beef noodle soup and service during this visit was better than expected.

    Wang Ji Restaurant 9100 Blundell, Richmond.  $12.60 What ? Are you serious. Mao Pao Tofu, rip off ! Container is 5 " across. Only half full
    Lyle B.

    If I could give this restaurant 0 (zero) stars I would ! I paid $12.60 for take out "Mao Pao Tofu". The 2 pictures show what I got. The container is more for left overs or a small soup. It is 5 " across and slightly more than half full. And 40% of that is liquid. This is cuisine robbery ! I use the word cuisine loosley. Liquid Gold maybe. This is the way it was received. I have not touched the contents. I immediately complained, saying " If you can not give me more than this, I will not be returning." . They replied " No we can not, this is the portion we give. If you want you can order something different". I replied " Really ? O.K. bye bye. See you on Yelp. Yikes ! What a RIP OFF ! ! Do not dine here, unless you have lots of money to burn !

    Wow, this place is a GEM, I am so in love with the Rolls, I visited 2 days in a row, had to get…read moresome more rolls in before we leave BC, which was so sad! Hei Hei Rice Roll is legit good, totally recommend, even my daughter too, I thought of her ( since she LOVES rice roll and couldn't make it on this trip with me) while enjoying these roll but when I shared with her the photos and mention that we will go back here with her- she already visited. She said it was so good! Hei Hei Rice Roll is located at the Richmond Public Market, oh wow - this place is really popular, on the 2nd visit I was the first in line then the line wasn't so long but while waiting for our order, the line got super long. I was lucky I didn't wait long in line. Best to arrive early. I am not sure what the secret to the rice roll but Wow, it's so thin, silky, smooth texture with the toppings, so great together. The last 2 times we had rice roll with my daughter at Portland and Seattle- followed per Instagram reels- those did not even compare to these rolls. My first visit I got the combo which is the best deals, starts at $15.50 but depends on what you select for the selection for rice rolls and congee. I got the pork & preserved egg congee, shrimp, mushroom, pork rice roll. The 2nd visit I got the combo again, with liver & preserved egg congee, scallop and shrimp rice rolls, but I got my order wrong for the roll- they missed the shrimp. fyi-I found out that bean sprout, corn, toppings are free! Both combo came out to $17. super cheap! Cash only, they take USD but its the same dollar $ value. I wish they take credit cards, hehe. & the Verdict: Yummy, the congee hits the spot for comfort food, loved how it is cooked and they add peanuts too. Love the packet of sauce for the rice rolls, the umami-ness, so good. Best to eat it hot and fresh! Don't forget to ask for chili sauce, to add that extra spicy kick! For now, I am not sure I'll ever find a spot that is closest to Hei Hei for my congee and rice roll fix until I get to visit Richmond, BC again.

    No frills and worth the hype!…read more Our family of six arrived at 12 pm on a Tuesday. We waited approximately 25 minutes which is not bad at all considering how popular this small restaurant is. My mom is vegetarian and my girls had a wonton noodle soup lunch at another spot down the street. So we ordered a few things mainly for my dad, husband and myself: 1) Platter with barbecue pork and chicken (雙拼叉燒香油雞) 2) Half-order of roast duck (半隻脆皮燒鴨) 3) late of roast pork (燒肉) 4) Bowl of rice (一碗米飯) We cleared everything. The meats were juicy, tender, and flavorful. My girls are usually indifferent to Cantonese barbecued meats but they tried it and enjoyed everything as well. This is definitely a place to repeat if and when we revisit Vancouver.

    This was my family and wife's first stop in Vancouver and frankly, nothing has topped it yet…read more You're getting some of the best HK BBQ possible. They ran out of duck but do not fret because the soya chicken is where it's at. The soya chicken is incredibly tender, even the breast meat is tender. Secondly, it's perfectly marinated and if you dab a little of their homemade soy sauce, it's even better. Eat this with rice and you'll never want another meal in your life. This was easily our favorite dish for the place. Bbq pork and crispy pork are both spot on as well. They give generous and juicy cuts and the crispy pork is, well, crispy. The skin is a nice crunch and the meat is juicy, what more could you ask for? I still salivate and dream of the meat here and I wish we had something like this back in LA cause I don't know who else would make soy chicken as good as here. Cash only so come prepared! If you're a US tourist, they take USD as well but canadian is still the better deal.

    Further to my lunch experience a couple of months ago which wasn't too good, i decided to give…read moretheir breakfast another chance. I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers!
