Emily Food

A wonderful center for Chinese food and culture. I love going to the food court for Hong Kong soup noodles, Taiwanese rice noodles, fried food, fried chicken, skewers, milk tea and buns, Korean food, and wheel cakes. There are 2 big Chinese dinner places where you can buy combo meals for yourself or big platters to bring home to eat with family. They sell crabs! And you can choose the cooking and seasoning style. I noticed a good team of custodial members who are diligent at their job. They clean the tables and chairs in the dining area. There is a butcher and so much groceries sold there. On other levels they have a few tutoring organizations, a daycare center, travel agency, bank and stockbroker, herbal medicines. Free parking.

Richmond Public Market is an unexpected old school gem that is central to its community. Food court above is topped with vendors selling delicious Chinese and Asian-centric food. Below, produce stalls, jewellery, fashion, snacks, and all you can find. All of this tucked away in the city, surrounded by residential condos and other smaller plazas that it's patrons resides and also frequents.

Went to this place and it was quite crowded. There were line ups for food and the wait could be long but the overall price of the food were much cheaper than other food court. The taste was also good too. We had the rice rolls and they were good and had lots of option to choose from. The 12$ crabs were such a good deal.

Foodcourt isn’t as great as other reviewers make it sound. Out of 10 stalls that were open on Saturday afternoon 3 were selling bubble tea, and another 3 were selling mixed rice. And to be more precise, very Americanized mixed rice: deep-fried everything, chicken thighs the size of your palm, ribs, no other vegetables but broccoli, no tofu, no steamed egg :( Chee cheong fun from one of the stalls looked like the laziest version of the dish I’ve ever seen in my life because they don’t bother making the actual rolls and just serve you steamed rice skin with the ingredients on top. Although despite the appearance it was quite alright. Bring cash if you’re going there, a lot of vendors don’t accept cards for some reason. Or go to the foodcourt at Crystal Mall instead if you’re looking for some better Asian fare at affordable prices.

This place takes you back into time and gives you vibes of Asia. There are a number of small shop stalls with various products (though at time of this review many shops have unfortunately closed down due to the toll of #covid). The indoor shopping spaces are tight, and also not keep the cleanest. The main vendors are the meat/seafood and produce ones. And on the second floor is the predominately Asian food court which keeps customers coming to this place. There are some great take out deals and wonderful amount of choices. The Richmond Public Market is easily accessible by transit and is a short walk from the Skytrain. There is garage parking, but take note that different floors have different lengths of parking time. Lower floors 1 hour and upper is 2 hours. #covid #letsguide
