go to aberdeen mall at the aberdeen stop along the canada line. plenty of places to choose at aberdeen. that’s my usual go-to solution.

The hole in the wall places are actually behind #3 road. What kind of food are you into? There’s a good selection of authentic Chinese food along the Canada Line. You can try Shanghaiese food, Korean BBQ, hot spicy Sichuan cuisine or Vietnamese Pho. On a rainy day like this i would recommend a nice bowl of beef noodle soup by the Chinese restaurant next to Starbucks on Ackryod st. I don’t even know the English name of the place cuz its so Chinese la!

It depends on the kind of food you want. A good bet is Aberdeen Centre, which is half a block off No 3 on Cambie. Alexandria Road, which is a block before Alderbridge, is loaded with tons of great restaurants too.

+1 more for Aberdeen, with the specific recommendation of Guu there, though. It is merely my favorite of several worthy options, both sit-down and food fair.

Brighouse stop. Walk down to No. 3Rd. & Westminster Highway. Walk up the flight of stairs behind the TD Bank. Next to London Drugs are Charcoal, a great Japanese restaurant with many many specialty rolls, and my favourite dim sum place, Empire Seafood.

There is a FANTASTIC Japanese place, Sakura Sushi (www.sakurasushi.ca) fairly close to Brighouse. Its a tiny tiny place but its the best sushi place in that part of Richmond.

If you’re in the mood for some grease. There’s a pretty good greasy spoon by the name of Bob’s Sub, literally next door to Sakura.

There’s a Tropika (Malaysian) in Aberdeen Centre, a Thai House across the street from Lansdowne mall, and there’s a little Vietnamese place by the name of Hue Cafe about 2 blocks south of Brighouse which has some fairly decent Vietnamese subs and pho.

Go to Charcoal Sushi & BBQ Restaurant!

I agree with everyone who’s suggested Aberdeen Centre. There are great sit-down restaurants or check out their food court, which completely redefines what you’d usually think of “food court dining.” I have a few favourite spots if you do decide to visit Aberdeen.

Also surprised nobody’s mentioned Alexandra Road, which is Richmond’s “Food Street”. There are 200+ Asian restaurants along the three blocks of Alexandra Road, which is about a 5 minute walk from Lansdowne Canada Line Station. Try Jade Seafood Restaurant for dim-sum (must have dish: mushroom dumpling!) or Cattle Cafe for a funky Hong Kong style cafe…the list goes on!

I also really like Dinesty Chinese Restaurant & Suhang, both of which are within 5 minutes of Lansdowne Station (and within 2 minute of my office, so you may see me there!)

I’m including links to some useful docs – hope they help!

As long as I’m hungry whatever place I got along the Canada line I enjoy eating with every bite of mine. I love eating and it is my passion thats why I gained a lot of weight I am not choosy when it comes to food as long as it is delicious and healthy I’ll go with it.

Thanks all! Jen Watkiss (World Wide Watercooler) and I went with Charcoal. I’ll have to try all your other suggestions next time!
