Paul’s Kitchen

Ate here since I was little and back then their shop was at Parker Place. I highly recommend their delicious meat Patty and egg with rice and soya sauce. Owner is friendly and funny, they know my mother for a long time. Good go-​to lunch place.

Loved their all-​day Hong Kong style breakfast. I picked steak and it was sizable and tasty. Ordered the famed chicken wings and they were also very delicious.
Can’t find anything with this kind of price-​performance ratio in the US, not in Seattle, and not in San Francisco either.

As much as I wanted to like this place, I was disappointed. I’m all for supporting small family businesses.
However, the food wasn’t that great but for the price, yes, it’s a good deal, given the portion sizes. You can get a free hot drink with your meal.
And, the wait time was a little too long. Pass the 25 min mark.

Great price for decent food. Their mince rice is sooooo tasty but bad on your heart.

Great place to grab a quick eat. This place is like a space-​time warp to a Hong Kong resto café. From the two-​tone green paint job, epic photo painting of the Hong Kong skyline at night, to the tacky brown venetian blinds.
The food is good. People raved about how cheap it is, but I think it is about average for Richmond. I just liked the style. Really hole-​in-​the-​wall. The all-​day breakfast options are very cheap, averaging about $ 3.75 each. If you splurge, it might cost you $ 5. lol
The lemon iced tea was excellent. There were 3 thick slices of lemon in my tea, and they didn’t skimp on the tea flavor and the sugar.
The hours are a bit odd. They are closed Monday afternoon and all Tuesdays. They take a break every afternoon from 3:30−5pm. I understand that this is common in Asia, so it seems to make it more authentic. I just wished that they opened later than 7pm. I could totally see myself coming in at 9pm for a late night munchie.

Paul’s Kitchen is a place for cheap eats, fast food and take out. It is located underneath Superstore in Richmond. The restaurant is a dive and rather small, but for less than $ 3 bucks you can enjoy a quick breakfast of ham and egg sandwich with a hot drink of milk tea, coffee, etc.
Not really sure why you need to reserve a seat here because people are here for a quick bite or for take out. Traffic is constantly flowing.
Iced Milk Tea and Lemon Iced Tea: both are pretty tasty and is no less than any sit down café around town.

Black Bean Beef Pan Fried Noodles: It is steaming hot off the wok. I like it saucy and smothering my noodles. The beef is tender and ingredients are fresh.
If we are ever lazy and don’t feel like cooking, this is one of our go to places. Only downside of it is the pathetic parking at Superstore. Good luck fighting for a spot!

This place is my favorite! The women who works at the cash is so nice and friendly. I always get the satay beef with vermicelli. Their lemon tea and coffee is so good as well!
It’s too bad superstore can get really busy and it’s impossible for parking. But this place is great for a quick meal.

love this place. Favourite place for a cheap eat especially their all day breakfast. Owners are super nice and remember my order now. way to build on the rapport! Everything is good here, I usually order the satay beef with vermicelli while my wife orders the condensed milk on toast hmm. Surprising i never went to them when they were in parker place but now I am a weekly eater there whenever i go shopping at superstore. Place maybe a little junky inside but it adds to the character ;)

My face says «I wanna Satay Beef Rice Noodle with Iced Lemon Tea and a side order of Chicken Wings.» Literally — when I walk into the joint that I’ve been coming for over 10 years, the lady knows me well.
Mind you this place moved from old Aberdeen to the current, not-​so-​traffic –friendly location (beneath Superstore), but my friends and I followed the home hong kong café cooking all the way here regardless.
The space is small, tables and chairs are dated and heavily used, the big B-​U-​T is that you’re here for the awesome food that is also awesomely priced. For instance, for $ 4, you get the breakfast combo with a hot drink, and for an additional $ 0.50, you get to ‘upgrade’ to an iced drink.
My choices are usually the ham and egg sandwich, and the Satay Beef Rice Noodle. Other notable items include Meat Loaf rice, ham over macaroni, assortments of fried rice and noodles.
Try it out and let me know what you think.
Cheerios~

Owner is soooo friendly! I love her so much! Food is DELICIOUS. Don’t eat there in the restaraunt though if you don’t want to smell like oil the entire day! Other than that, I really recommend the meatloaf rice!!!

Paul’s Kitchen is Chinese Café Comfort food. Really it’s that simple. It’s the equivalent of Italian restaurants having their version of rustic food.
You go just go up and order at the front. They’ll ask you if you would like Hot Tea (I think, but not for sure you can get Hong Kong coffee mixed with tea) or you can get a soup.
The soup I had was made with pork, and with large carrots. It had a nice natural sweetness to it that comes from a lazy pink animal. And for those that know me closely know I like eating pork.
I ordered the curry rice chicken, and unlike other places the one thing I enjoyed was that they fried the chicken skin with the chicken and then served with with curry sauce. This curry is different from other Chinese places, this one actually packs quite a bit of heat to start, but after eating it for 5 minutes the heat of it goes away and the flavour of the curry sauce really comes through.
The chicken was awesome, not overcooked, but if you’re looking to watch your weight, it may not be the absolute best idea to order this dish. But if you’re in the neighborhood and want to try something different from HK BBQ Master, check it out. Just remember, it’s Cantonese comfort food.

The bottom (parking lot) level of Superstore is seriously the last place that comes to mind when looking for food in Richmond.
Everyone knows about HK BBQ Master directly next door (47 Unilocal reviews as of today), but I can’t believe nobody has even reviewed this place!
So why am I giving this place 4 stars?
— they don’t speak English. Therefore you know it’s authentic.
— the place is totally beaten up, and looks like crap. From this, you know it’s going to be special.
— the dishes here are all $ 6 – 8. This is cheaper than Mui Garden for crying out loud.
— Their curry is spicy, in a really pleasant way. It has quite a bit of kick, but doesn’t leave you flushed and drinking water for the next 20 minutes. My friend and I couldn’t figure out what they could possibly put in the curry to pull this off. The (curry) beef brisket chunks were a bit small, but the quantity made up for it. The (curry) chicken pieces were pretty big, and it looks like they fried the pieces first before dropping them into the curry.
As a touch of their classiness, the food is served on trays, with your curry and ghetto-​soup in plastic (think take-​out) bowls, and the rice is served in a styrofoam container. You don’t even have to ask them to doggy bag it when you’re done! This brings up my last point: the portions are quite large.
I’m definitely coming back here. Oh baby.
