View details
Japanese-style salon in the newer Capstan Way towers, best known locally for its head spa treatments alongside standard cut, colour and straightening packages. Expect long combined appointments rather than a quick in-and-out trim.
View details
Small street-level studio on Elmbridge Way near the Canada Line, open four days a week. Cuts and colour plus hair weaves and permanent straightening, which is the reason most people phone ahead rather than drop in.
View details
A compact French-Asian bakery on No. 3 Road known for laminated pastry with unexpected fillings like yuzu and masago, and for sea salt buns that regularly sell out. Small counter and short hours, so it is worth timing your visit for the morning bake.
View details
Plant nursery on No. 5 Road in Richmond's farm belt that is far bigger inside than it looks from the road. Indoor, outdoor and tropical plants, vases and gardening supplies, with staff who help match a plant to the room it is going in.

View details
A small florist counter operating inside a larger balloon and party shop on First Avenue in Steveston. Useful for a last-minute bouquet or a flowers-plus-balloons combination for a birthday, though it keeps short afternoon hours.
View details
A West Cambie Japanese grocer that stocks the specific things other stores skip: baking and cooking ingredients, wagyu and sashimi-grade fish, regional snacks, and hot food to take away. Staff move between Japanese and English without any fuss.
View details
A no-frills Moncton Street chip shop that regulars rank against the wharf stands. Halibut, cod and salmon come battered to order with hand-cut fries, plus chowder and burgers. Small dining room, steady takeout trade, and less of a lineup than the waterfront.
View details
A small Anderson Road cafe pairing gelato with matcha lattes and Vietnamese coffee. It works as a quieter City Centre dessert stop when the Golden Village dessert shops are packed, and the drinks are as much the point as the scoops.
View details
Tucked into the McKim Way plaza off Cambie Road, this is a phone-to-book salon rather than a walk-in shop. Cut, colour and perm work for a largely Chinese-speaking local clientele, with plenty of surface parking out front.
View details
Richmond roofing and exteriors company handling replacement, repairs and free inspections, plus gutters, siding and skylights. Based on Cooney Road near the city centre, so it is a genuinely local option rather than a Metro Vancouver chain.
View details
Family-owned Steveston patisserie open since 1996, focused on European-style cakes such as tiramisu and triple chocolate mousse, plus everyday pastries. It is where Richmond people order birthday and celebration cakes instead of buying one at the grocery store.
View details
Newer Steveston shop specialising in raw and frozen diets for dogs and cats, plus treats and supplements. A short walk from the Bayview Street shops, so it fits into a village errand run rather than a trip out to a big-box store.
View details
The Aberdeen Centre branch of a Vancouver-area salon group, open seven days a week from late morning to early evening. Cutting, colouring and styling for a mostly Cantonese- and Mandarin-speaking clientele, with walk-in timing that suits mall hours.
View details

View details
Dry cleaner tucked into Blundell Centre, handling shirts, jackets, trousers and general garment care. It opens at 7:30am on weekdays, so you can drop off before work and collect on the way home with the groceries.
View details
Quiet Alexandra Road shop that does a lot of sympathy and memorial work, including cemetery wreaths and standing sprays, alongside everyday bouquets. The owner takes custom orders by phone and will match a photo or a colour brief.
View details

View details
Long-running Cantonese banquet restaurant on the second floor of London Plaza. Big round tables, live seafood tanks and a dim sum service that starts early. Richmond families book it for weddings and birthdays as often as for a regular lunch.

Why this directory exists
A directory is only worth the reading behind it.
Every entry is written up, categorised and placed by hand. If a business has closed, moved or changed hands, we would rather pull the page than leave a wrong address sitting at the top of a search result.
