Every business here is filed under a real category and pinned to the part of Richmond it trades in. The details come from the public OpenStreetMap map data, so they can be out of date — confirm with the business before you set off.
Narrow the list with the rail, by trade or by neighbourhood. Every filter is a plain link with its own address, so you can bookmark it, share it or send it to someone who needs a plumber's-worth of local knowledge without an account or an app.

Upstairs beauty spa in the Hazelbridge Way complex near Yaohan, doing facials, skin treatments and body care by appointment. Small and quiet compared with the mall traffic downstairs, and phone booking is the norm.
View details
Long-standing salon in the Broadmoor Village plaza at No. 3 and Williams, the sort of place south Richmond families have used for years. Cuts, sets, perms and color, booked by phone, with free parking right at the door.
View details
A tiny Cantonese barbecue counter in the Superstore plaza on No. 3 Road, long regarded as one of the best in the region. Char siu, crackling-skin roast pork and soy chicken are chopped to order over rice. Small space, quick queue, and it sells out early.
View details
Wedding studio in the Horseshoe Way showroom strip offering photography, videography, bridal gown rental and day-of hair and makeup. Useful if you would rather book the whole wedding-day package from one place than assemble it yourself.
View details
Steveston's barbecue joint, smoking brisket, ribs, pulled pork and chicken in house with rubs made on site. Order at the counter, grab a craft beer, and watch the game on the big screens. Burnt ends and cornbread are the sides people come back for.
View details
No. 3 Road showroom in the Golden Village carrying contemporary sofas, dining sets, beds and accent pieces, with sales staff who offer home-staging style advice. Open seven days and central enough for a quick browse.
View details
A small No. 3 Road salon built around color work, from single-process tints to correction jobs people bring in from elsewhere. Appointments also include scalp massage and deep conditioning, so a color visit runs long rather than rushed.
View details
Steakhouse on Ackroyd Road working with Prime, wagyu and in-house dry-aged cuts, paired with sake and cocktails as well as wine. A quieter, higher-end alternative to the chain steakhouses along the No. 3 Road corridor.
View details
Small independent women's clothing shop on the main Moncton Street strip in Steveston Village. Casual and dressier pieces plus accessories, chosen in small runs, so the stock changes often. The kind of shop where staff remember what you bought last time.
View details
An ice cream counter upstairs in Aberdeen Centre, listed in Tourism Richmond's guide to the city's frozen desserts. Being inside the mall makes it an easy stop mid-shop, and it draws the Golden Village crowd rather than Steveston day-trippers.
View details
Third-floor Aberdeen Square salon run in the Japanese style, where the same shop does your haircut and your lashes. Women's cuts start around $68 and men's around $63, with keratin lash lifts and flat lash extension sets also on the menu.

View details
Long-running Richmond hobby shop near the airport, now in a larger unit on Russ Baker Way. Plastic model kits, miniatures and paints, board games, trading cards and comics, with tables for in-store gaming. A destination shop rather than a browse-by.
View details
Racquet sports specialist on the upper level of Aberdeen Centre, with a strong badminton focus plus table tennis and snowboarding gear. It runs the adjoining Yonex shop, and does racquet stringing, which matters in a city with a serious badminton scene.
View details
Third-floor studio in Aberdeen Square, open daily in the afternoons. A quieter, mall-based alternative to a storefront shop, doing custom pieces and smaller fine-line work for a mostly local Richmond clientele.
View details
Richmond-based independent brokerage on Alexandra Road in the Golden Village, with a sales team well over a hundred strong. Beyond resale listings it also runs rental property management and strata management, so landlords use it as much as buyers do.
View details

View details
South Richmond vet clinic in the Coppersmith plaza, open weekends and with one late evening a week but closed Mondays. Shares ownership with Seafair Animal Clinic, so between the two locations you can usually be seen seven days a week.
View details

View details
Practice in the Ironwood complex in south Richmond that leans toward implants, cosmetic smile design and Invisalign. Sedation and laughing gas are offered, which makes it a common pick for anxious patients and longer treatment appointments.
View details
Optometry clinic in the Ironwood complex that does a lot of myopia control work for children: orthokeratology, atropine and MiSight lenses. Also fits scleral and hybrid lenses for keratoconus and sells designer frames. Open six days a week.
View details
Over 10,000 square feet of Japanese goods on Alderbridge Way, most of it imported directly. Bento, sushi and hot food made in-house each morning, plus frozen fish, seasonings, cosmetics and kitchenware. It closes at 6pm, so go earlier than you think.
View details
A small scoop shop off Blundell Road making its own ice cream in rotating batches, leaning Asian with black sesame, Thai milk tea, Vietnamese coffee and ube. No seating and no free samples, but the ice cream is dense and pints travel home well.

Three ways in
Every route through the index is an ordinary link with an address of its own. Nothing here needs an account, an app or JavaScript.
The rail lists every trade in the index, with the sub-categories under each one. Each is a real page at its own address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or sent to someone who needs it.
Where a business trades matters nearly as much as what it does. The neighbourhood list splits Richmond the way the people who live here split it, and each one has a page of its own.
If the name is already known, the search box at the top of this page goes straight there. Part of a name works, and so does a street or a trade.
Why this directory exists
A directory is only worth the reading behind it.
Every entry is categorised and placed in the neighbourhood it trades in, starting from the public OpenStreetMap map data. 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, so tell us when you spot one.
