Lamb specialist in Continental Centre cooking the northwest Chinese way: lamb soup, skewers, ribs, dumplings and buns, including cuts most Richmond menus skip. A good option for a group that wants something other than Cantonese seafood.

Small Japanese izakaya in Continental Centre serving ramen, okonomiyaki, donburi and hot pot in a tight, dimly lit room. It went viral years ago for a beer-styled ramen, but the everyday draw is shareable plates and late hours.

Taiwanese cafe in Continental Centre that works as both a bubble tea stop and a full sit-down meal. Rice and noodle plates, hot pots and popcorn chicken alongside a long drinks list. Open late, which makes it a default after-movie spot.

A wonton noodle and congee house on the Alexandra Road restaurant strip. Shrimp wontons in clear broth, beef brisket noodles and slow-cooked congee are the staples. Fast, inexpensive, and a reliable stop when you want something light and hot.

A big, busy Cantonese dining room on the third floor of Aberdeen Centre, best known for made-to-order dim sum at lunch. Locals queue on weekends for har gow, rice rolls and egg tarts, then shop downstairs. Dinner shifts to seafood and banquet dishes.
