A small Malaysian takeout on No. 3 Road turning out laksa, nasi lemak, chicken rice and roti. It runs mainly on pickup and delivery with limited seating. Portions are generous, prices are low, and the sambal carries real heat.

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.
