Thai cooking at everyday prices in the Blundell Centre plaza at No. 2 Road and Blundell. Curries, noodles and stir-fries for dine-in or takeout, serving the surrounding residential blocks rather than any tourist trade.

A white-tablecloth seafood restaurant tucked into a heritage building on Moncton Street. Dinner runs nightly and brunch is weekends only. Worth booking when you want something dressier than the fish-and-chip windows down at the wharf.

A Hong Kong style barbecue counter hidden in the parkade below the No. 3 Road Superstore. Roast pork, soy chicken and char siu over rice, sold to a line-up most days. Tiny seating, no atmosphere, and one of Richmond's worst-kept food secrets.

Japanese restaurant at Lansdowne doing sushi rolls, sashimi and cooked plates in a comfortable dining room. A useful sit-down option in a stretch of Richmond dominated by Chinese restaurants, and it stays open through the afternoon.

The neighbourhood pub at Broadmoor Shopping Centre, with a full food menu, sports on the screens and an attached liquor store. It opens early, stays late Thursday through Saturday, and serves straightforward pub cooking to the surrounding blocks.

A small fine-dining Thai room on the Steveston waterfront serving a set menu at fixed seatings, Wednesday through Sunday only. Reservations are essential, and there is a Thai afternoon tea service on weekends. Expect a long, formal, expensive meal.

I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
