A counter-service Chaoshan noodle shop that opened on Moncton Street in 2026, serving hand-pounded beef and pork balls in clear broth with rice noodles, white pepper and celery. A plain wooden room better suited to twos and threes than groups.
In the Steveston neighbourhood of Richmond.

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.

A casual Greek taverna a block off the boardwalk, doing souvlaki, roast lamb, calamari and platters meant for sharing. It has been a Steveston fixture for years and is the neighbourhood default for an unfussy family dinner with a glass of wine.

A compact ramen shop on Bayview serving rich broth bowls, gyoza and rice sets. It closes Mondays and splits the day into separate lunch and dinner services, so check the hours before you walk over. Lines build fast on cold, wet afternoons.

A quiet, long-established Japanese restaurant on Second Avenue serving sushi, sashimi and cooked dinners. It runs separate lunch and dinner sittings seven days a week, takes reservations by phone only, and has free parking behind the building.

A small wood-fired pizza shop that opened in Steveston in late 2023. Thin, blistered Neapolitan-style pies made to order plus a short list of sides. Mostly a takeout counter with limited seating, so call ahead on busy village evenings.

All-day cafe on Moncton Street doing brunch, fusion paellas, eggs benedict and handmade Shanghai dumplings. Fans of Once Upon a Time will recognise the frontage as Granny's Diner. Family-friendly with a kids' menu and a private room for groups.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.

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.
