Our Favourite Eats in Richmond (Updated January 2023)

Our Favourite Eats in Richmond (Updated January 2023)

I had to make an updated post because there’s so much more food now and things have changed so much since the pandemic!

We love that our little city has so much yummy food to eat! Just wanted to share some of our absolute favourite things to eat just within our vicinity. What’s so wonderful about Richmond is that we have tons of authentic food to eat, whether it’s Chinese (of all varieties) to Japanese to Vietnamese and even Filipino. Definitely cannot vouch for great west coast food in Richmond, but we’re great for Asian varieties.
