| - They don't make pizza. Surprised? When you sit down in this simple but large restaurant, you are handed no less than 5 menus. They serve everything from noodles, to congee to sushi--Oh My! (ode to John Pinette). They make everything except pizza! So, "how is it" you ask?
Considering this restaurant has no clue about picking a culinary theme, they do an awesome job and juggling so much variety. You would think that they can't do it all well if they do everything, but I say "Nay Nay!"
They have great, gargantuan noodle dishes, enough for two meals. They have standard dishes, and a list of sushi, dim sum and of course-BBQ Hong Kong style! This is the place if you or your group can't choose between sushi and Chinese, and spaghetti.
The key for me is the BBQ. When I had my company offices located a block away, I ate at Richmond Court at least once a week for a decade, but now I have to plan a stop with other errands. They always have the BBQ treat hanging in the glass cabinet at the entrance, but on certain days...
Today was that day: The crispy skin Roast Pork had just come in. Succulent and tender, crisp and salty, it is worth it to be there on the correct day of the week (it changes). A 2 or 3 combination of meats on a bed of rice for about $10. I can never finish the rice.
The service during the lunch hour is fast. They churn through the patrons as fast as the kitchen can serve up the goods. And good it is!
On the way out, you can pick up some of the Chinese baked goods at the front of the store. I recommend the Coconut Cream Buns! But they don't make pizza--yet...
