| - Sentimental..... That's how I feel about this restaurant. Growing up in Richmond Hill I frequented Richmond court because the asian grub was hella bang-on and mad cheap. I remember going there as a kid slamming that fluorescent hot and sour soup and eating deep fried salty squid until my belly hurt. I remember going there as a teen, ordering the whole menu and smoking butt after butt in that closed off glass smoking area. I remember going there last month and re-living all my childhood experiences.
I won't lie, the quality of food there has gone down a bit over the years, but it is still one of the top places to secure Chinese food in the Richmond Hill/Markham area. When I'm fiending hot & sour, that Cantonese noodle crunch, or that ideal texture perfect jelly rice noodle, RC always delivers for me. If you are a bun/pastry lover they have a whole section of it by the mall entrance, I've only ever tried the pineapple buns which are sweet, solid, and stellar.
Let it be known I do not vouch for this restaurant as a Dim Sum venue, I've had it a few times and it can not hold a candle to other fine restaurants in Markham. Another point to note is people often confuse this location with another at 328 Highway 7 E. As far as I know, this location I am reviewing is the classic spot. But see for yourself.
