Pros:
Lots of items to choose from
Good value
Cons:
Food is average at best
Let's get this out of the way first. If you want a nice fancy dinner, you're obviously not going here. Having said that, if you want an enjoyable meal with good portions for what you're paying, this place is a good bet.
I've been here for lunch and dinner in the last little while. When you come in, you notice this place is a lot bigger than it seems when looking at it from outside. There are tons of tables here and it's very rare that you will have to wait long for a seat when you come. As soon as we sit down, we're presented with 4 different menus. Richmond Court offers plenty of variety to choose from. They have their own bakery, a Chinese BBQ shop, all day dim sum as well as your standard regular Chinese restaurant fare. That's pretty convenient if you come with a party all with different tastes.
When I came for lunch, I ordered from the Chinese BBQ portion of the place. My GF got the won ton noodles and we ordered a dim sum dish for our little one. Having all this choice already came in handy. Not many places can fill this type of order in the city. I had the roast pork and soya chicken combination. It comes on a very big place with a lot of each type of meat. It could of used some veggies but for the price, it was good. The same can be said of the other dishes we had. Again, the theme of this place is good value.
For our dinner time visit, we ordered from the set dinners that are main stays at Chinese restaurant. You pay a set price for a certain amount dishes. The dishes you can choose from are all on a list. We ordered a beef dish, a bok choi dish and half a soya chicken. Going along with the theme of this place, great value, OK tasting. Set meals come with soup but you will need to buy bowls of rice.
All in all, you're getting what you pay for here. If you come here looking for a decent meal with good value, you will not be disappointed.
