  • Richmond Court or Nam Yuen (South Court) has been a fixture of the "Golden Plaza" (Wong Gum) shopping center by Highway 7 & Chalmers since 1992/93 era. It is right in the corner near the Chinese supermarket and is hard to miss. Side note: "Wong Gum" Plaza is named after a famous shopping arcade in Hong Kong, notably Kowloon's Sham Shui Po area, which in the 1980s was famous for stores selling Apple 2 clone computers and hardware and accessories, and ahem the vendors there being the early pioneers of bootleg software on 3.5" floppy disks. Games were like $1.50 a pop, and pretty much started the revolution of A$N CHEAPNE$$ where HK ppl believe as a result of such rampant availability at low prices, that software, services, media, music etc should be made more available cheaply and widely, an attitude and perhaps ingrained culture, that sadly persists to this day amongst some consumers. Why do you think A$Ns and AZNs love low quality low tech bargains or copies of originals? Can't afford a Rolex? Get a RoDex instead at the night market for cheap! Or a Prada wallet? Hey there's PraPa, don't fret. You don't want to know what the clone brand of DKNY is called. Their success throughout the years has allowed them to expand into the Times Square plaza about 5 minutes away, with much bigger and slightly tidier digs, although last time in 2003 when I passed by it, the bigger and supposedly much better looking place started to look a bit old and tired. This first location of Richmond Court has a local HK style cafe feel, more stripped down, where expat$ and A$Ns alike flock here for the usual classics, HK style western food and drink, coexisting with HK Cantonese common fare classics like won ton noodles, shui gow dumplings (10+ years ago used to be the best in town), beef brisket noodles or over rice, and related ilk. A decent affordable place if you're in need of basic Cantonese comfort food, although I'd argue if you need congee, you may want to try (if it is still around) "Dai Fai Woot" right in the corner closer to Chalmer's side (perfect snack into the moderately late hours of pre midnight even for the A$N after his golf game). Easily 4 stars by San Francisco Bay Area standards, but for the pickiest of A$Ns and locals, and due to its history/age, I'm slotting it at a more grounded keepin it realz 3.
