Osamu Sushi in Coquitlam
After a playing an afternoon round of golf at the Golden Eagle Golf Club we went to Osamu Sushi for dinner. This is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants because of their authenticity and great food but we only get to go when we golf in the Coquitlam or Pitt Meadows area. Its been a few years since I last visited, so I was hoping the food was as good as I remembered.
Osamu went through a redecoration in the time since I was here and the new decor resembles an Earls more than a Japanese restaurant. They used to look like a standard sushi house but the modern look better matches their menu.
July 30, 2009 | Danny | Comments 2Deep Fried Chicken Wings from Wo Fung Dessert at Aberdeen in Richmond
After my last visit to Aberdeen, Kim gently reminded me how silly it was to go there and not get an order of Deep Fried Chicken Wings from Wo Fung!
Danny and I decided to go back to Aberdeen for lunch, and this time, I wouldn’t make the same mistake. I headed straight to Wo Fung Dessert to grab their (in)famous Deep Fried Chicken Wings. There are a few things that confuse me about Wo Fung. First of all, they’re called ‘Wo Fung Dessert’, but they really sell dessert, and they’re really known for fried chicken. Secondly, I’m not sure what it is about their chicken wings that make them taste so darn good; all I know is that when you’re craving a snack at Aberdeen, Wo Fung always hits the spot.

After a morning at the Richmond Go Kart Tracks, a big group of us decided to have lunch at Aberdeen food court. This was my second trip to this food court. Some of my friends decided to order at Mambo Cafe because they eaten there before and said it was good, so I followed their recommendation. Mambo was like a Hong Kong cafe in a food court. There was a decent sized line up ordering food, and they’re located right next to the popular Leung Kee.

This was my first time eating at the Aberdeen food court. What made this food court unique was layout; you see the food stalls before the seating area. The seating area was very pleasant. They took advantage of the natural lighting with the ceiling to floor giant windows.
I walked around the food area looking for a restaurant. I wouldn’t help noticing that there was a line up at Leung Kee. Most stalls had one or two customers, but Leung Kee had eight or more. By far, Leung Kee was the busiest. I lined up at Leung Kee checking out their menu. They even had a LCD TV displaying orders ready for pick up.

Yamato East Asia Cuisine is one of the newer ramen places in Richmond. They’re located in the Richmond Public Market, and they’ve only been open for a few weeks (maybe months?). The store is accessible from within RPM as well as from Buswell Street.
After recently going to G-Men, my Richmond ramen expectations were raised a little bit. When we got to Yamato, I definitely found something that I didn’t expect: the prices!
Each ramen was $5.99! I can’t remember the last time I ate at a restaurant where the prices of the main dish started with a 5 (unless it was $50). The menu is about average size for a ramen place with plenty of choices.
