| Your current favorite restaurant
Whether it's fine dining, or open late, or a chain, where do you like to repeatedly visit?
Mine's been One Cafe in Richmond. Can't get enough of that milk tea.

There's a small chain I like that has a good HK cafe menu, good prices, and decent drinks. I go whenever I want to have baked pork chop for instance
Most local chains eventually get sold to investors and enshitified, but that hasn't happened to this one yet (although the portions do seem smaller lately)   | |

^I'm from the area and never heard of Yuen Long Bistro - and it doesn't look like they have a location in Yuen Long???? 
But I'm always down for a baked pork chop on rice, so I'll have to make a trek to one of their locations.

I don't know if it's worth a trek to visit, but for me it's local and I go there pretty often so thought I'd reply. If there's one near you and you feel like that food, it's a good option
Sucks having baked pork chop as a favourite dish now, because so many places have cut down on their portions so you get shitty thin pork chops no matter where you go.

My favourite is this food court place in Richmond at Empire Center -- Cloud 9 Delicacy / 雲頂閩南美食. It is supposedly a Taiwanese place, but the store keeper lady speaks Canto as well (in addition to Mando, and I would expect her to be able to speak English too). 
And this is the reason why the place has become my current favourite -- $15 a dish of the above.
They are quite a busy stall, and I would definitely recommend against going during the normal lunch rush. One time I got there on a Sunday slightly after 12pm, and I ended up waiting ~25 min for the popcorn chicken dish. When I go there between 11 - 11:30, the wait time is quite reasonable.
The popcorn chicken is always piping hot when it comes out, and is excellently flavoured -- one of the best I can find in Vancouver, I'd say. The meal is served with 4 side dishes -- marinated hard boiled egg, nappa veggie, (Taiwanese style?) pickle, marinated dried tofu, with rice served in a separate container. The boss lady will give you a paper cup for some self-served tea as well. The portions are very generous, and is enough for 2 people to finish as a normal meal. But if I am feeling hungry, I can totally wolf it all down on my own.
The deep fried porkchop dish is also well flavoured. They typically give 4 large pieces of (bone-in) porkchops.
They also have a deep fried chicken breast option as well, but I never order that since I like popcorn chicken better.
Parking at the plaza is your typical Richmond affair -- that is to say, it is absolute dog shxt, both at the surface lot, as well as the multi-level parkade.
The food court there also has a number of other top notch food stalls, but because of that, the seating there is inadequate for the number of people eating there.
TL;DL
yummy, very generous portions, $15/dish

Off topic but I can never tell if radeonboy lives in Vancouver or HK, or where he is in the world. Carmen Sandiego has nothing on him.

Part of my problem also is how great Vancouver HK (and Asian restaurants are) that it's hard to match what I'm used to when I visit Asian cities. We do pay a big premium for that privilege in Vancouver though. Quote:

Getting back on topic, my most recent favorite is Washington Avenue Grill in White Rock. It's nothing fancy, but I like the laid back vibe with a lively atmosphere and a nice sunset backdrop for the summer season.
