[Ulic Qel-Droma]

so I moved to richmond within the past half year... or more or something rather.

I've been going to No 9 a lot since my hours are pretty fucked and I'd rather not eat mcdonalds or pho everynight.

No 9's menu is fucking huge, which got me thinking, there must be a lot of decent items that i'd probably never order.

so here we go.

everyone list your favourite or most ordered dish.

for those with a shitty ass memory here you go:

http://www.richmond9.com/menu.php

try to list the number of the item or have the exact item. chinese is accepted as long as you type out the pinyin or honger canto phonetics as well.

I order:

-340: No 9 delux Burger (I swear it's good. I SWEAR. if you want a greasy burger this is it).
-346: club house sandwich
-no 9 omelet (under the 24/7 menu)
-bbq pork with flat rice noodle soup/cha siu hofun (i just order it, i don't know the number)
-161: minced beef fried rice
-220: soy beef rice noodle dry (gan1 cao2 niu2 he2)

uhh that's it off the top of my head. feel free to add more as you try them out or offer semi-constructive criticism to other's choices.

[SkinnyPupp]

The roast duck is awesome there. That's pretty much all I ever order :)

[TheSalesman]

You can also ask them to make your food without MSG. It seems to come out nicer...

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

yeah? i tried to avoid all specialty meats cuz I'm never sure of 24/7 but if you say it's good, it probably is then

[sh0n]

When I'm alone or with friends I get

5 Preserved Egg and Pork Congee
27 Clear soup with Brisket Noodle

With family

We usually get the 4 item combo

[bcrdukes]

Do you still visit your mom @ Crack Ho Pho?

#118 Szechuan Style Beef Noodle in Soup!!!

[SkinnyPupp]

I am very picky when it comes to 'siu mei' so you're right - if I say it's good, then it's good. Granted, I haven't eaten at #9 in 2 years or more, so I can't be sure if it's still good. I do know that speaking to the owners' son, they have high standards when buying their ducks, and will only buy ones that are within a certain weight. So you won't get the cheap ducks that are nothing but skin and bone. Then again, even the best places are not 100% consistent, so... Good luck! :thumbsup:

+1 for the shanghai fried noodles. I always order that dish when I go.

[n1smo]

bbq pork on rice!

[jlo mein]

195 Curry Beef Brisket on Rice

I order that at almost every chinese place I go to, with the exception of Hon's who make it all watery and soup like. Its better when it has a thicker gravy like curry. The following picture is from Congee Noodle House on Main St, but the curry beef brisket at No 9 looks very similar. I do find that the beef brisket at No 9 isn't as fatty or tender as other places I have been to.

[Ch28]

minced beef congee :bowdown:

[Derek_N84]

The last time I went there, my food was spoiled. I ordered the wontons and dumplings in soup, the meat filling in both clearly had an odour and it tasted sour-ish. :(

[achiam]

I always order BBQ Duck and Cha Siew Hoh fun noodles in soup.

David, the tall night manager, is timeless. I was very frequent there over the years, and he always greeted me and knew what I wanted right away.
I left Vancouver for an entire year, and when I visited Vancouver I went straight there that night with my friends. He saw me, and said (in Cantonese) "Hey! You haven't been here for like 2 or 3 weeks! You want the same thing?"

I didn't have the heart to tell him that 13 months had passed.

[achiam]

Do you still visit your mom @ Crack Ho Pho?

LOL.
Which reminds me.
I'm headed back to Vancouver in a month. I wonder if the crazy zombie woman is still working 72 hour shifts at Kim Pehn Xe Lua.
Anyone been there lately? Is it still up and open?

[SkinnyPupp]

I just remembered, one of the long time waitresses there is a shoplifter.. My wife caught her trying to steal from her store :lol

[brokentelephone]

I used to really like their mapo tofu but haven't been in probably 6 years!

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

Do you still visit your mom @ Crack Ho Pho?

lol less and less. but yeah she's still my pho mom. haha

LOL.

yeah she is still there man. lol you call her zombie woman too!? HAHAHA yeah man she's been there since forever. i've been going since summer of 99. still 24/7 hah. i duno how she does it. i swear she works straight for a few years, then takes a few months off. that happened once. her pho serving skills are so superior they had to replace her with two guys. haha!


i've noticed that quiet, tall, tired looking chinese dude in the suit has been at no 9 for a fucking long ass time too. he reminds me of Lurch from the Addams family. haha!!!

[hotjoint]

I ate one of the burgers there and it was delicious. Who woulda thought that a chinese restaurant would make burgers and fries :)

[SkinnyPupp]

Haha many years ago my old friend from school came to visit me in Richmond. After many, many drinks we headed to #9. This guy, from a town of like 10,000 people with no more than one Chinese restaurant, tried the burger and said it was the best he ever had!

I just realized I have many memories of #9. That and Hong Lok Yuen.

[flawless]

The burgers are pretty damn good there. Haha, I order it from time to time.

Hell yeah man. $3.99 FTMFW.
Countless drunken sessions at Zodiac, followed by stumbling to HLY and puking in the flower pots outside the front door.

Once, my friend was parking his RX in the parking lot, and he was semi-drunk, and hit another car lightly in plain view of several police officers. He walked past them, and said "its ok dont worry" and walked inside lol. The RCMP came in and said "no, its NOT ok!"

[drunkrussian]

i heard the chefs at no. 9 pop e while they work? lol

[unit]

i only tried the bbq pork late at night when its not its best (then again why would u go to no9 in the daytime), and the last time i had it, it was terrible... like REAL bad

[6793026]

Hong Lok Yuen.

oh lord... this was by far the worse service place i've ever been to.

[tripleA]

get the 27. special beef brisket noodle (clear soup) everytime, i dont think i've ordered anything else there b4 LOL, but then again, i rarely go there

[Durrann1984]

haha wow im pretty suprised they have decent burgers haha

[Shades]

Everything at No. 9 is greasy. It's kinda disgusting.

[scottsman]

Its all about the choose any 4 items!

Salt pepper pork
salt pepper wings
honey garlic wings
honey garlic spareribs....

great for after drinks or stoner feast.

[Good_KarMa]

Preserved egg congeegeegeegee baby baby baby!!!!!!

[jakolantern]

Favorite is their beef fried rice noodle and next is the chow mein.

Also, agree on the preserved egg and shredded pork congee.

Scallop and egg white fried rice is a good one too.

[SkinnyPupp]

oh lord... this was by far the worse service place i've ever been to.
Haha yeah, the service was terrible, and the food just about as bad. But man, so many memories :lol

[Alphamale]

[Grandmaster TSE]

pretty sure they do put a lot of "love" in your food

[drunkrussian]

lol i dunno about man-love, but i heard that you can order one thing and end up getting something completely different, depending on how high the cook is at the moment

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

re-read what you just said hahaha
