Huge menu, something for everyone, very friendly but not phoney bimbo servers pushing for tips, great hostess always picks us the perfect table, excellent value on huge dishes, everything is fresh and flavourful, water and tea constantly filled, they pack leftovers at the table instead of in the kitchen which I love, always busy no matter what time proving its a great place, waitresses are awesome with our 2 year old and always bring a water with lid, small plate, fork & extra napkins for him, super friendly to him, never have to wait for a table, and they always warn 'It's a spicy dish' when you pick one with heat, and 'Cooked or crispy noodles?'... We love it and go there about once, maybe twice a month!
Can't go wrong here, very good food, large portions. Will eat there again for sure.
I've been here a number of times and the food is always awesome. Glad to see that they closed the entrance from the inner mall and enter from the parking lot only. The one thing I would hate is to be standing in the huge line up when the weather turns.
The taste of all menu are excellent, all delicious
Soo much good and delicious food! I live in the U.S. and I will always go and eat there whenever I visit. YUM!
I super like their lemon chicken and fried rice! The place is usually packed especially during lunch! We had to wait for at least 10 minutes to be seated. They have good food portions and price is quite reasonable.
This has been a post airport go-to for many years. It’s close to the YVR airport, convenient, and consistently good. Although it’s loud at time, that quickly becomes unnoticeable because the food is so good. My family and I usually order the same things but it’s because they’re consistently good. And even when we branch out and try new things they become a part of our favourites list.
I also love that they have deals where you can choose a few dishes for a set price and that they’re not gimmicky like most restaurants and give a small portion-they’re huge.
No. 9 restaurant has got to be the best Asian restaurant I've dined at. The food served here is simply delicious and recommend trying out the roast duck and roast pork. The pork is succulent and cooked to perfection. The only things that I didn't like about this place was that one of the food items was served cold. The manager at No. 9 is really sweet and he did apologise. Also, communicating with the waiters is a little difficult if you're not Asian but on the whole it's a place worth trying.
○good service
○decent food for a 24 hrs restaurant
○family friendly
○convenient location with lots of parking
○they do put msg in some of their dishes
○good price for the portion size
○would I go back? Yes
Really good portions and taste for a 24 h place. Always fully staffed, so price is a little higher than other places that offer the same portions and quality. But it's still a good place for late night cravings!
You can't go wrong with this place especially when it's 24 hours. It's good average food. This place is the destination to go to after clubbing or lounging. Perhaps even after a joint lol. Plenty of parking all around, cash only. They have a atm machine inside for convience.
Prices have gone up a bit over the years. For breakfast I had the beef satay with vermicelli and it was good.
It's hard not to live a place like this. Classic Chinese food served 24 7. The is actually really good which matters at 3 in the morning. I will trek out here no matter how drunk I am. Surprisingly, the service is also good. There is literally no reason you shouldn't go.
Went there for a quick lunch en-route to ubc. Even though the place was crowded, we got seated quickly. We had dumpling rice noodle, and fish ball with regular fine egg noodle. Overall, the service was fast, and the food is typical of hk noodle shop. You have a choice of different types of noodle.
Their yang chow fried rice is very tasty. Offers big servings at affordable prices. Restaurant is always full though. Good thing they are open 24/7.
Went here everytime when sending a person to leave the airport or coming from out of town, why? the place opens 24 hours! yes and it's chinese restaurant. while at the same time, their food is definitely okay, it's something that they do, like it's very very specific which i can't remember what it's but every time i go here depending on the crowd, some of my friends really love the deep fried silverfish like a lot! and also the rest of the food, bbq pork are okay, i think it's one of those staple places for me if ever i left vancouver, i must visit this place.
the food is not mind blowing good, but definitely good-average type but the 24 hours is what makes it a destination to go.

Quick service. Love that it's open 24/7. It's definitely more expensive than most Chinese restaurants in the area but worth it if you're hungry for a good meal in the middle of the night. Must try: deep fried spicy salty cod and chicken wings.

It’s been 18 years since I moved to Vancouver, No. 9 Restaurant is still sitting at the same spot in Lansdowne Mall, Richmond. Being the only Chinese joint that opens 24 hours in the lower Mainland, this place never seems to slow down. I visit this place probably once or twice a year. And here I am, making my 2015 appearance with Morgan at 4 am in the morning. It was toward to the end of our 12-hour TGIF outing – happy hour cocktails at The Emerald, dinner at Fat Mao, birthday gathering at The Central City Brew Pub, and dancing at the Cobalt – so a comforting Chinese meal definitely hit the spot after all that.
Broccoli Beef will always be in my top 5 favorite comfort dishes. Their version here ($14.95) at No.9 is very nicely prepared and close to perfection – broccoli was bright green and with a crunch (or what my favourite foodie Sherman would say, a snap), beef was tender and flavourful, and final stir fry sauce was clean and shiny, making the dish textbook perfect. Clearly this dish is requested so often that the chef probably can cook it in his sleep.
I went to this place for a Long week end late night, I was busy considering the time was mid night, this place is famous for twenty four hours Chinese food. I had the traditional won ton noodle in soup, It was good/average enough for a mid night craving, recommend for people who are hungry and can't sleep at night.
For a 24h restaurant (7days a week) their Chinese food is actually really good! I love how it's super convenient because of their hours and their service isn't too bad either!
So the other day when we were near Landsdowne my dad was like "We haven't gone to No.9 in so long!!" Every few months my dad wants to go back to No.9 LOL! He really likes it - back when we weren't so familiar with Richmond, this was the only place we would eat at! Every time we go it brings me back to the summer of '13 LOL, right before I started blogging! :D
Oh - something funny happened during our meal - after we got our food I started snapping photos, and the waitress laughed at me LOL!! She was probably thinking "Is this the first time she's seen a plate of noodles?" ;D
I've had their BBQ meats SO many times - but this is my first time blogging about it!! I've blogged about them here: http://www.vancitynoms.com/2014/12/no9-restaurant-richmond.html
Mixed feelings. No. 9 is a well-known twenty-four hour restaurant located in Lansdowne Shopping Mall in Richmond. I have dined at No. 9 a number of times over the years and have had both positive and negative experiences there. Service can be a bit sketchy at times. While some servers are friendly and polite, the majority are not. There is a vast menu including some western dishes. Food quality is adequate and portions tend to be quite large. Food is tasty but is also very greasy and salty...definitely not a place to go if you want something healthy.
Pros: Open 24/7, lots of variety, fast service
Cons: Service, not so healthy

The Applebee's of Cantonese. I have a lot to learn about Chinese food, and what better place to do it but Richmond? I've read Urbanspoon reviews about No.9 Restaurant 九記 so I wasn't expecting glamour. But there are lots of restaurants in any culture's cuisine that dish out middle-brow versions of that ethnic group's comfort food standards. Like Applebee's and TGIFriday's does for us gweilos. I'd put No.9 in that sort of category (just not a franchise op.)
The bowl of barbequed duck on rice was merely that -- a chopped up duck half on white rice. The skin had some tasty bits, it had some boring bits. Mass-produced but not bad. What could be more basic (and unadventurous) than pork chow mein, eh? I realize that ordering that is like going to an Italian joint and eating spaghetti with marinara sauce. But I had it anyway -- a good thing to judge a restaurant on. It had an OK amount of pork mince, so-so blend of soft-cooked onions, mushrooms and other veg. Enough for two portions at least for $12. The noodles seemed cooked appropriately to me, not mushy, although there was one burned edge. It was better than eating Chun King from a can.
I see reviews complaining about the service. I was only at No. 9 for takeaway, but the maitre d'ista put a menu in my hands within 30 seconds of me walking in the door at 8 p.m. on a busy Saturday night. They got my order right, had it to me within 15 minutes and it was still warm by the time I bicycled up to the Fraser River for a dusk picnic. So I can't kvetch. What's a Chinese word for "kvetch"?
Ordered wonton noodle soup, first time in years. Used to love their wonton soup when I was cramming for school. The level of MSG hit me like a hammer. Not a item to order if u don't like MSG.
Great for late nite eats after a night out + great place to sober up after one too many drinks. authentic chinese comfort food at its best. convenient ample parking out front too.
Hardcore cantonese. Hardcore, authentic, hong kong-style restaurant. very good food. everything has authentic flavor. great soup and dishes.
What Else is Open.... ...at 4am? It's not the best ambiance, the food is average, but being open almost 24hrs is a huge advantage. It's hard to find any place that's so quick and cheap in the first place. At that time of night, I'm not looking for service. I'm looking to eat and go.
Btw, they do have a few gems in their menu. I recommend their honey-garlic wings, their deep-fried cuttlefish, and deep-fried silverfish.
Always Fresh and cheap. I love this place. Open 24/7 always fresh and good. the portion are a great value. Highly recommend.
Okay... but know what to expect!. I think No. 9 is a staple for many of us. We don't expect the best Chinese food in the world...most of the time the food is over-greased and I'm pretty sure laden with MSG. But hey, it's open, always busy (which means food turn over can't be bad) and the menu rolls out like the bible. There's something for everyone, and as long as you're not expecting the best quality of food (though a gazillion notches better than say, Richmond public market food court)- you can't be disappointed.
Typical Chinese restaurant. #9 restaurant is gotta be one of the fastest restaurant I've been to. Once you make a reservation, it's like zip they get you in, zip they get your food on, zip they get you out. The food is pretty good, I especially liked the eggplant noodle thing. The service is very efficient.
Reasonable prices large partions. Okay service. Overall good. Will return. Oh and the food is tasty and consistant.
#9 does not carry you tiao?!?. Why sell congee when you don't carry you tiao? I checked whether they are out of stock or they don't carry it at all. #9 does not carry you tiao!
If you live in Richmond then you know that No. 9 is a classic way to end a late night out. No. 9 is open 24 hours. A traditional Hong Kong style restaurant, it offers almost any Cantonese dish imaginable. The menu is so long! I used to be very “anti” No. 9 but oh my god, I have definitely been missing out. It’s not that I’ve never eaten here before but I haven’t been here in years and I’ve always had such negative opinions on the place. I think the food tastes better at 2 am. We came here after celebrating Lianne’s birthday at Library Square. No. 9 is at Lansdowne Mall. Actually, it is right across from Kyung Bok Palace , where I had dinner just the previous night. We were seated promptly. The servers were so nice! I was kind of surprised since I subconsciously expected them to be rude and agitated. It was 2 in the morning.
Overall, the portions were all humongous. The food is by no means fine dining quality, but for a casual restaurant serving up comfort food, it was decent enough!
So, we all decided to eat with her. Why pass up a meal right?! =) My bro said he wasn't too hungry, so he only wanted an Iced Coffee (above left). Steph decided to get a
I started going to No. 9 Chinese Restaurant in Richmond back when I was still a student. This would be one of the few restaurants that still serve decent food
After reading Carl’s post about his Cheui Yuen Siu Gun experience, I decided it was about time to hit the old standby lunch spot, #9 Restaurant. Richmond has some really authentic Hong Kong style restaurants and #9 is as close to the real Hong Kong as you
Great experience with a last minute and late takeout order. Food was delicious and affordable. Love how they are open 24/7. This being said, there is obviously a small trade off with the quality of food and customer service but it was minimal. This needs to be understood when a place is pumping out over 800 different items of food literally 24 hours a day. Our food was hot and not too oily and had generous portions. Would recommend.
Same great food & service! Not the same great price!!
Was shocked to see how much the prices have jumped from 5 years ago. This used to be our go to place for late night eats after Friday Night Hockey.
Until we discovered late night eats at Silver Tower and Alleluia Cafe where free soup and tea were included with our meals.
All the dishes that were under $20 at #9 are now well over $20. There is also a 15% tip added to your bill for 6 or more people.
The Pepper Salt Chicken Wings and Pork Chops are just good as ever. Waiter was super friendly even at 11:30pm at night.
Will definitely be coming back. Just have to bring more money.
No.9 Restaurant is a 24/7 great place to enjoy Chinese cuisine especially in late evening. Lunch and late afternoon are busy time, waiting to be seated. The amazing food is served fast. We had yang chow fried rice, sweet@sour pork, lemon chicken with a yummy lemon dip. The price is worth the food quality and big portions. Service is efficient. We enjoyed the food and will recommend this place.

Didn’t realise it was a 24/7 restaurant! Being able to order Chinese fast food all night is a great plus! We went at 4pm, so we ordered from the afternoon tea menu which was a little cheaper than the regular menu for a smaller portion. The baked spaghetti was great and the soy sauce chow men was even better! Not too oily or salty. Would recommend to my friends who like to eat late.
You will be spoilt for choices here! They have easily more than 100 dishes to choose from. The noodle dish was delicious though I wish the noodle could be a little bit more springy. The star here is the roast duck. It was so flavourful and the spice really penetrated deeply into the meat. Price was a high, but expected for a 24h restaurant.
I visit the Vancouver area about once a year and always make an effort to come to No. 9. I’ve never been disappointed. What the waitresses lack in charisma is made up with the delicious food that is always served quickly.
This place is definitely now on the rotation.
We had Shrimp Wonton with noodles, Fish congee and Chinese donut to go with the congee. For drinks we got one hot and one cold milk tea, it all just hit the spot 👌🏻. It’s almost like a Chinese version of Dennys but a much larger food selection. And yes it’s 24hrs!
Price: Normal for what you’re getting.
Portion: Is on the average side of things when ordering the dishes we ordered.
Place: Not the cleanest (table was still sticky) but overall kind of clean inside. Loads of parking because it’s connected to a mall.
People: Kind and quick!
Always the favorite of many people. Tastes good and very big portions. Feels like eating in Hong Kong with the settings and the people talking in Cantonese. They open 24 hours!
