This is just like any other HK Cafe out there. Minimal service, cheap food. Why else would anyone go to a HK Cafe? You get in there, you order, you do the ritual cleansing of untensils with hot tea, you eat, you pay, you leave. It's simple and quick, no extras. To those unfamiliar with HK Cafes, think DINER. Don't expect 5 star service and spotless forks. As with many HK Cafes in Richmond, the people who work there AND the people who eat there are Chinese. If your Chinese sucks and you feel overly sensitive about it, go to Earls. If you're not Asian and you feel uncomfortable in predominantly Asian environments, go to Earls. The food is your standard fare. I find it to be better than many of the HK Cafes in Richmond. They are reasonably priced, the portions are big, and it tastes pretty good. One more note - why oh why would anyone have seafood in a restaurant that doesn't specialize in it? If you do, don't expect fresh - that applies to restaurants beyond HK Cafes.

I agree with Bob. Good food and nice place to unwind and check out the peeps. I also agree with Isabel, the burgers and soup are always good. The gals working there are kind of pretty, but UGLY is to the bone baby! I felt like I had to leave a huge tip, other wise it would be announced once I left.I heard the staff openly putting down customers, after they had left the place of course, no courage to walk from bar to table and pace drinks on table. Just nice boobs and "kind of pretty". I did in fact leave a  a very good tip however, I wrote my tip on the napkin, "Stop dissing customers in front of other customers, you'll get better tips." Cheer up girls, go back to school or get another job. This is service industry and we are making money by being great servants. The better we serve the better the money. If you gals worked in one of my restaurants and talked that openly and negatively about customers in front of other customers, I'd fire you, then have you stripped naked and pissed on. 2 forks because the food is good. Happy Canada Day everyone.

I lived in Richmond for 18 years, and I can hardy think of any other place good as this one if you want to treat yourself.  Even my mom would bring her "classy" friends there for drinks too! Their small plates are wonderful!  Crab cakes, clams, salmon tartar, and black truffle soup are all time fave.  For big dish, their duck is a must try item even you don't like duck in general. (My boyfriend would sometime order extra one to bring home to his mom!) We had the chocolate lava cake tonight, and that was stunning! Will surely go back! I recommend to go their in the weekend when they have the live music!  You can even make somg request to the singer, she is awesome!  

It is newly introduced to me by a friend. She suggested the place because the place was authentic (operated by Japanese). Although they do not have many selections in the restaurant, I think it is just enough for you to try something different. It is not like any other regular Japanese restaurant. This would be a place where you don't order sushi to eat. It is more like rice bowl or udon. I had the deep fried pork cutlet rice (w/salad & miso soup). The portion is just right, and the price is very reasonable. It is inexpensive at all. If people are looking for a nice & different place to try our lunch/dinner, then I would suggest this restaurant. It is in a Japanese senior home's first floor. So first timers might be curious about the place. There are many outsiders who come into the restaurant to try their rice bowls/udon out. It is surprisingly well known, as there was a long line up waiting for seats when my friends and I went there.

The customer service is almost non existent. The owner is extremly rude (yea, even by Vancouver's standards), and the quality of the food was not worth the trip! The server never approached us to ask if we want anything, but the manager was quite angry that we hadn't ordered anything! My friends or I will never step foot in that place again.  

Well not to sure what BOB's problem is I went to the Amsterdam Cafe just a short while ago and had one meaty burger and a fistfull of friendly girls serving me, my partner had a wonderfull bowl of french onion soup and not to metion the great location for people watching but I can undersand how "BOB" might be offened as this place was filled with beautifull people and lot's of locals, even in the evening walking by that place is packed  poor ol BOB must be either one bitter "girl" for not getting a job there or one ugly perverted looking man that we can apparently find hanging out at "Seven".

Based on a really good experience I had from this restaurant a couple years ago, I visited this restaurant recently and was disappointed. The atmosphere and service are still nice, but the food was not prepared very well.  The dishes were either tasteless or too salty.  I hope that was just because I went there on the wrong day.

Overall unpleasant experience at this Bridges. I discovered a fly in a meal that was less than appealing anyway. I would not recommend this to anyone.  

the food is horrible, the servers think there gods gift to men(their not), and if you dont tip 50% they get pissed off. Good place for drinks and people watching if u dont mind tipping large for shit service

This place is killer. Most fun ive ever had at a restaurant. The food was awesome.The bruschetta bread is the best ive ever had, the sliders i'm totally in love with, they also serve this vietnamese soup, i think its pho bo or something like that and i f'n love it. The restaurant itself is really casual and everyone there seems to be havin a good time. Cant wait to check out the patio this summer, I just hope its as much fun as sitting at the bar was this winter. Going back for sure
