Once More Restaurant Review – Decent Northeastern Chinese Eats!

📍 Once More Restaurant (Richmond location) 💰 Price: Moderate () • Best for: Casual group meals 🍽️ What We Ordered ✅ Corn Fritters – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet, crispy, and addictive! Fresh corn kernels fried to golden perfection—must eat immediately for maximum crunch. The standout dish! ✅ Guo Bao Rou – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Old-school sweet & sour pork with a strong vinegar punch. Crispy coating, but meat gets tough if it cools down. ✅ Braised Pork Belly with Beans & Noodles – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soy-heavy, homestyle flavor. My friend said "my dad makes it better"—but it’s decent. ❌ Balaguo Hot Pot – ⭐️⭐️ Meat was dry, and we accidentally burned the bottom. Not the best. ✅ Di San Xian– ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Standard stir-fry—potatoes, eggplant, peppers in brown sauce. Solid but not memorable. 💡 Final Thoughts ✔ Corn fritters are a MUST. ✔ Good for nostalgic Northeastern flavors, but not the best in town. ✔ Service & ambiance are pleasant. Would I return? Maybe just for the corn fritters! #VancouverEats #ChineseFood #RichmondBC #NortheasternCuisine #ComfortFood
