Vancouver Eats | The Coziest Homestyle Chinese Food 🏡🍲

Finally tried Geng Shi Ji —the homestyle Chinese restaurant everyone’s been raving about! Last time, I was turned away because it was fully booked, but this time, I reserved in advance and got to experience its warm, comforting flavors. 📍 Geng Shi Ji – Richmond 💰 ~$50 CAD per person 📌 Pro Tip: Always call ahead—even on weekdays, it’s packed! 🍽️ MUST-TRY DISHES 1️⃣ Clay Pot Chicken 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ A whole tender chicken simmered until falling-off-the-bone soft. ✔ Lightly seasoned—just dip the meat in the savory juices for pure comfort. ✔ Bonus: Hidden braised pork trotters at the bottom—rich & gelatinous. 2️⃣ Sour Chili Beef 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ ✔ Tender beef with a slight chew, tossed with pickled chilies (tangy but not overpowering). ✔ Subtle heat—perfect with steamed rice. 3️⃣ Perilla Clams🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Shell-free clam meat = more meat, no hassle. ✔ Stir-fried with purple perilla, garlic, chili—fragrant & addictive. 4️⃣ Peanut & Lotus Root Pork Rib Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Small but hearty—ideal for 1-2 people. ✔ Clear, nourishing broth with soft ribs, crunchy lotus root, and peanuts. 💡 WHY IT’S SPECIAL? ✅ No heavy sauces—just clean, homely flavors. ✅ Portions look small but are deceptively filling. ✅ Thick menu = endless options to explore next time. #VancouverEats #HomestyleCooking #RichmondFoodie #ComfortFood #ChineseCuisine
