Great Grain Food — Restaurant in Richmond

Visited Friday November 22 morning and the rudest young lady served me. She looked like she didn’t want to be working there at all - super pissed off face . I was picking up an order of steamed rice roll and green onion pancake and I needed it in a takeout box and they served it on a plate. They did not ask if it was for dine in or take out when paying so I asked her if I can get the rice roll in a takeout box and she transferred it for me but told me takeout box is $0.50 extra charge so I said sure no problem can I pay by card and she said cash only. I told her I didn’t have cash and she just repeated cash in chinese like she gave no care in the world. I just said sorry I don’t have $0.50 cash on me and she poured the steam rice roll from the takeout box which was already used to the plate again all because I didn’t have $0.50 on hand. For a food court stall isn’t it a given there’s a mix of dine in and take out customers why would you charge extra for takeout anyway? So petty of a woman, won’t visit again. Rice roll was just OK and green onion...

This restaurant is located inside Yaohan Centre food court. We decided to eat here as there was a few items that were reasonably priced and looked good.

So we ordered Cold Noodles ($5), Pork Burger ($2.50), Fish Congee ($5), Shrimp Wonton 6pc ($7), Beef Rice Roll & Noodle Combo ($10). Once your food is ready, they have sauces at the front for you to help yourself to. The cold noodle was not bad as the noodles were chewy and paired the vinegar flavour with spicy sauce gave it a good kick. The pork burger was so so as there wasn't much filling. The fish congee was pretty good as it was smooth and thick. The shrimp wonton was good as it was pretty big but for the price, it was alright. The beef rice & noodle combo was pretty filling. The rice roll was steamed perfectly and went well with the hoisin and sesame sauce. This combo came with a side soup that was similar to the soup for the shrimp wonton.

One complaint was that the hot foods were not that hot and were warm at best. Will come back here if we have a craving for rice rolls, congee or...

I came here after seeing recommendations for the Shrimp Fish Rice Rolls, but unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy them. The flavour was quite bland, even when paired with the sauce. I also didn't like the green sprouts inside.

I also ordered the 皮蛋瘦肉 congee. It was decent overall. There's not a lot of pork or century egg, but fair given the price. My biggest issue was the raw green onions on top. They used a lot, including many of the white parts. I usually don’t mind green onions, but this was overwhelming. If you’re not a fan of green onion, definitely ask them to leave it off.

Service-wise, when I asked for water, they didn’t offer it for free, which was disappointing. The girl at the cashier was friendly, but the gentleman (possibly the owner) wasn’t as pleasant, so one...
