No. 9 Restaurant

We went to No. 9 because the parking lots of two of the places we wanted to go were really really busy. Sigh, when will Richmond be car friendly? Anyway No. 9 restaurant is a very popular 24/7 Chinese restaurant where you can get a variety of Chinese food at a decent price, decent taste and convenience. There is so many things to choose from I doubt anyone has ate every single dish here. You often see 3-4 menus on average once you are seated.
Sorry for the blurry photo, but it was thundering lions so I was quickly pacing inside. I'm sure EVERYONE knows where it is now. If not, it is facing No.3 road in Landsdown mall. Parking is plentiful.
As usual, the place is fairly busy no matter what time it is. I'm very impressed at how well they do over these years. Ambience is very busy with servers and people moving around no matter where you look. Service as expected is pretty much described as giving you the menu, taking orders and giving you the bill. We ordered a 3-course meal for $33.95 which were all decent. All 3 dishes came very quickly.
Here is a the "BBQ combo" which has chinese style sweet soy sauce pork "char siu", and fried pork "siu yok". I'm actually not really sure how the fried pork is prepared. You always see them hanging as a whole pig in front with the orange fried skin. Do they literally throw the whole pig on a large fire grill and grill it?
Above is the Beef and Brocolli and below is the Chicken with pepper sauce that you don't see very well . Although both dish were pretty simple, it tasted good and there were generous amounts of meat on both dish.
Overall, the food was decent, came quick and price was decent so who argue with that? To be specific on the food, personally, I find it is abit heavy on the sauce/grease and there definately is MSG because I had to drink water non-stop that night. And if you are looking for something "nice", this is probably not the place for you. No. 9 will always be in the back of my head if I cannot think of something and just want some food.
Some menus below:

    I've seen this restaurant, and looking at your pictures now, I just really think of Hon's o_o

    Hi Lenners,

    Thanks for visiting our blog! Yes it really is a Hon's that is opened 24/7. I think taste and selection wise, it is very similar to Hon's perhaps just SLIGHTLY better. But people mostly come here for convenience and the 24/7.
