Took mom and pops to Mui Garden in Richmond this weekend and was happy to have had another "solid" experience. Ordered a bunch of canton favorites, (gai-lan beef, curry brisket, yang-chow fried rice, sweet and sour soup and house-special fried noodles) and found everything to be tasty but just "average" in the Richmond area.

The curry beef brisket was the headliner here since they are known for their curry and it did not disappoint. Excellent dish.

Service, value, and ambiance are all in line with typical restaurants of this nature. You don't visit for any of these three points, you are here for the curry.

Will visit again ...

This place was recommended by a co-worker. Yes, their curries are VERY good! We had the beef brisket. We also had the poached chicken - what they're famous for. I've had better. Value wise, we thought it was kinda pricey for what we got. The portions were on the smaller side. The lady behind the counter was a little rude. We will return for the curries.

Ordered the curry laksa noodle for lunch and it was great value for $6.50 (for $6.95 will get you a drink with your order). I really enjoyed the home-made laksa gravy, could see and taste chunks of dried shrimp and shallots and that's a "good thing" as Martha always says. The toppings included 2 pieces each of squid, fried tofu, prawns, fishballs, and half a boiled egg.

Service was friendly and efficient.

Recommended!

Food: For lunch/tea time, I usually get the Baked Crispy Fish with Portuguese Sauce on Rice and it's usually pretty good (though a little bit too oily). For dinner, the curries and the Hai Nan Chicken are all time favourites. Their Chinese food is pretty authentic and pretty good compared to other Chinese restaurants.
Service: Service here is satisfactory. Sometimes, waitresses bang silverware on tables and such, but they do refill tea and respond when you ask for their attention.
Value: A decent value for this quality of food. Lunch/tea time set menus are usually $6-10 and includes a drink while dinner set menus are approximately $12.50 per person (includes soup, rice and dessert)
Ambiance: when you first walk in, it smells musty but it's not too bad. There are plenty of seats but a little re-modeling could be done.

Being avid asian food fans and after having researhed on dinehere.ca reviews we decide that since we had to come to Richmond for errands we would try the Mui Garden on Minoru. The location is a bit obscure and we didn't realize that they had rooftop parking until after we had parked in the mall underground parking lot.
The ambience is typically asian with quite a few award certificates decorating the walls as well as some asian artwork. The seating is very modest and not flashy mostly made up of booths ,tables and chairs.

The menu is very extensive,,its hard to choose but there is also a chef recommended menu attached which made ordering easier for us.
Medium Won Ton soup to start ( warning,,,be hungry theres lots for 2)
Curried Beef brisket ( yellow curry) which was absolutly scrumptious
Beef in Black Bean sauce Chow Mein , another very tasty and yummy dish.

Needless to say we had leftovers and ate them for breakfast the next day!,,still just as tasty!

The Service was great,,,and the waitress was very talkative and told us about her having to work a split shift,,,,,We had a never ending supply of tea,,,although it was a bit watered down for my liking.

I would say if your in the area definatly stop in and give this Asian Gem a try,,,,try the Curry Beef Brisket,,,,I am going to try my hand at this great dish next Sunday for dinner!

A great find!

Mrs. C and I were once again in the ditch and she suggested MG. I love their "quite possibly the best" curry, and Mrs. C was craving some soup. We hurried into the restaurant and prepared to feast.

The ambiance was a little rough, and the place could use some extreme cleaning, but the server was friendly and efficient. They had a set dinner for $7.50, and for a buck more I could have bubble tea. I went for a beef brisket curry with rice, and a strawberry bubble tea. Pearls or jelly do not cost extra, which made the BBT a super value. Mrs. C had bitter melon with beef and black bean sauce on rice and the soup of the day, which was a nice Chinese pork soup. It was reported to be very satisfying. We also had roti which was pretty good. It came with more of the savory curry sauce.

My curry was excellent as usual, but I found the BBT to be a bit sweet. As for value, we both ate well for 20 bucks. Enough said.

Recommended.

Excellent value for the money. 11 people for dinner on a Sunday. Place was packed. We ordered 11 dishes including the specialty chicken and curry beef brisket. $138.00 before tip. Free soup and dessert. Even though the place was full service was exceptional. All patrons in the restaurant were oriental which to me is a good sign. To quote MacArthur "I shall return"

When it comes to dining in Richmond, you have a large variety of Asian restaurants and I am sure that the competition is fierce. If you don't cut it, you will soon be gone. This is one place that stands out and has staying power.

Have been here many times and again just a few days ago.

The staff are courteous and service is prompt and friendly. Food quality is good and we have never had a dish that disappointed. They serve one of the better hot and sour soups. Good regular Chinese fare. Have often ordered the same items as well as venturing out a bit with more variety and have not been disappointed. One of the best sweet and sour pork dishes around.

Decor is simple and plain but the place has a certain kind of ambiance and I guess it feels a bit like being in someone's living room. Definitely recommended.

I love the curry in this place it has the aromatic flavour of coconut mixed in just right. They also have two choices of plain rice or hainan rice. Whenever I come here I always get the hainan chicken and curry on the side (variety of choices for curry also) and the hainan rice. Might change it once in a while but the curry is a must.
