The food court at Aberdeen Centre in Richmond's Golden Village suits food lovers who want to graze through dozens of Asian stands on a budget, and the catch is payment, since Tourism Richmond says many stands take only cash, or cash and debit.

Tourism Richmond counts dozens of stands in the Aberdeen Centre food court, from rare outposts of big Asian chains to family-run counters with loyal regulars. The mall sits steps from Aberdeen station on the Canada Line. Lunchtimes and weekends get busy. Tourism Richmond suggests eating off-peak and walking a lap of the court before you choose.
Saboten Japanese Cutlet is the first Canadian outlet of an Asian chain with more than 500 locations, and its tonkatsu draws a line that moves fast. Wu Fung Dessert is known for street-style chicken wings, and it serves them hot in portions of three to 12 pieces. On a cold day the lamb soup at Lamb Specials Express or the baked pork chop on rice at Mambo Cafe will carry you through an afternoon of shopping. Add a Hong Kong milk tea at Mambo.
The mall opens at 11 am every day. It closes at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and at 7 pm the rest of the week. Since the Richmond Night Market closed in September 2026, this court is the handiest place in the Golden Village to try many stalls in one sitting.
Worth knowing
- Carry cash, because Tourism Richmond says many stands take only cash, or cash and debit.
- Eat before noon or late in the afternoon on a weekday, when the busiest stands have shorter lines.
