Grains Fish Noodles - Richmond

The grains fish noodles is a bit different from the typical rice noodle we have. Their soup base is a bomb ???? the fish noodle broth is so rich, it combines with pork soup. You can probably tell from its milky colour. The hint of sour and spicy adds more taste to it???? I will definitely go back and try other items!!!

The main reason for this post is the service that I have received at this location. I came here based on the promise of great fish noodles by Google Reviews. I was not disappointed by the quantity and quality of the food. Even though the fish had a faint earthy taste, the price was very low for what you are getting. Now onto the fun part. My first visit here was a few months ago, the lady at the cash register spoke condescendingly and was very unfriendly. She requested that I pay first, then I could be served. I was already seated at a table (assigned to me by her) and food has arrived when more customers came in and I was asked to move to another table because I was by myself and didn?t need as much space. That was fine, I assumed that she was having a bad day, finished my food and left. Today, on my way home, I decided to give this place another chance. Everything went well, I was seated, finished my food and went over to the cash register to pay. The noodles that I have ordered were $14.18; due to the fact that it?s cash only, I was rummaging through my wallet to find change. I gave the lady $15 and was in the process of trying to find some more coins for the tip; she counted the money and said, ?where?s the tip? This is not even 10%?. I had the intention of letting her keep the change and add a bit more on top that, hearing this comment, I stopped what I was doing and looked at her. She repeated herself and demanded me to give her a larger tip. To which I replied: is a tip mandatory? I give tips for the quality of service that I am getting. Then she said: if you tip for service, you should just stay home and make your own noodles. You know what? That is a great idea! Regardless of where I eat noodles in the future, I will definitely not be coming back here again. To the owner: maybe consider increasing the prices and pay your employees a bit more instead of having them drive customers away by demanding for larger tips with a horrible attitude.

Cute little place, staff super friendly! I had the hot and sour soup and my wife had the spicy intestine was so delicious! The noodles where perfectly cooked, the flavors where awesome! I love pepper corn numbness feeling! Highly recommend checking it out! FYI cash only.

My friend and I came here to give the food a try because of the recommendation of an Instagram food blogger and the good reputation on Google Review. We ordered 2 bowls of noodles, and they tasted okay with reasonable price at total of $27.50 before tax . As this place is cash only and considering the little service we received, we just give the lady $30, which is only 25cents less than a 10% tip of the value of what we ordered $27.5 x 1.1 $30.25). The lady then stopped us and said that $30 was not even 10%. We then gave her an additional $1 just because we tried to avoid conflicts. However, the lady was not satisfied, she told us that $31 was still not enough for a 10% tip and asked if we don 't know how to do math when we were confused. Anyways, according to her, we have to give her a 10% tip on the total with tax included , which is $28.88x1.1 $31.77. The lady let us go after we paid a total of $31.6x by giving all the changes my friend had in his wallet. Being forced to give a certain amount of tips was a very AWFUL experience especially when I believed that THEY DO NOT DESERVE THE AMOUNT OF TIPS. The lady did minimum things of her job duties giving menus, taking orders, serving foods, taking away the empty bowls). No greetings and smiles at all. She said less than 5 sentences What do we want to order; They don 't have the tomato soup, you 're welcome, and if she can take away the empty bowls) to us. I think the tip we originally had was already generous. Most importantly, I honestly NOT SURE WHY WE HAVE TO TIP ON THE TAXES AS WELL. If you are an employee and don 't get paid enough, ask your employer to pay you more. If you are an employer and believe that customer didn 't give your employees enough tips, raise your price ad improve your service. Tips are not mandatory with your poor quality of service.

The original fish soup noodles was amazing. Delicious fish broth, bouncy noodles, good portion of fish, and with a bit of veggies. The rice bowl was just okay.
