Dropped by here yesterday for a quick Chinese lunch. What you get for the price you pay is really worth it. We live in Surrey and we make a stop here everytime we're in Richmond. The flavor and the portion servings is topnotch!! Will be back again!!

There are several stalls selling rice dishes in Richmond public market.There is a room designated as a helper by the Hua Kee DepartmentAll because he has childhood memories of fried squid tentaclesSquid tentacles are crispy and thin enoughDeep fried and crispyThe squid is refreshing but not toughI really can’t stop eating it.Three meals for 15 mosquitoesThe lunch box is big enough for 2 peopleA look at today’s eating out index in VancouverIt’s the ideal choice for carrying large items with you.

We ordered two of the set menu's. It was definitely one of the top best experiences overall we've had with catering. ?Going through the menu with the staff changing items to our liking was no problem.Come time to our event date, everything was ready on time. The food was perfect.They even called us after 15 minutes to make sure we were on our way to pick it up. Everything was wrapped SO nicely, and was neatly packed 2 items to a box and brought outside to our car and loaded into for us.10/10 would definitely recommend.

At 10 o'clock on a weekday, I was thinking of eating porridge and rice rolls from the two houses next door, but the prices had gone up, so after some hesitation, I headed to Wa. If a combo says 2 items for $14 and 3 items for $15, everyone will choose $15. Since it had just opened, everything looked delicious. After some hesitation, I decided to order, and what surprised me was the way it was presented. Even with this, I can't stand the idea of putting food on top of other dishes. But I couldn't eat any more, so I ended up leaving it behind. It was even better than Panda Express in Honolulu. The taste was great, and I was satisfied with the way it was presented.

Food here is great! Cheaper than restaurants of course. But taste is comparable and even better than some Chinese restaurants. Though in mid-2023 they increased their price. Then I went back in August, price increased again. Then 2 weeks after that, price increased again. 2-meal combo increased from $11 to $14, 3-meal increased from $12 to $15. And my usual favourite special chowmein increased from $12 to $16. They don’t charge taxes here. Still pretty good for the price i think.

This is one of my favorite Asian places to get food. I have been coming here for lunch and dinner for 15 years straight as of this December and it has always been a great experience for me. All the staff since I first went 15 years ago as of December have been great and have had good customer service. All though there has been new owners and staff I have never had a issue with their service. It is by far one of the best Asian food places in the market and in Richmond. The food is cooked well in the morning and is delicious and the portions are always fair and a good size. I highly recommend the sweet and sour pork, pork belly, sparerib, chicken drum stick, calamari, shrimp, chicken with veggies. All the food though is all really great. If you are looking for great food with good friendly staff in a great atmosphere this is the place for you. Thank you Captain Wà for great years of great food and happy times, Captain Wà is truly a gem in Richmond city at very affordable prices.

A must try!! Great place for authentic Chinese food! Also very good value! $15 comes with 3 items with rice or noodle and it also comes with soup or tea! Super large portions! More than enough to feed two. There are other stands there that sell take out boxes as well but this one is the best!! Wish you have other locations as wellParking: Located at public market. Has a parkade. If travelling by transit, this is also transit friendly too!

My friend told us about getting a two/ three-dishes rice at the Richmond Public Market, so here we are. We picked Captain Wa simply because it seemed more people buying from them. Perhaps also because it was right at where people come out from the parking lot. They also seemed to offer more dish options.The portion is very generous like what it was famous for. We chose sweet and sour pork, stir fried beef with mushroom, onion and celery (mixed vegetables), and Sou sauce chicken. The lady was so nice that she gave us a bit of extra broccoli.Overall the food tasted quite good. Sweet and sour tasted what it supposed to be. Pork was rather fatty, but not too bad. Some of them might have more fat than meat.Stir fried beef with vegetables was alright. The beef was good. The typical texture you would expect at restaurant with a tiny touch of baking soda. It is difficult to not to overcook beef at home. One of the mushrooms was very big and might could have used more time to cook. There were not many slices of beef but mainly vegetables. It ended up a good balance as we only ordered meat.Soy sauce chicken was a good surprise. It tasted as good as those from a bbq specialty shop. It was still tender and juicy. If we come again, we will definitely want to have this again.For the combo, you can choose steam rice, fried rice or noodle. We choose fried rice and it was pretty good, not greasy at all!We ordered two juice drinks, one mango and one is guava. They did not taste very good. We would recommend to order those soft drinks that you would normally drink.With a three-dishes combo and two juice drinks, it costed $22. It was totally a bargain and a treasure in the times of increasing cost of grocery and inflation.
