To tip or not to tip, when restaurant is forcing you to tip!
First, server told us what we wanted was sold out. At 12 noon. Restaurant was not full, and seemed they just opened up. We ordered something different instead and a sub from plain to fried rice. Again, server said it would cost us $1 more, then came back to say sub price was $3. When food came, fried rice was just yellow rice, barely warm, and no veg. Sweet and sour pork was just mid in taste. We did not finish our food coz they’re mid. A lady came for our bill, and we paid separately. First off was our colleague who paid with her debit card. Lady had the audacity to ask her if she’s giving the tip manually. Our colleague said “why?”, lady then said condescendingly that Redbud was a restaurant, not food court, “we provide service with your food” and thus expected tips for the service. So we said, we were disappointed because what we ordered was sold out. She turned out to be the manager, and verified with the kitchen our concern. She came back and clarified that the day delivery, that included the rice noodles, was late and didn’t make it for the lunch orders. She gave a $5 coupon to make up for it, to our group of 4. We did give them a tip minimally as we believe tipping is commensurate to service and service experience. Server did not even refill our teas or followed through how our orders were, not that we expected that from a small low-priced restaurant.
Our take away from this was it was the first time for all of us to be directly asked for tips that we felt pressured. We all have eaten in all kinds of restos, including high end restaurants and are familiar and abide by tipping etiquettes and to be asked in our face for a tip was a first for us. I’m neutral re recommending this restaurant, just fair warning for “forced tips”.

Standard HK cafe fare. Service was passable but food was rather unremarkable.

Good value, clean, washroom is a step up compared to MANY Rmd eateries, consistently decent standard HK canteen styles, vast selections of it is hard to pick. Had a way better steak/shrimp plate than Cactus/Kegs just two days ago. So, yeah, let's not pull out the Michelin lense for a community restaurant that's trying to balance affordability and decency. P.S. they still provide 12% tip option which many places no longer do. Oh, and no Credit card accepted only cash or debit or WeChat/Alipay, cheers.

Hong Kong fast food; satay chow fun but didn’t have, substituted for satay canton chow mein and veggie stir fry. A little on the salty side but taste right!
Service is good and fast

I used to be a frequent take out customer at Red Bud Restaurant. Some of the dishes we really like are 咖哩牛脷飯，紅酒炆牛尾，豆腐班腩煲. Though they give you 10% discount for take out orders, what really annoys me is the charge for boxes and bags, $0.50 for box and $0.25 for bag. The extra charges basically even out with the 10% discount. Do you expect people to bring in their own boxes to order take out?
Today I ordered my mom's favorite 豆腐班腩煲 again. I don't blame them for increasing the price as ingredients cost rise up too but the quantity shrinks a lot. As I opened the box, I could see many 雲耳，紅蘿蔔，zucchini; there is only 4 to 5 pieces of 班腩 and no sight of any 豆腐. They are charging for $26. The owner is one of the chefs. I don't think I am going to 幫襯 anymore. It's a rip-off.
We went for the King crab dinner combo, stirred fried tasty cube steak with zucchini, crispy and tasty roasted pork knuckle, steamed king crab legs, not crispy enough deep fried king crab legs, baked scallops and crab fried rice with a lot of cheese, mixed vegetables tomato soup and Chinese chicken feet soup for dinner. Service was fast and friendly.

Feels like their focus is on Chinese dishes and bigger tables at night.
Added money for puff pastry but the soup is not filled in. Less than half full. Pastry was not flaky either.
Chicken and sauce wasn't bad.
Value not there as there are better places in Richmond for Western hk style dishes like this for similar price, eg, includes both drink and soup plus also banana crepe for dessert for similar price.
It is convenient to have both Chinese dishes for night and Western stuff available though if people like different cuisines within the same table.

The food here is on par with other HK-style cafes, but they're on the pricier side and their portion is on the smaller side. They also have a minimum charge, so make sure everyone who comes is hungry.
Their red bean ice is good, but there are other places that do it better.

A very nice restaurant in Richmond.
