Double Double Restaurant 老油条 - Richmond, British Columbia

this place gets 5 stars. the food is so good, the service is also excellent. the crab nooodles is very recommended, and the others, i don’t know what they’re called. be ready to queue up during dinner time. plenty of parking here also. toilets are so-so.

- The $14.80 "Tendon Lomein 牛筋撈" tasted pretty good, although its size isn't that much more than those at food courts. At least it has little to no alkaline taste, which is good. There were, however, very few tendons, and the tendons were scraps rather than big, thick ones. That ... was kind of a disappointment. - The $10.80 "Hong Kong Style Sampan Congee 艇仔粥" is a bargain yet delicious. It is one of the better sampan congees we have ever eaten, tasty but not strongly or heavily flavored. - The $3.95 "Sweet Chinese Donut 牛脷酥" is also one of the best we've ever eaten, even better than those in Hong Kong. Most of those were sold stale, cold, or reheated when served. Double Double's donuts were served warm and crispy, as if they were just made. It was also not too sweet, perfect for my taste. Worth returning... . Read more

We came on a Saturday and there were a lot of people waiting. We waited around 15-20 minutes for a table. As turnover is so fast they don't have enough time to clean the tables. It feels a bit sticky inside We ordered fish and peanuts congee ($9.50), fish maw and ... sea slug congee ($13.95), salty chinese Donut ($3.95), wonton ($12.95), crispy fish lo me (13.80) and sweet chinese Donut (3.95) The fish and peanut congee had lots of peanut inside. One bowl is around 4 small bowls of congee. Lots of ingredients inside. Their congee is very smooth and the rice grains have almost disappeared. The salty chinese Donut and the sweet chinese Donut are both either over fried or the oil is old. Both of these were too dark. The salty chinese Donut was crispy but didn't taste fresh. Would not get these again The other fish maw congee we got did not actually have fish maw in it. It was actually fish stomach. But it was still not bad The highlight here is ALWAYS the fried shrimp wonton. They have the best fried wonton. They are fried perfectly crispy and fresh the shrimp is just cooked and super crunchy. Perfectly seasoned and that sweet and sour sauce they provide gives it that perfect sweetness. If I could I would come here and just order this one dish. The lo men was meh. Very dry (i know its a dry noodle but still too dry). Noodle wasn't chewy enough. The flavour wasn't what I was looking for (if you know what I mean). It was lacking that extra something something. Wouldn't recommend Overall service was non existent. Only one lady could take orders it seems. Food came out super fast and super hot. Definitely get the fried wonton. Skip the deep fried donuts. Congee is not bad Read more

All operated in Hong Kong restaurants style. Foods, services and vibe. No fancy or fine dining expectations, however high efficient services and delicious dishes (lots of options). Fresh make Crispy Chinese Donut wrapped with Rice Rolls. Great deal on set meal (lots of item combinations/selection)

There was a long wait despite our reservation, and it was very busy in the restaurant. There were many options on the menu and we tried their famous fried dough and rice rolls which were good. The congee was very liquid and did not resemble typical congee. The wontons and ... dumplings were great. There is a wide variety of food, some better tasting than others. Read more
