Kam Ho Noodle Express

One of my friend kept on talking about this place and his go to place for wonton noodle soup and Hainanese chicken take out whenever he's in the Richmond area. Had the opportunity to tried their noodle soup at the Richmond night market but I craved for how they are at their actual home base.
This place is located on the second floor at the food court in the Admiralty Center in Richmond. There are plentiful of free parking spaces in this old plaza. It's pretty much across the street from Bubble Queen. The whole food court closes at 4pm so keep that in mind.
To be honest I didn't know there's a food court in this center. Anyways, here were the food I ordered;

1. Wonton noodle soup. The wontons were very old school way which I enjoyed cause that's exactly how I liked them when I was a kid, taste wise and all, fresh and simple to the point. The egg noodles were good, no waxy and gamey taste. And the soup was hot with that wonton flavour.
2. The house special noodle soup. It's pretty much all the meats, meatballs and a pig feet. All the ingredients tasted fresh and tender, very nice!
3. Hainanese chicken. Got the last half of it, customers behind were told all sold out. The free range chicken was really fresh, nice subtle Hainanese chicken taste with a thin layer of Hainanese chicken oil visible on the skin. Juicy and tender! Loved it!

I guess this little plaza like many others that were built in the early 90s are slowly forgotten and less human presence because it just didn't quite kept up with time and trend. However, some of these places hide some of the best little places.
Thank goodness for once my friend's recommendation is decently good. For those of you who enjoy some tasty old school wonton or assorted beef noodle soup or good Hainanese chicken then give this place a try if you haven't. Solid 3.5 stars, definitely a repeat for me.

Been a loyal customer of Kam Ho Restaurant from the mid 1990s (from it's initial location in Union Square Shopping Center to it's second home on Alexandra Road) to it's most current incarnation in the food court of Admiralty Center.

I ordered their famous wonton noodle soup. The H.K. style noodles were simmered perfectly with a chewy texture, kind of makes me feel I'm back enjoying hawker food in Hong Kong. The pork and shrimp wontons were of a good portion size. I did find though the soup was a little salty, probably too mush MSG. Not bad for $7.50 all in.

The place only takes cash like all the other vendors in the food court. Due to the pandemic seating is limited so you may have to wait awhile for another parton to finish before getting a seat.

There is plenty of free parking on the upper and lower levels of the mall's parking lot.

note: theyre closed on mondays. the owner/cashier polite&accommodating. the special noodle soup quite good. the hainan chicken good too and the wanton noodle soup . ambiance , quite busy place. this area is cleaner compared to odlin crescent building .very long line. service fairly quick.
take out not bad too

The hai nan chicken meal is unassuming and so fresh!! The $12 meal comes with rice, soup and 2 sauces. My young kiddos ate every bite!! Strangely, I really enjoyed the Chinese soup. Long line but moves pretty quickly.

Today hours and $won ton noodle: 11-4pm Tues-Sat and $10. Including tax. Closet to the one I remember from HK, recommended by a local that I met from another food court.

Returned late one afternoon May 2019 and all the boil chicken was sold and settled for the a-la-carte wonton.
Few days later with wifey & in-laws we made sure to arrive when they opened and scored the best chicken rice w/o having to take a 19hr flight home to Singapore. 1/2 of chicken, (2) bowls of bonafide chicken rice we were having a good lunch.
To the left of the this stall is a stall that makes old school Chinese donuts you know the long fried dough that is connected with two. Sorry cannot spell the name of it but starts with C and sounds like "cruellurs". It drained or dry of oil inside that I am used to in the 60's & 70's.
Place gives (1) spoon, (1) chopstick, (4) napkins. I packed my own forks, spoons and paper napkins in my luggage to have a comfortable lunch. I feel if they wanted too, they could have given a whole lot more napkins.

Located in the food court of the plaza. Very fast and friendly owners. It is at a lower price point compared to dine in restaurants of course. The food is just as good or even better than other wonton restaurant joints. I highly recommend the beef brisket with wontons with the dry noodles. This place serves a good portion and the food is tasty. Everything has flavour especially the dry noodles compare to other places. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a quick meal and good wonton noodles.

Wonton Noodles are soo delicious. Super affordable and gives a warm feeling. Great portion size, noodles have great texture and the broth/ wontons have lots of flavour!

Still the best Hainanese Chicken in town; their noodles and also beef brisket is also the best in Richmond!!

There were more people in this hidden food court than I expected for a weekday afternoon. Parking here was easier than other Asian malls in Richmond.

I had the wonton noodle soup combo with hot milk tea ($8 CAD, I think they only accept cash). The noodles somehow had the perfect texture; they were not too hard and not too mushy. The wontons were really good and probably among the best I have had. The pork and shrimp filling had a good kick from white pepper. Finally, the broth wasn't too salty. Definitely one of many hidden gems in Richmond. I want to try the Hainan chicken next time.
