For some reason, I find that the Deer garden in Richmond just isn't near the same quality as the one in Vancouver on Fraser.
Whenever I order the peanut and chilli sauce soup in the Richmond location, it's fucking disgusting. Like the soup is completely heterogeneous and is either watery with peanut sauce floating at the surface or there's foamy chunks of it on the side of the bowl.
The one in vancouver is pretty consistent and the soup well mixed and homogeneous and thicker like they added in more sauce.
Personally, if I had to pick between Cattle cafe and Deer garden Richmond (which happens to be in the same complex) I'd go for Cattle Cafe.
It's like the opposite in Vancouver though, Cattle Cafe sucks in Vancouver (and including the one in Burnaby across from metro) and Deer garden is good.
