So after calling around I ended up going to Shoom on Fraser for the Lobster Rice, it's a bit smaller than I remember at Ho Yuen Kee but it was tasty, I think it was around $60.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is pretty good. It's not fancy like Sun Sui Wah but it ain't ghetto like Happy Family lol.
They took us into a back-back-back room that winds around behind the bar lol. I didn't even know they had that. Felt like a secret room.
We also had the peking duck and lettuce wrap, egg yolk ribs (I would have preferred the honey ribs) among other typical Chinese dishes. Nothing was extraordinary but it wasn't bad.
The most fucked up part was when the bill came and told us it was CASH ONLY ... like wtfbbqsauce what restaurant in Vancouver (not Richmond) sells expensive items like lobster and expects cash only?!... they made no mention of this when we called for reservations, and even called the day before to make sure I wanted to hold a lobster rice for me incase it was sold out. Super lame to have the whole family dig through their purses and wallets to chip in cuz nobody carries that much cash walking around... so just a heads up if you plan to order Alaskan King Crab and end up having to wash dishes haha.
