Reviews of Mrs. Riches Restaurant (Catering)

So happy they are open again. I love their war wonton absolutely delicious

Arthur Chocholacek

Featured on "You Gotta Eat Here", and boasting award winning wonton soup, we thought we'd stop in for lunch, finding the place mostly empty at noon on a Saturday. I started with the wonton soup, and got a small bowl with a lot of vegetables that I feel don't add much. Big, boring chunks of broccoli, carrot and cauliflower take up important broth and wonton space! Broth is pretty good. Wontons are large but a bit bland. I'm not sure what the comparison was but I think the pool must have been pretty small. I ordered the bacon onion brioche burger and fries. The burger was substantial, but otherwise unremarkable, despite having bacon, cheese, onions and onion rings on it. House fries aren't bad. Middle of the road, but they also have little competition from anything else, so maybe they just seem better than they are. Partner had the fish and chips with prawns, which were unfortunately, one of the worst plates we've had in the city so far. The fish is VERY heavily breaded, which makes it extra greasy, and really makes it taste of the fryer, and there was universally more breading than fish. The accompanying tartar sauce was not great, and the 5 small grilled(?) Prawns tasted of nothing but salt. The only thing that might draw me back here is the foolish k2 burger challenge, because I'm a sucker for absurdity. (I will at least suggest that they subscribe to the US theory of 'more is better' because you get a LOT of food even on the normal orders) With all respect to John Catucci, you absolutely don't gotta eat here. The above with sodas (free refills) came to $46 before tip.

Got the Swiss alps burger, and with the exception of cheap buffets, that's probably the most food you can get for 25 bucks. I was really hungry and that more then filled me up.

Mrs riches you can never go wrong , always excellent, good size portion off fish a chips . Service good food good just the parking is always a problem but this time we got right to the door.

Cam Surette

Tried to order delivery at 5:55pm from Skip the Dishes, got my order ready, pressed send, “Restaurant closed” popped up. Called supposed “closed” restaurant and placed an order for pick up. Magically they were open, got the food back to the hotel room to discover missing items and a Mandarin Chicken Salad that had no chicken….at $19.47 please ensure there’s chicken….step up your game a bit. Covid or not….

Great food, good prices, decent portions, nice staff... What more could you want. There was a short waiting time to get in however, but the food was worth it.

Pgee King

Loved it! Friendly service, lovely looking restaurant, and I know it's been said all over here but the Wor Wonton is incredible!

Tony Free

Gonna be honest, thought this place was going to be a bit cheesy and lacking substance, but the service was incredible and food was really good too. I had the onion burger and fries which was very well done. My girlfriend had the war won ton soup. Who'dathunk that a place could make a good burger and a good war won ton soup? But they did. Both were good. Did I mention the service was great?

Alixandria Ashbaugh

Great job with the patio tents! Nice outdoor but dry atmosphere...great food and excellent service ...fair prices too.. glad we came..thank you!!

John Tait

Food was good, staff was GREAT. The place does need a serious dusting though. Cobwebs span the ceiling in the entrance. Not little cobwebs either; these suckers are 6+ ft and span from wall to wall and are thick.

Doug Voth

Great burger. Did a pickup order, as we were driving through. No napkins or ketchup in the bag. Guess I should have checked before I left.

Bob Wolbeck

Old fashioned restaurant with great food. Really enjoyed our meal.

Veronica Szick

Delicious wor won ton soup!

Love this place, just finished eating here with my buddy. I had the beef dip, very soft bun and prime beef that melts in your mouth with a delicious Au Jus. He had the chicken cordon bleu burger and told me it was delicious. Great food, great service!

David Domalain

The food here is always great and the wor wonton here ruins all other wonton soup it is so freaking good! I would give it 5 stars if the atmosphere was a bit nicer. It isn't bad just not my thing. Never had bad service. It is one of my go to's

R J Hurst

Han was great had our order ready right when he said it would be. He took a moment to share a picture of his dogs with us. After we told him we were eating in our truck so our dogs weren't alone to long. We had a wrap and a burger both were …

Comfort food at its finest this restaurant will not disappoint. Be ready to bring your appetite as you are guaranteed to leave satisfied. Fair price for the portion. My recommendation, try the war wonton with mozzarella garlic bread, but then again everything else is pretty good. Feeling like a little challenge? try defeating the k2 burger challenge in under an hour in the ring for a free shirt, meal, and your picture on the wall of fame.

I'm from Edmonton and came to visit family in Nanaimo. We came there last night for supper for my parents 47th Anniversary. Wow all the meals we had were delicious, the prices are great and the staff are fantastic!! Absolutely love the old diner style with all the memorabilia, sure is a great conversation over dinner. Thank you Mrs Ritchie for a fantastic dining experience!!! Will be back again soon! Highly recommend!!

Cindy Cooper

My husband is very disappointed to say his delicious beef dip did not compare to his wife's teriyaki chicken Alfredo with sautéed mushrooms. There fore he had to enjoy both meals to his great satisfaction . . ????

Dave Haslam

I have never been so sick from food poisoning as I did from here

Hurricane McLean

"It's OK" is a great way to describe this restaurant. The food was pretty decent and they had a large menu but ever time I go there the price tag keeps going up and the food seems to be prepared with less and less care. The servers are …

Roger Peterson

I had a serious case of the munchies and was super hungry. Mrs. Riches served me the biggest burger I ever had in my life. I was so full...it was so good. I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day after eating there. Keep up the good work. I will be back for another burger soon.

Great food with incredibly friendly staff. We did not attempt the 2K Mountain Burger challenge but did enjoy some of the other food. The Wonton Soup was delicious!

Tim Gagnon

Surprised a friend by taking her here. She absolutely loved it and so did I. Prices might seem high but it lives up to the quality. It was dead at lunch time so we got to take a venture around the restaurant and have a gander

Sampled a number of their items ranging from beef dip to the fish and chips. All done very well and they paid attention to some of the request changes without added cost. Area was clean and not crowded. Liked the way they furnished the place. Highly recommend.

War Wonton Soup was the best I've ever had with lots of huge wontons, & the seafood platter was perfectly prepared with soft juicey & flaky fish & perfect prawns! Unique, funky atmosphere too.
