Memory Corner: Richmond's Award-Winning Taiwanese Restaurant with a Retro Taipei Street Vibe
Memory Corner on Garden City Road in Richmond is one of Metro Vancouver's most celebrated Taiwanese restaurants. It has been named Best Taiwanese Restaurant by the Chinese Restaurant Awards several times, won dish awards for its braised pork rice and popcorn chicken, and was one of the awards' Top 50 Honourees for Canada in 2025.
Here's why Memory Corner is worth the trip.
About Memory Corner
Memory Corner is a tribute to the owner's grandparents, and its interior, with decorations custom-made in Taiwan, recreates the feel of Taiwanese streets in the 1980s. Vintage mailboxes greet you at the door, and there is even a children's play area with a treehouse.
The family business has been going for three generations, and its success led to a sister dessert shop, Sweet Memory.
