But I really enjoyed the one here, which was smaller and much less doughy. And for $7.99, it is a heck of a deal. I have never seen any other place that offers a smaller version or charges less than 12 bucks!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4816-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4816-0.jpg\" alt=\"Seafood Pancake @ Samsoonie\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seafood Pancake @ Samsoonie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Spicy Dumplings ($7.99) is another steal. We all thought it was a small appetizer, but it came with a lot veggies and it was a friggin full meal! However beware of the spiciness of the sauce, because it could be a bit much for some folks. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4817.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4817.jpg\" alt=\"Spicy Fried Dumplings @ Samsoonie\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spicy Fried Dumplings @ Samsoonie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Pork Bone Ramen ($9.99) was gigantic, and LoLo couldn&#8217;t finish it at all.

This is a personal size and it&#8217;s great because it is usually a bit pot for 2-3 people and costs over $25. At first the flavours were more subtle than I expected, they sank in gradually and I could clearly taste the special spices. And the flavours lingered. It was awesome!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4819.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4819.jpg\" alt=\"Pork bone and potato hot pot\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pork bone and potato hot pot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The only negative thing I could say about this place is they seem a little under staff, and the service is a little slow. I think they know about this too. There was a big party of more than 10 people came in after us, and the server had to write a note on the door to keep people from coming in. Nevertheless, if you could be a little patient, the food and valued here are rewarding!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4799.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_4799.jpg\" alt=\"Samsoonie Noodle and Rice\" width=\"1200\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samsoonie Noodle and Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Map and other reviews:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/vancouver\/samsoonie-noodle-rice-central-richmond\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Click to add a blog post for Samsoonie Noodle &#038; Rice on Zomato\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/16628351\/ibiglink\" style=\"border:none;width:200px;height:146px;padding:0px;\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Jac recommended this place so we decided to give it a go after badminton.
