RICHMOND PUBLIC MARKET FOOD COURT

Think all food courts are created equal? Think again. As any food court foodie will let you know, there are always specific outlets in specific places that make meals that punch far above what you might expect. Such is the case at the Richmond Public Market, where there are a number of very good Chinese regional shops as well as the excellent Taiwan-style deep-fried spicy chicken nuggets at Chef Liu Kitchen. Mmmm, crispy, salty, tangy and juicy inside, these are some serious nibbles. Pair with a soup from Xi’an Cuisine and you’ve got lunch.

When: Daily, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Where: 8260 Westminster Hwy., Richmond Info: facebook.com
