IHOP

We ordered philly cheese steak, spicy chicken ranch and a banana Nutella crêpe.
The sandwiches were a bit bland and oily. Not a lot of flavour inside. Although the side order onions rings were crunchy and big.
Crepes was a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Pretty big portions.

This is top of the IHOP restaurants. Quick and friendly staff. Classic look outside and in. The food tastes good, properly cooked and no problems.

I sometimes come here to get very late brunch around 1pm. My favourite items are their crepes! Because I am such a big-​eater I always look for something big enough to satisfy my hunger. The servers here are always friendly regardless of lots of reviews saying their horrible services… I also like the fact that their food comes pretty quick. I only came in for their breakfast/​lunch but not for dinner so didn’t get to try their burgers.
Big Steak Omelette ($ 13.89)
Chicken Florentine Crepes (Bottom, $ 13.19) and Big Steak Omelette (Upper Left, $ 13.89) were both tasty. Florentine Crepes came with two crepes filled with grilled chicken breast, spinach, mushrooms, onions and Swiss cheese topped with hollandaise. Big Steak Omelette was as big as the size of two Florentine Crepes, consisting of steak, Cheddar cheese, hash browns, green peppers, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes and served with salsa on the side. I loved all of them. Tasty!
Chicken, Bacon & White Cheddar Crepes ($ 13.29) are pretty much the same as the Chicken Florentine except it was topped with White Cheddar cheese instead of Swiss Cheese with hollandaise. It had grilled chicken breast, bacon, grilled onions and white Cheddar cheese on the inside.

I had never formally gone to IHOP, and my friend just so happened to be hosting a gathering there. The interior is quite dated, and retro, if you will. I ordered the chicken enchiladas; the dish was filling, but far too salty for my liking. The presentation was messy, and seemed to be right off the pan, judging by my friends’ orders. Simply put, this is a good restaurant to try out if you are interested in «American food»! However, I don’t see myself returning anytime soon.

Wanted a nice American/​Canadian breakfast with two colleagues and we sat at the booth which was obviously made for very little thin people cause we were squished in like sausages
We ordered steak tips & eggs which were actually fantastic, sausage & eggs with pancakes and tea — it was ok sausage was a bit salty but the pancakes were good, and a ham and cheese omelette which was ok.
The coffee was terrible — didn’t even taste like coffee — so we ordered tea.
Al in all was an okay breakfast but I think there are far better places in the same area that are better — so sadly we will not be returning.

Great pancakes had the chocolate chip pancakes and orange juice
Server was great she is a computer prof at kwantlen. I will be back great

I was craving American food for dinner so I decided on ihop. Usually ihop pancakes taste the same no matter what state you’re in (in the US) but for the first time, I had ihop pancakes that did not taste like how I’m used to. These pancakes tasted like homemade ones, from the «just add water» box mix that I make all the time lol. The only reason I eat at ihop is to get light and fluffy pancakes with that distinct flavor I can’t recreate at home. It wasn’t horrible; but it just didn’t taste like ihop pancakes, and that’s their specialty so it was a bit disappointing. The service was great though!

We always come here for a breakfast when there is a birthday as the food here is delicious. There are two IHOP locations in Richmond and this is the better location.
The servers are friendly and the service is quick. The menu is large with many options so there will be something for everyone. For me personally I always order something different than what I make at home.

We came here on a hung over Saturday.
There was about a 10 min wait for a table, parking was pretty tight, we were all not feeling well and well. .. Life was just hard that day lol
The food is what you expect for breakfast. Some great pancakes and breakfasts but the kind of stuff that is impossible to screw up.
The reason for the 5 stars is the service! Once we sat down our like 6’3 male waiter came around and he was with us every 5 min or right when he saw something or someone that needed any help. A real class act that took our hangovers away!
If you want to go out for breakfast, why not come here and be treated like a movie star lol.

One of the oldest IHOP around.
Right across the street from Richmond Centre, lots of dedicated parking.
Staff are fast and attentive and food comes fast.
We ordered:
Steak Tips and Eggs with pancakes
Strawberry and Banana Pancakes with 2 soft poached eggs and sausages.
Free Wifi and friendly service.

Likes: pancakes, service
Dislikes: presentation of food
Background: Was craving pancakes for dinner so naturally went to IHOP. ‘Twas a cold December night in 2013 and i was accompanied by my family.
Ambience:
It is very cramped, so I can only imagine how breakfasts are like at this restaurant. It’s right across from Richmond Centre, so I’m sure it gets very crowded.
I went for dinner, so it wasn’t busy at all. We actually thought it had closed for the evening.
Food:
I ordered a mocha, which was presented to me in a huge cup. Bigger than my face. However, it didn’t look as appetizing as the one shown on their menu.
I also ordered red velvet pancakes. These were a hit sloppily stacked together with a little bit of whipped cream and cream cheese sauce. Presentation again, wasn’t too sexy. Boo.
It tasted standard IHOP though. Of course it was too sweet. But I loved it.
Service:
Was seated right away. Given that it was practically empty, we got our food right away. The server had a sarcastic, dry humour which I enjoyed. Our glasses of water were always filled.
Value:
Pretty good deal as always. Portion is fair for the price you pay.
Verdict:
This location is pretty prime. Would be nice if they have a bigger restaurant though. Just need to work on their food presentation to make things look really appetizing. Even more than they do in the menu description!

We decided to go to IHOP after we endured a horrible service experience this morning at the Diner no.1 in Stevenson.
We were greeted with a huge smile and seated promptly. The menu accommodated my dietary restrictions and I ordered an egg white omelette with swiss cheese and turkey bacon. Our waiter Kelly, was FANTASTIC and for three of us the total bill came to $ 35.00.
I will definitely be back! Keep up the great work guys!

It’s just one of those places where it’s kinda ‘meh’…neither really good or really bad.
Just find this location is a bit cramped compared to the roomier one in burnaby… esp. at the seating area at the front doors, watch out for the chill.
my personal fav is the orange marmalade sauce w/​the crepes.
Not fond of their so-​called strawberry toppings, they’re canned one, w/​the great artificial sauce ;)
though it’s not saying much, i still prefer denny’s for more variety, esp. the desserts ;)

Came for an early lunch (i.e. late brunch) on a Saturday and didn’t have to wait for a table. Service was friendly, efficient, and prompt. Food came out quickly. We chatted and sipped on coffee until the cows came home, then paid the bill and left, stuffed and relaxed.
I was also surprised that most breakfast dishes exceed $ 11. As far as food goes (assorted breakfast proteins, hash browns), it’s IHOP, folks. But I was also surprised, pleasantly, that I enjoyed the buttermilk PANCAKES here more, say (dare I say), than those at some current hot-​spots like Jethro’s Fine Grub in Vancouver (even though the latter dishes them up at four times the size).

First of all, if you going to an IHOP and ordering anything but breakfast it’s your fault, not theirs. Second how can you expect an American franchise to serve healthy, light food, that impossible. IHOP is about late brunch with a bunch guys, it’s the real world equivalent of Harold and Kumar’s Whitecastle. So for the food, stick to pancakes and eggs. I like the hash-​browns but those aren’t that good here.
The only downside about this particular branch, it’s always crowded on weekends and there are long waits. Finding a parking spot is another hassle. Caution: «Whatever you do, don’t park in a space not marked for IHOP customer. You will be ticketed.». I have received a ticket parking in one of those free spots, so I would recommend parking in the Richmond Malls across the road.

Pricy and small portion

There are times for places like IHOP and Dennys. Many people cringe at the thought, but I love breakfast throughout the day and let me get straight that BREAKFAST is the only IHOP meal that I will ever order, no matter what time of day it is.
That said. Terrific service at this IHOP. No They can’t do anything about the food, but at least I was in and out quickly!

I had the misfortune of being dragged here for breakfast with my in-​laws, who don’t always have the best taste in food. I guess they have «great» IHOPs in their hometown but I’d rather go hungry than come back here again!
Standard greasy breakfast fare, but much worse quality than Denny’s… service was non-​enthusiastic and average speed, the parking lot was full leading us to park in the shopping centre across the street, and the food was not good (soggy bacon, so-​so pancakes, etc…)
If you’re going out for breakfast, just make the drive into Vancouver for better food. At $ 10-​$ 15 a person, it’s so not worth it.

This location has been around for ages and given the limited amount of pancake places in Richmond, IHOP becomes a default for weekend morning breakfast.
This location is central and close to a bus stop. Parking is decent enough as there are rarely too many people here.
Service is decent and food is standard IHOP with nothing out of the ordinary. The funnest part is all the seniors that tend to talk to you about how their coffee is bitter.
