Lively Richmond pub with surprisingly strong Thai/Cambodian cooking, friendly locals, live music, and simple rooms upstairs; good value food, but expect pub noise and some service inconsistencies at busy times.
Red Cow delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality in its Thai and Cambodian dishes, paired with genuinely friendly service and excellent value for Richmond. However, quality variation in curry execution and occasional service delays during peak hours prevent grade A-level reliability. The warm, lively pub atmosphere and loyal local following make it a worthwhile destination for casual dining, though it falls short of the area's premier establishments.
One caveat: Rooms upstairs can be noisy and a bit tired according to several guests
